Chapter 136 Manipulation

Every sect had to draw three lots. If the Gu Immortal Sect did not draw themselves, they would naturally be drawn by others.

This was a slightly famous sect, and it was even stronger than the Tai Yi Sect.

The unexpected happened earlier than Fang Yuan expected, but it was still within his control.

As the challenger, the other party had to send someone first. They called a third layer Enlightenment Realm disciple to go on stage.

At the branch office, Fang Yuan glanced at everyone.

“Junior Gu, do you want to go first?”

“Forget it.” Gu Tianqing was not interested. “I only want to save my strength to fight the Tai Yi Sect now.”

“What, you don’t want to fight for the individual ranking?”

“I can’t win.” Gu Tianqing smiled bitterly. “If every large sect had someone of your level, I would not even be able to enter the top thirty.”

Fang Yuan laughed. “Don’t worry, my talent is unique to the Gu Immortal Sect!”

“Really?”

“I have plenty to gain lying to you.”

“Alright! I’ll go!”

Gu Tianqing was the first to jump onto the stage. “Gu Immortal Sect’s Gu Tianqing, please enlighten me.”

The other party laughed bitterly. Knowing that he would lose, he sighed. “Senior Gu, please show mercy.”

“As a Gu master seeking battle, how can you show mercy!”

Gu Tianqing called out his Gu worm, and his spirit essence surged. That Gu worm spat out energy and sent his opponent flying, landing on the ground with a thud.

“The Gu Immortal Sect wins.” The judge on the side said.

One point won. Gu Tianqing was unsatisfied as he went down the stage. “Senior, if there is another match like this, let Yuan Ge and the others go. Winning this was too easy and meaningless.”

“What do you think of that person’s strength?”.

“He shattered with a single touch.” “Is that so?”

Fang Yuan smiled. “Look at the calluses on his palm, it is obvious that it was the result of him wielding a sword all year round. Under the same cultivation level, I don’t need to say much about the strength of sword Gu masters, right?”

Gu Tianqing nodded. “Sword cultivators are the strongest.”

“Juniors Bing Ning and Yao Guang are both pure support type Gu masters. They have no advantage in a one on one battle. Although Junior Gu is good at fighting head on, she is not a sword cultivator. If she were to face him, the process would be exciting, but she might not necessarily win the battle.”

“What about me? What about me!” Ruan Qinghe was looking forward to her senior’s comments.

“For you, your cultivation level is on par with his. The vines of your Wood Charm Gu will break when they meet the sword Qi, how can you fight him?”

Ruan Qinghe pouted. She had asked for humiliation.

Fang Yuan looked at Gu Tianqing. “We already have few people, if the other party purposely baited us to underestimate them, who do you think will have the confidence to win after the two of us bring home these first two rounds?”

Gu Tianqing asked, “What about Junior Qin? She’s also a sword cultivator, and she’s at the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm. She’ll definitely win if she goes on stage.”

“We can’t expose the strength of all the main members in this match.”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice. “You and I will go on stage in the end. It doesn’t matter when we fight. But after that, we still have to fight the Tianxiang Sect. I don’t need to say much about their strength. If we can’t get Qin Han to score a point, with the big sects having at least four people at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, we definitely won’t win.”

Gu Tianqing fell silent.

He didn’t think as much as Fang Yuan. Now that he heard it, it was indeed the case.

Qin Han had to exist as a dark chess piece.

In a situation where two teammates at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm couldn’t participate in the battle, such a lineup was already somewhat difficult to face against such a sect, not to mention the Tianxiang Sect, which was a large sect. This didn’t mean that they had no chance at

all.

The winning party had to send out their disciples first, which was very likely to become the key to turning defeat into victory.

It had to be done step by step.

Soon, the second round began. Fang Yuan thought for a while and looked at Zhou Chang, “Junior, how is the recovery of the spirit essence in your body?”

“I’m at eighty or ninety percent, it should be enough!” “Then you go.”

“Okay!”

Zhou Chang went on stage and showed his strength under the judge’s request.

After the challenging sect found out that he was a fourth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, they did not hesitate and directly sent out a fifth layer Enlightenment Realm disciple.

They were trying to crush him using someone with a higher cultivation level.

A person with a high cultivation level might not have more spirit essence than a person with a low cultivation level.

The main factor was still affected by the quantity and quality of the Gu worms.

However, the other party was clearly not weaker than Zhou Chang.

After using all sorts of trump cards to prove that Zhou Chang’s defense was indeed indestructible, he finally gave in and entered the battle of spirit essence consumption. Fang Yuan shook his head. “Zhou Chang lost.” Gu Tianqing could also see that the opponent’s spirit essence was deep. Zhou Chang had not fully recovered and was just a little bit weaker. As expected, dozens of minutes later, with a series of explosions, Zhou Chang was knocked off the stage. Fang Yuan flew over and caught him, feeding him two medicinal pills.

“Senior… I lost…” Zhou Chang had a guilty expression.

“No problem, rest well and recover as soon as possible.”

One win and one loss, but with Gu Tianqing’s personal points, the Gu Immortal Sect’s total points were one.

On the distant total points rankings, the current top ten were all at six points.

They were already far behind.

In the third round, the team leader of the other sect came on personally.

Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment before letting Ruan Qinghe go up. “Just admit defeat. There’s no need to waste your spirit essence.” “Wow, Senior, you’re already using me to exchange for their next pick.” Ruan Qinghe muttered.

“Don’t worry, there’ll be a chance for you to show off.”

“Alright.”

Thus, Ruan Qinghe went on stage. “I admit defeat.”

In less than three seconds, she directly left the stage, leaving behind a confused opponent. “This Gu Immortal Sect… why did they give up two rounds of points?”

The leader was extremely surprised. “Could it be that they want to lose this round to avoid the strong competition?”

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was the case. In this way, no matter if the sect was strong or weak, the Gu Immortal Sect would win the next round, and then lose another round, allowing his side to win.

If they only got one point after five rounds, even if they later get a winning streak, they would only be sent to the western region to compete with the second tier sects.

“If that’s the case, let’s send someone with a weak point and preserve our strength,” the leader thought.

There would inevitably be injuries or excessive spirit essence consumption in the matches. In the first stage, they had to fight six rounds, they had to plan carefully, and in the matches that they would lose, they had to let the weaker members hold on for those rounds.

When Fang Yuan saw his opponent sending a third layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, he knew he had already guessed his opponent’s thoughts.

This round, they would win for sure.

“Junior Gu, this round will depend on you!”
