The Sea Shark Gang's Collapse
In stark contrast to the Li Family's triumphant march was the Sea Shark Gang's collapse.
The day after losing to the Li Family, the Sea Shark Gang faced the Golden Saber Sect.
The Golden Saber Sect was nothing special and would never have been a match for the Sea Shark Gang before. But now Whale Fall was gravely wounded, Zhang Miao had a hole through his chest, Jing Tao's arms were shattered, Wu Xinlan had yet to recover from the mental backlash, and Shui Wuzhou, Hai Qiunan, and Zhang Yao were all bedridden.
Only Hai Yansheng, Whale Surge, and a few substitutes around level sixty-five could fight.
In the end, the Sea Shark Gang narrowly defeated the Golden Saber Sect, barely scraping out a win.
But everyone knew they were an arrow at the end of its flight.
On the third day, the Sea Shark Gang faced the Great Yu Dynasty.
One of the strongest teams in the tournament, the Great Yu Dynasty had nine Soul Sages above level seventy on its roster alone.
The result was easy to imagine.
In the one-on-one matches, the Sea Shark Gang suffered a crushing seven-to-zero defeat.
In the two-on-two matches, they lost four to zero.
For the five-on-five match, they conceded outright.
For the ten-on-ten match, they conceded outright.
It was a bloodbath from beginning to end.
After that, the Sea Shark Gang lost
