Striking a Wolf with a Bamboo Pole, Both Ends Afraid

Amidst much anticipation, the qualifying rounds of the Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix began.

All parties put in their best effort in this qualifying match.

There's no way around it; this qualifying round isn't just about winning or losing, it's also about who gets ranked 100th.

There are ten groups, with twenty teams in each group. This qualifying round will use a random draw to eliminate all teams at once.

In other words, as long as you win this match, you'll be in the top 100, and once you're in the top 100, you'll have the chance to inherit the Spirit Beast Mystic Art.

This is like achieving instant success.

Regardless of whether you win or lose later, this match can determine the fate of many people.

None of the teams that have made it this far are weak, and the inheritance of spirit beasts cannot be ignored by everyone.

However, the most eye-catching battle among all the matches was undoubtedly the one between the Vast Heaven Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect.

The reason is simple: everyone has some understanding of the spirit beasts of each member of the other factions' teams.

It's something that everyone can understand.

But on the Vast Heaven Sect's side, everyone truly couldn't understand it.

Although various rumors were flying around before.

No matter how many rumors circulate, everyone is eager to know the true strength of the Vast Heaven Sect's spirit beasts.

Therefore, the arena where the Vast Heaven Sect is located today is already completely surrounded by people from all over the world who have gathered here to see what the true strength of the Vast Heaven Sect team is like.

Regardless of what outsiders think, the Grand Elder was extremely uneasy today.

Others may not know the situation of the Vast Heaven Sect's forces, but doesn't the Grand Elder have any idea?

Last night, the Grand Elder personally asked Mu Bai and the others if they had confidence, and the answers they received were surprisingly consistent.

I have absolutely no confidence...

The elder was completely baffled by everyone's answers...

But when the Grand Elder asked Xinghe excitedly replied, "Please rest assured, Grand Elder, I, Chu Xinghe, have full confidence in this!"

Grand Elder: "???"

Is it really true that the opinions of these five people on the same team are so polarized?

Xinghe... why don't you want to listen to what other people are saying...? They have absolutely no confidence, while you have a lot of confidence. Isn't that a bit too polarized?

Although the Grand Elder couldn't understand it, he decided to Watch Quietly as Things Change.

No matter how Watch Quietly as Things Change, now that the matter was unfolding before them, it would be a lie to say that the Grand Elder wasn't nervous.

As the host sect, if our Vast Heaven Sect loses in the first round, where will we put our face?

The qualifying rounds use a round-robin format, with participants taking turns to compete. Losers are eliminated, while winners remain on stage to continue fighting until they are defeated.

At this moment, the Vast Heaven Sect team, led by Chu Xinghe, had already stepped onto the arena.

Meanwhile, Ye Suifeng led the Flowing Cloud Sect team onto the stage.

But as all ten men stepped onto the stage, their expressions became somewhat absurd.

Ye Suifeng and his group of five all wore solemn expressions, which was understandable, after all, they were facing the Vast Heaven Sect... Although the Vast Heaven Sect's list of participants this time was a bit outrageous, the Vast Heaven Sect is still the Vast Heaven Sect, right?

The question is... why do the other four members of the Vast Heaven Sect, besides Chu Xinghe, also have solemn expressions?

Logically, shouldn't the Vast Heaven Sect be full of confidence?

But now, nine out of ten people have serious expressions, while Chu Xinghe is all smiles, looking completely relaxed.

Seeing Chu Xinghe so relaxed, both the young people and the bigwigs exclaimed, "This is Chu Xinghe!"

Look at other young people, no matter how strong they are or how famous they are, they still get very nervous in such important situations.

But look at Chu Xinghe... how could you see even a trace of tension in his relaxed and carefree demeanor?

That's the difference!

Just by standing there, Chu Xinghe gives you the feeling that Vast Heaven Sect is invincible.

Chu Xinghe n't know what others were saying, but he only knew that he had no idea how he could possibly lose this game!

As countless people watched, the deployment of troops for the two sides' tag-team battle was completed.

On the Vast Heaven Sect's side, Feng Yuzheng stared blankly at himself, who was the first to appear. Feng Yuzheng was completely dumbfounded.

Feng Yuzheng couldn't understand why Senior Brother Xinghe had put him first. He had absolutely no confidence in himself.

Seeing Feng Yuzheng's bewildered expression, Chu Xinghe laughed heartily.

What? You're asking why Feng Yuzheng is ranked first? Because he has absolutely no confidence!

As the saying goes, you have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. Is there anyone in the whole team softer than Feng Yuzheng's Treasure-Seeking Spirit Cat?

Of all the people, Mu Bai was the Chu Xinghe was most worried about. Don't let Mu Bai's constant complaints about being incompetent or bad at everything fool you.

This guy punched someone so badly last time that they're still in bed. Back then, he even said he was a noob.

So we put Mu Bai last. Even if he pulls off a 1v5 performance at the end, at least we'll have lost four games in a row before that, right?

Feng Yuzheng will be the first to go, and I, Chu Xinghe, will be the second. No matter who your opponent is, if you defeat Feng Yuzheng's Treasure-Seeking Spirit Cat, then I, Chu Xinghe, will concede defeat in the second round...

In the third and fourth matches, let Ouyang Ming and Ouyang Ling play. Even if those two have some problems, even if they're playing some kind of hidden strength trick, at least we didn't have any serious issues with losing the first two matches.

As for why Chu Xinghe didn't arrange for himself to go first... well, Chu Xinghe had his reasons too...

Don't let the fact that the Beast God looks like he's dead fool you. Can you guarantee that Beast God might suddenly wake up and tell Chu Xinghe he'll help you with this blood-sucking challenge?

