Chapter 163: Drawing Lots

At the same time, he poured in his spirit essence and let them release the internal images and information. He then pointed at the images and asked questions.

After confirming the specific details of many teams, Fang Yuan let Gu Tianqing go. Fortunately, Gu Tianqing had already noticed those things when he was doing his homework.

Therefore, he was very familiar with Fang Yuan’s questions. He answered the questions in just a few words, and at the same time, he gave Fang Yuan a lot of knowledge.

It was all knowledge related to the complaints of this world. It was not that Fang Yuan could not access this information before, but it was because they were too trivial and many.

If there was no one else to organize and analyze them, and only one person to work hard, even if they worked themselves to death, they would not be able to get any useful conclusions!

Fang Yuan already knew that this Gu Dao convention had three stages.

And the Gu Immortal Sect had already successfully passed the first stage!

After the selection round, the second part, the main force battle segment was next!

Previously, the competition was divided into four regions, but this time, the second stage was where the sects from each region were placed together.

They then were to have a two-on-two competition!

And at this time, according to the requirements of the Gu Dao convention, the Gu Immortal Sect, as the third place in the eastern region, was matched up against another group of experts. With experts all around, who dared to relax?

That must be an extremely intense battle, Fang Yuan thought silently.

But the difference between this second stage and the previous battles was that this stage did not test the individuals’ strength in each group.

Instead, it tested the cooperation between each sect’s members and their familiarity with the other sects.

Fang Yuan actually felt that this second stage was where the attention of the emperor of the Yan Shen Empire was placed.

Through such battles, not only could it temporarily disrupt the ratio of people in different teams, it could also tell them that victory was not only obtained by relying on themselves, but that teammates were also extremely important!

Of course, that wasn’t true if one had absolute strength, and could single-handedly defeat everyone!

However, the probability of that happening was very small. Even if it really happened and it seemed like it had disrupted the Yan Shen Empire’s emperor’s arrangements, in reality, he was more than happy!

This second stage of the competition had used this method to let the various sects understand each other better, let their guard down, and cultivate a sense of cooperation.

On another level, the strength of the few great sects must have been hidden in previous competitions, and the difference in strength between them wouldn’t be too big.

To actually allow these sects to display their true strength, one could see their true relationship with each other, or even deeper, directly see the strength and attitude of the sects themselves!

Although the Emperor had enough confidence that he would be able to suppress whatever happened, he could understand the strength and relationship of his subordinates in advance, and maintain the internal balance of strength within the Yan Shen Empire.

It was also an extremely good thing!

Fang Yuan only thought about it casually, and felt great admiration for this formation by the Yan Shen Empire’s emperor!

To be able to use such a method to achieve multiple goals at the same time, to make all the participants satisfied, to display their strength, to receive praise, and to obtain fame, wasn’t this what they hoped for?

And the rewards for the champions after that would allow those who were truly capable to receive rewards, killing many birds with one stone!

This plan could not be said to be lacking in precision!

In the second stage, if they wanted to win, they needed to win two battles out of three.

After understanding enough information, Fang Yuan and the Gu Immortal Sect disciples had a good rest for the day.

...

The first day of the second stage.

Fang Yuan led the Gu Immortal Sect disciples to the Gu Dao convention venue early on.

Because they were using the inner passage, there were not many people, but when Fang Yuan and the others arrived at the competition venue, they saw that the spectators were already standing shoulder to shoulder!

The competition venue was crowded. There were people everywhere, after all, this was a huge event in the Yan Shen Empire!

There were even people from other great empires and large forces nearby who came to watch. It was definitely a grand event.

Following that, the competition continued according to the usual procedures.

First, the Yan Shen Empire’s etiquette manager, who was also in charge of this competition, started to draw lots for the four sects that were competing first and split them into two teams.

Fang Yuan was the person in charge of the Gu Immortal Sect’s group, so he was sent to represent them in drawing lots.

After Fang Yuan and the other three sects finished marking the four numbers on the small balls, they placed them into the bucket that had been prepared beforehand, and mixed it up.

Fang Yuan reached in and took a look. The small ball had the number ‘2’ written on it, which meant that the Gu Immortal Sect’s next match would be held in the second arena.

The others also went forward to draw lots, and left after receiving the corresponding information about the arena, when the Gu Immortal Sect members arrived at the second arena, Fang Yuan’s pupils shrunk!

The group of people standing opposite him was the group that had shocked Wan Qian earlier, the ones dressed in fancy clothes and had very strange moves.

At this moment, Gu Tianqing, who was standing next to Fang Yuan, approached him and whispered, “Senior, why do I feel that there is something wrong with the aura on the other side?”

“Based on the strength that they have displayed, it’s impossible for them to appear here!”

Fang Yuan looked at Gu Tianqing and did not say anything. He asked directly, “Have you studied their team members who were in the video before?”

Gu Tianqing said awkwardly, “Oh, Senior, wasn’t this the information in the documents in the mail? I’ve already sorted through them. If I go through them again now, wouldn’t that be unnecessary?”

Looking at Gu Tianqing’s silly look, Fang Yuan knew that he had guessed the ending!

“Alright, if that’s the case, you can go back to my place after the competition today. It’s better for you to take a look at some of the information!”

“The opposing team isn’t ordinary. I can only say that they are very strong!”

Fang Yuan said to Gu Tianqing with a serious expression.

“Ah, it can’t be, Senior. My family didn’t tell me that there was such a strong team. They shouldn’t be lying to me, right?”
