Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking around at the few disciples present, Tong Shan was at a loss.

After all, those who could stand here were all carefully selected disciples. Anyone who was replaced at this moment would be very unconvinced.

“Are there any of you willing to withdraw from this competition?” after pondering for a while, Tong Shan asked them with a bitter smile.

Although he was a Branch Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, none of the disciples present were disciples of the Branch Pavilion of Jingyang. If this matter was not handled properly, it was likely that the Branch Pavilion behind them would not be happy with him in the future.

No one responded, and the atmosphere in the hall was silent.

Everyone’s expressions were not very good. It was obvious that they did not want to be replaced.

“If anyone takes the initiative to give up on this competition’s quota, I, Tong Shan, will owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, as long as you don’t violate the rules, I will give you a certain amount of help.”

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Tong Shan helplessly spoke once more.

Hearing these words, a few people’s eyes flickered. It was obvious that they were already tempted. After all, it was a favor from a Branch Pavilion Master, so it still carried some weight.

However, even though they were tempted, none of them took the initiative to give up.

Time passed bit by bit, and Gu Xi gradually became impatient. He came here to understand the rules of the Grand Sect Competition and participate in it. He did not come here to watch them squirm.

“Since you can’t make a decision, I’ll do it for you,” Gu Xi said calmly. His gaze swept across the group and finally landed on Zhang Zhan. He grinned and pointed at the latter, “I think you should give up your spot.”

“What did you say?!” Zhang Zhan was instantly enraged. He had already been filled with anger towards Gu Xi because of what had happened just now. Now that Gu Xi was looking for trouble with him, he naturally could not bear it.

“That’s right, it should be you. With your strength, it’s just a disgrace for you to participate in the competition. Why don’t you give up your spot so that you won’t embarrass your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?”

Gu Xi nodded. It seemed that the matter had been settled with just a few words.

Anyway, he did not like Zhang Zhan. He had to seize the opportunity to kick this guy out of the team so that he would not be annoyed by him in the future.

“You’re f*cking courting death!”

Zhang Zhan cursed angrily and rolled up his sleeves, ready to make a move.

However, before he could take a few steps forward, he was pulled back by Hou Yu. Hou Yu gestured for him to calm down, and then his gaze fell on Gu Xi. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “I think you should be the other person from the Branch Pavilion of Jingyang, right?”

Gu Xi did not answer him, which was a tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Hou Yu’s expression darkened, but he was not as impulsive as Zhang Zhan. Instead, he turned to look at Tong Shan, cupped his hands to him, and said in a low voice, “Since Pavilion Master Tong has proposed to take two spots, it’s not impossible.”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhan could not help but look at Hou Yu in surprise.

Hou Yu did not seem to see it, instead, he continued to speak on his own, “Just like what this brother said, since we’re going to participate in the grand tournament, we must have the corresponding strength. Otherwise, it would only be a disgrace to our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Moreover, this brother suggested that Junior Brother Zhang Zhan should voluntarily give up the quota. It’s better to let the two of them have a duel. The loser will voluntarily give up the quota for the Grand Sect Tournament.”

Zhang Zhan heaved a sigh of relief after Hou Yu finished his sentence. He then smiled at Gu Xi provocatively, as if he could not wait to fight.

“Umm…” Tong Shan frowned and shifted his gaze to Gu Xi.

“That’s good. Those who have the ability will get the spot.” Tang Conglin, who had been silent all this while, spoke up at this moment.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll make a fool of myself.” Gu Xi shrugged and appeared in the center of the hall with a tap of his toes.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhan, who had been impatient for a long time, also appeared in front of Gu Xi. He grinned at the latter, “I hope your ability is as tough as your mouth. Don’t disappoint me.”

“Why don’t you try?” Gu Xi chuckled. He looked extremely relaxed, as if he did not care about this duel at all. In other words, he had full confidence that he could easily defeat Zhang Zhan.

He could not even bring himself to get serious when facing a guy who was not even in the Saint stage.

At the same time, Tong Shan’s figure appeared between the two of them. He glanced at Gu Xi, as if telling him not to be ruthless. On the other hand, Gu Xi raised his head to look at the sky, it was as if he had not received the signal.

“Don’t hurt the peace.” Tong Shan shook his head with a bitter smile. He could only hope that Gu Xi would not cripple Zhang Zhan. After all, the latter was a disciple of his own sect.

“Don’t worry, Pavilion Master Tong. After all, you brought him here. I will show mercy to him.” Zhang Zhan chuckled and rubbed his fists, eager to give it a try.

Hearing this, Tong Shan’s expression became a little strange. However, he could not say anything at this time, so he could only smile and nod.

“I hope so. Let the duel begin,” Tong Shan said in a deep voice, and then he disappeared from where he was.

As soon as he finished his words, Zhang Zhan moved at an extremely fast speed. His feet stomped on the ground, and his whole body shot out like an arrow leaving a bowstring. A wave of extraordinary spiritual energy spread out from his body, it gathered on his fist.

“I don’t know if you can take this punch!” The distance between him and Gu Xi was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Zhan could not help but laugh out loud.

In his opinion, at this distance, Gu Xi had no chance of dodging at all. And he did not hold back with this punch of his. Although it would not kill Gu Xi on the spot, it would definitely injure him severely.

On the other hand, Gu Xi did not show any signs of dodging.

“He’s not even going to dodge? He’s underestimating Zhang Zhan too much.” Seeing this scene, Hou Yu laughed out loud.

Although Zhang Zhan’s strength had not reached the Saint stage yet, the body-refining cultivation technique he cultivated was nothing to scoff at. Even with his current early Saint stage, Hou Yu did not dare to face Zhang Zhan’s full strength punch head-on.

It was a very unwise decision to confront Zhang Zhan head-on.

Everyone present was very familiar with the strength of Zhang Zhan’s body. Looking at Gu Xi, who was indifferent to all of this, everyone was ready to watch a good show.

Bang!

Soon, the muffled sound of flesh colliding rang out.

Many gazes gathered at the two people’s positions, and everyone was stunned.
