"Is there something wrong with the Noon Horse Agency? They lost to us in the first round, and now they're biting us like rabid dogs. They even challenged us. Do they think we're pushovers? "Qi Wenhan said angrily.
He was really a little apprehensive about this erratic Meridian Horse Escort Agency. Although he won the first battle, he paid the price of three lives. It could only be said to be a pyrrhic victory. If they were to fight again, he really did not dare to guarantee that he would win.
In reality, the Noon Horse Agency was a classic example of strength being greater than reputation. Although they had placed eleventh in the last competition, they were definitely in the top ten in terms of strength.
"They're doing this to make a name for themselves. We're just being used as a stepping stone." Lin Yi glanced at the ranking. The Noon Horse Agency had a total of 160 points. It was ranked thirteenth out of all the agencies. Compared to its strength, it was not considered outstanding. It could barely be considered average.
If it continued to develop normally, the Noon Horse Agency's best result would be to just barely squeeze into the top ten. As for becoming one of the top five agencies, that was pure wishful thinking.
They had strength, but their points were not ideal. Seeing that there weren't many opportunities left, they might as well challenge the highly anticipated Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. This was the fastest way to increase their influence!
"Stepping stone? How dare they! " Qi Wenhan became even more furious. The Noon Horse Escort Agency was like a scar in his eyes. Every time he thought about how they had won the first round, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. His shame turned into anger, especially since the other party had climbed all over him and used his Heaven's Equal Escort Agency as a stepping stone!
"Brother Qi, there's no need to be angry. From their point of view, it's not wrong to think that way. First, although our points are high, we're just a dark horse in everyone's eyes. Our strength hasn't been truly recognized. Second, our performance in the first round may have made them feel that our strength is just so-so." That's all there is to it. "Lin Yi smiled indifferently.
"Hmph! Those snobbish bastards! " Qi Wenhan snorted coldly, unable to speak. Who told him to not perform well in the first round, giving the other party a chance to take advantage of him?
However, being angry was just being angry. When he really had to face this Noon Horse Escort Agency, Qi Wenhan was still a little afraid. It was like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body, making people unable to bite it. Qi Wenhan did not have the slightest intention to challenge it, but now the other party was taking advantage of him. Instead, they had taken the initiative to stick to him. There was no way to avoid them.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to think about anything else. This battle is of utmost importance. As long as we do well, it'll be enough to serve as a deterrent to the other escort agencies, preventing them from acting rashly. However, if we make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable," Lin Yi said solemnly to everyone.
Everyone nodded. His Heaven's Equal Escort Agency had been in the limelight for the past four rounds of the competition. However, they did not have a strong record of fighting head-on battles. There were probably many people who were secretly dissatisfied with them, but they did not know what was going on. He just didn't dare to act rashly.
This time, if the Noon Horse Escort Agency managed to create an opening, then in the eyes of the other escort agencies, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, which was at its peak, would no longer be the insufferably arrogant tyrant of the escort agencies. Instead, it was a delicious piece of juicy meat. Any escort agency with the slightest bit of ambition would definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity to make a name for themselves. He would definitely rush up and take a bite.
"Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single day! Brothers of the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency, it's time for you to come in. Just like before, everyone who goes up to fight will be rewarded with fifty thousand spirit jades. Those who are willing to fight, step forward! "Qi Wenhan shouted in encouragement.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. Without hesitation, they stood up and lined up. Everything else aside, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's sincerity towards the escorts under their command was not inferior to any other escort agency. They all had the same thought about fighting for the agency. It was worth it!
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at the scene. There were more than thirty escorts present, and all of them were willing to fight for the agency. This level of morale was incomparable to that of the other escort agencies. Even the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency from two days ago could not compare to this level of morale. It was clear that the cohesiveness of these two days was not insignificant.
"Very good!" This scene was beyond Qi Wenhan's expectations. He was overjoyed and turned to Lin Yi. "Brother Ling, I'll leave the rest to you, including me. Whoever you say will go up. How you say we should fight, we'll fight!"
"Haha, Brother Qi, you can forget about it. If the young master of an escort agency has to fight personally, no matter who wins or loses, others will look down on him." Lin Yi shook his head and laughed. He swept his gaze across the escorts in front of him, and finally picked out five of them.
One Golden Core Paragon, two at the peak of the late Golden Core Realm, and two at the late Golden Core Realm. This was the lineup that Lin Yi had chosen. This level of strength could be considered as the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's first echelon, but it was definitely not the strongest lineup.
Lin Yi was deliberately conserving his strength. This was only the first round of the competition. He could not act like a gambler and go all out. After all, these escorts were not like Lin Yi himself. After a battle, his inner Qi would be almost completely depleted, and he would not be able to recover in a short period of time. He could only rest on the sidelines, unable to continue fighting.
"Will … will this work?" Qi Wenhan asked worriedly in a low voice. In his mind, even a lion would use its full strength to capture a rabbit. Moreover, the other party was from the Horse Escort Agency, and they were not easy targets. If he underestimated them, he could easily lose.
"Regardless of whether it will work or not, I've already chosen them. I can't just change them at the last minute, can I? That's a taboo." Lin Yi looked at him with a playful expression.
"Oh, oh." Only then did Qi Wenhan react. He hurriedly covered his mouth in apology. Before, he had already said that he would leave everything to Lin Yi. If he interjected now, he would be eating his own words. Who did he want everyone to listen to?
At this time, the staff of the convention came over to urge everyone to go up on stage. On the other side, the five participating escorts from the Horse Escort Agency were already valiantly standing on the stage.
"F * ck, they're all men of sacrifice. No wonder this agency is famous for being crazy. Every single one of them is a lunatic!" Qi Wenhan's eyelid twitched as he watched.
The opponent's lineup consisted of one Golden Core Paragon, one at the peak of the late Golden Core Realm, and three at the late Golden Core Realm. In terms of strength, there was not much difference between their side. However, the aura that these five people exuded was clearly written on their faces: they were unafraid of death.
One was a man of sacrifice, and one was an ordinary person. Even if their strength was the same, if they really fought, the man of sacrifice would definitely have a higher chance of winning. This was inevitable!
