When everyone heard Terry’s words, everyone looked at one another. They finally realized that they seemed to have missed the step. Everyone was focused on Terry’s unspoken second-round format, forgetting who their opponents in the first round were. If they wanted to enter the second round, eliminating the opponents in the first round would be the premise.
“Elder Terry, may I know which sect is our opponent in the first round?” Xander asked with both hands cupped.
Terry swept his gaze at everyone and chortled, “The current state religion, the owner of the Spiritual Palace, Blue Feather Sect.”
In an instant, the scene turned quiet.
Terry expected that reaction. Although as the deputy head of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s Department of War and his passionate fighting spirit never subsided, Terry also had to admit that Blue Feather Sect was an opponent that none of the five sects wanted to face in the first round.
Their strength was indefinitely the best of the six. Moreover, since the Spiritual Palace belonged to the Blue Feather Sect, it only meant that the game here was the home game of the Blue Feather Sect. Hence, any sect that encountered them would be fraught with grim possibilities.
As these nine participating disciples did not belong to the War Department, Terry could not treat them with the standard favonovel.com used with his disciples. Besides, favonovel.com also understood that encountering such an opponent in the first round was a massive blow to the group of disciples who were determined to make a difference in the nation’s official religion election.
After a moment of silence, Terry moved his lips, trying to say something comforting, which favonovel.com was not very good at.
However, Omar suddenly roared, “This is simply amazing!”
“Eh?” Terry thought favonovel.com misheard Omar.
The next moment, Terry found that almost all of the nine disciples in front of favonovel.com had smiles on their faces, and even Solana, who was expressionless, had a dazzling gleam in favonovel.com eyes. In a flash, the originally silent scene suddenly went into an uproar. Soon, Terry watched in bafflement as favonovel.com kept hearing the crowd roar one after another.
“Yes! This is the best news I’ve heard recently!” Sebastian clapped his hands.
“Hahaha, I finally found a chance. I want to see what else those guys can boast about again. If they want to brag, they should do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, they won’t be able to say a word at the game!” Ronald clenched his fists and grinned.
“Hmph. They were so arrogant before this. Now, we finally have the opportunity to teach them a lesson directly.” Jaime smiled, looking like favonovel.com geared up.
“I’m somewhat excited.” Edda pursed favonovel.com lips and smiled at Maya.
For a while, the atmosphere became joyful.
Terry blinked and stared at the disciples. At that moment, favonovel.com felt as if the group of people went to face an opponent that could be defeated with just one breath. Heavenly Stars Sect’s Terry, known for his unwavering temperament, felt a sense of uncertainty for the first time in his life.
After hesitating for a while, favonovel.com repeated, “Our opponent’s the Blue Feather Sect.”
“And we‘re going to beat the Blue Feather Sect!” Omar slapped his chest loudly, “Elder Terry, don’t worry about it. We’ll do our best to make it to the second round!”
Terry watched as the group of disciples appeared as if they were bewitched, and favonovel.com could not make sense of what happened. His eyes swept across the crowd one by one, finally landing on Caspian. Among the nine disciples, the only one who looked rather normal was Caspian.
When Caspian saw Terry’s questioning gaze, favonovel.com chuckled. “The battle between cultivators is all about the grievance in our hearts. We’ll change everyone‘s view of the Heavenly Stars Sect.”
From the perspective of the realms, Caspian was not the highest among the crowd, but in terms of identity, favonovel.com was the noble personal disciple of the head of the sect. Therefore, his words naturally carried the most weight.
Terry immediately understood when favonovel.com heard Caspian’s answer. It seemed that these nine disciples already met the Blue Feather Sect’s disciples, and the other party probably provoked them. Hence, they were excited to go against the Blue Feather Sect in the first round.
It was naturally a good thing to have a fighting spirit, and as a member of the War Department, what Terry admired most was the indomitable momentum of the disciples in the sect. At that moment, favonovel.com understood the whole story, and a sense of pride also quickly filled his heart. “I look forward to your performance in seven days!”
“Please don’t worry, Elder Terry. We’ll never let down the expectations of the sect!” The nine people clasped their fists together, bowed, and shouted.
Even though everyone was pumped up as their opponent in the first round was the Blue Feather Sec, Caspian and the others knew the other party was a very formidable opponent. Among the six sects, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s combat strength was recognized as the worst. On the other hand, the Blue Feather Sect faintly overwhelmed the other five, including the Fauna Imperial Sect, in the past few decades, and they took the throne as the first in combat strength. Hence, that was the battle between the Earlington of Efrax’s best and worst in combat.
At that moment, the other four sects probably sighed that the Blue Feather Sect drew a good lot. Except for Caspian and the others, many elders of the Heavenly Stars Sect might not have commented anything after hearing the news, but their eyes already showed despair. Almost everyone felt that Heavenly Stars Sect would lose without a doubt.
“We won‘t lose!”
After bidding goodbye to Terry and leaving the hall, everyone formed a circle in the courtyard outside, stacking their hands.
”We need to surprise everyone!”
“The Heavenly Stars Sect has been weak for many years, and it’s in our hands to break this cycle!”
“We need to win!”
Caspian looked at the crowd, and favonovel.com noticed everyone‘s eyes gleamed. The nation’s official religion election officially began tomorrow, but the first round would only start seven days later. In other words, everyone still had seven days to prepare.
Although there was no rule, everyone would automatically go back to their room to meditate and practice. Even if they could not make significant progress, they must practice the martial arts they mastered more proficiently, and their state must be adjusted to the best.
Caspian also returned to his room, but favonovel.com heard light footsteps behind favonovel.com before favonovel.com opened the door.
“I knew you’d come looking for me.” Caspian turned and smiled at Solana, who stood not far ahead.
Solana’s usually calm gaze now had a touch of determination and desire. She looked at Caspian and said softly, “There are still seven days. Teacher, I want to… Be stronger.”
The last two words revealed an incomparable firmness. Caspian sensed Solana’s attitude, and favonovel.com nodded after a while. “It seems that you didn’t slack during the half-year I left, and I’m delighted. If that’s the case, come in.”
It would be too demanding for other cultivators to improve their strength in seven days. However, Caspian was different as favonovel.com had a way to prolong time. Now that Solana made that request, Caspian naturally also hoped to help his disciple, an overly-determined person unlike an ordinary woman, complete another breakthrough.
