Chapter 796: Chapter 798: Drawing Lots

On the tournament stage, Ye Ku forcefully swallowed a few times, finally managing to conceal his astonishment.

The Osmanthus Sect not only surprised him, but it also surprised everyone.

All team members had passed the test.

And each one of them possessed formidable strength, excluding their Earth-Rank Cultivation.

The remarks he had prepared to make were now all to rot inside his belly.

“Congratulations to the Osmanthus Sect for passing the assessment. Please leave a representative behind to draw lots and determine your opponents for the tournament.”

After Ye Ku made the announcement, Lin Xiaotian and Tie Shan, along with Qingzi and Xiao Hu, all stepped down, leaving Li Qianqian on the stage.

This scene once again shocked everyone.

Lin Xiaotian, with his Heavenly Rank High-Level Cultivation, actually stepped down!

Allowing a woman with Peak Mysterious-Rank Cultivation to be the representative of the sect.

It was simply terrifying.

This indicated that Li Qianqian’s status within the sect was much higher than Lin Xiaotian!

For a time, all eyes were focused on Li Qianqian.

Many speculated that Li Qianqian was the Sect Leader’s woman.

After all, she was so beautiful, and her figure was also of the finest Supreme-Grade.

Almost instantly, everyone was interested in the Osmanthus Sect’s Sect Leader.

With a disciple like Lin Xiaotian, how invincible must he be as the Sect Leader?

There was also a possibility that Li Qianqian was the Sect Leader’s daughter.

Since the Sect Leader did not appear, his age was unknown.

People’s speculations were all over the place.

In any case, the Osmanthus Sect had become completely famous at this moment.

Even the previous representatives on the stage showed great respect for Li Qianqian.

Except for Yan Fang.

He had a conflict with Xia Liu, thus had a clash with the Osmanthus Sect.

If he could encounter them in the tournament, he would definitely use all his strength to crush this sect, without a doubt!

“The final countdown, ten seconds. If there are no more sects or clans coming up for testing, then the participants for the Martial World Society’s tournament will be confirmed,” Ye Ku said to the whole audience as the time was almost up.

“Ten, nine, eight, seven… one!”

After the countdown, Ye Ku’s gaze shifted to the eight representatives seated in Taishi Chairs.

“Good! I hereby announce that the teams participating in the Western Province representative tournament are: Boyun Clan: Yan Family!”

Calling out the Yan Family, Yan Fang symbolically stood up to wave at the audience.

Then came the Mo Family and Liu Family.

The two representatives similarly acknowledged the martial artists present.

“Western Province: Supreme Spear Tower, Mountain Slaying Sect, Water Spirit Villa, Black Tortoise Sect, Osmanthus Sect!”

Whoosh!

As Ye Ku finished introducing the information of all the representative teams, the martial artists on site immediately burst into a heated discussion.

The focus of the discussion, without a doubt, was the Osmanthus Sect.

This novel sect had already caused a sensation.

If they were to win the final victory, then the Osmanthus Sect would become the most famous sect in the Western Province.

Many were not very optimistic about the Osmanthus Sect.

Because of the other sects and clans.

All had been handed down through countless generations, some having histories of several hundred years.

Their heritage and experience were not something a new sect could compare with.

Especially the Yan Family, a clan capable of being compared with the Ye Family.

Of course, these were just some people’s jokes.

In Western Province, the branches of the Ye Family and Heavenly Mansion were undoubtedly the most powerful entities.

This time, the Ye Family did not participate in the Martial World Society, and as the host, they were not qualified to participate.

Even if they had participated, it would have been a case of the strong bullying the weak.

“Bring up the draw box!” Ye Ku called out loudly.

Then, two robust men lifted a large and exquisitely crafted iron box onto the stage.

“This box is made from a special metal. Without a special key, nobody can open it. Inside are eight iron balls, each marked with a number. Whoever draws the same number will be each other’s opponents in the arena match.”

After explaining the rules for drawing lots, all the lights in the venue focused on the iron box, “Now, please proceed with drawing lots in order.”

“Haha, I’ll go first.”

Yan Fang always loved to show off. The first to draw lots was certainly going to be him.

As Yan Fang fumbled around in the iron box, he finally grasped a numbered ball.

“The Yan family team, number three!”

“Number three, huh…”

In the spectator seats, Xia Liu eyed Yan Fang intently.

This arrogant guy, he hoped he wouldn’t encounter the Osmanthus Sect, otherwise they’d have to make an early appearance.

“Tch, I, Yan Fang, love to trample on newly-established sects. I hope you Osmanthus Sect draw number three.”

On his return to his seat, and passing by Li Qianqian, Yan Fang couldn’t help but make a dismissive, cold remark.

“Oh? That really makes me look forward to seeing how you, Yan Fang, would trample on my Osmanthus Sect.”

After becoming a cultivator, Li Qianqian’s overall temperament had already changed.

To her sisters, she was the cool and collected big sister.

With Xia Liu, she was sometimes domineering, yet sometimes as tender as water.

To those who looked down on her, looked down on Xia Liu, she was a cold female cultivator!

“Psh, just a little Mysterious Rank Peak Warrior. A word of advice, keep your eyes open so you don’t get deceived by certain people.”

Receiving Li Qianqian’s relatively calm response, Yan Fang could only find some topics to mock her with.

Li Qianqian said nothing more; to make people like him bow their heads, she had to speak with strength.

She really wanted to draw ball number three.

That way, she could utterly defeat the Yan family team in the arena.

Unfortunately, the number three ball was drawn by the Liu family from the Boyun martial clan.

“Young Master Yan, our Liu family really has bad luck, just starting and already set to be defeated.”

Although the representative from the Liu family said so, there was no trace of disappointment in his voice.

“Hehe, Family Head Liu jests. It’s our Yan family that is unfortunate to face such a powerful team like the Liu family in the first round. Hopefully, we can win by chance.”

Yan Fang was someone who knew how to talk.

He naturally understood the meaning behind the Liu family representative’s words.

If he acknowledged it, then after this arena match, the Liu family might harbor many grievances against the Yan family.

Though the Liu family was no match for the Yan family, they had many business developments.

So, it was absolutely essential not to spoil relations with the Liu family.

After all, they’re both families from Boyun City, and they have their own ways of making connections.

Subsequently, representatives of the various sects also went to draw their own numbers.

The last one left was Li Qianqian.

She no longer needed to draw.

Because the opposing teams were already matched up.

There was only one sect left without a corresponding arena opponent.

And that was the Black Tortoise Sect.

“There is no need for an Osmanthus Sect representative to draw; your opponent will be the Black Tortoise Sect.”

Before this, Ye Ku had already announced each competing team.

All teams’ fates were decided at this moment.

Boyun’s Yan family versus the Liu family.

Mo Family against Supreme Spear Tower.

Mountain Slaying Sect against Water Spirit Villa.

“The arena competition is an elimination tournament. The winners advance to the next round, and the losers are immediately eliminated.”

From eight to four, then four to two, and finally, the ultimate duel.

“This concludes the opening ceremony of the Martial World Society. Everyone, get ready. The first round of the arena competition will take place tomorrow.”

With some polite remarks from Ye Ku, the opening ceremony finally ended…
