At this moment, the massive Dark Arena was packed with spectators. They all stared at the scene below the stage in disbelief.
The Asura Battle Team had only dispatched five members for this competition.
"What is the Asura Battle Team trying to do?"
"Is the Asura Battle Team trying to achieve another perfect victory?"
"That shouldn't be the case. No matter how foolish the Asura Battle Team is, they should know that their opponent this time isn't the Evil Dragon Battle Team. Instead, they are a battle team led by Miracle Society. Although Miracle Society is only a super-first-rate Guild, it has more experts and strength than even some Super Guilds."
"I'm guessing that they are trying to lose on purpose. Now that the Evil Dragon Battle Team is under Miracle Society's control, the battle team's strength must have undergone an earth-shattering transformation. The Asura Battle Team admits that they are no match for the Evil Dragon Battle Team. Since they are going to lose anyway, they might as well send five members to deal with the first match and preserve their strength for the next match."
…
The spectators in the arena had all sorts of guesses. However, the most common guess was that the Asura Battle Team was trying to preserve their strength. However, they couldn't allow the Evil Dragon Battle Team to achieve a perfect victory. Hence, the Asura Battle Team had dispatched five members. They only needed to win one of the first three matches.
After all, based on the information they had gathered, the Asura Battle Team's overall strength was subpar. However, the battle team had a few decent experts. At best, the Asura Battle Team could win the first three matches. They had no hope of winning the last two matches.
As a result, many players began to bet on the Evil Dragon Battle Team's victory.
Due to the large number of players betting on the Evil Dragon Battle Team's victory, the payout for the Asura Battle Team changed once more. Now, the payout for the Evil Dragon Battle Team's victory was 1-2. However, the payout for the Evil Dragon Battle Team's victory remained unchanged.
…
Meanwhile, inside a VIP room on the second floor …
"Big Sis Endless, should we bet on who will win?" Cloud Yarn asked hesitantly.
Everyone turned to look at Endless Scars. They all wanted to know who would win from her.
In the team, Endless Scars had the best analytical ability. Oftentimes, Endless Scars would be able to predict the outcome of a duel before it even started.
Everyone had already arrived at the competition venue. They also had to participate in the auction. Naturally, having more money would be a better guarantee.
"Don't even think about using underhanded methods. We don't even have the specific information of the players on both sides. There's simply no way to determine which team will win." Endless Scars rolled her eyes at everyone. Slowly, she said, "In the eyes of the public, the Asura Battle Team has no hope of winning this match. After all, the gap between the two sides' foundations is simply too large. However, Ling YI Society is not as simple as it seems. Let's just watch the match quietly."
If she had not entered the Fallen Ark with the Ling YI Society, she would've believed that the Evil Dragon Battle Team would win. After all, for this competition, the Miracle Society had borrowed plenty of Epic items from other Guilds. When it came to the weapons and equipment of their members, no one could compare. Including the experts the Miracle Society had dispatched, the Ling YI Society had no hope of winning.
…
As the Asura Battle Team prepared below the stage, Shifeng suddenly received a call from Feng Qianyu.
"Team Leader Ye Feng, is your Ling Yi Society planning to forfeit this match?" Feng Qianyu asked angrily.
Previously, she had rejected Thousand Miles's offer. She had even resisted the pressure of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Great Pavilion Master to place her trust in the Ling YI Society. Now that the Asura Battle Team had only dispatched five members, she would become a laughingstock in front of Thousand Miles, Nine Dragons Emperor, and the Great Pavilion Master.
If the Asura Battle Team won this match, her bid for Thunder Island would most likely be over.
Currently, too many superpowers were participating in the contest for Thunder Island. Ku Rong had always felt that splitting the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's forces to compete for Thunder Island was not a good idea. They should combine the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion and Phoenix Pavilion's forces. That way, they would have a better chance of competing for Thunder Island.
If her performance disappointed the Great Pavilion Master, he would definitely assign the Phoenix Pavilion to Nine Dragons Emperor.
At that time, she would be at a disadvantage.
"Give up?" Shifeng chuckled. He, more or less, understood Feng Qianyu's question. "Phoenix Pavilion Master, we haven't given up yet. However, we really can't find enough manpower right now. Hence, the five of us rushed over."
If possible, Shifeng did not wish to do this. However, he had no other choice.
Previously, he had obtained an Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest. Originally, this should've been a joyous occasion.
However, who would've thought that the conditions to open an Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest would be so harsh? Even Shifeng had never thought that there would be such a condition.
To open the Treasure Chest, they needed 3,000 players.
The conditions were very simple. They just needed to send 3,000 players into the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest's space and activate the mechanisms within. Only after all 3,000 players passed would the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest open.
To ensure that they could open the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest, Shifeng had gathered all of the Guild's experts. They had even used the Guild's peak elites to make up for the shortfall. Only after much difficulty did they manage to gather 3,000 players.
Who would've thought that after all 3,000 players entered the Treasure Chest's space, they would be locked in different locations? Inside those locations, players would not be able to communicate with the outside world. They also could not log out of the game. There were only two ways to exit the Treasure Chest.
The first option was simple. They just needed to clear the Treasure Chest.
The second option was to wait for 48 hours. Once the time was up, players would be automatically sent out of the Treasure Chest. However, if even one of the 3,000 players failed to clear the Treasure Chest, they would not be able to open it …
Shifeng was already considered very powerful inside the Treasure Chest's space. In the end, they still spent over eight hours clearing the Treasure Chest. Every monster they killed was more powerful than the one before. It felt as if the Treasure Chest was pushing players past their limits.
Violet Cloud, Fire Dance, Gentle Snow, Alluring Summer, and the others exited the Treasure Chest one after another. However, even Violet Cloud, who had been the fastest, had spent over 14 hours, while Alluring Summer, who had been the slowest, had spent 16 hours. Everyone else had yet to exit the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest …
Seeing that the Dark Arena's competition was about to begin, Shifeng had no choice but to lead Violet Cloud and the others to the Treasure Chest.
It wasn't that Shi Feng didn't want to find someone to replace him. Only, he couldn't find anyone. Now that 3,000 elite players had entered the Treasure Chest, he couldn't find a single Level 40 expert in the entire Guild. If he brought them to the Dark Arena, everyone would laugh their heads off. Hence, he had decided not to bring anyone else.
"You can't find anyone?"
Feng Qianyu was speechless. He even wondered if Shifeng was toying with him. However, when he saw Shifeng's serious expression, he felt that there was no need to lie. It was very likely that Shifeng already knew how powerful the Evil Dragon Battle Team was. It was only normal that they could not find an opponent strong enough to contend with. In any case, they had no hope of winning the last two three-man matches. It would be pointless to bring anyone with them. Hence, they might as well take a gamble and compete for the first three matches.
"I understand. Even if we don't win this match, it's fine. I only hope that you don't let the Evil Dragon Battle Team look down on the Asura Battle Team," Feng Qianyu advised Shifeng softly.
Although the possibility of losing was very high, as long as they won two of the first three matches, outsiders would still consider them honorable. At that time, she would have an easier time explaining herself to the Great Pavilion Master.
In Feng Qianyu's opinion, that was simply impossible.
