One person stood up and asked. Another person also asked in a loud voice, "Also, everyone knows that you have to pick the weakest persimmon. What if everyone picks the same opponent and there's a conflict?"
"It's simple. If an escort agency is being challenged, they can't refuse the challenge until they've used up their two challenge rights. If more than one agency challenges one agency at the same time, then the agency being challenged can pick the opponent." Boundless Sea replied.
With that said, everyone no longer had any doubts. Instead, their faces were filled with wariness. At the same time, they were secretly sizing up the other escort agencies, calculating their next course of action in their hearts.
In this final round, the strength of the agency was important, but there was one more important thing: picking the opponent. This was the key to victory. There was no room for negligence.
Just as everyone was rubbing their palms together, thinking that the match was about to begin, Boundless Sea suddenly added another rule. It was the same rule he had mentioned to Cheng Haonan and the others last night.
While everyone was busy digesting this new rule, the four referees sitting on the high platform were confused and puzzled.
This challenge rule wasn't part of the discussion. They hadn't even heard of it. They hadn't expected Boundless Sea to suddenly do this. He was clearly going to act first and report later!
With this, everyone thought that this was the result of the referees' discussion. If they stood up and questioned it, not only would they be publicly slapping their faces, they would also offend Boundless Sea and the Four Seas Escort Agency. They might even have to bear the consequences. If the competition went out of control because of this, no one could take the risk.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bufan and the others had ugly expressions, but they endured it. After all, this additional challenge rule didn't really hurt them. Instead, it might be an opportunity.
Apart from the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, the other five major escort agencies, including the Four Seas Escort Agency, did not have any Golden Core Stage executives at all. They were all traditional wealthy families, and a Golden Core Stage's strength could only be considered average among the escort agencies, perhaps even below average. If they could not even convince the masses, how could they possibly become executives like the head of an escort agency?
As a result, with Boundless Sea's new challenge rule, as long as they weren't stupid, there was no chance of them losing points. On the contrary, if he could find a pushover, he would be able to earn some extra points. In other words, he would be the beneficiary right from the start, so why not?
Among the crowd, only Qi Mingyuan's expression changed when he heard this. The other five major escort agencies did not have any Golden Core cultivators, but his Heaven's Equal Escort Agency did!
Boundless Sea suddenly did this. Qi Mingyuan would be too slow if he couldn't even smell a conspiracy. In fact, the first thought that popped up in his mind was that this was a plot against the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency!
It would be fine if the number of challenges was directly limited. But the problem was that Boundless Sea had clearly said that any participant could issue a challenge. There was no limit to the number of times.
His intentions were sinister. It was obvious!
Qi Wenhan and Lin Yi were the only two people in the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency who could accept the challenge, even with their strength. Given their strength, there shouldn't be many who could match them in the Golden Core stage, but even a tiger couldn't stand up to a pack of wolves. Their qi would eventually run out. They were confident in winning the first two or three matches, but what about after that?
Unlimited challenges. If they really did it this way, as long as these two people were exhausted, the other escort agencies that were eyeing them covetously could challenge them endlessly until the end of the conference. It wouldn't matter if they fought for an entire day.
As long as they didn't kill both of them, the other escort agencies could continue to challenge them and grind points on them. No matter how big the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency's previous advantage was, this little bit of points wouldn't be enough to compensate them …
If Qi Mingyuan on stage could think of this, then Qi Wenhan would naturally be able to think of it as well. Furthermore, he was a hundred percent sure that this plot was not directed at him, but at Ling Yi!
The tallest tree in the forest was the first to be destroyed by the wind. Previously, Ling Yi had been in the limelight completely by relying on his own strength to turn the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency into a super dark horse and trample the Four Seas Escort Agency underfoot. Boundless Sea had long since flown into a rage out of humiliation. Now that he suddenly made this move, who else could it be other than Ling Yi?
"This guy says that he's fair and just, but this challenge rule is clearly aimed at us. He wants to use a tag-team battle to tire us out. Since we can't win fair and square, he's using this kind of underhanded method. Too sinister!" Qi Wenhan couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Qi Wenhan didn't know that in the other side's eyes, there wasn't even a need for a tag-team battle. Wu Bao Liang alone was enough to take care of him and Ling Yi. As long as one of them was left alive, they could grind points however they wanted. No one could stop them!
"Looking at the judges' expressions, this rule was probably added by Boundless Sea himself. This guy is a bit too unscrupulous." Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. Disregarding everything else, this was filled with the smell of a conspiracy. The feeling of being maliciously targeted really didn't sit well with him.
"Yeah, such a big thing, why didn't Old Dad say anything?" Qi Wenhan muttered.
Before he finished speaking, Qi Mingyuan suddenly stood up on the stage. He was one of the five judges, after all. Facing such a malicious rule, how could he not retaliate? He, Qi Mingyuan, wasn't a turtle hiding in its shell.
"Head Escort Hai, this challenge rule for the head of an escort agency seems to be incomplete. It needs to be amended," Qi Mingyuan said after clearing his throat.
The entire crowd was in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. In the past, the ones who had asked this question were the people in charge of the escort agencies. Why was it Qi Mingyuan's turn this time? He was one of the people who had set the rules. There was no way he didn't know, right?
For a moment, everyone's gazes turned thoughtful. The smart ones had already realized that there was something fishy about this.
"Oh? What do you think, Head Escort Qi? " Boundless Sea raised his eyebrows. He was sure that Qi Mingyuan wouldn't be willing to suffer a loss. He would definitely retaliate. However, he had already prepared an excuse, so he wasn't worried at all.
