From this, one could see that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's current lead in the leaderboard was due to their true strength, and not some so-called luck.
As a matter of fact, there was no logic to the argument of dogsh * t luck. It was not the first time that the South Continent Escort Agency Gala had been held, and the intensity and cruelty of the competition had long exceeded the level of an ordinary competition. Under such circumstances, if a weak escort agency could emerge and laugh all the way to the end purely by sheer luck, was it possible?
If that really happened, it could only mean that the 32 South Continent's escort agencies were all fake goods, and none of them were truly wealthy. Otherwise, if there was a truly powerful escort agency, they would not have allowed a clown to take first place. That would be a disgrace to the entire South Continent's Escort Agency Alliance.
Accompanied by a wave of heavy sounds of the gong, the fifth round of the Escort Agency Competition finally came to an end. After this round of the law of the jungle, the situation on the scoreboard had become even more clear and obvious.
The first place on the leaderboard was, without a doubt, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, which had surpassed all the other escort agencies behind it with a ridiculously high score of 1070 points!
After eliminating the Black Eagle Escort Agency with much difficulty, Qi Wenhan still held the precious right to initiate two challenges in his hands. Naturally, he would not let it go to waste for no reason. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to make a move on the two middle-ranked escort agencies. Without any surprises or danger, he obtained two hundred points. Only then did his points reach the staggering four-digit number of Long Feng Wenxue.
In fact, after witnessing the Black Eagle Agency trampling over the Four Seas Escort Agency, Qi Wenhan had thought of adding insult to injury. However, after the previous perilous experience, his father, Qi Mingyuan, was afraid that something might go wrong, and was determined not to let him fight personally.
The series of fierce battles had already exhausted much of his strength. If Qi Wenhan did not fight personally, it would be difficult for him to win against the flustered and exasperated Four Seas Escort Agency. Even if they had Lin Yi as their coach, it would not be enough unless Lin Yi personally fought.
However, that was impossible. After all, there was still another round of challenges for the leader of the escort agency. Lin Yi was in the eye of the storm, and so many people were eyeing him with malicious intent.
The Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was followed by the Divine Wind Escort Agency and the Great Sky Escort Agency. These two veteran escort agencies were ranked second and third respectively. The Dark Eagle Escort Agency, which had recently gained strength, was right behind them. He was ranked fourth.
As for the ambitious Four Seas Escort Agency, the publicly acknowledged tyrant of South Continent's escort agencies, they had no choice but to face the awkward situation of being in fifth place. Even with Boundless Sea's thick skin, when someone's gaze swept over him, even if it was just a casual glance, he would feel a burning sensation and be too embarrassed to face anyone.
All of this was caused by Ling Yi and the Equal Heaven Escort Agency!
Boundless Sea's heart bled. He gritted his teeth and cursed viciously. Other than that, there was nothing else he could do. He could only hope that the upcoming 'good show' would go as he wished. At the same time that he killed Ling Yi and the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, his Four Seas Escort Agency would be able to snatch back the limelight and continue to be the overlord of the escort agencies.
Although the Four Seas Escort Agency was in an awkward situation, in comparison. Being able to barely get on the last train of the Five Great Escort Agency meant that they were able to keep their last shred of shame. The truly pitiful one was the South Gate Escort Agency.
Previously, it had been one of the Five Great Escort Agency. But now, after five rounds of competition, they were ranked sixth. They had been forced out of the ranks of the Five Great Escort Agency, instantly losing the halo of a powerhouse and becoming a second-rate escort agency. They couldn't even cry.
According to this ranking, it could be foreseen that the future structure of the South Continent Escort Agency Alliance would undergo a huge change. Among this change, only two escort agencies would be the true winners. One was the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, and the other was the Dark Eagle Escort Agency.
Among them, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's gains were the most exaggerated. This could be seen from the way the managers looked at the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. Many of these people were clients of the traditional powerhouses of the Four Seas Escort Agency. However, it looked like they would soon become history.
If everything went according to plan, after the South Continent Escort Agency Grand Meet, the huge orders placed on the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's head would undoubtedly reach an astronomical figure. It would be at least a few times more than the previous years, perhaps even dozens of times more!
The more orders there were, the more spiritual jades there would be. The more spiritual jades there were, the more powerful escorts they would be able to recruit, rapidly increase their strength, and obtain more orders. This was a snowball effect. Once things got on the right track, no one would be able to stop the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency from rising.
However, before that, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency had to overcome another hurdle — the upcoming challenge of the agency's helmsman.
Just like the fifth round of the Escort Agency Grand Meet, this was also a duel in which each agency had to bet a hundred points. The only difference was that this was a one-on-one challenge specifically targeted at the Golden Core Stage executives of each agency. Moreover, there was no limit to the number of challenges!
This sort of competition did not test the agency's overall strength. Instead, it was entirely dependent on the individual's performance. Luck played a huge part. If an agency was unlucky enough to be challenged by the experts of other agencies, the slightest mistake could lead to the agency's collapse. One hundred points per battle, and there was no limit to the number of challenges. No matter how many points they had, they would not be able to afford to lose.
Although the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's current four-digit points were daunting, it was hard to say if they could safely survive the next round. Perhaps they would fall from the clouds into the abyss. One moment, they were at the peak of their power, but the next moment, they would be nothing more than a flash in the pan.
As long as the dust hadn't truly settled, there were still variables. Even though the top five escort agencies were obvious on the leaderboard, because of the extra segment at the end, even the 'losers' like the South Gate Escort Agency still had a chance of making it to the top five.
Who would be ranked among the top five agencies and who would have the last laugh? Everything was still up in the air.
"Alright, on behalf of the judging panel, I will now announce the rules for the final challenge of the agency's helmsman." Boundless Sea suppressed the hatred in his heart and stood up to announce to the crowd, "The rules are very simple. The first challenger will be decided by drawing lots. He can challenge any Golden Core Stage executive of any agency. The winner of each round can choose to continue the challenge. Of course, he can also choose to forfeit. If the winner forfeits, the right to challenge will be transferred to the loser. If the loser chooses to forfeit, then a new lot will be drawn."
The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion. At least on the surface, the rules seemed fair. At the very least, the challenges were not unbridled and completely reckless. (To be continued …)
