Lin Yi said he was going to train Ziyu for two days, but it wasn't even two days and it was already time to draw lots. Didn't that mean that they'd forfeit and be eliminated?
"But it's too late now, right? Man, we've miscalculated … "Yu Bing frowned. They should've realized this a long time ago, but because they trusted Lin Yi too much, they thought that something like this would be within Lin Yi's calculations. They forgot that the timing wasn't controllable, and even Lin Yi couldn't have predicted that it would be the foundation establishment group's turn so soon.
"No matter what, I'll go find boss and the others now. As long as I don't get the first match, it should be fine. My luck shouldn't be that bad, right?" Chentian left.
But before he could take two steps, Xin Yijie announced, "Foundation establishment early phase, first match, common world Ying Ziyu against Snow Sword Sect's Luo Shasheng."
"Huh? What's going on? " Chentian almost fell flat on his face, and Lingshan and the others all had a pained expression on their faces. What should they do?
At this time, Luo Shasheng was already walking onto the stage with a ferocious aura, looking at Lingshan and the others with a vicious smile.
He'd lost to Lingshan's miraculous counterattack in the first round, and Lingshan's attack had indeed hit his vitals, but it wasn't that heavy. Luo Shasheng had already recovered by the time the second round started, and he didn't meet anyone from Lin Yi's group in the next three rounds.
Among all the foundation establishment disciples from the Archaic Alliance, Luo Shasheng's strength wasn't top notch, but he was still a disciple of the Snow Sword Sect who could control the snow aspect. His strength wasn't to be underestimated, and as long as his luck wasn't too bad, he could beat most of his opponents.
But perhaps because of Lingshan, Luo Shasheng's strength had recovered, but his condition was affected quite a bit. He won one and lost one in the next two rounds, and while he wasn't directly eliminated, he had one foot on the edge of a cliff. There was no going back now.
"What a coincidence. It's a shame that it's not Lingshan, but at least it gives me a chance to get my revenge. I can't wait." Luo Shasheng looked at Lingshan, a little regretful. He couldn't accept losing to Lingshan like that in the first round, and he'd been dreaming of meeting Lingshan again in the next few rounds, but he didn't have the chance. He could only vent his anger on Ziyu now.
Lingshan and the others glared at him furiously. If it weren't for the tournament, they'd definitely teach this guy a lesson. If it weren't for Lingshan going easy on him last time, he'd be a dead man by now! How dare he talk big like that!?!?!
That was what he said, but it'd be a lie to say that he wasn't worried at all. With Ziyu's performance in the last few fights, this Luo Shesheng wouldn't stand a chance against her, especially since this guy had a grudge in his heart. He wouldn't let Ziyu give up so easily.
"The tournament begins. Disciples, please enter the stage." Xin Yijie saw that Ziyu wasn't entering the stage, so he turned around to urge her, but he didn't see her anywhere. He'd been interacting with Lingshan's group for the past few months, and he could still recognize her. He blinked, "Where's Ying Ziyu?"
Under normal circumstances, all the disciples would wait at the side, no matter if it was time to go up or not. Even if they won all three fights and got the right to go up early, other than the heavily injured ones, most of them would stay here to watch the others fight. This was the first time someone like Ying Ziyu, who was clearly uninjured, had disappeared.
"Um …" Lingshan and the others looked at each other, "She's going back for a bit, but she'll be back soon. Please wait for a bit."
"Then … Alright." Xin Yijie nodded- this might not work if it was someone else, but Ziyu was Lin Yi's follower. She was his senior master, after all, and he had to give her some face.
Luo Shaisheng snorted discontentedly, but he dared not say anything more. He was not a big shot like Xue Jianfeng. He was merely a disciple in the early stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. How would he dare to put on airs in front of Xin Yijie, a Gold Core Stage Master Uncle? Therefore, he could only endure it.
Lingshan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sending Chentian to inform Lin Yi and Ying Ziyu. However, this place was quite far from the Blue Cloud Sect's island, and they had to row a boat. They wouldn't be able to get there without two incense sticks' worth of time. Even Xin Yijie wouldn't be able to waste this much time, so he had to try his best.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the other disciples of the Archaic Alliance were getting impatient. If it was a big shot like Lin Yi who made them wait for so long, it would be understandable. However, it was just a weak little girl. Xin Yijie, as the leader of the team and the judge, was being so biased. Wasn't he being too selfish?
"Master Xin, we've waited long enough, right? If she doesn't come, are we supposed to keep waiting like this?" Luo Shesheng finally asked.
"Yeah, according to the rules, anyone who doesn't show up on time forfeits. Waiting for an incense stick's worth of time is the limit. The flowers will wilt if we wait any longer," the others all agreed.
"That's …" Xin Yijie looked at Lingshan and the others, troubled. From his perspective, he had tried his best, and he could only give a helpless expression. "Since that's the case, then I'll announce that Ziyu has been late for too long, and will forfeit …"
Before he could finish, Ziyu's voice came from not far away. "Sorry, I'm late."
"That's great!" Seeing Lin Yi and Ziyu appear together, Lingshan and the others let out a breath of relief. Even Xin Yijie was the same. Only Luo Shesheng was a little disappointed.
He wanted to use this chance to vent his anger on Ziyu, but in comparison, the test was more important. If he could win without any effort, then he'd be able to maintain his peak condition for the fifth round, and he'd have a much higher chance of entering the test.
"I'll be going then!" Ziyu was no longer as nervous as before, smiling confidently as she raised her hand to Lin Yi.
"Okay, good luck." Lin Yi high-fived her.
