Chapter 392: 1st Round of the Group Battle Begins
“Senior sister, remember our plan. If you can fight, fight. If you can’t win, or rather, if you can’t hold on anymore, don’t fight. Just admit defeat!
“There will be no punishment in the first round of the competition. At the same time, there will be no rewards. It’s not worth it to be impulsive for fame and fortune. Remember, we won’t lose anything, because what we lose will be gained in the second round of the competition. Do you understand?”
“Although I don’t quite understand, as long as it’s what you say, I’ll believe it.”
“That’s good. And you, sister, I won’t tell you anything else. Don’t try to be brave. Remember, the two of you are women that I can’t lose in this lifetime. Don’t make any mistakes!”
“Understood,” said Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling in unison.
“Alright, you can get ready to go on stage.”
With that, the three of them followed the great elder into the arena.
“I have to say, what you said just now does make sense.”
“Great elder, did you hear it?”
“It’s hard not to.”
“Sigh. To put it bluntly, the other elders also know that they can’t win, but they are too concerned about their reputation. They insist on letting their disciples fight to the death. However, what’ll happen in the end? Their trump cards would be discovered by others, and they’ll lose the chance to turn the tables.
“As the saying goes, unsheathed swords are the most terrifying. No matter how strong a trump card is, once it is exposed, it will easily be targeted. It’s not difficult to think of this, but because of their reputation, they are too embarrassed to say it out loud.
“I am different. I am a spiritual pedestal realm disciple, and I don’t have much reputation, to begin with. What’s wrong with losing some?”
Victor spread his hands very shamelessly, but it made the great elder laugh.
“You brat, you can see it clearly, but unfortunately, too many people are troubled by reputation.”
“That’s why everyone is drunk whereas I am sober.”
Victor laughed loudly and came to the Fire Sect’s arena to sit down.
The moment they saw Victor, some people raised their doubts.
Why didn’t you go on stage? Instead, you let your sister go?
There were even some people, some of the more extreme women, who accused Victor of hiding behind women and passing the buck. It was shameful, but Victor was too lazy to argue with them.
Please, Lian Hua was a genius with nine feet and nine inches of spirit reserve. She was much better than you bunch of noobs. If it were others, Victor would naturally go on stage.
“Can you still be considered a man? As expected, in the end, you still have to rely on us women!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, the standard of women’s rights. I didn’t expect someone to have such a small brain in this world.”
Victor chuckled and turned around. He looked at the woman and chuckled. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly just now. What did you say?”
“I said, you’re a coward who only knows how to hide behind women. Is that wrong?”
“You’re right, but you’re not completely right. First of all, my senior sister is the second best disciple in the entire inner sect. Logically speaking, she has to go on stage. Is that right?”
“What about your sister? Why aren’t you the one on stage?”
“I didn’t go on stage because other than my strength, I don’t know any cultivation techniques. On the other hand, my sister is the exact opposite. She’s the genius among the others who has nine feet and nine inches of spirit reserve. Moreover, she’s someone trustworthy. She’s unlike you. You’re someone who has no figure, no face, no talent, no cultivation, and you only know how to pick on the faults of others all day long, yet can’t see that you’re a piece of trash thats covered in shit. You’re asking me why I’m hiding behind a woman? Then why don’t you think about why no one is hiding behind you? Because you are not worthy of trust.
“My sister and my senior sister are worthy of trust, so they choose to take the initiative to participate in the battle, and you, what have you contributed?
“You sitting here has proven everything. You aren’t even qualified to participate, what right do you have to mock me?
“They can afford to hide people behind their backs. What about you? Hehe, you’re the weakest among the weaklings.”
Victor’s words were not polite at all and hit all her sore spots. The woman who spoke rudely shed tears on the spot. She thought her crying looked beautiful and she hoped to seek pity from others.
Unfortunately, the majority of the others were normal people.
Not to mention men, even other women hated such people to the extreme.
Whoever was stronger would participate. Wasn’t this a reasonable thing?
Moreover, what business did a bystander like her have with matters between brothers and sisters? It was none of her business.
Victor curled his lips in disdain. He did not even need to waste so much breath on this kind of person. If it were not for the fact that there were too many people, Victor would have made her die of shame on the spot!
Not far away, the great elder who had witnessed everything could not help but smile bitterly.
“Is that kid really the great elder’s disciple? His strength isn’t that great, but he has such a powerful tongue!”
“The key point is that what he said was completely reasonable.”
“I have long been unhappy with that woman. She flaunts her independence as an independent woman every day while taking advantage of female rights.”
“However, at the end of the day, men still have to protect women, right?”
“Then go and protect her.”
“Forget it.”
For some time, the voices in the audience were all against that sarcastic woman. On the contrary, they praised Victor even more.
On the other side, after the preparations were done, the participants of the group battle began to draw lots to assign their opponents. Fortunately, Nalan Lengling drew a cultivator at the peak of the spiritual pedestal realm. As for Lian Hua, she was not so lucky. She met Han Feng in the first round.
As Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling’s match was in the second half, they were seated in the audience seats in the first half.
“Senior sister, your match is very simple. As long as you don’t reveal your trump card, it’s fine. However, sister, your opponent is very troublesome. According to my observation, his strength is capable of crushing that b*stard Wang Hongyu. So you must not force yourself and just surrender.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not stupid. Isn’t competing with a core formation cultivator equivalent to asking for trouble?”
“That’s good. Also, I’ll leave the arena in a while to prepare for the second round of the competition.”
The candidates for the second round had already been decided. Apart from the six disciples of the five elders, there were also 14 strong disciples from the inner sect who came from poor families.
As for the selection of the 14 inner sect disciples, Victor had specifically asked the great elder for help.
The reason was simple. These people were very easy. As long as you gave them some benefits, they would be willing to work for you. This was because they had never felt any warmth in the sect. When someone suddenly stood up for them… that person would become their benefactor.
This was exactly the role that Victor wanted to play.
Moreover, what Victor wanted to give them was a huge benefit. As long as one’s brain was rational, they would not choose to reject the temptation of the Blood Source Ore, especially those disciples who had the ability but no background!
Soon, it was noon. Victor turned around and left. Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling also began their competition.
