Chapter 164: Change In The Situation

“I’m not saying that they are lying to you. It’s just that this team might have hidden too much of their strength in the previous competition. It was too easy for them to deal with their opponents, so no one had any impression of them, so they didn’t have much of an existence.”

“But if you look down on the other party because of this, then I can only say that the one who is truly ignorant and incompetent is you!”

Fang Yuan’s words were not exaggerated at all. On the contrary, every word he said came from his own heart!

“Ah, do I really have to do this? Senior, can I not read? I… oh right, I just broke through last night, I can’t read now! Seeing them makes me dizzy!”

Hearing this, Gu Tianqing frowned and said to Fang Yuan with a bitter face as if he was begging for mercy.

Fang Yuan’s lips curled up. This was ridiculous. How could he find such a reason?

“That’s fine too, but you have to accompany me with something…”

While Gu Tianqing was overjoyed, Fang Yuan quickly said, “I just broke through too. Come and practice with me tonight!”

Fang Yuan added.

“Ah? I-I don’t want to!”

“Senior, I will go back and watch, I will watch those videos later!”

Ignoring the others around him, Fang Yuan silently looked at those flashy people standing opposite him.

They did not look powerful at all, but their strength was terrifying!

If the Gu Immortal Sect lost this competition because they looked down on them, Fang Yuan would not be able to answer to his master, Gu Zhenren, let alone the other members of the sect!

Forget it, forget it, when the competition starts, I’ll form a group with Senior Wan Qian, and I can scout for the others, otherwise, they would not be able to see the enemy’s strength even if they went up against them.

By then, it would be hard to accept!

Fang Yuan made his decision and immediately acted.

“Senior, are you ready?”

Fang Yuan went to Wan Qian’s side and asked. Because it was such a public place, he was afraid of being misunderstood by others, especially since Fang Yuan’s strength was not enough to resist the strength of the higher-ups of other sects, therefore, Fang Yuan did not openly stay with Wan Qian.

“Yes, what’s wrong? Are we going to fight in the first round?” Wan Qian asked gently.

“Yes, I’m afraid that if the others go up, they won’t be able to see their real strength and will be knocked off the stage. The gains won’t make up for the losses. The two of us will go up first so that the others can see the strength of the opponents clearly.”

“I reckon that the opponents won’t send out their strongest in the first round either. The two of us can just take two points first and lay the foundation!” Fang Yuan said to Wan Qian with a clear mind.

“Mm, okay, Junior, I will listen to you!” Wan Qian was unexpectedly straightforward today. Fang Yuan felt Wan Qian’s dependence on him, and while he felt sweet in his heart, he did not show it on the surface.

…

“Yan Shen Empire, year 72 of Tuo Yuan, the second stage of the Gu Dao convention has officially begun!”

“Disciples of all sects, go to the corresponding competition stage and take your positions immediately!”

Tuo Yuan was the current year name of the Yan Shen Empire’s emperor, Emperor Tuo Yuan. Because of his wisdom and strength, it was already the 72nd year since he ascended the throne!

According to the year and the time he had been in charge of the government, after so many years of guidance, it could only be said that his governance was superb, and there was no chaos under his rule.

Fang Yuan’s mind could not help but flash through all this information.

He had already walked out of the Gu Immortal Sect’s resting area with Wan Qian, and the two of them stepped onto the stage at the same time.

Under the instructions of the judge beside them, Fang Yuan and Wan Qian walked to the center of the competition area, standing face to face with the competitors from the opposite sect.

“Gu Immortal Sect, against, Shadowless Sect, the first round starts now!”

After the judge gave a series of introductions, the competition started.

Fang Yuan and Wan Qian stepped back immediately because from the video of the previous match, the first person sent out by the opponent was the guy who was good at using poison path Gu worms!

Although Fang Yuan had the Golden Silkworm Gu and was not afraid of such poison path Gu worms, Wan Qian could not handle it…

Especially when the match was still two-on-two!

They should preserve their strength first. As for defeating them, Fang Yuan had his own ideas!

“Heh, you run quite fast!”

“You guys who live in the center of the empire have never seen a real battlefield!”

“Big Brother, if you tell them this, they might think that we are deliberately trying to break their spirits. Yes, it is the thing they often talk about, fighting spirit!”

“Hmph, he does not have much ability, he has quite a lot of demands, if such a person were to come to us, he would not even know how he died!”

The two on the other side looked at Wan Qian and Fang Yuan stepping back, and they just stood there and mocked them.

Their extravagant clothes and arrogant words had clearly angered the audience. Someone shouted, “Hey, Gu Immortal Sect, beat these people up!”

“That’s right, they actually dare to look down on us, what, do they think that none of us from central area have been to the battlefield before?”

“Teach them a lesson!”

Because in a competition like the Gu Dao convention, during the second stage, because the strength of the participants was already significantly higher, the information of all the teams were displayed on a few large screens.

Those were broadcast screens made up of four screens, each one controlled by a specialized Gu Dao expert, and to achieve such an effect, Fang Yuan knew that there were many Gu worm options.

And taking into account the Yan Shen Empire’s geographical location, as well as the unique climate, Fang Yuan felt that it was more likely to be Mirror Lake Gu!

Hearing the shouts of the audience, Fang Yuan took a look and no longer paid attention. The audience could just casually saying things on a whim.

However, as a contestant, he had to consider more than that!

Fang Yuan gave Wan Qian a look, indicating for the two of them to attack separately.

Wan Qian immediately understood and the two of them instantly flew out like two arrows that had left the bow.

The two people opposite them seemed to be shocked at this time and rushed up to the two of them at the same time. They were even a little uncoordinated due to the lack of time…

The spectators were already cheering. They were so happy as if they had already seen the result!

At this moment, Fang Yuan’s heart sank when he saw the situation through his True Sight Gu!

The situation on the stage had changed!

The opponent he had set his sights on previously had suddenly changed his position at this moment. He chose to attack Wan Qian!
