Zhuge Qiyue said calmly, "Leave Huang Xiaochen to me."
Her words drew little reaction from the others.
To them, dealing with Huang Xiaochen alone would hardly solve anything.
The disciples in Group Three were all strong.
If they matched up according to strength, their chances of winning would be slim.
If they used mismatched pairings, adopting Tian Ji's horse-racing strategy, they would still have to see whether their opponents were willing to race on their terms.
If their opponents simply fought in order of strength, that horse-racing strategy would fall apart.
So, in a sense, this was a dead knot.
The only way to untie it was for Zhuge Qiyue to defeat Huang Xiaochen.
And after that, she would have to challenge several more disciples down the lineup.
That way, the mismatched pairings would naturally fall into place.
But the chances of that happening were not as high as they imagined.
After all, Huang Xiaochen already ranked first on the Monster Ranking, even if Zhuge Qiyue had defeated him before.
That was all in the past.
Murong Qingxian drew a deep breath. "Then we'll leave Huang Xiaochen to Sister Qiyue. Let's discuss everyone else's matches."
Then he shifted the subject. "Unless something unexpected happens, they should send their disciples out in order of strength."
"We need to arrange our lineup on that basis."
"Does anyone have any objections to that assumption?"
At his words, the others instinctively nodded, indicating that they had none.
"Good. Then I'll declare my position first. Leave Gu Xuan to me," Murong Qingxian said.
Gu Xuan.
Seventh on the Monster Ranking.
And in their Group One, no one besides Zhuge Qiyue was on the Monster Ranking.
So, judging by their known strengths, he, the second-ranked disciple on the Outer City Disciple Ranking, could only step up.
