Hearing this, the young disciples lowered their heads and fell silent.
Including Lin Xiaoxiao. There was also a trace of displeasure on her face... though it was put on.
Perhaps because the white-robed prince was present, Yue Li'ai did not wish to make her words too harsh. She eased her tone and said, "So far, although Li Tianming possesses a certain level of combat strength, he has yet to encounter the standout members among you. So don't be fooled by the unchanged rankings. If you truly met him, changing the rankings would not be difficult. As for strength, I stand with you."
Yue Li'ai relaxed for a breath, and everyone else relaxed as well. Yet the fighting spirit in their eyes only grew stronger. As the national team of Kanglong Chen Palace, they had been pushed into such a state that they could hardly hold their heads up.
Especially Yin Chen.
"Imperial Tutor, how exactly will the rules of the fourth round work? Please don't give us another extreme setup like the third round," Yin Chen said.
Yue Li'ai shook her head and said quietly, "To be frank, I don't know."
"Huh?"
Other than the white-robed prince, everyone else was certainly shocked. Kanglong Chen Palace was the designer of the Divine Treasury Assembly—how could she not know the rules?
"Ask no more. Just wait," Yue Li'ai said.
These youths had spent enough time in this Hunyuan Ji. They understood the principle that what should not be asked, should not be asked.
Moreover, from their perspective, it was easy to guess. Kanglong Chen Palace was merely the organizer of the Divine Treasury Assembly; there was also the host, the Tai Yu Imperial Court. If the Tai Yu Imperial Court wished to personally handle certain matters, Kanglong Chen Palace could only cooperate.
