"Void Gate was actually first?"
"They have more people. They took advantage of that."
"After all, the three sects merged. With more people, it's only normal that they'd win a few more Yellow-Grade Matches by using this kind of 'human-wave tactic'..."
Someone sneered. "What good are numbers alone? You have to win. Without this Dao Soldier Formation to maximize the combat strength of ordinary disciples, no amount of people would be enough."
"If you send ordinary disciples up and they can't win, you're just handing points to the other side."
"The more people you have, the more points you give away."

"One or two would be fine, but Void Gate has so many disciples competing in sword discussions, and each of them has a full set, most of them different from one another. Void Gate has truly spent a fortune this time..."

"That's true..."
