Hua Xichen Got It Right This Time...

To be honest, although the blow from the Sage's Descent was severe, Hua Xichen said that with the help of various miraculous medicines, his recovery wasn't too difficult...

And compared to the path to victory we see now, is that really a serious blow?

Can anyone tell me... what does it mean to admit defeat... and win?

I've already given up... how can I possibly win?

How are "conceding defeat" and "winning" combined?

So, if I, Hua Xichen, simply concede defeat to Chu Xinghe, then I, Hua Xichen have won?

Wise One, were you running so fast just now because you were afraid I Hua Xichen curse you out?

What happened to the promised Sage's Descent who could find a loophole in the Heavenly Dao?

Is this the gap?

How can I win if I admit defeat? Ah! Tell me!

Hua Xichen was completely dumbfounded... I even used the Sage's Descent, and you're telling me this?

Is this the Sage's Descent or the arrival of an idiot?

"Xichen... what's going on?" Ming Chenghai was also dumbfounded, looking at Hua Xichen who was completely bewildered and had even started cursing...

Well... Brother Xichen is known for his emotional stability among the younger generation of our entire Spirit Beast Continent. After all, with his Great Prophecy Art, Brother Xichen is practically omniscient and omnipotent. It seems there's nothing in this world that can make Xichen curse...

But today... Brother Xichen not only started swearing... he even started swearing at Wise One! What does that mean? How can you be so disrespectful to Wise One?

Soon... Hua Xichen saw what the Sage's Descent had brought... Ming Chenghai was also dumbfounded...

The next second, Ming Chenghai said that Xichen had just said didn't count as swearing... He didn't disrespect Wise One either, because if this had happened to him, Ming Chenghai, he would have used much harsher language than Xichen...

Admit defeat? Victory?

What the hell does this have to do with anything?

Just as Ming Chenghai was about to drag Hua Xichen into a tirade, Ming Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Xichen... listen to me... do you remember your performance in the last match?"

Hua Xichen was speechless... At this moment, Hua Xichen n't want to remember the previous match; all he wanted to do was curse the entire Wise One's family...

"Xichen... does that black vortex seem like a dead end to us?"

"Not necessarily..."

"Xichen... that's how you see it, what you see with your Great Prophecy Art is different from what ordinary people see... but you rely too much on the Great Prophecy Art, and sometimes that leads you into a passive position..."

Hua Xichen remained silent... because if someone had said that before, he would have definitely retorted, "What the hell are you talking about?"

My Great Prophecy Art has absolutely no idea how it can lose...

But this time... Hua Xichen lacked his usual confidence.

"So, Xichen, think about it... could this also be a way to escape from a desperate situation? Actually, there's a shortcut to the third level. Breaking through the third level means whoever gets out of the maze is victorious... so wouldn't surrendering and getting out also be a way to escape?"

It has to be said that even Hua Xichen's eyes lit up when Ming Chenghai said that...

Because what Chenghai said makes sense... The requirement for breaking the formation is that the first one to get out is the winner, so does admitting defeat also count as getting out?

So this is the sure way to win!

No problem!

Chenghai is really smart... he actually grasped the key point right away... Chenghai made a perfect move this time!

Ming Chenghai is mentally sound or not is unknown... At this moment, with the Sage's Descent, the entire Spirit Beast Continent is excitedly roaring.

After all, everyone in the Spirit Beast Continent knows what the Sage's Descent signifies...

The Sage's Descent is the ultimate power of the Great Prophecy Art. Now that the Sage's Descent, they must have already shown Hua Xichen the right path!

Therefore, as long as Hua Xichen follows the guidance of the Sage's Descent, victory is just around the corner!

Just as countless people from the Spirit Beast Continent were getting excited, Hua Xichen made his move!

Hua Xichen and Ming Chenghai stood up at the same time. The next moment, they looked around confidently and then spoke at the same time!

I surrender!

Spirit Beast Continent: "?"

I surrender!

Spirit Beast Continent: "??"

I surrender!

Spirit Beast Continent: "!!"

With three shouts of "I concede," the entire Labyrinth of the Heavens began to tremble violently... As the Labyrinth of the Heavens trembled, countless streams of Spiritual Qi began to be released from the Spirit Communication Pagoda... The Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Communication Pagoda also began to merge into the Three Continents.

As the Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Communication Pagoda surged into the Three Continents... countless massive resources also flowed from the Spirit Communication Pagoda as a long river into... the Blazing Sun Continent...

Hua Xichen and Ming Chenghai were sent out... They would be automatically sent out if they shouted "I surrender" three times...

At this moment, Hua Xichen and Ming Chenghai, who had returned to the Spirit Beast Continent, had smiles on their faces... but these smiles lasted for less than a second... when they saw a long river of massive resources flowing towards the Blazing Sun Continent!

Hua Xichen: "???"

Ming Chenghai: "???"

They were both stunned...

What's going on? This was supposed to be the only way to defeat Chu Xinghe!

We admit defeat... we've already come out... but what happened to the promise of fighting to the death to survive?

This puts you in a life-or-death situation—you're dead... but what about the next life? Where will you be born?

