Everyone looked confused.
They knew nothing about what had happened after the seventy-first floor.
They only felt that they had been dreaming, but no one could say what that dream was. They had already forgotten.
"Brother Wei, you aren't joking with us, right? Have we really reached the eighty-eighth floor?"
"Are we qualified to enter the seven great academies?"
"Brother Wei, we love you so much!"
When the group of participants heard that they had won the bet, and looked for Yang Tianyuan and Zang Annning to confirm a few times, all of them were so excited that they were at a loss of words. Yet Weiqing had a pale and powerless face; he was more tired than anyone else.
This was because he needed to control nineteen people to advance at the same time. This meant that he would have to expend a tremendous amount of spiritual energy to control nineteen powerful puppets.
As for Yuchi Tianchi and the rest, they had already left the mountain with their tails between their legs. Only General Qin Nation and a group of his personal guards were left at the side, waiting for the orders from the higher ups.
"Everyone, make the best use of your time to rest. When we reach the mountain later, you'll have to put in all your concentration."
"Old Yang, let's help them recuperate."
, on the other hand, had been recuperating ever since he had left the tower. His expression was calm, causing Zang Annning to love and hate him, as he constantly muttered to himself how could there not be a person like Weiqing in the Nine Regions. On the other hand, Yang Tianyuan, who was standing beside him, had a face full of gratification.
The bet was won.
However, everyone knew that the truly troublesome matter had just begun.
If the Kowloon Athletic Group in the Thousand Storey Tower did not perform well, and if these people got on the War God Shrine, other than being mocked and neglected, there would not be any other problems, and the Fighting Techniques Conference would continue to be held as usual. But now, the Kowloon Athletic Group had passed through the Fusu Bird tide and past the eighty-eighth floor. These two matters were like two ruthless slaps, slapping the entire Southern Star Domain on the face!
The most important thing was that the Southern Star Domain owed the Nine Prefectures 400 million Stellar Stone!
This debt would become the most important bargaining chip between the Nine Prefectures and Southern Star Domain.
To Weiqing, these four hundred million Stellar Stone had an even deeper meaning. Stealing Left Vanguard City was something that would happen sooner or later, and these four hundred million Stellar Stone could be said to have been taken down by Weiqing by him alone, so it was more than enough to build a Pan Gu City. In the future, when the Allied Forces of the Three Realms were to take over the Left Vanguard City, this huge debt would be considered as Weiqing's compensation for the Sky Opening Mansion.
However, to achieve this effect, Weiqing still had one more thing to do.
That was how to make the elders of the board of supervisors acknowledge this debt, and how to let the Nine Prefectures have the ability to obtain this debt.
No matter how much money he had, if he couldn't get his hands on it, it would just be a piece of white paper.
What surprised Weiqing was that, although an elder had initially thought that the supervising committee would send Kowloon Athletic Group to the War God Shrine very soon, in the end, after arriving at Dark Gold Mountain, he gave an order for the Qin Nation general to bring the Kowloon Athletic Group back to the river side, to settle in the Qin Nation camp by the lake, waiting for the supervising board's next arrangements.
With regards to this unfriendly arrangement, Weiqing and the others chose to compromise.
Since they were staying in the barracks, naturally they were going to let the Qin Nation camp monitor their Kowloon Athletic Group and wait for the board of supervisors to discuss the results.
In this way, there would be benefits, at least Weiqing and the rest of the participants would be able to make the best use of their time to prepare for the battle of Fighting Techniques Conference. However, just as they arrived at the Qin Nation Army Camp, they received a notification saying that the Fighting Techniques Conference would be delayed by seven days and no reason was given. But Zang Annning and Yang Tianyuan, using the Stellar Stone in their hands, were quickly able to uncover the truth!
"The reason they postponed the Fighting Techniques Conference selection is because of them!"
"First, because there is an unwritten rule in the Fighting Techniques Conference. Anyone who passes the 88th floor of the Thousand Storey Tower can directly skip the preliminaries and enter the Official Competition. In other words, in the eighth day of preliminaries, we don't need to participate. We only need to participate in the ninth day of Official Competition, and that gives us more time to recuperate! "
"Secondly, they plan to once again select a batch of super gifted Young Expert s from the Southern Star Domain. Their goal is to absolutely not let our Kowloon Athletic Group shine again!"
"Also, because the elders on the board of supervisors are all cultivators of Southern Star Domain, the opponents they have arranged for us in the Official Competition might be very strong. They want us to get out of the competition as soon as possible and then encircle and annihilate the participants who have passed the Official Competition! In this way, out of our twenty people, I'm afraid only a few of them will be able to fight their way out of the Official Competition! "
Wang Loonggui laughed and said: "If we can't enter the top twenty, and pass the Official Competition and enter the semifinals, what difference is there between that and not entering the semifinals?"
Yang Tianyuan sighed: "That's exactly what you said. What I'm worried about is that they will end up dying in the Fighting Techniques Conference, and there will definitely be losses among you guys!"
Soong Wenshan mocked: "If they want us to die, we'll have to see if they have the guts to do so!"
Mou Zhengxin nodded his head, "That's right, at most we'll just fight to the death!"
The current Kowloon Athletic Group, after going through the baptism of Cloud-sea of Wu Mountain, Fusu Bird tide and Thousand Storey Tower, had already condensed its combat power. Moreover, its confidence had greatly increased. And it was precisely because of this that Southern Star Domain had to be completely prepared, and it was absolutely impossible for them to lose face a third time.
Weiqing then slowly said: "Is there any news from the Seven Great Academies?"
They are very interested in you, so I hope that they can express their stance as soon as possible. If all of you are able to become prospective students of the seven great academies before Official Competition begins, then in terms of Fighting Techniques Conference, your opponents will naturally have to be wary of you, at least not using any underhanded methods! "
Everyone settled down in the Qin Nation camp.
Although there were constant patrols outside the camp and the guards were very strict, at least the food was not bad and everyone rested early.
The next day, no one came to visit.
Even Zang Annning and Zang Annning were restricted from leaving the camp, and said to be ordered by the two great elders.
What made everyone uneasy was that according to their agreement, Fang Zheng and Yuan Tong should be arriving at the Tianqin Sea by this time in the Colossal Deer City, but they didn't make it in time. It was only when Yuchi Tianchi had someone bring over two jade pendants that Fang Zheng and Yuan Tong arrived.
It was only then that Weiqing realized that he had already tracked the journey of the Kowloon Athletic Group two days ago in the Colossal Deer City.
The so called Kowloon Athletic Group could not all be left behind in the teleportation formation, which meant that two people had to stay behind. In reality, they had to grab hold of the Kowloon Athletic Group, hold onto the hostages, and control the situation better!
Did the two sides finally intend to break off all decorum?
