Adversity Challenge!

The news of the Cloud Firmament Sect's elimination shocked the entire world. But just when everyone was speechless at this outrageous news, an even more outrageous piece of news came from the Vast Heaven Sect.

The Cloud Firmament Sect has approached the Vast Heaven Sect, proposing Adversity Challenge.

Adversity Challenge have always existed in various arena competitions across the Blazing Sun Continent. The so-called Adversity Challenge are very simple and straightforward: if you feel unwilling to accept defeat, you can initiate Adversity Challenge.

The revival round has been restarted, but this Adversity Challenge isn't something that can be initiated lightly, otherwise things would fall apart.

The purpose of Adversity Challenges was originally to prevent shady dealings and underhanded practices.

For example, a very strong team might be maliciously matched with opponents, resulting in their elimination in the first round despite having the potential for a better ranking. In such a situation, they could launch Adversity Challenge to prove themselves.

But even if the Cloud Firmament Sect was eliminated in this round, they can't Cloud Firmament Sect claim they were treated unfairly, can they?

You guys drew this yourself, and your opponents were just five Rogue Person. You lost so badly, what right do you have to complain?

In addition to this prerequisite, launching Adversity Challenge also requires setting up a deposit of one million resources. If the Adversity Challenge is successful, the deposit can be returned, but if it fails, the deposit goes directly to the challenged party.

Therefore, very few people have ever initiated Adversity Challenge.

But this time, the Cloud Firmament Sect Adversity Challenge.

There's no way around it... Cloud Firmament Sect has truly lost all face in this match. If they don't launch the Adversity Challenge, how will Cloud Firmament Sect survive in the future?

Therefore, even with the risk of millions of resources, the Cloud Firmament Sect still chose to Adversity Challenge without hesitation.

It doesn't mean that just because your Cloud Firmament Sect puts up a million resources, you can launch Adversity Challenge. Given the current situation of the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Vast Heaven Sect can simply say that you don't qualify for an Adversity Challenge and reject your application.

In fact, the Grand Elder did intend to do just that.

When the Grand Elder heard Ling Su shamelessly come to declare his intention to launch Adversity Challenge, he really wanted to ask Ling Su a question.

Have you no shame?

Do you Cloud Firmament Sect have no shame?

Where did you experience unfair treatment?

If you were to say that the Flowing Cloud Sect wanted to launch Adversity Challenge, we wouldn't be unable to accept it...

After all, it was indeed a bit difficult for them to directly choose our Vast Heaven Sect.

But your Cloud Firmament Sect Rogue Person lost even to a rogue cultivator, so what kind of Adversity Challenge?

The Grand Elder had originally intended to refuse, but before he could speak, Xinghe interrupted him.

Xinghe immediately declared, "I'm confident I can handle this Adversity Challenge!"

The Grand Elder was also dumbfounded... Xinghe... do you know what you're doing?

If the Cloud Firmament Sect truly succeeds in the Adversity Challenge, they will directly enter the top 100. Should our Vast Heaven Sect then teach them the Spirit Beast Mystic Art or not?

If you teach us, we definitely won't agree. But if we don't, given the Cloud Firmament Sect's nature, they'll be badmouthing us every day.

Xinghe, what are you thinking?

However, seeing Xinghe's solemn expression, the Grand Elder felt that Xinghe must have some backup plan, so after thinking it over, the Grand Elder agreed to Ling Su's request.

Chu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Grand Elder had agreed, and silently prayed for the Cloud Firmament Sect.

You Cloud Firmament Sect really have to do your best this time!

You absolutely have to succeed in this challenge! You have to get into the top 100! Only if you get into the top 100 will I stop passing on my Spirit Beast Mystic Art to you. Only then will you have a chance to smear me! I, Chu Xinghe, just want to smear you!

Vast Heaven Sect immediately accepted Cloud Firmament Sect's million resources and announced to the public that Cloud Firmament Sect was going to launch Adversity Challenge.

Everyone was stunned by this news. Wasn't the Cloud Firmament Sect going a little too far?

Although the Cloud Firmament Sect was shameless, everyone understood that Cloud Firmament Sect were truly desperate.

Although the Adversity Challenge carries the risk of consuming millions of resources, what would happen to the Cloud Firmament Sect's reputation if they were eliminated without launching the Adversity Challenge?

On one hand, they were being called shameless... The Cloud Firmament Sect's espionage incident had already tarnished their reputation, so the Cloud Firmament Sect didn't really care about saving face anymore... Faced with the choice between saving face and being shameless, the Cloud Firmament Sect chose to Adversity Challenge.

The Adversity Challenge requires advancing to the next level. It is not a random challenge from the group where Cloud Firmament Sect and others are located, but rather a challenge is randomly drawn from all the teams that have advanced.

Each party now has its own agenda.

This Adversity Challenge is a challenge not only for the Cloud Firmament Sect, but for everyone.

It's important to understand that the Cloud Firmament Sect must bear the risk of losing all one million resources if they fail, while the teams that are also selected have the opportunity to receive one million resources from the Cloud Firmament Sect.

However, if you lose to the Cloud Firmament Sect, your advancement spot will also be taken by the Cloud Firmament Sect.

So although the Cloud Firmament Sect is a bit shameless, their strength is still undeniable, and everyone is currently focused on this Adversity Challenge.

Amidst the attention of all parties, the draw for this Adversity Challenge began under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The Grand Elder personally presided over the lottery ceremony, and countless people gathered at the scene to await the results.

The drawing of lots was conducted personally by the Grand Elder. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Grand Elder first placed the name cards of all the advancing teams into the drawing box, and then shuffled the order.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Grand Elder drew out the opponent for the Cloud Firmament Sect's Adversity Challenge.

