"The 'Honghua Pavilion' dungeon set the last deadline for Ye Weiming at three days. Plus, the penalty for failure was severe, which was something Ye Weiming was unwilling to bear.
Losing one level was tolerable since it could be regained in ten or so days of casual training, but the penalty of randomly dropping one level of martial arts was disgustingly severe.
'Random' could pick a skill that was of no consequence, or it could hit a critical life-saving trump card!
What if it hit a minor target? Who would you argue with?
Therefore, forming an elite team of five was a must, and the other four teammates had to be carefully chosen.
Fortunately, the penalty for this 'Divine Weapon Catastrophe' task only concerned Ye Weiming alone, so he didn't have to force the companions he brought to take the same significant risk.
Otherwise, given Ye Weiming's conscience, he really wouldn't feel comfortable asking his friends to take this huge risk with him.
