"Do you want to continue practicing martial arts again?" Lan Ruoxi inquired.

"Sure. But let's stop sparring." Xiao Tian didn't want to get beaten by Lan Ruoxi again. That was why he didn't want to spar with her anymore.

"Hehe." Lan Ruoxi giggled. "Why?"

"Well, it's bec-" before Xiao Tian had finished his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Sheng.

"Because he didn't want to get beaten by you." Zhao Sheng marched towards Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi. "It must hurt his pride to get beaten up by a woman. Isn't that right, my friend?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Tian said.

"Haha." Zhao Sheng could not help but laugh after seeing Xiao Tian's expression.

Then Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi continued practicing martial arts for another thirty minutes before finally, they stopped.

After Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi took a bath, they spent time together in the family room.

The next day at 09:00 am, Lishang came to their house. Yahui had said that they would discuss the plan to attack the Blue Ice Lotus gang yesterday. That was why Lishang came to pick them up.

Without waiting for another second, they traveled to Ryu martial arts school. When they stepped into the guest room, they saw eight people sitting on the chairs.

Xiao Tian knew six of them. Those six people were Jufan, Yahui, Shuren, Deming, Cheung, and Bai Long.

'I have never seen them before. Are they from Tiger martial arts school?'

Since he didn't know the two people who were sitting beside Shuren, Xiao Tian suspected that they were the instructors of the Tiger martial arts school.

"Oh! You have come?" Yahui said when he noticed Xiao Tian and the others. "Let's head to the private room to discuss our plan."

Then they headed to the private room. The private room was quite big, with a lot of antique furniture adorning the room. Like the guest room, the chairs and tables were made of wood.

After sitting on the chair, Yahui said, "I'm sure everyone here knows the location of the Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters. However, we still don't know the total number of their members. Not only that, we also still don't know how strong they are. If we want to success in destroying them, we must know about this."

"You are right." Shuren stated, "This information is very important to us."

"Ace, Black, Crystal, do you have any information about them?" Jufan inquired.

"Based on our previous information, they have about eighty members and half of them are martial artists at the low-level master stage." The reason Xiao Tian didn't tell the truth was that he wanted them to underestimate his gang.

If Xiao Tian told them that he had one hundred and twenty people, he was sure that they would bring at least one hundred and forty people.

By saying this, Xiao Tian hoped that they would only bring one hundred to one hundred and twenty people later.

With this, they would not be outnumbered later. Of course, Xiao Tian knew that there was a high possibility that they would bring more than that later.

"Eighty members, huh?" Shuren spoke as he touched his chin.

"Grandmasters, how many people do you plan to bring to the war later?" Zhao Sheng inquired.

It was a perfect time to gather information, so Zhao Sheng would not let the opportunity slip away.

"I will bring fifty people later. Forty disciples and ten instructors." Jufan responded.

"Same here. I will send fifty people later. Forty-five disciples and five instructors." after saying that, Yahui looked at Shuren. "How many people will you bring later?"

"Because our opponent only has eighty people, I will send thirty people later. Twenty-five disciples and five instructors. I think this is enough because we will have one hundred and thirty people later." Shuren thought it was enough to destroy the Blue Ice Lotus gang later because Jufan, Yahui, and he would also participate in the war later.

Xiao Tian, Zhao Sheng, and Lan Ruoxi were pleased after hearing their words. With this, the difference in their numbers would not be too big later.

With only a gap of ten people, the chances of them winning the war would be higher after they managed to poison Jufan and the others.

"Shuren, we both will bring fifty people and you only want to send thirty people?!" Yahui thought it was unfair if Shuren would only send thirty people later. He wanted Shuren to also bring fifty people like them.

"Grandmaster Yahui, I think one hundred and thirty people is already enough. Not only do we have more people, but we also have many people who are skilled in martial arts like the three of you and the instructors." Of course, Xiao Tian would not let them increase their numbers because it would be troublesome later.

"Ace is right." Zhao Sheng added. "Half of our enemies are just Disciple stage martial artists, so I believe we already have a high chance of winning a war with that many people."

"I think so too." Lan Ruoxi uttered, "We will have twenty instructors and three grandmasters later so it's already enough. I'm sure one instructor can fight two to three martial artists at the low-level master stage."

Lan Ruoxi then continued, "Let's say that one instructor can fight two enemies, so twenty instructors can fight forty enemies later. Doesn't this mean that the instructors alone can already take on half of our enemies? And don't forget that we still have one hundred and ten people who are ready to fight later."

"She is right." Shuren agreed with Lan Ruoxi's words. "With this, we only need to take care the rest and I'm sure, with one hundred and ten people, it will be easy for us to defeat them."

"All we need to worry about is only five people." Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before continuing, "Those people are Xiao Tian, Mu Huo, Chun Hua, Ren Aoxu and that mysterious woman."

"Do you have any information about them?" Jufan inquired.

"I'm not sure about this, but we think, Xiao Tian and Chun Hua are already at the high-level master stage. Ren Aoxu is a martial artist at the low-level master stage. As for Mu Huo and the mysterious lady, we think, they are already at the low-level grandmaster stage." Zhao Sheng had no choice but to lie because they had seen their skills before.

Xiao Tian had defeated Qigang, a martial artist at the high-level master stage. If Zhao Sheng said that Xiao Tian was only at the low-level master stage, they would immediately know that Xiao Tian did something to Qigang.

Xiao Tian had earned a good reputation after defeating Qigang, so Zhao Sheng didn't want to tarnish Xiao Tian's good reputation.

"We will deal with Xiao Tian, Chun Hua and Ren Aoxu." Xiao Tian spoke, "Grandmasters please deal with Mu Huo and the mysterious lady because we are not their opponents."

Jufan, Shuren, and Yahui looked at each other before nodding their heads. "All right."

Even though Mu Huo and the mysterious lady were already at the low-level grandmaster stage, but the three of them were also at the low-level grandmaster stage. They were sure that they would be able to defeat Mu Huo and the mysterious lady later.

Xiao Tian was pleased when they agreed.

'Now it's time to carry out our next plan.'

Xiao Tian said in his head.
