In an instant, that spear turned into countless ice fragments... What was terrifying was that each fragment contained white energy, rushing towards the Leico Beast. The Leico Beast was instantly shocked, fortunately, at this moment, its Beastmaster Dai Sen shouted loudly, "Stop, I concede!" Just as the voice rang out, the referee’s Spirit Beast stepped forward, and innumerable energy ice fragments flew towards the referee’s thirty-five-level Spirit Beast, creating a series of explosive sounds like firecrackers. For a moment, countless people swallowed hard. The physical energy transformation of law evolution was indeed terrifying. "Oh my, I want a Spirit Beast with law evolution too." "Don’t even think about it, come back when you can gather the materials for law evolution." "Yeah, and it’s a gamble with life. You might succeed once, but can you guarantee your Spirit Beast will succeed every time it evolves?" Amidst the audience’s discussions, the referee announced Balke’s victory. Lin Chen also looked at the Big White Bear, wanting to ask it about its thoughts. But with just one glance, Lin Chen knew he didn’t need to ask. The Big White Bear’s eyes at this moment were glowing just like a Little Fox seeing money. Lin Chen smiled, and swiftly took them back to Zhang Suqing’s match arena. But upon returning, he saw everyone with dark expressions. "Lost?" Lin Chen was surprised. "Won." Zhang Suqing’s face didn’t look any better. "Isn’t winning a good thing?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Suqing said, "Although I won, I used up all my trump cards." Lin Chen was taken aback. Although Zhang Suqing was the weakest among the three, Lin Chen had fought with her and knew the depth of her two Spirit Beasts’ strength. Is the Nanfen Ancient Country’s strength really that strong? "Let’s talk when we get back." Zhang Suqing said. As they were about to leave, Lin Chen indeed heard the nearby audience starting to discuss. Many could see that Zhang Suqing had put in full effort in the match, so they were very dissatisfied. They all felt that the Nanfen Ancient Country was a weak country and shouldn’t be so hard to fight against. "In the casino’s strength analysis this time, the freshman class was said to have the weakest strength. Initially, because Zhang Suqing’s two Spirit Beasts were pretty good, they should have been decent, but it turned out to be just this." "Yeah, if she’s , the other two are probably not much better." "We can only count on the upperclassmen’s performance. They are the real backbone." Lin Chen didn’t think much after listening and returned to the inn. There, Zhang Suqing recounted the recent events, and the usually quiet Fang You added in the end: "It seems like her two Spirit Beasts have been completely studied, even their combined skills..." Lin Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. Zhang Suqing’s strongest aspect wasn’t individual battles, but chaos battles. This was because her two Spirit Beasts could form a combined skill. But now, it seems the combined skill was also known by the opponents. "The opponent actually had a countermeasure..." Zhang Suqing said, "If it weren’t for the power of the combined skill that the opponent couldn’t withstand, I’m afraid we would have lost this time." Lin Chen furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this, but Zhang Suqing comforted: "My strength was never a mystery, you don’t need to think too much about it." "The issue is..." Lin Chen looked up, his furrowed brows showing no sign of relaxing, and said, "Among the Six Kingdoms, the intelligence network of the Nanfen Ancient Country has always been the weakest." "For them to be able to grasp so much information is quite suspicious indeed." After saying that, Lin Chen also took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps I’m overthinking it." After the meal, they saw that Wu Chen had also returned, and Lin Chen went forward to ask, "Senior Brother, is your match over too?" Wu Chen, without his usual smile, nodded. Today wasn’t Wu Chen’s match, but another student named Zhao Hu. Among the three, Zhao Hu ranked second. However, today he encountered a student from the East Sakura Country and lost. Lin Chen finally understood why Wu Chen, who usually wore a smile, had changed so much. Losing was naturally disappointing, and losing to the East Sakura Country only added to the pressure. It can be imagined that the audience outside must be furiously attacking Zhao Hu. This kind of mental pressure was immense. Lin Chen didn’t ask further, although