132: Chapter 132 Qin Shouchong's Pre-Battle Analysis, Legendary Group Extraordinary Battle Rules

This man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, revealing muscular arms with veins bulging out in an exaggerated manner.

After the giant sea whale approached the coastline, he suddenly shot into the sky, flew toward West Sea Island, and then landed on the shore.

"Archie!"

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

Master Qin walked up with a smile on his face.

"Master Shouchong."

Archie cupped his fists and also smiled, saying, "Not bad. Everything is fine, except that I still can't comprehend the Unity of Heaven and Man and cannot become a Cosmic Martial Artist."

"By the way, it's been ten years, are you still leading the Xia Kingdom team this time?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Master Qin sighed helplessly, "The ocean is too dangerous. Without the strength of a Peak Flying Sky level, I wouldn't dare to hand over the team."

"I heard that the battle rules for this Ocean Gathering have already been released, and they don't seem very friendly to your Xia Kingdom. Do you have confidence?"

Archie looked behind Master Qin with great interest.

His gaze lingered on Wang Jinhua for a moment, he nodded secretly, and then looked at Fang Zhuo, frowning slightly.

"Is this also a Transcendent representative from your Legendary Group? How old is he?"

After exchanging a glance with Master Qin, Fang Zhuo said, "Replying to the senior, 21."

"So young."

Archie clicked his tongue in wonder, "Your Xia Kingdom is truly a land of outstanding people. Ten years ago, there was Wang Jinhua, and this time, there's another Fang Zhuo."

"Senior, you flatter me."

Fang Zhuo said respectfully.

The feeling Archie gave him was not as powerful as Master Qin, but judging from Master Qin's attitude, it seemed that Archie was stronger.

A martial artist at the Peak Flying Sky level was still some distance away from him!

"I'll take my people to prepare for the battle first, let's chat another day."

Master Qin cupped his hands.

The Xia Kingdom group went together to West Sea Island to handle their check-in.

As one of the powerful martial arts nations in the Ocean Gathering, West Sea Island reserved a separate villa area for the Xia Kingdom every year.

Fang Zhuo took his family and moved into a villa. After putting away their luggage, he quickly rushed to Master Qin's residence.

...

In the small courtyard.

When Fang Zhuo arrived, He Kui and Chen Lingguang had already arrived early, and Wang Jinhua arrived right on his heels.

"The battle ranking rules for this Ocean Gathering are the same as the last session, they haven't changed." Master Qin looked at the four of them.

Next to him, Manager Jiang Zhou was also sitting there. Both of their expressions were somewhat solemn.

Wang Jinhua asked in surprise, "Still a Cage Melee?"

Seeing Master Qin nod in confirmation, he looked at Fang Zhuo, "You're in for a tough fight this time."

"Cage Melee?" Fang Zhuo was curious.

The two Flying Martial Artists, Master Qin and Manager Jiang Zhou, as well as Wang Jinhua, didn't seem very optimistic. It sounded like these rules were very unfavorable to him?

"This Ocean Gathering has 168 martial arts nations participating in the Legendary Group. Except for the five major powerful martial arts nations, the other martial arts nations only have one contestant slot."

"A total of 178 Transcendent Martial Artists, all of whom are the backbone combat strength of Blue Star."

Master Qin looked at Fang Zhuo and explained:

"In the Cage Melee, you 178 people will be placed on an arena to attack each other without regard for factions. For the first seventeen days, the fighting will pause each day once ten people are eliminated."

"On the eighteenth day, the remaining top eight will start the finals, which will still be a Cage Melee, continuously eliminating people until only one person is left!"

"Sounds not bad." Fang Zhuo understood. Under these rules, the ranking was simple; the first to be eliminated was the last place, and so on.

After a little thought, he realized the key point and asked, "Master Shouchong, are you worried that we will be targeted by people teaming up?"

Fang Zhuo hesitated for a moment, but still included He Kui and Chen Lingguang.

"It's not a worry," Master Qin said helplessly, "it's a certainty."

"Don't we have any helpers?" Fang Zhuo asked in surprise.

Although with his current strength, he would most likely be able to sweep through the Transcendents in this Legendary Group, having helpers or not wasn't a big issue.

However, Master Qin's expression made the Xia Kingdom's situation seem a bit bleak...

"We do, but this time is different." Master Qin explained:

"The Small Island Nation and America are in cahoots. This time, both countries have each invited Transcendent geniuses from the New Moon Group and the Future Group."

"Takeuchi Miko and Anthony are both strong. Their normal combat power increase exceeds 60 times. Once they use their Martial Aspect abilities, it can be even higher! Your strength is close, and the three of you are considered the strongest three in the Legendary Group of this Ocean Gathering."

"Even if our friends in the Xia Kingdom have the heart, they lack the strength. The gap in combat power between other Transcendents and you three is too large."

Chen Lingguang also added, "Yes, Old He and I can only help at the front, trying our best to send you into the top eight, but we definitely won't be able to make it in."

"Once in the top eight, if Takeuchi Miko and Anthony join forces to eliminate you first, there's likely no one who can help you. With the combat power of the three of you, no one else will be able to intervene."

"So that's how it is..." Fang Zhuo nodded, then looked at Master Qin and asked, "By the way, must the schedule for the Legendary Group last eighteen days?"

"Generally speaking, that's the case." Master Qin looked puzzled, wondering why Fang Zhuo would ask that.

In previous Ocean Gatherings, whenever the Cage Melee rule was used, the daily battles were extremely bloody, but they would all stop after ten people were eliminated.

All Transcendent contestants wanted to preserve their strength as much as possible, only truly going all out until reaching the finals day, or even until only the last two people remained.

"You want to eliminate as many people as possible early on?" Manager Jiang Zhou was somewhat familiar with Fang Zhuo's personality.

"If I eliminate everyone on the first day... will the other matches of the Peak Group start early?" Fang Zhuo nodded and asked.

This Cage Melee lasts eight hours every day. The battleground is not large, located in a forest on West Sea Island, so for Transcendent Martial Artists, there isn't actually much room to hide.

Fang Zhuo felt that if he went all out, it wouldn't be a big problem to sweep through the Transcendents of the Legendary Group in one day.

The key is, if the Legendary Group finishes early, will the Peak Group start early?

If it starts early, not to mention that he wouldn't have time to cultivate his Body Control to the Heaven-Reaching level, Wang Jinhua's injuries wouldn't be able to fully recover either.

"You want to eliminate everyone on the first day?! "

Manager Jiang Zhou was still relatively calm; he knew Fang Zhuo's nature, but he just glared at Fang Zhuo irritably, "If you really have that strength, that's fine. The time for the Peak Group is set for the 29th, and that will not change."

That's good! Fang Zhuo smiled, having made a decision instantly.

"Fang Zhuo, your strength in the Legendary Group is very strong. With Inner Scene Perfection control, combined with the fifth level of the Thunder Fire Blade, your combat power increase is as high as 84 times."

"It can be said that you are even a cut above Takeuchi Miko and Anthony."

"But if these two join forces, and a few more people surround you, if you are not careful, you will be cleared out in one go."

Master Qin felt that Fang Zhuo was somewhat unreliable, too young and frivolous! Even more arrogant than Wang Jinhua was back then...

However, he could also understand. After all, he was only 21 years old and had already become a level 45 Transcendent Martial Artist; anyone would inevitably be arrogant.

Master Shouchong... it's not the fifth level of the Thunder Fire Blade, it's the sixth!

Fang Zhuo had a mind to tell Master Qin, but after glancing at He Kui and Chen Lingguang beside him, he felt it wasn't necessary. Everything would naturally be revealed tomorrow.
