Dongfang Yuejian's expression changed as she said:
"Doesn't that mean it'll be our turn soon?"
Xu Taiping asked with some curiosity:
"How did those sixteen fare?"
Xuanzhi looked at Xu Taiping with a solemn expression and said:
"Of those sixteen, ten lost and six drew."
Xu Taiping's heart jolted as he said:
"There were even draws?"
Dongfang Yuejian, standing beside him, seemed to know something about this and immediately explained to Xu Taiping:
"A so-called draw means voluntarily conceding during the match. As long as that Heavenly Dragon Realm cultivator agrees, it will be ruled a draw, and they can remain in the Immortal Burial Ruins while also receiving a Dragon-Slaying Token."
"In all likelihood, the Nine Abysses wants to use this method to divide the human cultivators."
Xuanzhi nodded at this point and said:
"Miss Yuejian is right. Those matches that ended in draws were over very quickly. The Dragon Catchers on the two sides certainly never fought."
Xu Taiping nodded in realization and said:
"The Nine Abysses has long since regarded us as its main opponent. If it can get its opponents to concede voluntarily, it can save itself some effort."
Xu Taiping immediately added:
"This is just as well. At least it lets us know which teams of Dragon-Slaying Persons will be more trustworthy in the coming dragon-slaying battle."
Master Xuanzhi also nodded and said:
"This monk thinks so too."
Dongfang Yuejian, however, frowned and said:
"But in that case, I'm afraid our team's chances of winning will be even lower."
Just then, Gu Yu also walked over to them.
Upon seeing Pang Zhong's name in the Battle Merit Ledger, he immediately frowned and asked:
"Upper Immortals, is this Pang Zhong in the Battle Merit Ledger my next opponent in the Test the Blade Assembly?"