When the Beast God, your own spirit beast, makes his appearance, don't be fooled by his seemingly dying state. Tell me, one by one, what spirit beast could possibly defeat the Beast God?

Therefore, having Feng Yuzheng play is definitely a sure thing.

If the plan succeeds, the five of us will be wiped out and sent flying. Even if the plan fails, Feng Yuzheng will be the first to appear and get slaughtered. Our Vast Heaven Sect will still lose face, right?

Chu Xinghe now feels that things are too difficult for him... Before, when he made plans, they were just plans.

Now that we're making plans, if you don't come up with a scheme like ABCDEFG, you're just waiting to be slaughtered by those backstabbing dogs.

Seeing Feng Yuzheng take the stage first, the Grand Elder was completely bewildered. Yuzheng was indeed an excellent child, but Yuzheng seemed that he wasn't on the path of combat.

Isn't Yuzheng's spirit cat supposed to be on the treasure-hunting route?

This makes Yuzheng the first to go on stage and fight; isn't that just handing him a free win?

Soon, the Flowing Cloud Sect team completed their formation, but unexpectedly, Ye Suifeng was the first to appear.

This arrangement was also part of Ye Suifeng's calculations.

Ye Suifeng was skeptical of the rather unserious handwritten note from yesterday.

How could the Vast Heaven Sect be so weak?

So after much thought, Ye Suifeng decided to go first. No matter who from the Vast Heaven Sect went first, he, Ye Suifeng, would give it his all and defeat as many as he could. As long as he could defeat any member of the Vast Heaven Sect in this battle, even if they lost, it wouldn't be a loss.

If it's really as the handwritten note says, then wouldn't I, Ye Suifeng, become famous overnight after defeating five opponents single-handedly?

Feng Yuzheng stared blankly at Ye Suifeng, who was looking extremely cautious. If you saw this scene now, you'd understand what it means to be afraid of both sides when trying to catch a wolf with a bamboo pole...

Whether it's scary or not is useless. At this point, regardless of what either side thinks, they still have to take action.

Starlight flickered in Feng Yuzheng's hand, and the Nebula Spirit Cat appeared.

Amidst a burst of lightning, Ye Suifeng's Lightning Earth Dragon also made its appearance.

As expected of the rare spirit beast Lightning Earth Dragon, its size alone is equivalent to more than ten Nebula Spirit Cats, and with the lightning flashing on its body, it looks truly majestic and extraordinary.

However, no one underestimates the Nebula Spirit Cat because of its small size.

Could a spirit beast chosen by the entire Vast Heaven Sect be an ordinary spirit beast?

However, things became somewhat awkward after both sides' spirit beasts entered the arena...

Normally, after both sides' spirit beasts enter the arena, they greet each other and then start the battle. However, after Nebula Spirit Cat and Lightning Earth Dragon left the arena, Feng Yuzheng and Ye Suifeng also greeted each other.

After exchanging greetings, neither of them made the first move.

Even though they hadn't actually fought, looking at the two of them covered in sweat, you'd think they'd been locked in a fierce battle for ages.

Finally... after the Grand Elder of the Star Moon Sect reminded him for the third time, Ye Suifeng waved his hand, and the Lightning Earth Dragon moved.

The enormous, rhinoceros-like Lightning Earth Dragon was enveloped in lightning. With the power of the lightning, the Lightning Earth Dragon displayed a speed completely disproportionate to its massive size.

Almost instantly, the Lightning Earth Dragon was in front of the Nebula Spirit Cat.

Centered on the Lightning Earth Dragon, the Lightning Prison instantly enveloped the Nebula Spirit Cat.

The Lightning Prison unleashed countless lightning snakes, all of which had only one target: the Nebula Spirit Cat within the prison.

Looking at the Nebula Spirit Cat, which was immediately controlled by the Lightning Prison, and then at the bewildered Feng Yuzheng, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears.

Um... Junior Brother Feng, this time it was Senior Brother Xinghe who messed things up for you. But don't panic. Even if your Nebula Spirit Cat gets killed in one move, it's still Senior Brother Xinghe's fault. Even if it's embarrassing, Senior Brother Xinghe will make you embarrass yourself even more later. No one will care whether you're embarrassed or not!

So just let yourself go and embarrass yourself!

Just as Chu Xinghe was waiting for Nebula Spirit Cat to be taken down by the Lightning Earth Dragon, Nebula Spirit Cat, which was imprisoned in a cell by countless bolts of lightning, suddenly moved!

Starlight showered down on Nebula Spirit Cat in an instant, and just as the lightning was about to strike it, Nebula Spirit Cat casually took a step to the left.

Just as Nebula Spirit Cat took that step, a bolt of lightning struck the spot where Nebula Spirit Cat had been standing. The lightning was incredibly fast, but Nebula Spirit Cat had already moved away before it appeared.

It all seemed like a coincidence, but just when everyone thought it was a coincidence, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Feng Yuzheng's Nebula Spirit Cat didn't seem to be trapped in the Lightning Prison at all. It was walking back and forth in the Lightning Prison like a gentleman. But strangely, after each step the Nebula Spirit Cat took, a bolt of lightning would inevitably fall from the sky behind it.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Nebula Spirit Cat, surrounded by lightning, slowly emerged from the rows of lightning bolts like a strolling gentleman.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it walked up to the Lightning Earth Dragon. Then, a ball of starlight gathered on the Nebula Spirit Cat's claws. The Nebula Spirit Cat swung its claws, and the starlight struck the Lightning Earth Dragon directly.

The Lightning Earth Dragon, which was like a mountain to the Nebula Spirit Cat, was sent flying ten meters away by Feng Yuzheng's Nebula Spirit Cat with a single slap, crashing to the ground with a loud thud...

On site. "???"

Chu Xinghe: "????????????????"
