Chapter 1044: What’s Inside the Gourd?
Upon hearing this, everyone from the major forces nodded silently, and no one opposed anymore.
The most important reason among these is probably not the strength of the old man in the red robe or the ferocity of his backing forces, but rather, this action will not bring any harm to the top ten forces in the alliance.
The various third-class, fourth-class forces, and countless independent cultivators in the Chaos Realm, don’t matter in the eyes of these people. Anyone who qualifies is the same.
The middle-aged man from the Yuan Emperor Realm received the order and, in Su Yi’s expectant gaze, returned to the arena.
When he relayed the decision made by the alliance’s powerful figures, Su Yi’s entire being was filled with joy.
"This is really great!"
He looked very excited and felt extremely happy about the result.
"You have to let go of the platform that you’ve won and then accept challenges from multiple sides at the same time. Only if you succeed can you become the new champion. Otherwise, you will completely lose your qualification for the competition. Think carefully before making a decision."
The middle-aged man looked deeply at Su Yi once again and felt that this young boy was very different. He only heard him continue saying, "Furthermore, for the sake of fairness, you must at least accept three rounds of challenges for it to count. Unless no one dares to challenge you, then you will automatically advance after an hour."
This last sentence was just explained by the strong members of the alliance.
"Is it like this?" Su Yi touched his nose, raising his eyebrows.
He could accept this requirement. After all, only by doing so could it be considered somewhat fair.
Especially the point about accepting three rounds of challenges, if it wasn’t specified like this, Su Yi could just step in when the match was about to end and take someone else’s platform. Then what would be the point of the other powers playing!
"Okay, I accept!"
Seeing that time was short, Su Yi nodded immediately and agreed.
The middle-aged person looked at him and smiled a little angrily, saying, "Can you still refuse?"
Su Yi rolled his eyes and then wasted no time, directly asking the middle-aged person to announce his decision.
At the same time, he eagerly ran back into the crowd, found Ji Tianfu, and then told Xi Wuqing and the others.
"Overlord Sect is giving up the tenth arena. Is anyone willing to become the champion?"
When the middle-aged person announced this news, the entire square erupted.
"What? Overlord Sect is giving up the tenth arena? Why?"
"Is that kid stupid? He actually wants to give up the qualification he obtained for the grand gathering?"
"Others can’t even get the qualification even if they fight for it, and he just gives it up. What is Overlord Sect up to?"
"It can’t be that simple. What kind of tricks is Overlord Sect playing?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They were previously confused, not knowing what the young man and the middle-aged man were whispering about, or what the middle-aged man had said to the alliance’s strong members. Now it seems they are definitely discussing this matter.
For a while, the crowd on the square went into chaos, no one understanding what the Overlord Sect was up to.
How could they just give up such a good opportunity?
"I, from the Sun Flame Sect, want this spot!"
Just when everyone was confused, a voice shouted loudly, and someone quickly rushed towards the platform.
Then, many factions also reacted.
A platform, representing a qualification for a big event, was given up by someone. Where else could you find such a good deal?
"I, from the Crystal Palace, want the tenth platform!"
"My Liefeng Sect also wants this qualification!"
"And my Flying Rainbow Tower too!"
"I, the Burning Sky Tower, will also compete!"
As the people from the Sun Flame Sect spoke, many other forces woke up like from a dream and immediately spoke out loud, rushing to the platform.
Every person had a strong hopeful expression, wanting to obtain that one spot.
Only a fool would not want this good opportunity, regardless of what tricks the Overlord Sect is up to.
"Since seventeen sects want it, let’s decide by drawing lots!"
The middle-aged man quickly had someone bring some blank bamboo slips and used his finger as a pen to mark each slip, with one slip having a different mark from the others.
Seventeen slips were placed into a drum, held by the middle-aged man, and the recently registered forces came up one by one to draw.
These people drawing the slips all had cultivation below the Yuan Void Realm, so they didn’t dare to play any tricks in front of the middle-aged man, who was at the Yuan Emperor Realm.
Soon, the results of the draw appeared.
"The Sun Flame Sect has been drawn as the new champion of the tenth platform!"
The middle-aged man said loudly, causing the people from other factions to feel disappointed.
Meanwhile, the group of people from the Sun Flame Sect became excited and started celebrating, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, feeling extremely happy.
"Great! We actually got another chance to participate in the platform competition!"
A young person exclaimed excitedly, feeling that the situation had turned around for the better, like a dark night suddenly turning bright.
Originally, they had completely lost their opportunity, but they never expected that this sudden happiness would come.
"The platform competition is almost over, there’s less than an hour left. If we can hold on during this last stage, we will qualify for the next round of the tournament!"
Another young person couldn’t contain their excitement and said.
"Do not underestimate the situation. The last person to go on stage can be as fierce as a mad dog, very dangerous! And now we are missing three strong individuals, so many people will think we are easy to bully and target us."
A calm person thought for a moment and analyzed.
