The next day, in the arena.
Today was the second phase of the Grand Sect Competition. All the sects that had passed the qualifying round had already decided their opponents for today by drawing lots, and the order of their participating disciples’ appearances had also been reported early.
Gu Xi and the others arrived in the room early. Regarding Xie Long’s ‘secret visit’ yesterday, the three of them did not inform Tong Shan and rest about this matter.
“You must be extremely cautious in today’s competition. Try to take down the Ancient Sect. But if you can’t, you don’t have to force it. Focus on your own safety. Don’t get seriously injured because of this competition.”
Before the competition began, Tang Conglin instructed the others with a serious expression.
Apart from Gu Xi and Qing Zhu, the remaining five people in front of them were all geniuses that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had taken great pains to recruit. As long as they could grow up steadily, their future achievements would be limitless.
If they lost these disciples because of the Grand Sect Competition, it would be a great loss. It would be too late to regret.
“I understand.” Hou Yu was the first to speak, and the rest of the people nodded in agreement.
Then, the group of seven left the room and went to the waiting area below to wait for the arrangements for the Grand Sect Competition to begin.
Tong Shan, Tang Conglin, and Little Nine stayed in the room. Except for Little Nine, the two of them were very nervous.
They had defeated the Ten Thousand Demons Valley yesterday. Although the Ten Thousand Demons Valley was known for being difficult to deal with, it was still only a second-rate force. However, the Ancient Sect they were facing today was a genuine first-rate force. It was impossible for them not to be nervous!
“I hope these little guys won’t let us down.” Looking down at the sea of people in the stands, Tang Conglin said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. The result might be beyond our expectations.” At the side, Tong Shan glanced at the indifferent Little Nine from the corner of his eyes. For some reason, he felt slightly relieved.
“I hope so.” Tang Conglin did not notice this. He nodded with a bitter smile.
As the leader of the team from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, if they lost the competition, even if they lost to the Ancient Sect, he would still be held responsible.
…
Below them, a group of seven people quickly came to a conclusion under the arrangements of the relevant personnel. To their surprise, the competition between them and the Ancient Sect was arranged to be the first. This involuntarily caused the originally nervous crowd to become even more nervous.
Today’s arena was different from yesterday. The dozens of arenas in the arena had all gathered into one at this moment. The area had become even larger compared to before.
“All of you don’t need to be nervous. There might not be a need for all of you to act in today’s competition.” Gu Xi glanced at the few people who were somewhat nervous and softly laughed.
Hearing this, the few of them were stunned for a moment before they immediately understood the meaning behind Gu Xi’s words. Hou Yu curled his lips in disdain and said indifferently, “Don’t be too full of yourself. Don’t be beaten down the moment you enter the arena. You will embarrass our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
“You should keep these words to yourself.” Gu Xi coldly glanced at Hou Yu before turning around and walking towards the arena. “However, if I am beaten down from the arena, I will be the first to beat you up.”
Hearing this, Hou Yu’s face could not help but darken. However, at the crucial moment when the competition was about to begin, he tactfully did not continue to find trouble with Gu Xi.
After all, if it was because of him that caused Gu Xi to perform poorly in the arena, or even lead to the defeat of the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he could not bear the responsibility.
Very soon, Gu Xi’s figure appeared on the arena.
Across from him, a disciple of the Ancient Sect had been waiting quietly for a long time.
“Are the people of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion so unpunctual?” The man from the Ancient Sect glanced indifferently at Gu Xi, who had arrived late, and his tone was clearly very displeased.
Gu Xi shrugged and replied with a hidden meaning, “There’s nothing I can do. After all, there was a rat scurrying around my house last night, and I didn’t sleep well.”
Hearing this, the man looked confused. Xie Long, who was below the ring, turned pale when he heard this.
“Did you catch the rat?” the man asked curiously.
“No, it ran pretty fast.” Gu Xi shook his head regretfully.
“That’s good…” The man suddenly grinned and continued, “You can go home and catch the rat soon.”
The meaning behind his words was that he was sure that he would win this competition.
Gu Xi pointed to the location of the ancient people below and smiled strangely. He replied, “That rat seems to have run to your house. I’d better send you back to look for it.”
“Shameless baosting!” Hearing this, the man snorted and an extraordinary fluctuation burst out from his body.
“With this bit of strength, how could you have the nerve to boast in front of me?” Sensing the fluctuation released by the man, Gu Xi shook his head in disappointment.
This person’s cultivation realm had only just touched the threshold of the Saint stage, and there was still a long way to go before he could break through to the Saint stage.
Although this guy’s strength was top-notch in other sects, in the Ancient Sect, he was clearly not the Ancient Sect’s trump card.
In Gu Xi’s view, this guy was just a pawn to scout for the Ancient Sect.
To put it bluntly, he was just a cannon fodder who came up to sell himself.
“Your mouth is quite tough. I hope your strength is also like this!”
Gu Xi’s words clearly ignited the man’s anger. As a person who was like a Proud Son of Heaven in the sect, when had he ever been treated like this? Moreover, he had been looked down upon in front of so many people, which made him even more unbearable.
“Ancient Mysterious Palm!” the man shouted sternly, and a large amount of spiritual power gathered on his palm. Very quickly, a mysterious fluctuation spread out.
In the next moment, he tapped the tip of his foot, and his entire body shot out like an arrow leaving a bowstring. In the blink of an eye, he was already several feet away from Gu Xi.
“What speed!” Below the stage, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could not help but exclaim.
If they were in his place, if they were slightly careless, this man from the Ancient Sect would find an opportunity to strike, and the situation would fall into a disadvantageous position in an instant.
On the other hand, Gu Xi was still standing in the same spot in a daze, as if he had not reacted at all.
“What is this idiot doing?!” seeing this, Hou Yu could not help but growl.
If he really lost the first round, then the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s face would really be lost.
Bang!
Boom!
After two consecutive sounds, a figure flew out.
Bang!
After another muffled sound, a figure fell to the ground. No one knew if this person was dead or alive.
Thousands of gazes were anxiously focused on that figure. When they saw the person lying on the ground clearly, everyone could not help but be stunned on the spot.
