Chapter 1033: Two Sects Join Forces!
The purpose of using the "defending the platform" method in this preliminary selection of the conference is to choose the top ten influential forces with the most outstanding strength.
Just imagine, with hundreds of forces participating in the conference, each force would need to go through dozens of battles. The winner who can make it to the end is undoubtedly exceptional.
However, this is also a very difficult process. After all, there are many people who have the idea of taking advantage and are unwilling to make their move too early. They only want to preserve their strength until others are exhausted and then make a powerful attack to win the platform completely.
It must be said that there are quite a few people who have such thoughts.
But if we look at it from a different perspective, occupying a platform in advance can also gain some advantage.
The stronger your displayed strength, the fewer people will dare to challenge you. This will make it easier for you and increase your chances of winning!
This principle is most intuitively demonstrated by the teenager on the tenth platform at this moment.
Su Yi has indeed had some idle time. He watched the extremely lively battles on the first nine platforms ahead, with winners and losers being determined one after another. But on his side, there has been no one coming up to challenge for half a day.
Long ago, someone brought a timekeeping device and placed it next to the tenth platform, waiting for an hour to pass. If no one challenges, Su Yi will advance directly and take a spot.
Even so, as they watched the timer move slowly, many people felt anxious, but it was still difficult to see anyone stepping forward.
The strength shown by the young boy was extraordinary. He clearly drove Jixuan Sect off the platform, but he didn’t reveal his full strength.
With the unknown depth of the situation, no one wanted to act rashly.
However, the major forces participating in the contest also had their own estimations. They all believed that Su Yi’s strength was undoubtedly in the ninth level of the Yuan True Realm, and it was very likely that he had reached its peak!
Among the third-rate forces in the Chaos Realm, practitioners under the age of thirty and with advanced cultivation were mostly around the seventh level of the Yuan True Realm. There were some at the eighth level, but they were not numerous, totaling only about thirty to fifty people.
In this way, no matter which force faced the young boy, they would not gain any advantages.
Therefore, no one wanted to stand out, even if they had the strength to exhaust that youth from the Overlord Sect. In the end, they might end up benefiting others.
"If no one challenges anymore, that kid will automatically advance!"
Among the crowd watching, someone anxiously said that time was passing quickly, but they were too scared to go up and challenge, so they could only hope someone else would take the lead.
Su Yi didn’t care about what these people thought. He watched as another group of people started to go up and challenge on the other platforms.
As his gaze unintentionally swept across the area under the platform, Su Yi saw some familiar figures in the distance.
Among them, there was a graceful and charming young boy who waved at him with excitement.
Su Yi also smiled back, and seeing the girl’s smile, he felt a special sensation in his heart.
"Mysterious Sword Gate is also very powerful!"
As Su Yi looked around the girl, he noticed that there were many disciples from the Mysterious Sword Gate with deep and extraordinary aura.
After nodding at Ji Tianfu, Su Yi felt another gaze.
Looking around, he saw a group of people from the Liuhe Sect again.
The other person kindly smiled at him, especially the young couple, showing goodwill.
Su Yi naturally wouldn’t refuse such a friendly gesture and returned the greeting sincerely.
"Master, let’s go and take care of that guy! I don’t believe that he can handle all twenty of us from the Seven Star Sword Sect!"
On the other side, the leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect stood by Ran Jianxuan’s side and confidently said.
The Seven Star Sword Sect is much stronger than the Jixuan Sect, they are completely different in terms of power.
This disciple is confident and believes that they have a chance to defeat that kid from the Overlord Sect with their twenty members.
The most important thing is that no one dares to challenge them anymore, which makes them truly anxious.
"Master Yang, do you have any good ideas?"
Ran Jianxuan didn’t rush to make a statement, but instead looked towards the direction of the Golden Sword Sect and asked Yang Baikun.
He didn’t have as much confidence as his disciples, that boy is quite difficult to deal with, he might end up suffering a big loss.
"Lord Ran probably already has a solution in mind, why not just say it out loud? As long as we can kill that boy and avenge my son, even if I have to give up on this competition, I’m willing!"
Yang Baikun looked deeply into Ran Jianxuan’s eyes, and said with a murderous tone.
He knew Ran Jianxuan was not to be underestimated, he must have some thoughts in mind.
"Good, my thoughts are the same as Lord Yang! Since that’s the case, let’s cooperate once again with all our strength!"