this competition was a team effort, the rules stated that they didn’t need to interact, they just had to do their best individually. Returning to their room, the three Spirit Beasts began their cultivation, and the Big White Bear was now full of enthusiasm. But since it couldn’t meditate, it didn’t know what to do, so it could only lift weights. As for Lin Chen, his mind was still recalling the combat process of the Hundred Lin Beast, not thinking much about Zhang Suqing’s issue. Unexpectedly, about three hours later, Daoist Zhang came looking for them. It wasn’t just him who came, but also Wu Chen and the senior team captain: Jiang Yangfei. "What happened?" Lin Chen asked. "We also lost." Jiang Yangfei exhaled. Today’s participant from the senior team was also a student ranked third, the opponent wasn’t considered a strong rival, coming from the Ancient Kingdom of Xijun, whose ranking was also third. Initially, things went well, the senior’s Spirit Beast was overpowering the opponent. Unexpectedly, at the final stage of the match, the opponent seized a flaw and turned defeat into victory. So today, the start was one victory and two losses, which was very unfavorable for Cangling Ancient Country. "What do you think?" Daoist Zhang called the three captains together, naturally to hear their views. Lin Chen and the others had almost the same thought, that their intelligence had leaked more severely than anticipated. This was not good news for them. There were certainly disparities in Spirit Beasts’ strengths, just like Xiaobai fighting the Nine Tribulation Beasts, there was an advantage. But if Xiaobai didn’t know about the Nine Tribulation Beasts’ abilities beforehand, and the Nine Tribulation Beasts were well aware of Xiaobai’s, the final result would be hard to predict. After all, even though the Nine Tribulation Beasts were slightly weaker, they could still win, as the gap in strength wasn’t vast. Daoist Zhang nodded, his thoughts were the same. But this raised a big issue. If they wanted to smoothly enter the elimination round, then in the upcoming matches, would everyone need to go all out? If so, they would be entirely studied, which would be very disadvantageous in the elimination rounds. Finally, Daoist Zhang said: "The points match has two rounds, don’t rush, let’s see after tomorrow’s matches." Daoist Zhang found it quite overwhelming because everything seemed too bizarre. The opponents from three different countries seemed to know them inside out. Daoist Zhang actually had a very unsettling thought, which was... Could it be that the three countries were sharing intelligence? But this made no sense. That night, the entire White Emperor City was abuzz with discussions about today’s matches. For the people of Cangling Ancient Country, they were very dissatisfied, especially with the loss to the East Sakura Country. "Could it be that we won’t even get third place this year?" "Don’t worry, it’s just the first day." "How can we not worry, the only win was quite difficult." This kind of talk was unstoppable, spreading among everyone, surely causing a great deal of pressure on Wu Chen and the others. As for the mastermind behind it, Tyler, he was very pleased. Whether it was the information from Nanfen Ancient Country or the Ancient Kingdom of Xijun, it was Tyler who had shared it. Tyler’s goal was simple, to exhaust the battle strength of Cangling Ancient Country as much as possible, allowing the Empire to smoothly retain the championship. Over the years, the conflict between the Youlan Empire and Beiming Country was actually the most frequent, but in the strategy of the House of Representatives, Cangling Ancient Country was the greatest threat. It was known that Cangling Ancient Country once was the strongest country in the world... If Cangling Ancient Country were to rise again, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thus, even if this meant Cangling Ancient Country realized their intelligence leaks were severe, he still decided to act this way. "You probably never thought that the traitor was actually from the Gu Family." Tyler sat on his chair, looking pleased with the day’s results. After the first day’s matches, the scores were as follows: Youlan Empire, two wins, one loss, 4 points. Cangling Ancient Country, two losses, one win, 2 points. Nanfen Ancient Country, two losses, one win, 2 points. East Sakura Country, two losses, one win, 2 points. Read full story at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 Beiming Country, two wins, one loss, 4 points.
