Jiang Xian and the others finally saw what "madness" looked like! At a single barked command, the Xu Gang members swarmed like rabid dogs, forming groups of two and three to surround the trial participants where they stood.
One had to know that anyone who had remained standing after Su Qianqian's single sword strike possessed, at the very least, Grandmaster cultivation.
Yet most Xu Gang members were merely Innate!
But the Xu Gang had always upheld the principle of never dueling when a brawl would do. Each of them was superbly trained. The instant they surrounded someone, those meant to lock throats locked throats, those meant to control from afar controlled from afar, and those meant to punch and kick punched and kicked...
Three Innates could actually bring down an unprepared Grandmaster in an instant.
The Grandmasters were dumbfounded as well.
What was going on? Did they have some special buff? Ignoring cultivation and judging only by their momentum, they might have thought these people rushing in to knock others down and subdue them were trial officers.
But...
That was wrong! They were clearly only Innates! Where was their "fear"?
"I'm a Grandmaster!" one trial participant shouted indignantly. Even after being brought down, he still could not process what had just happened.
"But we're Innates!" The three Innates who had brought him down shouted even louder, as though they were declaring some overwhelmingly persuasive truth.
The Grandmaster trial participants could not help but freeze.

Bang! Bang!
Xu Gang members were immediately blasted away.
They could not withstand even a mere storm of spiritual essence.
The Grandmasters had no idea what bear's heart and leopard's gall these Innates
