The Stronger the Opponent, the More Excited Senior Brother Xinghe Gets!
Mu Bai and the others were dumbfounded.
When Senior Brother Xinghe said he would be the first to appear in the next match, Mu Bai and the others were completely confused...
Senior Brother Xinghe, you don't even have a spirit beast. What can you do besides admit defeat when you're the first to appear?
But now Mu Bai understands... do you want our Senior Brother Xinghe to admit defeat?
We need to have opponents, but we don't even have any. Tell me, how could Senior Brother Xinghe lose?
In this round, our Senior Brother Xinghe started, and we gave you all a chance, but you couldn't seize it.
"Senior Brother Xinghe is incredibly insightful!"
"Senior Brother Xinghe's plans are truly flawless!"
"Could Senior Brother Xinghe really know the past Future?!"
The group completely disregarded Chu Xinghe's Chu Xinghe mood and proceeded to unleash a torrent of abuse upon him.
Chu Xinghe was completely numb at this point.
Is this really being unreasonable?
This game, I'm not only not studying my opponents, I'm not even studying my teammates... I'm only studying myself, Chu Xinghe.
I don't know if others can do it, but if I, Chu Xinghe, go up there, I can't even be a sacrificial lamb, right?
I'm just giving this away... I just want to embarrass myself...
What the hell does it mean that you guys won't even let me draw a match for my opponent?
Did you even consider my feelings, Chu Xinghe, when you so directly gave my Vast Heaven Sect a bye?
Besides, even if it's a bye, this is a competition hosted by our Vast Heaven Sect. Logically speaking, shouldn't you all suspect something's fishy about us being given a bye?
The organizer was suddenly pulled out of favor and given a bye – in the past, this would have been considered blatant manipulation, right?
But what's with everyone saying today that the Vast Heaven Sect is flawless?
But upon closer reflection Chu Xinghe understood...
Can you blame them?
If you say the organizers are of above-average strength, and they arranged for someone to have a bye in order to secure a good ranking, then that's considered rigged.
But tell me, does the Vast Heaven Sect need to have a bye?
In the first three rounds, the Vast Heaven Sect sent out three different disciples, but the result was that the three disciples from the Vast Heaven Sect used three different methods to complete three victories against five opponents.
Only Ouyang Ling and Chu Xinghe have not yet made a move.
Ouyang Ling is already a well-known figure, okay?
The title of the world's number one spirit-attaching master is one thing, but the story of Ouyang Ling's bloody defeat of the Poison Venerable a few days ago has already spread throughout the world.
Therefore, everyone says that the main reason Chu Xinghe didn't let Ouyang Ling participate wasn't because Ouyang Ling was incompetent, but because he was protecting the opponent, fearing that Ouyang Ling would be too ruthless and everyone wouldn't be able to withstand it.
As for Chu Xinghe himself... what?
You said there were rumors that Chu Xinghe didn't have a spirit beast... Well, there were also rumors that Ouyang Ming's spirit beast was completely powerless.
There are also rumors that Mu Bai's spirit beast only knows how to farm, and that Feng Yuzheng only knows Treasure Seeking Art.
So if you believe these rumors... you're definitely not thinking straight.
Others come to the Grand Prix to win, but the Vast Heaven Sect comes to the Grand Prix to achieve a five-on-one victory.
It's widely said that the Vast Heaven Sect is under considerable pressure. Regardless of who their opponents are, if they can't defeat five opponents in one fell swoop, the Vast Heaven Sect will lose face...
So, does the Vast Heaven Sect, with its underhanded tactics, need to operate in secrecy?
Others getting a bye is lucky, Vast Heaven Sect getting a bye is everyone's luck...
And just like that... in the competition to advance from 25 to 13, the Vast Heaven Sect received a bye...
The second day's matches lasted from morning until evening.
Even Zheng Yu, facing Listening Snow Pavilion, no longer dared to go easy on Martial Emperor City as he had before.
Listening Snow Pavilion was no pushover. The five Snow Meiniang of the Listening Snow Pavilion looked gentle and weak, but they were ruthless when they struck. Zheng Yu had to put in a proper strategy to finally take down Listening Snow Pavilion.
Elder Xu of the Listening Snow Pavilion at the five dejected disciples; his head hung even lower than theirs...
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If it weren't for his "good luck," Listening Snow Pavilion should still be able to move Xiangqian in this round. In fact, as long as they don't run into something like Northern Nether City, entering the top ten shouldn't be a problem.
Just when everyone was focused on the battle between the Listening Snow Pavilion and Martial Emperor City, a piece of news shocked the entire Spirit Beast City.
"The Soul Devourers Team has defeated the Heavenly Sword Alliance!"
"What? The Heavenly Sword Alliance lost too? Is this Soul Devourers Team really that strong?"
"Not only did they win, the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't even give Zhu Peng, the captain of the Soul Devourers Team, a chance to leave the field!"
"No way... I watched the Heavenly Sword Alliance's previous battles. Heavenly Sword Alliance spirit beasts this time were incredible. I always thought they had the strength to compete for a top-five spot!"
Although the Heavenly Sword Alliance doesn't rank very high among the Ten Great Sects, they've had good luck this time. The spirit beasts their disciples have tamed are indeed very strong, so it's not an exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Sword Alliance Heavenly Sword Sect has the potential to compete for a top-five spot in the Spirit Beast Grand Prix.
But the Heavenly Sword Alliance unexpectedly lost to the Soul Devourers Team?
