"Ah!"
Bai Wanbao turned around in confusion and saw Zuo Mulin beckoning to him, then he stood up and walked towards them.
"What's the matter?"
"Do you recognize him?"
Zuo Mulin pointed to Jiang Yuan beside him and asked Bai Wanbao.
Bai Wanbao looked at Jiang Yuan, frowned slightly after a while, and said, "I don't recognize him."
"Eh?"
Zuo Mulin was surprised for a moment, then he realized, "Oh, that's right, you were in this Grotto Heaven before the Joint Examination of the four academies."
Bai Wanbao frowned, "What, is he also from your Academy?"
"Of course not."
Zuo Mulin smiled, then nudged Jiang Yuan with his elbow: "He almost joined our Academy, but because he didn't succeed, he came to the Grotto Heaven as a Loose Cultivator."
"Loose Cultivator?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and upon hearing this term, the venerable Nezha and others also turned their heads to look at this young man with short hair and a frown.
"Yes, those of us who haven't entered an Academy but instead improve ourselves through real battles in various Grotto Heavens are called Loose Cultivators by the students of your academies."
After saying this expressionlessly, Bai Wanbao turned his head back to Zuo Mulin: "So, why did you call me over?"
"To introduce him to you."
Zuo Mulin put his arm around Bai Wanbao's shoulder and cheerfully began introducing Jiang Yuan to Bai Wanbao.
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, watching Zuo Mulin's actions and the sunny smile on his face, he roughly made a judgment.
Probably a guy with a trait of "Social Awesomeness" similar to Mu Qianshan.
After all, judging by Bai Wanbao's demeanor, he seems to rather dislike those students from the top four prestigious academies.
"Look, the first place in our four schools' Joint Examination, just a Card Spirit, you can think of it as a type of alternative Guardian Beast, just one defeated Shi Zhuan."
"Hm?"
Bai Wanbao looked back at Jiang Yuan in surprise, then asked Zuo Mulin, "Does this mean he broke through the defenses?"
He had also fought with Shi Zhuan before.
In another Grotto Heaven.
At that time, Shi Zhuan had just acquired the Pale Floating Tomb, and despite this, he was unable to break through the defenses of the Pale Floating Tomb, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Of course, he wouldn't admit that he was also somewhat wary of the power pattern of the Pale Floating Tomb.
After all, his strengths do not lie in brute force.
"Of course, how can it be called a defeat if he didn't break through the defenses?"
Zuo Mulin spoke proudly, as if he were the one who defeated Shi Zhuan.
"Impressive."
After receiving Zuo Mulin's affirmative reply, Bai Wanbao turned his head back and praised Jiang Yuan expressionlessly.
Facing Bai Wanbao's praise, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"It's alright, my attack method just happens to counter his type."
"Winning is winning, I recognize your strength."
Bai Wanbao's somewhat childish demeanor made Jiang Yuan feel even more at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Bai Wanbao soon shifted his attention to Zuo Mulin.
"So, did you call me over just to simply get to know him?"
"Of course not."
Zuo Mulin shook his head, "Isn't your squad missing one person? How about letting him join your squad?"
"Hm?"
Bai Wanbao's expression seemed a mix of surprise and confusion as he asked Zuo Mulin, "With his strength, he could easily lead a squad on his own, why should he join mine?"
"Because I have no intention of leading, nor am I able to lead a team," Jiang Yuan said as he saw Zuo Mulin looking at him.
If it were up to him to lead a team, he'd rather just take Nezha, Shi Ji and the others and confront Kayadinger's squad head-on.
Not to speak of the final victory probability, at least they would be together.
"I'm joining your squad for no other reason than wanting to take down Kayadinger."
Jiang Yuan stated his intentions indifferently: "As long as you guys hold off the rest of their squad, I can take down Kayadinger!"
"As for the distribution of the spoils of war, apart from the backpack card on him, I don't want anything else."
"Hm? Is there a feud?"
Bai Wanbao was curious, and Zuo Mulin also looked up at Jiang Yuan.
It was necessary for Jiang Yuan to explain this himself.
"It's not a feud, but he has a celestial material I need."
"Thunder Light Radish?"
After pondering for a moment, Bai Wanbao quickly understood.
Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to speak again, Bai Wanbao immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"Then…"
"But there's a condition from my squad as well."
"You say."
"Before you confront Kayadinger, you need to listen to me, at least don't act on your own upon seeing him."
"That goes without saying."
Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation, agreeing to the condition.
After all, it wasn't his own squad; it was only proper to follow the rules of someone else's squad.
"Of course, if we encounter him on the battlefield, Kayadinger will definitely be handed over to you."
"Good."
After nodding vigorously, Bai Wanbao waved his hand and called over the members of his squad.
"After the last battle, our sq