Hearing what he said, the others became quiet one by one and nodded.
Just at that moment, they caught sight of three figures quickly approaching not far away.
"Everyone, we may have had some misunderstandings before, but we can talk about that later. I believe right now, you all certainly need the help of the three of us. How about we collaborate once again?"
A young man with a pointy nose and chubby cheeks came in front of the group from Sun Flame Sect, followed by two other young men.
These three people, who replaced Chen Chuan and cooperated with Sun Flame Sect, were Tang Tianxing, Shi Rongchang, and Du Zhao. They were all independent cultivators with strong abilities.
Looking at their appearance, the person in charge of Sun Flame Sect remained silent for a moment, then straightforwardly said, "Alright, let’s not dwell on the past. I hope this time we can definitively secure this spot."
Tang Tianxing and the other two have good abilities. If they can continue to cooperate, it will be very helpful in holding onto the platform.
Currently, Sun Flame Sect doesn’t have any better options.
"Alright, let’s go up to the stage!"
Tang Tianxing smiled, and his expression seemed cunning.
Both sides, a total of twenty people, stepped onto the tenth stage, replacing Overlord Sect’s position.
"Sun Flame Sect is really lucky, they’ve become the champion again!"
"Out of the seventeen straws, they happened to draw the lucky one! Their luck is amazing!"
"With their strength, it’s highly likely that they can hold on until the end!"
Many people in the crowd spoke with envy and a hint of bitterness.
Sun Flame Sect was pushed off the stage by Mysterious Sword Gate not long ago, but now they’ve climbed back up. It’s all thanks to luck.
And their strength was not weak to begin with, coupled with other forces, they had already suffered considerable damage, and there were really not many who could stand up to them in battle.
So, many people even believed that Sun Flame Sect had completely secured this spot.
Not only that, but the people of Sun Flame Sect also had the same idea. Many people, despite trying to restrain their emotions, couldn’t help but show excitement.
Faintly, the entire Sun Flame Sect seemed different, as if they were anticipating being challenged.
"I, Mysterious Sword Gate, surrender!"
At this moment, Ji Tianfu’s voice came from a distance, and everyone near the arena could hear it.
At this time, the intense battle between Mysterious Sword Gate and Green Dark Sect was in full swing. Green Dark Sect was strong, but it was not easy to completely defeat Mysterious Sword Gate. If they truly fought until the end, they would have to fight tooth and nail for victory.
"sect leader！"
"Dad!"
The disciples of Mysterious Sword Gate were a bit surprised, but they didn’t go against Ji Tianfu, Yu Wenxuan, Ji Hanluo, and the others. They all jumped off the platform and walked towards this side.
"Hmph, Yu Wenxuan, so it turns out that your Mysterious Sword Gate is really so pathetic!"
Among the Green Dark Sect, someone mocked while watching the backs of the people from Mysterious Sword Gate.
"Consider them lucky, otherwise today we would make half of their disciples unable to step down from this platform!"
The young man named Jiang Xu spoke coldly, full of killing intent.
"The Young Sect Leader is right, but it’s a pity that Mysterious Sword Gate is just a group of weaklings!"
Many disciples of the Green Dark Sect chimed in.
Jiang Xu is their Young Sect Leader, with profound cultivation and formidable strength. He has already reached the eighth grade of the Yuan True Realm.
Even when placed among second-rate forces, there are few peers who can rival him.
And Jiang Xu and Yu Wenxuan also had conflicts with each other because of the bad relationship between the two factions, treating each other as enemies.
"Senior brother…" A disciple from the Mysterious Sword Gate couldn’t bear it and wanted to refute something.
"Don’t pay attention to them!"
Yu Wenxuan stopped this disciple and led everyone back to Ji Tianfu’s side.
"What is that kid Su Yi up to?"
Ji Tianfu’s gaze shifted towards the teenager who had already communicated with Xi Wuqing and others and then returned to the arena, filled with doubts in his mind.
The Mysterious Sword Gate surrendered directly and it was also done by Su Yi.
Ji Tianfu didn’t think much about it and had no resistance in his heart.
Anyway, judging from the situation, it was indeed difficult for the Mysterious Sword Gate to hold onto the arena, so it would be better to simply surrender and avoid any casualties among their disciples.
And what puzzled Ji Tianfu the most was Su Yi giving up the tenth platform.
Faintly, Ji Tianfu felt that Su Yi’s thoughts must not be that simple. With that boy’s personality, he wouldn’t do anything disadvantageous.
So, instead of feeling any uneasiness, he even started to look forward to it.
Ji Tianfu really wanted to see what tricks that boy could still come up with at this point.
"Young Sect Leader, what is the medicine that the Overlord Sect is selling in their gourd?"
The Green Dark Sect finally started to pay attention to the change in ownership of the tenth platform. They scratched their heads, unable to understand why the Overlord Sect, which had already successfully obtained a spot, suddenly gave up.
