The 32 escorts went up on stage to draw lots according to their current rankings to decide who the first challenger would go to.
In order to ensure as much fairness as possible, this time's lots were not drawn openly, but in secret. The people in charge of the escort agencies who went up on stage to draw lots didn't know what the lots meant even if they got their hands on them. They could only wait until all the lots were drawn and the judges announced the labels before they could know the results.
As a result, even if they were the last to draw lots, no one had any objections. After all, being the first and being the last was the same.
What surprised Lin Yi and Qi Wenhan was that Boundless Sea didn't seem to have any intention of tampering with the lots.
Although it was indeed difficult to carry out under-the-table operations under the noses of so many people, it should not really be a problem for this self-proclaimed overlord of the South Continent's escort agency, right?
Whether it was the process of drawing lots or the result of the drawing, everything seemed normal. It was just a very pure drawing of lots. It was fair.
In the end, the 32 escorts raised their lots high up in the air. Boundless Sea announced the results on behalf of the judges. Everyone's eyes focused on an old man in green.
This person was called Fang Heng, the head escort of the Blackwater Escort Agency.
In terms of experience, he could be considered a veteran of the South Continent Escort Agency Alliance! He was one of the veterans when the alliance was first established. However, compared to his solid experience, the Blackwater Escort Agency's strength couldn't be put on the stage. Even if they weren't at the bottom, they were at most below average. They had never even entered the top 15. They had nothing to do with being strong.
No one expected that the first challenger would fall into the hands of the Blackwater Escort Agency. They didn't know how this Head Escort Fang would choose.
Even though winning the first challenger meant winning the first chance to eat meat, in most people's eyes, the Blackwater Escort Agency didn't have the strength to eat meat. If they challenged someone else, they might just be giving up points for nothing.
The safest choice was to not challenge anyone. In any case, their escort agency didn't have any Golden Core experts, so they could sit back and relax. Right now, they were ranked 18th. This result wasn't bad for the Blackwater Escort Agency. As long as they maintained their stability, they would win.
On the other hand, if the Blackwater Escort Agency couldn't restrain their ambition and chose to challenge someone else, then it would be very likely that they would end up being eliminated.
Under the gaze of the audience. Fang Heng cleared his throat, stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "My Black Water Escort Agency has decided to challenge the Dragon Boat Escort Agency!"
As he spoke, Fang Heng glanced at Cheng Haonan and the others, and a bone-deep hatred flashed through his eyes.
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Challenging the Dragon Boat Escort Agency? Was this Chief Escort Fang crazy?
Although the Dragon Boat Escort Agency wasn't a big escort agency and didn't have any outstanding performances in the past, at least in terms of performance in this year's conference, they were definitely not weak. Now that he was ranked eighth, he could be considered to be worthy of praise.
If the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency and the Dark Eagle Escort Agency hadn't attracted everyone's attention, the Dragon Boat Escort Agency would have been in the limelight as well. The Black Water Escort Agency wouldn't have been able to compete with them.
"Hehe. I didn't expect this Old Escort Fang to be so old and so hot-tempered. He's preparing to take this opportunity to take revenge! "Someone in the crowd laughed.
"That's not surprising. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to swallow it. In the first round of the escort battle, the Dragon Boat Escort Agency killed all five of their elite escorts. For the Black Water Escort Agency, this is a huge blow! "Someone who knew the situation explained.
"The competition has always been this cruel. What's there to be surprised about? Since they can't afford to lose, they shouldn't have come! " Then just don't come! "Someone snorted disdainfully.
"That's right. With the Black Water Escort Agency's meager strength, they're now taking the initiative to challenge the Dragon Boat Escort Agency. Isn't it obvious that they want to be trampled on again? Is this old man stupid? "Someone laughed coldly and echoed.
"Tsk tsk, this time the Black Water Escort Agency is really in danger …" The bystanders nodded one after another.
Discussions rose one after another. There were those who mocked and ridiculed, those who sympathized with the Black Water Escort Agency, those who took pleasure in the Black Water Escort Agency's misfortune, and those who coldly watched from the sidelines. In short, there was no such thing as making a scene. Ninety-nine percent of the people present didn't think the Black Water Escort Agency would win.
Listening to these discussions, Fang Heng's expression was as cold as water.
In the first round of the escort battle, because of the Dragon Boat Escort Agency's ruthlessness, the entire Black Water Escort Agency's vitality was greatly damaged. They lost more than half of the few experts they had. They were absolutely irreconcilable enemies. How could he swallow this resentment?
This time, he had decided to throw caution to the wind. It didn't matter how many points he had. It was a rare opportunity. The only thing on his mind now was revenge.
Although Fang Heng was a little impulsive, he was a veteran of Jianghu in South Continent. He wasn't stupid at all. This challenge by the helmsman of the escort agency was really a rare opportunity for revenge.
If it was like the five-on-five escort agency competition just now, which tested the overall strength of the entire escort agency, then the Black Water Escort Agency naturally wouldn't be a match for the Dragon Boat Escort Agency. But now it was one-on-one, so it was a different story.
Fang Heng pulled over the last elite escort of the Black Water Escort Agency — an expert at the Peak of the Gold Core Realm. He excitedly and nervously exhorted him for a long time before finally watching him walk onto the arena. Whether or not he could avenge himself, success or failure depended on this one move.
Looking at the challenger of the Black Water Escort Agency on the arena, Cheng Haonan, Long Kuiba, and Wu Bao Liang looked at each other and immediately sneered.
From the beginning to the end, they didn't put the Black Water Escort Agency in their eyes at all. They easily killed their opponents. It was like this in the first round, and naturally, it would be no exception now.
The three of them were still worried about how to snatch the right to challenge. They didn't expect the Black Water Escort Agency to deliver the opportunity to them in the blink of an eye. Heaven was really on their side!
"Gentlemen, who do you think is better for us to send?" Long Kuiba immediately asked.
He was an expert at the Original Infant Stage, so naturally, he wasn't among the challengers. However, Cheng Haonan and Wu Bao Liang were both at the Peak of the Gold Core Realm. Moreover, they were on the list of higher-ups reported by the Dragon Boat Escort Agency. Cheng Haonan was the Second Escort Leader, and Wu Bao Liang was the Military Advisor.
Of course, although the challenger sent by the Black Water Escort Agency was an expert at the Peak of the Gold Core Realm, the three of them didn't put him in their eyes at all. Whether it was Cheng Haonan or Wu Bao Liang, it would be like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife and making a big fuss over a minor issue!
Any elite escort from the Dragon Boat Escort Agency would be enough to solve the problem, but the rules didn't allow it!
"Although this kind of trash isn't worth mentioning, we must obtain the right to challenge this time. We can't afford to lose. Whether it's you or me, we can't underestimate our opponents!" Wu Bao Liang and Cheng Haonan looked at each other and said. (To be continued …)
