"If the lot drawing process can be guaranteed to be fair and no one tampered with the results, then it sounds reasonable. Everyone will rely on their own strength and luck. There's nothing much to say."
Qi Wenhan stared blankly.
He had thought that since this challenge was aimed at his own escort agency, it would be as shameless as possible. He didn't think that this rule would sound so righteous and irresponsible.
Qi Wenhan was most worried about his own escort agency being ganged up on. Taking turns to wear them down was something even an immortal made of steel wouldn't be able to handle.
However, Boundless Sea's rule basically eliminated the possibility of taking turns to wear them down, unless someone won against him or Ling One and kept challenging them.
But this way, the other side would also be fighting continuously. Both sides would be on the same starting line. Who would emerge as the victor would be decided by their fists.
"Brother Qi, do the other escort agencies also have Golden Core stage executives?" Lin Yi wasn't so optimistic and suddenly asked.
"This …" Qi Wenhan was at a loss for words. The little bit of joy and excitement he felt from winning the fifth round of the Escort Agency Tournament vanished in an instant. With an ugly expression, he said, "I don't know the specifics, but it shouldn't be much."
"Looks like it. Boundless Sea was probably aiming for this from the start." Lin Yi glanced at the nearby Boundless Sea. At the same time, he glanced at Cheng Haonan's group of three, who were giving him strange looks. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that these two groups had some sort of connection.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any connection between the two groups. However, Lin Yi's intuition had always been accurate. He could see some clues from their expressions.
A moment later. The judging panel picked out the names of all the Golden Core stage executives from the escort agencies and announced it to the public!
Sure enough, out of all thirty-two escort agencies, only twelve of them had Gold Core Stage executives, which was less than half of them.
Even though the audience had some idea, they were still shocked when they saw this number.
Among the twelve escort agencies, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was the most eye-catching. The young master Qi Wenhan and honorary escort head Ling One were both on the list! Apart from the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. The other five major escort agencies, including the newly established Black Eagle Escort Agency, were not on the list.
The remaining eleven escort agencies were mostly middling escort agencies. They were neither too strong nor too weak. The Dragon Boat Escort Agency was also one of them.
This kind of situation was not difficult to understand. There were many experts among those powerful escort agencies, and it was possible that any ordinary escort had the strength of the late Gold Core stage and above. This was especially so for the Four Seas Escort Agency and the Black Eagle Escort Agency. The number of Golden Core Paragon Experts they had was more than enough to count with two hands. As the higher-ups, if they didn't even have the strength of the Original Infant Stage, how could they convince the masses?
As for the weaker escort agencies, they were small in scale and didn't have positions such as Young Head of Escort, Deputy Head of Escort, Elder, Military Advisor, and the like. There was no need to set up such positions at all, as it would only result in the decentralization of power!
Under normal circumstances, a small escort agency would have at most one or two other escorts in addition to the chief escort. There were no other senior executives.
Although the South Continent Escort Agency Festival was a big event, and most of the escort agencies had sent out their elites, it was impossible for them to leave no one behind. At least one escort would be left behind to take care of the rear. As a result, in the list of escorts reported by most of the smaller escort agencies, there was only the chief escort leading the team. It was like a commander without an army.
Since he was the chief escort of an escort agency, he couldn't be an expert at the Golden Core stage. Nascent Soul stage was the minimum requirement, so he naturally wasn't on the list.
Moreover. There were some escort agencies that were special, but like the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, they had a young escort. Their strength was most likely at the Golden Core stage, but the problem was that most of them were guarding the rear. They couldn't send people all the way here at the last minute, could they?
That wasn't realistic. Even if these escort agencies agreed, the festival couldn't wait that long.
There weren't any first-rate escort agencies, nor any low-end escort agencies. The most likely ones to have Golden Core higher-ups were those middling escort agencies. The Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was the only exception.
This was Boundless Sea's original intention in proposing this challenge!
By proposing this rule, an escort agency like the Four Seas Escort Agency, which didn't have any Golden Core higher-ups, was naturally invincible! They were the only ones who could challenge others, while others couldn't do anything to them. They could attack or retreat as they pleased.
On the contrary, the twelve escort agencies, including the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, had become the real prey! As long as they were interested, they could pounce and take a bite. If it wasn't enough, they could take a second bite, or a third bite.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had the strength to do so. If they weren't strong enough, not only would they not be able to take a bite out of the prey, but they would also be kicked half to death.
Qi Wenhan frowned. Although the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined, it wasn't much better either. Among the twelve prey on the list, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was not only the strongest, but also the one that attracted the most attention. It was almost certain that they would be targeted by others.
However, Lin Yi didn't seem worried at all. Even though he knew that this so-called escort agency leader challenge was aimed at him, he didn't take it to heart. The only thing he cared about was whether he had a chance to kill Wu Bao Liang.
"Fortunately, he didn't disappoint me." Lin Yi looked at Wu Bao Liang's name on the public list and couldn't help but smile.
The conference was about to end, but he still couldn't get a chance to fight Wu Bao Liang. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't anxious at all. After all, who was willing to waste time in the South Continent for Wu Bao Liang?
But now, this additional challenge would make him the target of everyone, but at the same time, it gave him a chance to challenge Wu Bao Liang. In comparison, Lin Yi felt that it was a good deal.
Anyway, with his current strength, he was absolutely invincible in the Golden Core Stage. No matter how many people came to challenge him, they would just be giving away points. It was not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing that Lin Yi was so calm, Qi Wenhan couldn't help but be speechless. He admired Lin Yi's strength, but he didn't know how strong Lin Yi was. In the face of such a situation, it was impossible for him not to panic. However, even if he panicked, it was useless.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the escort agency leader challenge officially began. The first thing to do was to draw lots.
Five judges supervised together, and there were countless pairs of eyes watching from below the stage to ensure that no one could cheat! (To be continued)