What the hell happened? They said admitting defeat meant victory! What's going on here?

Whether Hua Xichen and Ming Chenghai were confused or not, the Spirit Beast Continent was definitely in a state of utter confusion...

Um... Hua Xichen... are you absolutely sure you're not a spy from the Blazing Sun Continent who infiltrated our Spirit Beast Continent?

This competition was going so well, even though you guys were completely disoriented, why did you just admit defeat without warning?

And you admit defeat, fine... but what's with that confident look on your face when you admit defeat?

Can you guys explain what the necessary connection is between admitting defeat and being confident?

Not only were the people of the Spirit Beast Continent stunned, but the people of the Blazing Sun Continent were also dumbfounded...

Wait... is the Spirit Beast Continent really that welcoming?

Giving up at the drop of a hat? Isn't that just giving us resources for free?

Why is this happening? Wasn't it supposed to be the Great Prophecy Art versus the Star Divination Art?

Didn't that Hua Xichen just use the Sage's Descent? And then... he immediately conceded defeat after Sage's Descent? What does that mean?

Chu Xinghe and Little Ji were also sent out...

To be honest, Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost peed himself when he was sent out!

I've succeeded! I, Chu Xinghe, have succeeded!

Hua Xichen has definitely led his teammates out of the game... so we lost this one... Little Ji, don't worry, after this game we definitely won't say it's your fault... it's my fault, Chu Xinghe's fault... We're completely done for this game...

Before Chu Xinghe could even get excited... he saw the resource river flowing wildly towards the Blazing Sun Continent.

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... They get resources even after losing? Isn't that absurd?

Before Chu Xinghe could figure out why... he heard the people around him say that Hua Xichen had admitted defeat?

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... What the hell are you guys talking about?

I, Chu Xinghe, was inside with Little Ji... We went around and around until Little Ji threw up...

With us going through all this trouble, shouldn't the other side be winning by a hair's breadth?

But now you're telling me the other side has admitted defeat?

Why the hell is this happening? Hua Xichen, are you out of your mind?

You don't want all these resources... What? You've got Misfortune Compass Branch Compass on you too, haven't you?

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... because he swore to the Chu Xinghe... he had absolutely no reason to lose, okay?

I didn't even give up... I was worried people would say I surrendered after this game...

I didn't even act... I just locked the door and let Little Ji out!

Little Ji and I were going crazy inside, okay... but we're all dead... the enemy self-destructed?

Didn't Hua Xichen possess Great Prophecy Art?

Are you sure this is Great Prophecy Art, or just Great Prophecy of defeat?

Why exactly...? Can you explain this to me Chu Xinghe, right now?

Not to mention Chu Xinghe, even the big shots here don't understand how we won this round...

Xinghe led Little Ji inside and they just kept going in circles. What a mess they made of it!

Why did they surrender so suddenly? And we weren't expecting it either!

"I understand..." Elder He said with a smile as he stroked his beard.

"Holy One, this plan is truly both deadly and morally damaging!" The Great Sage also seemed to have just realized.

Please explain further...

"Hehe... You, Great Sage, are the one to speak?"

"No need, no need, Elder He, please speak..."

"Alright then... since that's the case, I, Old He, will make a fool of myself... As everyone knows, Hua Xichen possesses the Great Prophecy Art, while Xinghe controls the Star Divination Art. I believe everyone is familiar with the Great Prophecy Art and the Star Divination Art, Old He I won't elaborate further. But as for this Labyrinth of the Heavens... Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art really can't compare to the Star Divination Art!"

"Therefore, if Hua Xichen were to use the Great Prophecy Art to counter the Star Divination Art, he knew he would inevitably lose. So, the only way for Hua Xichen to win is to use the Great Prophecy Art to predict our progress. Only by knowing our progress in advance will he have a sliver of a chance to win."

"But Hua Xichen foresaw this, and so did Xinghe... Xinghe brought Little Ji in, using Little Ji's Xuanwu bad luck to find the way, wouldn't the path they found be completely wrong... In that case, the path seen by Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art would naturally also be completely wrong..."

"The Great Prophecy Art repeatedly led Hua Xichen astray, which corresponds to what the Great Sage meant by killing someone by destroying their spirit. This made Hua Xichen doubt his own Great Prophecy Art, which is why he used the Sage's Descent... But even the Sage's Descent couldn't guide Hua Xichen to the right path, because Little Ji was already on the wrong path... How could there be victory?"

"Hua Xichen knew he had no chance of winning; admitting defeat was only a matter of time... So in this battle, not only did Hua Xichen lose... the Great Prophecy Art also lost to Xinghe!"

After Elder He finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted in excitement, because Elder He said was reasonable and well-founded...

Hua Xichen possessed the Great Prophecy Art, but Xinghe even managed to incorporate it into his Great Prophecy Art this time... Chu Xinghe's unparalleled strategy is truly terrifying!

Chu Xinghe didn't know if Chu Xinghe's flawless strategy was terrifying or not... Chu Xinghe just wanted to say... You were all wrong... This round, I, Chu Xinghe, lost... The Great Prophecy Art... He was right... Hua Xichen won...