Ran Jianxuan nodded, his gaze shifted back to the young boy on the stage, and he said word by word, "This boy is very mysterious, we already knew he was powerful, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to kill my son Ran Yan and my grandson!"
Ran Jianxuan knew very well that the Overlord Sect boy was not just that, his methods were deceitful, and he could even make his mount, the Aoka Split Heavenly Tiger, dare not resist, and be beheaded with a single slash.
Faced with such an extraordinary young boy, he dared not underestimate him in the slightest, otherwise it would be like sending his disciple to his death.
Ran Jianxuan’s words were gloomy, he continued, "So, our two major sects will join forces and send out the ten strongest disciples to attack and kill that young boy. Only then will we have the greatest chance of killing him!"
Speaking of the end, a strong light burst from Ran Jianxuan’s small narrow eyes, fierce and unstoppable.
"I agree with this method!"
Yang Baikun nodded in agreement when he heard that, but then he thought for a moment and said, "So, whose turn will it be for the first challenge?"
This is a difficult decision, and it is important for both the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Golden Sword Sect.
Each sect has two spots, and no matter whose turn it is, once it’s used, there will be one less chance to challenge on stage.
Yang Baikun said that as long as they can kill that boy, he would give up his spot in the competition. But if they can have both, he won’t let it slip away.
"If we work together to attack that boy, there will be two possible outcomes! First, we win and successfully kill him. Then we can continue to defend our position. It’s crucial to have the chance to get a spot! Second, that boy is too strong even for us together, and we lose to him. Then this opportunity will be completely wasted! Third, that boy senses danger and gives up before the fight, saving his life while we also secure our position!"
Ran Jianxuan spoke slowly, carefully explaining.
Yang Baikun listened and thought to himself, indeed there will be these three possible outcomes.
And besides, if they successfully kill the young member of the Overlord Sect and successfully defend the challenge until the end, the one who provided the opportunity will also gain the final qualification.
"Since we’ve agreed to work together, my suggestion is that we don’t worry too much about who gets the opportunity. Let Master Yang make the decision. Besides, apart from this time, we still have three more chances to compete. Even if we can’t hold the stage once, we’ll still have more opportunities to challenge!" said Ran Jianxuan.
After thinking for a while, Yang Baikun said, "Since Master Ran has put it this way, let my Golden Sword Sect provide the opportunity for the first challenge. Today is a chance to compete for sure, but tomorrow is the real critical time with the fiercest duel. Our two sects have decided to join forces, so let’s support each other until the end. That way, we’ll be more competitive."
The two continued to discuss, and the sect masters of the Golden Sword Sect and the Seven Star Sword Sect finally decided that the first opportunity would be provided by the Golden Sword Sect. It would be best if they could successfully kill the kid, but if they fail, they still have a chance to make a move and compete for the qualification to challenge the stage.
In order to kill Su Yi, the two major forces, who have been fiercely competing and sharing the same territory, decided to join forces.
"This kid must die to ease my deep hatred!"
Both Ran Jianxuan and Yang Baikun have a deep-seated hatred for Su Yi.
Especially Ran Jianxuan, their Seven Star Sword Sect has suffered immeasurable losses because of that kid.
The two selected the top ten outstanding disciples from their respective sects, gathered them together, and presented their tokens at the side of the testing stone on behalf of the Golden Sword Sect.
Twenty young disciples of the martial arts sect looked fierce, they were all full of energy and looked at the tenth platform with eyes like knives!
"We, the Golden Sword Sect, will challenge the tenth platform!"
The leading disciples of the Golden Sword Sect were a young man in his late twenties. After passing the test, he spoke loudly.
Immediately, twenty figures soared into the air and rushed to the tenth platform.
These twenty figures, half of them held knives and the other half held swords. Their robes were also of two different colors, clearly distinguished.
"The time is getting close, and they dare to challenge that kid now!"
"Hehe, finally someone dares to go up and challenge, now we have something interesting to watch!"
"Looking at the strength of this group, it seems much stronger than the Jixuan Sect. I wonder what the result will be this time."
The crowd immediately started discussing, many people were originally worried that no one would dare to challenge the tenth platform anymore, or that no one would want to face such a tough challenge.
As the time of one hour approached, the young boy from the Overlord Sect could directly advance to the next level. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone finally took the stage and challenged him.
What’s more, many people could see that the twenty figures who took the stage were much stronger than the people from the Jixuan Sect before.
The overwhelming and powerful aura impressed everyone.
As a result, countless people started to anticipate and wanted to see what the final outcome would be on the tenth arena.
