Under Fang Yuan’s repeated emphasis, Zhou Chang and Yao Guang finally decided to adopt Fang Yuan’s battle plan and not make any decisions on their own.

At the same time, Fang Yuan continued to exhort Gu Tianqing.

“Tianqing, do you know why I’m not letting you go on stage in the second round?”

“Hey, I know. You are just afraid that if I succeeded, the Shadowless Sect would lose face, right?” Was Gu Tianqing really joking right now?

Fang Yuan felt strange. He turned around and saw Gu Tianqing smiling.

“Can’t you be more serious? How old are you? Why are you still smiling? You’re really…”

Fang Yuan looked at Gu Tianqing with a helpless expression. This was clearly a serious discussion of battle tactics!

“Alright, alright, I understand.”

“Senior, you’re doing this to make the other party think that we’ll definitely send out our strongest members in the second round and win the match directly!”

“What’s so difficult about it? You’re really… still worried about me!”

Gu Tianqing looked at him like he was asking the obvious.

“Not bad, but you’re not right yet!” Fang Yuan commented at the end.

“Ah? Are there any other points? Is it more complicated than this? Senior, are you trying to trick me?” Gu Tianqing looked at Fang Yuan like he did this on purpose. The implementation would definitely not be so complicated.

Fang Yuan continued, “Then you’re wrong. This time, I’m not joking!”

“Mm, then spell it out for me!”

“Heh, you don’t believe me! Come, take notes!” Fang Yuan saw that Gu Tianqing was still stubborn, so he decided to teach him a lesson.

“This Shadowless Sect is a new sect guarding the border of the Yan Shen Empire. You should be able to detect it, right?”

“I definitely know about this!” Gu Tianqing quickly said. His tone was full of contempt for someone.

“Then, for such a sect, if they really only have a large area and don’t have a deep foundation, would the emperor of the Yan Shen Empire allow them to directly participate in the competition?”

Fang Yuan continued to ask.

“Mm, that seems to make sense. That’s right. Since they came, it must be because they have a certain level of strength. There must be someone in their sect whose strength is worthy of the Emperor’s eyes!”

“If that’s the case, then what would they do in the second round when they lost the first round?” Fang Yuan continued to guide Gu Tianqing as he asked.

“Isn’t that obvious? They’ll definitely use their strongest force. If they lose, they’ll go straight home! Do they still have the nerve to stay here after they’ve reached zero twice in a row?”

“Sigh, that’s right. If that really happens, this Shadowless Sect will really become a joke!”

“So, Senior, what you’re really thinking is…”

Gu Tianqing seemed to have thought of something, but he did not dare to say it out loud.

“Hahaha, I did not think of anything, you deduced it yourself!”

Fang Yuan laughed heartily, turning his gaze to the competition stage.

The judges were already in position. The second round between the Gu Immortal Sect and Shadowless Sect was about to begin!

…

“Gu Immortal Sect versus Shadowless Sect, second round starts now, the current score is 1:0!”

As the judge gave the order, the four people on the stage moved at the same time.

Yao Guang quickly used a support Gu worm, and for a moment, a large number of protective barriers were placed on Zhou Chang’s body.

Zhou Chang also shouted loudly, and using his own defensive Gu worm, a bright golden barrier rose from under his feet, protecting both of them.

The other party obviously did not expect such a move, but they also calmed down. Thinking of the secret weapon their leader had given them, they let out a sigh of relief.

We can definitely win this round!

Victory belongs to our Shadowless Sect!

With this thought in mind, the two from the Shadowless Sect launched a fierce attack on the shield that Zhou Chang and Yao Guang were in!

Because Zhou Chang and Yao Guang had been very obedient to Fang Yuan’s instructions from the start of the battle, they had directly adopted a defensive strategy, thus making it unnecessary for the Shadowless Sect to use large numbers of Gu worms.

Thus, what they could use now were some of their own offensive methods. Among them were the black points of light that Te Long had used to attack Fang Yuan previously, as well as other forms of hidden weapons, such as triangular awls or long, narrow silver needles, and many other types.

Of course, with their offensive power alone, it was impossible for them to move Zhou Chang and Yao Guang’s combination!

The strongest defense duo deserves their reputation for a reason.

No matter what kind of attack they launched, when their claws landed on Zhou Chang’s golden barrier, they would only cause a small ripple at most, not even a small splash!

The development of the battle had entered a stalemate!

The two people from the Shadowless Sect were anxious. This kind of battle was obviously different from what they had imagined!

Even with the combination of Fang Yuan and Wan Qian, which produced such a powerful attack, they felt that it should not be qualified on the stage, but it was still more or less their enemy’s attack method.

At most, they couldn’t accept it, but that was the end of it.

However, the battle style of these two was something they had never seen before!

For a moment, they felt flustered and panicked.

At this moment, below the stage, the team leader let out a ‘hmph!’ sound.

This caused the hearts of the two Shadowless Sect members who were still on the stage to tremble.

“The leader isn’t satisfied!”

“What should we do?”

“But we’ve never encountered such enemies before. How should we deal with them?”

“Why don’t we use the trump card that the leader gave us?”

“But if we use it directly, won’t the leader be dissatisfied? Won’t he think that the two of us are useless?”

“Aiya, forget it. The current situation has reached the point where we can’t make the decisions!”

“Use it directly!”

“If this continues, we will not even have the spirit essence to launch an attack! We will really make leader angry and disappoint him!”

“The Shadowless Sect will directly fail and return home. Such a scene is simply unimaginable!”

Just as the contents of the conversation between themselves and the other party appeared in their minds one after another, the two of them had already exchanged a glance.

And from the other party’s eyes, they had similarly read out a message!

That was, right now, they would directly use the trump card that the leader had given them and use that Gu worm!