But the moment the name card was opened, the entire drawing room fell into a deathly silence!

Because at this moment, the name card in the Grand Elder's hand clearly bore three large, gold-embossed characters: Martial Emperor City!

Ling Su: "???"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Is there anyone in this world more unlucky than me Chu Xinghe? Is the Xuanwu Blessing truly that terrifying?

When Zheng Yu saw that the city drawn was Martial Emperor City, he was so excited he almost peed himself!

Thank you so much Cloud Firmament Sect member, for the million resources!

This is like our Martial Emperor City getting a million resources for free!

Cheng Xiaotian's face was all wrinkled from smiling so much!

Cheng Xiaotian never dreamed such a good thing would happen!

Isn't this just handing over resources to our Martial Emperor City for free?

It has to be the Cloud Firmament Sect... My good brother!

Not only were the people of Martial Emperor City laughing so hard they peed themselves... everyone was completely stunned with laughter...

If we're talking about something else, it has to be the Cloud Firmament Sect... We don't feel satisfied with losing to Rogue Person; we have to lose to the Martial Emperor City.

Ling Su was completely numb at this point...

If you were to mention the last match against the Soul Devourers Team, Ling Su still doesn't know how Ji Moran lost.

But what's with pulling out Martial Emperor City now?

We don't know how we lost to the Soul Devourers Team, but we definitely know how we lost to Martial Emperor City... We're simply not as strong as Martial Emperor City...

Good heavens! Zheng Yu immediately found Ji Moran, who was in tears, and said, "Little Ji... although we've known each other for a long time, we've never had a chance to fight. Although this is a battle between spirit beasts... don't worry, Little Ji, I've got everything arranged perfectly for you..."

Don't worry... I, Zheng Yu, am not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him. Since your Cloud Firmament Sect has chosen our Martial Emperor City, I, Zheng Yu, guarantee to give you a clear and fair performance...

Okay... In this battle, I'll definitely make sure your Cloud Firmament Sect does its best... Even if you lose in the end, I'll make sure you lose with dignity, okay?

When the outside world sees this great battle, even though your Cloud Firmament Sect lost, it's not shameful for you to lose to Martial Emperor City.

Ji Moran's tears welled up... Um... Senior Brother Zheng Yu... the purpose of our Adversity Challenges isn't to stand still and lose...

Just as Ji Moran was crying her eyes out, Ling Su suddenly spoke up!

"Elder, isn't this going a bit too far in targeting our Cloud Firmament Sect?"

Grand Elder: "???"

The Grand Elder was stunned by Ling Su's words... Although the Grand Elder was known as the number one mastermind behind the scenes of the Vast Heaven Sect, he swore to the heavens that he really did nothing!

My lottery draw is absolutely fair, just, and transparent. If I were to rig it even slightly, I would be the one to lose!

But you can't stop Ling Su from really having no shame at all. At this moment, Ling Su only said one sentence: The lot drawn by the Grand Elder was unfair, and our Cloud Firmament Sect is not satisfied!

The scene was in complete chaos due to Ling Su's shameless behavior.

"Ling Su... does your Cloud Firmament Sect have a sore loser mentality?"

"Heh... If the Cloud Firmament Sect could afford to lose, would they have launched Adversity Challenge?"

"How shameless must someone be to initiate Adversity Challenge..."

"The Grand Elder drew it out in front of all of us, what could be the problem?"

No matter how harsh the mockery around him was, Ling Su simply stated, "Because of some things that happened before, the Cloud Firmament Sect Vast Heaven Sect was clearly targeting us, so we cannot accept what the Grand Elder has chosen."

Cheng Xiaotian was so angry he almost peed his pants... Don't hold me back, let me slap this old dog to death!

The scene almost devolved into a chaotic brawl, but Ling Su was going all out, insisting that the Vast Heaven Sect was definitely targeting the Cloud Firmament Sect and that there was something fishy going on! As a member of the Vast Heaven Sect, the Grand Elder was right to make an exception for the Cloud Firmament Sect!

The Grand Elder was so angry that he was about to have the Sect Gu Mingchao, brought over to behead him. I have done a lot of underhanded things in my life, but this time I will be absolutely fair, just and open.

Just as a fight was about to break out, a voice interrupted everyone.

"Since Elder Ling is not satisfied, how about this: Elder Ling, you draw it yourself?"

As soon as Chu Xinghe finished speaking, Ling Su nodded hurriedly. But while Ling Su was satisfied, Cheng Xiaotian was not having it!

Before Cheng Xiaotian could speak, Chu Xinghe spoke again, "City Lord Cheng, please don't be angry. The Grand Elder's drawing of lots this time was upright and honest, and the truth is clear to everyone. However, in order to avoid giving petty people a reason to criticize us, our Vast Heaven Sect is willing to offer a million resources to compensate Martial Emperor City. This time, Elder Ling will personally draw the lots again..."

Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, the previously chaotic scene instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at Chu Xinghe with flickering eyes.

As expected of the legendary Chu Xinghe, he takes millions of resources without hesitation. What incredible generosity!

And looking at some of the unnamed individuals surnamed Ling, it's clear they're sore losers!

Ling, have you wasted your entire life on dogs?

Chu Xinghe didn't know what the others were thinking; all he knew was that he'd made a killing!

I, Chu Xinghe, originally only thought that after the Cloud Firmament Sect succeeded in the Adversity Challenge, I would not pass on their Spirit Beast Mystic Art and let them retaliate against me. But I never expected that we would lose millions of resources at the very beginning of the draw. If Cloud Firmament Sect succeeds in the challenge, this will be a double win for me, Chu Xinghe, and I will take off on the spot!
