After confirming for quite a while, Vorquis finally spoke to Yang Yu:

"It seems you don't intend to challenge me one-on-one.

Instead, you're aiming for a three-on-three team battle."

Using the judgement principle that appears with the Task, Yang Yu issued Vorquis a Task.

As soon as Yang Yu conceived a thought like "If he completes a certain challenge, I'll reward him with something...",

Heroes with a System similar to Yang Yu's would receive that Task.

This allowed Vorquis to anticipate what he was to do next and naturally led to the introduction of Yang Yu's own team members for further confirmation of the matters he wanted to check.

"Exactly.

One-on-one duels certainly have their charm, but team battles are the mainstream for us.

My team brought down so many soldiers from Luo Ze Empire with ease.

You and your squad couldn't do that, could you?"

Vorquis scoffed with disdain:

"Hmph, Luo Ze Empire is too stingy; that's why they sent so few people.

If I were you, I'd handle them all by myself.

You and your companions must have felt the aura of royalty emanating from me and scurried into hiding.

If they are really capable, let them come out and show me.

I'm certain I could knock them down with ease."

"Don't regret it later."

Finished speaking, Yang Yu called out to Bai Jin and the others who were hiding in the bushes.

"Yellow Flower, Mu Jin. Take off your hats and come out confidently!"

Hearing Yang Yu's voice, Iyas and Bai Jin straightened themselves up and walked out of the shrubbery.

Vorquis scanned Iyas and Bai Jin from head to toe, opening his panel to confirm their attributes.

Yang Yu arrogantly lifted his head and asked, "What do you think of my partners?"

Vorquis didn't respond to Yang Yu, but briskly walked past him, approaching Iyas with a quick pace and scrutinized her closely, continually confirming her attributes on his panel.

Iyas, feeling at a loss, lowered her head. The memory of being pursued by Vorquis in the All Things Library was essentially etched in her mind.

She couldn't fathom why Yang Yu would call her out at this moment; was he not afraid that Vorquis in front of them would recognize her?

What Yang Yu hoped, however, was that Vorquis would recognize Iyas at first sight.

Unfortunately...

"Elf Lady, do you have a sister named Iyas?

Listen to me, I met her once in a place called the All Things Library.

She was with an unscrupulous man at the time, I tried to help her but that man was just too despicable..."

Facing Vorquis' unceasing prattle, Iyas helplessly glanced toward Yang Yu from the corner of her eye.

Yang Yu, however, wasn't focused on Iyas at all and gestured towards Bai Jin's chest.

Understanding his hint, Bai Jin held the Race Disguise Necklace around her neck, infused Magic, gave it a strong pull, letting the Race Disguise Necklace slide off her smooth skin to the ground.

Then, while Vorquis focused his attention on Iyas, Bai Jin casually hid the Race Disguise Necklace.

When everything was done, Yang Yu finally gave Iyas a look, "I've taught you so much, handle it on your own."

With her face full of black lines and the corner of her mouth twitching, Iyas said:

"You must be mistaken; I don't know any Iyas.

Maybe there is someone by that name, but it's definitely not me; we just happen to look alike.

Resembling each other is not so uncommon among Elves."

"Is that how it is?"

Disappointment raced across Vorquis's face at a visible speed.

Yang Yu gently coughed, and at the right moment, extended his right arm in front of Iyas,

"Don't get too close to my partner, we both belong to Wansheng Country.

Don't forget that we are currently in a hostile relationship.

Now that you know the rules, get ready for battle immediately!

If you keep this up, the little girlfriend behind you might get jealous."

Vorquis declared resolutely, "Little Love is not my girlfriend; we are just partners in adventure."

Saying that, Vorquis looked towards Princess Eena.

Princess Eena's face, which turned grim instantly, became immensely sunny again,

"Ah—how annoying.

Vorquis and I haven't developed to that stage yet, we really are just regular partners.

To say boyfriend and girlfriend is just embarrassingly silly."

Vorquis, expressionless, turned his head back to Yang Yu,

"Then, as we discussed ahead of time.

Let's have a three-on-three.

If we win, I hope you can provide us with the information we need in full..."

Vorquis hadn't finished speaking when Yang Yu interrupted him,

"If you win, I'll give you another piece of particularly special information.

This piece of information could change the fate of humans in one fell swoop.

It should have reached humans much earlier...

This is an internal affair of your race, and I didn't find a good opportunity to say it...

Blame it on the Luo Ze Empire for starting this war!"

"Special information?" Vorquis's spirit was instantly roused, "Now I really have to take this seriously."

"I hope so."

Removing his military cap, Yang Yu completely revealed his multi-colored hair and the mask covering half of his face.

Upon seeing Yang Yu's appearance, the Luoze soldiers present were utterly astonished—Yang Yu's appearance matched that of the legendary Colorful-haired Masked Man.

If it was the Colorful-haired Masked Man, then everything that had happened in the past month seemed to make sense.

"Each side has three minutes to prepare their tactics. Look after your people. If you don't want to lose any more Luo Ze's soldiers, make sure they don't get involved in our fight."

"Did you hear that?"

Vorquis glanced arrogantly at Luo Ze's troops, and the soldiers immediately recoiled, fuming silently, but unable to protest, they could only pack up their things and withdraw from the battlefield.

The orders these soldiers received were to follow the Hero's commands absolutely, and under this premise, their first priority was to ensure the safety of the Heroic Party, followed by conducting investigations.

Thus, even if Yang Yu had taken down so many of Luoze's soldiers, whatever Vorquis said was final.

Even if Vorquis defeated Yang Yu afterward and told them to let Yang Yu go, they wouldn't utter a single complaint.

Yang Yu raised his hand, signaling Bai Jin and Iyas to come over, beginning to discuss tactics to counter Vorquis.

Yang Yu's tactics were quite straightforward—to unleash all their strength as much as possible, show no mercy, and ensure to give the Hero a hard time.

Similarly, Vorquis's tactic arrangement with his partners was just as simple: just take it easy; being the companions of a Hero, Vorquis believed they could handle it.

The two groups thus stood opposite each other on a clear stretch of ground, and the battle began in a very casual manner.

Yang Yu was the first to launch an attack.

Although the opponent didn't recognize him by his panel, Yang Yu needed to conceal his identity, and therefore, many of his skills could not be used.
