Chapter 221: Conduct team battles, in groups of 4!
Faced with a barrage of questions from the crowd, Fang Lei refused to offer any explanation.
He is the one who sets the rules, and all the major king-level forces need to do is abide by them.
Since he agreed to let Chen Yue give up his spot to Gu Jun, it means that everyone else's opinion doesn't matter.
Fang Lei wasn't the only one in the Great Yuan Dynasty with this idea; several other King-level experts also agreed with this approach.
Because Chen Yue had a close relationship with the Ninth Prince, he could almost ignore all opposition when faced with his request.
Fang Lei announced loudly, "The competition for the Spirit Spring continues, and the first spot goes to Gu Jun from the Xuan Yun Holy Land."
"If anyone raises any further questions, they can simply give up the competition for the spiritual spring."
Upon hearing Fang Lei's words, the crowd that had been indignantly expressing their opposition fell silent and said no more.
He was afraid that if he said another word, his faction would be kicked out of this rare opportunity by Fang Lei on the spot.
Even Yunxuan Sect, which was extremely dissatisfied with this decision, had to consider Shen Ye's feelings and had no choice but to acquiesce to Chen Yue continuing to play.
The voices of opposition dwindled until they disappeared completely.
The next battle certainly cannot be like the first one, where a player can freely choose an opponent to spar with.
Only by matching opponents randomly can the fairness of this competition be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Facing an unknown opponent tests both the player's actual ability and their luck.
Fang Lei summoned all the sect disciples who were fighting to the central, spacious battle arena.
No one knew what Fang Lei's next plan was, as his decision was closely related to whether they could enter the Spirit Spring.
There are still 32 sect disciples remaining on the scene, and they will need to engage in 16 one-on-one battles.
If that's the case, the process will take far too long; sixteen battles would take at least several days.
Fang Lei just wanted to quickly decide who would enter the Spirit Spring and send them there so his mission could end sooner.
After a brief period of careful consideration, Fang Lei quickly came up with a way to end the battle sooner.
Since one-on-one battles are too troublesome, team battles can be used, and multiplayer battles can greatly shorten the battle time.
There are still 32 sect disciples left on site. If they are divided equally, it would be best to divide them into groups of four.
This way, they can be divided into eight groups, and after four battles, most of them can be eliminated.
Fang Lei was very satisfied with this idea and shared it with the many sect disciples present.
"In the next sparring session, I plan to have you fight in groups of four. The team that wins will advance."
"As for which teammates to choose, I won't impose any restrictions here; you can make the choice yourselves."
"Once the decision is made, I will announce the next steps."
Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone began to discuss it animatedly. It was true that sparring in a team format would increase the chances of advancing.
"Four people in a group? Then I can get by. Is there any big brother who can take me under his wing?"
"We're missing two teammates, who's going to fill in? Let's make it clear first, we don't guarantee a win!"
"I'm guaranteed to win when I arrive. Who can stop me with my eighth-level Spirit Mansion cultivation?"
"Just like everyone else isn't at the eighth level of the Spirit Mansion realm, our strongest team will simply sweep you all aside."
"It's not certain who will push whom. Two are at the eighth level of the Spirit Mansion Realm and two are at the peak of the seventh level. How do you think you can fight our group?"
Some sect disciples chose to stick together for mutual support, since the only missing members on the field were two disciples from Yunxuan Sect and Xuanyun Holy Land.
The remaining king-level forces had two disciples who were not eliminated.
Basically, the vast majority of people choose to be in a group with people from their own faction, partly because they feel more at ease working together and are not afraid of being betrayed.
On the other hand, they have absolute confidence in their teammates, believing that working together will definitely secure them a spot in the next round.
"Brother Chen Yue, do you want to be in my group?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Chen Yue discovered that the person who called out his name was none other than Su Mingxiang, the young master of the Su family, whom he had met once before.
"So it's Young Master Su. I didn't expect you to be here too."
Su Mingxiang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chen Yue's performance on the field was so outstanding that it's understandable that he didn't notice me."
"How about teaming up with me, Brother Chen Yue? Do you have that idea?"
Chen Yue answered without hesitation, "Since Young Master Su has spoken, there is no reason to refuse."
Chen Yue didn't dislike this young master of the Su family, just because he had paid a high price to accept the flawed sea soul jade.
He also generously told Chen Yue about the intact Sea Soul Jade, and even personally led the way to the Su family to wait for the Ninth Prince to appear.
This shows that the young master of the Su family has no ill intentions towards him at all, and teaming up with him is more reliable than playing against anyone else on the scene.
"If Brother Chen Yue is willing to join, that would be wonderful."
"Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Su Mingyi. His cultivation has already reached the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm, but he is still slightly inferior to me."
Su Mingxiang introduced the boy next to him to Chen Yue. The boy was short and thin, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Su Mingxiang's.
The occasional chill in his eyes made Chen Yue realize at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
The fact that this young man was chosen by the Su family to compete for the spiritual spring shows that he is definitely one of the best among the younger generation of the Su family.
Among all the disciples of these sects, there are probably very few with the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion.
Chen Yue recalled Su Mingxiang's words: Su Mingyi, who was at the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm, was slightly inferior to him.
This means that Su Mingxiang's cultivation level has very likely reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm.
As a member of the younger generation of the Lingyuan Mountain Range, the Su family's prodigy is indeed stronger than others. The large amount of cultivation resources obtained through close ties with the Great Yuan Dynasty have certainly not been taken for nothing.
With these two teammates present, even if Chen Yue deliberately doesn't make a move in the battle, he might not necessarily lose.
Everyone quickly formed their own teams, all of which were four-person groups formed by two factions working together.
Shen Ye of Yunxuan Sect was left with nowhere to go, and coincidentally, Chen Yue's group was short one person.
Su Mingxiang leaned close to Chen Yue's ear and whispered, "Brother Chen Yue, do you have some kind of conflict with the Yunxuan Sect?"
Chen Yue replied, "There is indeed a contradiction, so I plan to eliminate Shen Ye as well."
"No one from the Yunxuan Sect is allowed to enter the Spirit Spring."
Upon hearing Chen Yue's resolute words, Su Mingxiang's face immediately showed distress. Although he did not know what the conflict between Chen Yue and Yunxuan Sect was, judging from Chen Yue's reaction, it seemed to be a serious matter.
This made him embarrassed to suggest taking Shen Ye in; their group was only one person short, and Shen Ye was the only one available for them to choose from.
Seeing Su Mingxiang hesitate, Su Mingyi said directly, "Our group is still short one person, so we can only choose Shen Ye."
"He's the only one who hasn't joined the group yet; there's no other choice but him."