Chu Xinghe found the news somewhat outrageous.
Has this Soul Devourers Team become this powerful?
Could five Rogue Person possess such strength?
This looks like they're determined to make this dark horse a complete underdog.
With the Soul Devourers's annihilation of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Soul Devourers has now come into the spotlight of all forces.
Even Zheng Yu arranged for someone to find all the information about the Soul Devourers Team.
But you don't know until you start collecting information, and what you find is astonishing. Even with the intelligence network of Martial Emperor City, they couldn't find much specific information about the five members of the Soul Devourers Team.
There is absolutely no information about Zhu Peng.
Information about five Rogue Cultivators shouldn't be this difficult to find, right?
Zheng Yu realized that this Soul Devourers Team seemed to be quite extraordinary. At first, Zheng Yu suspected that the Soul Devourers Team might be related to the Demonic Sect. Could it be that Zhu Peng was Tantai Jing?
However, Zheng Yu used the intelligence network of Martial Emperor City within the Demonic Sect and learned that Tantai Jing was currently in seclusion, and the Demonic Sect had indeed not participated in this Spirit Beast Grand Prix. This Soul Devourers Team did not come from the Demonic Sect.
This is interesting. Zheng Yu also started to wonder, what exactly is this Soul Devourers Team?
Their silent arrival belied such an exaggerated display?
Even though Zheng Yu was confident in himself, he felt he had to be careful. Moreover, the Soul Devourers Team was not only incredibly strong, but their Soul Devouring Snakes seemed to have special abilities. Every team that fought against them seemed to have some of their Spirit Power absorbed and become listless.
While the outside world was discussing the origins of the Soul Devourers Team and how far they could go, Chu Xinghe declared that he didn't care at all about the Soul Devourers Team's background...
They're really strong, aren't they?
Could we possibly draw the Soul Devourers Team in the next round?
If they could become invincible and sweep through our Vast Heaven Sect... then I, Chu Xinghe, would have to bring gifts and go to their door to thank them!
So the stronger the Soul Devourers Team, the more excited I Chu Xinghe, will be!
Mu Bai and the others were initially drawn in by the mystery surrounding the Soul Devourers Team. However, when Mu Bai followed them to Senior Brother Xinghe's location, he discovered that instead of showing any concern upon hearing about the Soul Devourers Team's absurd strength, Senior Brother Xinghe seemed increasingly excited...
Mu Bai knew... that they were simply not on the same level as Senior Brother Xinghe.
When we heard how terrifying the Soul Devourers Team was, our first instinct was to ask ourselves, "Can we win?"
Even someone as powerful as Zheng Yu is pondering this question.
But look at our Senior Brother Xinghe, how excited he was when he heard how powerful the Soul Devourers...
Mu Bai had heard people say that most people in this world feel fear when faced with challenges, but a very small number of people feel excited and even look forward to challenges.
And Senior Brother Xinghe really is that kind of person.
No wonder Senior Brother Xinghe always supports all sorts of seemingly outrageous research in the sect. For Senior Brother Xinghe, nothing is impossible in this world, only things you dare not imagine.
Senior Brother Xinghe is someone who loves to challenge the impossible!
Just as everyone was discussing how far the Soul Devourers Team could go, the draw for the 13-to-7 round was about to begin.
As of now, apart from the Vast Heaven Sect, all twelve remaining teams have already secured the huge prize money for the Grand Prix. Of course, if they advance to the next round, the prize money will increase significantly.
Therefore, winning just one more game would secure a top-six position, since the Vast Heaven Sect is not included in the rankings.
However, when the person to be drawn was chosen, the smile on the face of Dongfang Heng, the Grand Elder of the East Moon Pavilion, had completely vanished.
Because in this round... he was chosen to be the new person to draw lots.
The entire East Moon Pavilion was filled with wails of despair...
Fan Sheng, with tears welling up in his eyes, exclaimed... "I never imagined... that we would ultimately lose not to our opponents... but to you, Elder!"
Although Dongfang Heng immediately declared that he was extremely unwell... it was to no avail, because even though Dongfang Heng vomited two ounces of blood on the spot using his Spirit Power, the other elders all exclaimed, "Dongfang, oh..."
You don't need to act here anymore. You're not feeling well? You're talking like we're perfectly fine!
So no matter how much Dongfang Heng tried to act shamelessly, he still had no choice but to go up to the lottery table in the end.
Looking at the haunted lottery box of the Vast Heaven Sect in front of him... Dongfang Heng wanted to cry but had no tears.
At this moment, countless people below the stage were watching Dongfang Heng draw lots on stage. It wasn't just Dongfang Heng who was nervous; everyone was nervous at this moment.
Those still in the competition are worried about drawing a terrible opponent...
Those who were eliminated were worried that the haunted lottery box of the Vast Heaven Sect would continue to indiscriminately kill people...
If we're talking about the most nervous person, it has to be Chu Xinghe!
This round... please don't give me a bye! I, Chu Xinghe, am willing to trade fifty years of the Beast God's lifespan for the Vast Heaven Sect to not be the last one drawn and given a bye!
Whether it was heaven hearing Chu Xinghe's prayer or not, in full view of everyone, Dongfang Heng tremblingly pulled out the first name card, and as the name card was opened, three large gold characters appeared before everyone!
Vast Heaven Sect!
When Chu Xinghe saw that Vast Heaven Sect was the first to be selected, he almost wet his pants with excitement!
This is in the bag!
