Shifting Trouble Elsewhere

"Since everyone was more or less ready, let's begin."

Xuanzi's lazy voice drifted over.

Yet after he finished speaking, no one made a move.

No one chose to attack first.

Instead, they watched quietly as the situation developed.

In this Dark Forest free-for-all competition format, no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out and become everyone else's target.

After all, everyone's strength was not actually that far apart.

Becoming the target of public criticism would undoubtedly greatly increase the risk of elimination.

Amid the crowd.

Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly darted around, and an evil smile curled across his lips, though he quickly suppressed it.

Immediately afterward, an unidentified voice rang out from the crowd.

"Take out the Outer Academy Twin Stars first!"

The moment those words were spoken, they gave direction to everyone who had yet to settle on a target.

That's right, the Outer Academy Twin Stars!

Their gazes turned toward Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

The title of Outer Academy Twin Stars was indeed quite famous for the two of them.

Since no one knew whom to attack first, why not deal with the most renowned people first?

Voices of agreement soon followed.

"That's right, take out the Outer Academy Twin Stars first!"

"Exactly. Deal with the most troublesome ones first, then we can settle our own affairs among ourselves!"

One voice of support rose after another.

Especially those Outer Academy upperclassmen who already had grievances with either Bei Bei or Xu Sanshi. They were especially enthusiastic in their support.

The Outer Academy students who bore no grudges against either of them did not object either.

After all, better a fellow cultivator than oneself.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were drawing the fire for them, so naturally they were happy to see it happen.
