111: Changing the rules

"If it's that simple, then that's for the best."

Xiang Tiange shrugged. What he had just said was merely to express a stance.

As a fellow Sequence Disciple, Xiang Tiange naturally knew the temperaments of the other Sequence Disciples. If a simple sentence could make them obedient, the position of Saint would have been his long ago.

Would it even be the turn of Lin Ye, this parachuted Holy Son Candidate?

To become a Sequence Disciple, talent, Heart-Nature, and cultivation are all indispensable.

When everyone is a Prodigy, who would submit to whom?

Even though Xiang Tiange had dominated the position of first place among the Sequence Disciples for two or three years, he had never made these people submit.

Today was even more so; the position of Saint was right before their eyes. If they gave up just because of a single sentence, they wouldn't be worthy of being called Prodigies.

Seeing the Heart-Nature of the crowd, the Elder presiding over the competition was very satisfied.

For a Sect to rise, besides having an existence capable of suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it also needs its Disciples to possess a heart that constantly strives to forge ahead.

If they encounter a powerful enemy and don't even have the courage to draw their swords, then the Disciples of this Sect have reached their end.

The Lord of Blissful Demons on the high platform also watched this scene with satisfaction, while the Mystic Moon Holy Master narrowed her beautiful eyes, gazing at these Sequence Disciples.

The Lord of Blissful Demons' appreciation was because this was his Sect.

As for the Profound Moon Holy Land, being a hostile force, even though they were about to head to the Central Plains, the long-standing hatred did not allow her to be the slightest bit negligent. After arriving in the Central Plains, it was entirely possible that they would clash with the Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

Because there was a prior agreement, the contention could only be among these young Disciples.

Seeing these Sequence Disciples of the Supreme Bliss Holy Land, the Mystic Moon Holy Master felt a wave of unease and even had the thought of wanting to slaughter these people.

After all, although the Disciples of her own Holy Land were not the slightest bit weaker than those of the Supreme Bliss Holy Land, they hadn't fought yet, so who could say who was stronger?

Everyone had different thoughts.

The Elder on the arena stage, however, didn't care about that and directly announced the start of the Holy Son Grand Competition.

"First match, Lin Ye versus..."

"Wait a moment! Elder!"

Before the Elder could finish announcing Lin Ye's opponent, Xiang Tiange stood out.

Words spoken are like spilled water; since he had already promised Lin Ye yesterday that he would handle the matters of the Holy Son Grand Competition, he naturally wouldn't let Lin Ye do the work.

Facing the first-ranked Sequence Disciple, the Elder didn't blame him at all for interrupting; instead, he asked gently, "Xiang Tiange, do you have a question?"

"Reporting to the Elder, I already said earlier that I want to give this position of Saint to Lin Ye. Since that is the case, I naturally need to eliminate the other competitors. Please, yield Lin Ye's opponents to me."

Xiang Tiange was not arrogant despite being favored, and his words were full of respect.

"Yield Lin Ye's opponents to you..."

The Elder looked a bit troubled.

There had never been such a precedent in the Holy Son Grand Competition.

Just at this moment, the Lord of Blissful Demons on the platform stood up and said loudly, "We are currently in a golden age. If one does not learn to be flexible, one can only be eliminated."

"If all the Sequence Disciples have no objections, what is wrong with letting them change the rules?"

Hearing the words of the Lord of Blissful Demons, the Elder turned his gaze toward the other Sequence Disciples.

It was clear that he was asking for their opinion.

The Sequence Disciples were now full of Battle Intent toward Xiang Tiange. After all, it would be strange if what he had just said didn't provoke their ire.

After seeing the Elder's gaze, they all nodded.

"Elder!"

At this moment, Xiang Tiange spoke again: "There is only one position of Saint, and fighting them one by one is too slow. It will also waste the time of those observing the ceremony. Since that is the case, let me deal with all of them."

"What?!"

Even though Gong Xiang had a good relationship with Xiang Tiange, hearing him say this now, he was almost laughed to anger.

"Good fellow, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

"Even if you are a Sequence Disciple, isn't challenging all of us a joke?"

"We are all of the same generation, and there isn't a huge gap in cultivation between us."

"Fighting above one's level is the exclusive domain of Prodigies, but who among those present isn't a Prodigy?"

"You want to challenge everyone? That is simply seeking death!!!"

The remaining few Sequence Disciples all looked at Xiang Tiange with unkind eyes.

After yesterday's screening, there were now only six people left, including Xiang Tiange. Excluding Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange, that left four Sequence Disciples.

But don't forget one thing: these remaining four people all passed yesterday's duels!

In other words, these four people were the elites among the Sequence Disciples!

Xiang Tiange wants to take on four?

Not to mention the Elder and those Sequence Disciples being stunned, even the onlookers on the high platform were dumbfounded.

Everyone had seen the performance of those Sequence Disciples yesterday; they were definitely the cream of the crop among the younger generation.

Facing this group of Prodigies, Xiang Tiange still "boastfully" proposed a one-on-four; he simply didn't know how high the sky was.

"Good, good, good..."

Jiang Yunmei stood out and said the word "good" three times: "Xiang Tiange, you want to take on the four of us, right? Then come and try it! I have long wanted to challenge your position as the first-ranked Sequence Disciple!"

"That's right!"

Nangong Qian also spoke at the same time: "Since you, Xiang Tiange, have said so, if we don't all go up together, it seems like we would be doing you a disservice. I have no problem with it."

The remaining Gong Xiang and another Sequence Disciple also nodded simultaneously.

They wanted to make Xiang Tiange pay the price for his own arrogance.

One against four?

Then let's try it!

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the Elder naturally had none either.

He then nodded and said, "Since you all have no objections, then let's change the rules of the battle. Starting now, this arena is the battlefield. The last person standing is the winner!!!"

Hearing this, the Sequence Disciples and Lin Ye, the Holy Son Candidate, all nodded.

"Good!"

The Elder was also excited. This was the first time they had such a Holy Son Grand Competition, and it would definitely be full of excitement.

Moreover, Lin Ye also nodded, which meant he would also participate in this battle!

Xiang Tiange and Lin Ye, these two Prodigies most favored by the Sect, were going to take on all the Sequence Disciples at this moment.

How could such a scene not make people excited!

The Elder slowly retreated from the arena, then pinched seals with both hands.

With a bang, spiritual energy exploded on the arena!

This was the signal for the battle to begin!

All the Sequence Disciples charged toward Xiang Tiange at the first moment.

It wasn't that they had no desire to fight Lin Ye, but at this moment, Xiang Tiange was the one who was most hated. The battle with Lin Ye could wait until later!

The urgent task was to eliminate this arrogant number one of the Sequence Disciples!

Boom, boom, boom...
