"Yes, Young Master Xu, I'm here to report to you." As Yu Zhe spoke, he smiled and looked at Nantian Ba and Nantian Gate playfully.
"Report?" Nantian Ba and Nantian Gate were dumbfounded. Yu Zhe had never interacted with this Young Master Xu before. How did he suddenly become Young Master Xu's underling?
"That's right. You two might not know this, but Yu Zhe is already a member of our center." Xu Lingchong explained to the two, "Furthermore, he's different from you two. He's not just an outer member, he's a special assistant that the mysterious person assigned to me."
"Special assistant?" Nantian Ba and Nantian Gate exchanged glances with each other. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Apart from the shock, their expressions also became extremely interesting.
They had just hugged a thick thigh and thought that they wouldn't have to be afraid of Yu Zhe anymore. They thought that they could borrow Young Master Xu's power to take care of this disgraceful scoundrel. But in the blink of an eye, they had become allies?
What was even more ridiculous was that Yu Zhe's position as a traitor was actually higher than the two of them!
"Since you've already joined the center, don't think about your previous grudges. There's no point in thinking about it. If anyone dares to harm one of our own, I won't forgive them!" Xu Lingchong swept his gaze across the three people in front of him and said calmly. He emitted the aura of a superior and gave off an imposing aura without being angry.
"Yes." Yu Zhe agreed straightforwardly. After all, he had already gotten his revenge in the first round of the individual battles. He had already vented his anger. Furthermore, his strength and future were much stronger than Nantian Ba and the others, so there was nothing to worry about.
Nantian Ba and Nantian Gate looked at each other unwillingly. However, due to Xu Lingchong's tyrannical power, they could only nod in agreement.
They knew that it was impossible to get revenge on Yu Zhe now. Even their uncle, Nantian Aurora, who was far away on the middle island, might not be able to do it.
Nantian Aurora had also joined the center. Furthermore, he was a core member. However, the center couldn't allow him to harm one of their own. They could only continue to suppress their anger for the time being.
"Very good. We don't have any other assignments for now, so make good use of the Inner Court Competition this time and try to obtain as much attention as possible. It's best if you can seize the opportunity to become a disciple of some higher-ups, understand?" Xu Lingchong instructed.
"Yes, but Young Master Xu. Right now, I'm still lacking a partner to fight in pairs. " Yu Zhe replied. He had just returned a few days ago, and he didn't know any Aurous Core stage experts before this, so it was normal that he didn't have a partner at the moment.
"That's simple. Isn't there a ready-made one in front of us? Nan Tianba, you'll partner with Yu Zhe next. If you've already agreed on a partner, kick them out. Our own people are more important. "Xu Lingchong said decisively.
Although Nan Tianba's expression was somewhat conflicted, he did not dare to disobey Xu Lingchong's orders. He could only force himself to put aside his personal grudges and temporarily choose to ally with Yu Zhe. Both of them were competing against each other in the Inner Court Grand Competition. That was why the scene that everyone was confused had occurred today.
While everyone was puzzled, they couldn't help but feel fearful in their hearts when faced with this odd duo. After all, Yu Zhe's performance really couldn't be underestimated, and he absolutely couldn't let his guard down when facing them. Otherwise, he might follow in the footsteps of this pair of peak early-stage Golden Core cultivators.
However. Although the duo of Yu Zhe and Nan Tianba was fearful, to those inner court core disciples who were truly strong, they didn't need to worry too much. The newcomer duo that was about to go up next was the one that they truly needed to be on tenterhooks with, Xu Lingchong and Meng Tong!
Meng Tong was a newcomer who came from the Welcoming Pavilion like Lin Yi. The strength that he had displayed in the individual battles was not the slightest bit weaker than Yu Zhe, and even surpassed him. At least in terms of ranking, he was much better than Yu Zhe, who was blocked out of the top 50 by Lin Yi.
And Xu Lingchong's strong strength was obvious to all. From the first round of the individual battles to the last place, he crushed his opponents without any suspense. Looking at all the Aurous Core stage disciples that participated in this year's Inner Court Grand Competition, there simply wasn't a single opponent that could match up to him.
Originally, everyone thought that Lin Yi, who also had a good reputation, would be a competitor. After all, he also relied on his tyrannical strength to forcefully enter the finals of the individual battles. But reality proved that this pretentious newcomer king was not even worth mentioning in front of the powerful Xu Lingchong.
He didn't even have the courage to fight with Xu Lingchong, what strength was there to talk about? He was just a pretentious leader that only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong!
With a strong aura, Xu Lingchong and Meng Tong slowly walked up to the arena side by side. They were like emperors looking down at the spectators below the arena, the corners of their mouths raised into an incomparably confident smile.
At this time, their opponents had not been drawn yet, but Xu Lingchong already knew who the opponent would be, because he had already informed Xu Yuanzheng that in the first round of the duo battles, he would fight Lin Yi!
In the individual battles before, he deliberately did not meet Lin Yi, and kept it until the finals. Xu Lingchong did it so that he could trample Lin Yi to death in the finals. Only then would it be considered complete. But he did not expect that Lin Yi would be so cunning, directly choosing to admit defeat and not giving him a chance to make a move at all. Lin Yi also obtained 49 points, which made him secretly feel that he had miscalculated!
So this time, he wanted to kill Lin Yi as soon as he came up, not giving Lin Yi any chance. If Lin Yi directly admitted defeat, then there wouldn't be any points for the duo battles, and the loss wouldn't be just one or two points.
As expected, the opponents that were drawn next caused another uproar. It was Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao.
Amidst the clamor, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao walked up to the arena and stood opposite Xu Lingchong and Meng Tong. Their faces were calm and composed. Lin Yi was naturally not afraid of Xu Lingchong and Meng Tong. As for Huang Xiaotao, she was a little nervous at this moment, but she was wearing a veil, so no one could see it.
"Pretentious Rookie King, since you chose to directly admit defeat in the individual battles before, why don't you be a little more tactful and admit defeat together this time?" Xu Lingchong took the lead and laughed coldly.
"In any case, the two of you were defeated by Chongchong and me. Now that you are together, you will only lose faster and more miserably. Since Chongchong is kind enough to give you a way out, you might as well be tactful and directly admit defeat, so that you won't be beaten to tears by the two of us later. That would be too embarrassing, don't you think?" Meng Tong, who was at the side, echoed with a face full of contempt.
