At some point, Xun Hui had arrived beside the Old Principal.
With all Five Elders absent, Xun Hui was the only person there qualified to discuss combat strength with the Old Principal.
Xun Hui was curious. Wen Xishu couldn't possibly have no fighting spirit, yet all he could sense at that moment was the faintest trace of it.
"Old man, do you think he can win?"
Albert smiled.
"Hard to say."
Xun Hui said irritably:
"So you're not sure either?"
Albert nodded.
"That's right. I've never climbed a tower with him, after all. Of course I can't be sure."
Xun Hui said:
"This place is directly beneath the Tower of Deception Academy... to be precise, the entire academy is beneath it. He should be able to use uncanny-type sequences here. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident."
"But he's only been to the Slaughter Tower once."
"Even if he has some unfathomable tricks, there's probably still a considerable gap between him and that Miyamoto Family kid in terms of raw combat stats."
"Don't you think you're taking a bit of a risk? This is an awards ceremony and an appointment ceremony. If Wen Xishu loses... it'll be pretty embarrassing."
Albert merely said:
"It's just like when you worried he'd die on his next trip to the Strange Tower. But not only did he survive, he came back with an unimaginably high completion level."
Xun Hui fell silent.

In fact, Wen Xishu thought so too.
Beating Miyamoto... beating this Slaughter Tower prodigy, who's quite a bit stronger than Nissen and Yue Yun are right now, shouldn't be a problem-but it definitely won't be easy.
He would use Slaughter
