BXBX NOVEL Chapter 435
“Zhan Clan... Zhan Clan?”
A disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was stunned for a moment before his expression changed drastically.
He was not the only one. Everyone in the room had ugly expressions on their faces.
Tong Shan and Tang Conglin looked at each other. They could see the worry in each other’s eyes.
They had thought that based on their performance in the first two rounds, there should not be any overly powerful opponents who would choose them in the third round. After all, everyone knew that one had to pick the weak one.
However, the Zhan Clan chose them instead of the weak ones. This was something that they had never expected.
They were not the only ones. When Jiang Li announced the result, the audience in the stands and even the judges on the high platform were surprised. However, it was the Zhan Clan’s right to choose which team to fight against. No one could interfere in this matter.
“Don’t be discouraged. It’s just a match against the Zhan Clan.”
After a moment, Tang Conglin adjusted his emotions briefly. His gaze slowly swept across Gu Xi and the others behind him, he continued, “The Order of the third round is random. This means that the victory and defeat between us and the Zhan Clan will still be equally divided. Of course, if we are lucky enough, the scales of victory may eventually tip in our favor.”
Although Tang Conglin tried his best to adjust everyone’s confidence, it was obviously not of much use against the famous first-rate force, the Zhan Clan.
Soon, Jiang Li had announced all the results. Then, he began to announce the order of the teams.
“The order of the White Jade Sect’s teams: Wang Yang, Li Gongchao, Zhang Tian...”
“Refined Void Spirit Sect’s team order: Liu Shan, Zhao Zonghai, Feng Lanlan...”
...
As the order of the teams was announced, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the room started to get nervous. Even Tong Shan and Tang Conglin were nervous.
If they could get a good order, or if the Zhan Clan’s order was slightly worse, it would increase their chances of winning.
“Zhan Clan’s order: Zhan Gaoyuan, Zhan Shengjie, Zhan Ning, Zhan Hong, Zhan Honglang, Zhan Peng, Zhan Yang.”
“Zhan Hong’s order is actually in the middle...” After listening to the Zhan Clan’s order, Tang Conglin could not help but frown.
“There’s no rush. Let’s look at our order first.” Tong Shan immediately comforted him.
At the same time, Jiang Li’s voice rang out again:
“The order of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s team: Liu Shi, Wang Tianli, Nan Qian, Hou Yu, Liu Li, Gu Lan.”
The atmosphere in the spacious room fell into silence once again.
Tong Shan’s face darkened when the order of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s team was announced. Tang Conglin, who was standing by the side, looked even more worried.
Ever since Qing Zhu left, according to the rules of the Grand Sect Competition, they could not recruit disciples for the team. They could only choose to participate in the following matches with six people. Without Qing Zhu, only Hou Yu and Gu Xi were qualified to fight in the team. However, the order of the match forced him to the back. This was undoubtedly bad news.
Tong Shan and Tang Conglin looked at each other again and sighed helplessly.
They already did not have the advantage in numbers. If nothing unexpected happened, their journey into the Grand Sect Competition would probably end here.
However, the two of them chose to remain silent because they could not say those disheartening words at this time, which would affect the morale of the disciples behind them.
No matter what, they were still the elite disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Although their strength might not be comparable to the geniuses of the first-rate forces, these people were all painstakingly groomed by the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. In the future, they would be the mainstay of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
It was just a Grand Sect Competition of the sects. If they were defeated, they would just treat it as an experience to gain experience.
“According to the order of this fight, everyone should make some preparations. Other than Hou Yu and Gu Lan, the rest of you who will go on stage first have only one thing to do, and that is to use your normal or even extraordinary strength to defeat your opponents as much as possible. Even if you have no hope of defeating them, you should try your best to exhaust them and fight for opportunities for the next people to go on stage.”
Tang Conglin took a deep breath and began to instruct the disciples he brought with him. His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Gu Xi.
He knew that among their team, Gu Xi was the strongest. What made him feel ashamed was that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had actually fallen to placing the hopes of their team on a young outsider.
On the other side, somewhere in the stands.
“I didn’t expect the Zhan Clan to challenge the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
Fifth Brother half squatted on his seat with a puzzled look in his eyes.
“It doesn’t matter who is the opponent of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. In any case, Gu Lan will definitely die at our hands in the end. It’s just a matter of time now.”
Second Brother spoke indifferently, obviously very confident in killing Gu Xi.
“I just don’t know if that Zhan Hong of the Zhan Clan is strong or not.” Seventh Brother spoke in a thick dialect.
“That’s right. It would be best if Zhan Hong could help us get rid of Gu Lan directly.” Fourth Brother, who had a round figure, said while chewing something.
“He must die by our hands.” The Boss, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke. He got up and walked down the stage first.
Soon, it would be their turn to go on stage. This time, their opponent was a team from a second-rate force. This was nothing but a piece of cake for them.
As Jiang Li announced the order of all the teams to go on stage one by one, it was time for the official competition. However, the competition this time was still as lively as ever.
The members of the Blood Spirit Society also went on stage very quickly. As expected, they still ended the competition with extremely brutal methods. Although they did not kill anyone like before, almost every member of the opposing team was seriously injured.
This move could not help but cause dissatisfaction among many people. Some people even filed complaints. However, due to the rules of the competition, as long as no one was killed, the judges were not allowed to interfere with any of the players’ actions on the stage.
