Chapter 885 The Second Trial Is Crap
For the second trial, things were not eventful when compared with Ji Yuan’s team even though it was also not that eventful to begin with.
Although none of the teams had broken into a life and death fight like the one that had happened to Ji Yuan’s team but almost everyone was arguing hotly before the start of the battle.
It was because they had so little time to decide on their fight strategy, which actually required them to have much more time.
For example, the first group of champions to fight would have 4 days of cultivation rest and this would be helpful to them for their next trial. That was why no one wants to be the last group.
But none of them really want to be the first group too because they had no idea what they would be facing and they did not know if the strategies that they were using was actually the correct one?
Being in the second group to battle in the battle arena was actually the choice of many of the champions as it was somewhat in-between but it was also the group that many of the champions were arguing that they should be in.
The question of dividing the champions into group 1,2 or 3 among the 6 champions became the instant hot topic because everyone had only 30 minutes to decide!
This was shocking to most of the champions as they could even argue the whole day on this.
And what about how many champions in team 1, 2 or 3 then?
Again, this was another tricky problem!
And they got only 30 minutes to quickly decide!
Is the trial playing a joke on them?
This was what they were all thinking!
The Trial Spirit warned those teams that have not decided on their champions for the first battle in the last 5 minutes, “If you are unable to decide then I shall have to randomly pick 2 champions from among the 6 of you to fight in the battle arena.”
The last 5 minutes were the messiest as the champions argue why they should be the first to fight and flattering the strong champions among them to have a go first.
“If we send a weak champion to fight first, then all we need to do is to win the other two battles right?”
“Stupid! If one of the champions is dead, we lose -1 Point! And even if we are able to win the 2nd and the 3rd fight, it is pointless!”
“Shall we send 3 champions to fight in the first battle? They can also look out for each other. Then we reserve the best champions for the second and third battle?”
“Even though, it may appear that we only need to win 2 rounds but we can’t afford to even lose a single champion!”
“This trial is as shit as the last trial…”
“At least in the last trial, we still have a chance…”
“Actually, we are all survivors of the last trial…”
The Trial Spirit announced, “1 minute.”
Many of the champions: …
In the end, the Trial Spirit at the behest of the Goddess Ai Tina announced. “To make the fight more interesting for the speculators to follow, those teams that are ready can fight first. As for the rest, you will be given an additional 2 hours’ time to decide on your battle strategy.”
This brought a last minute relief to many of the teams because they had literally wasted 30 minutes of their time in arguing and have not picked a champion for their first group yet.𝒏𝒪𝒱𝓔𝓁𝑵𝓮xt.𝑪𝒪𝐦
But then, even 2 hours were not enough.
Naturally, one of the first teams to fight in the battle arena was Ji Yuan and he was alone.
Also, he had finished his fight faster than the speculators could finish their snacks in the colosseums.
However for many of the teams, their fights were not as quick as Ji Yuan.
Some took as long as 3 hours and the next shortest time was 30 minutes time.
There were plenty of curses from the teams.
“Crap! We’ve just lost one champion!”
“Our champions are all wiped out… this means that we have lost…”
“What!!! These profound monsters are seriously too powerful for us to handle…”
It was obvious that not everyone was happy with their team performances and even the loss of one champion was enough to cause a loud wailing sound.
At the end of the day, the teams that had lost the battle complaint the loudest because they had lost all motivations to fight for the second and the third battle!
In the Greater Spirit Realm, the Goddess Ai Tina looked a little sheepish as she looked at the other immortal divine consorts, “Hey, don’t look at me like this. I must admit that this is a little out of my calculations. This is the first time that I am organizing the trials too so there are bound to be a little imperfection in it.”
She added with a wry smile, “Trust me, my faithful immortal divine consorts. I will only get better. There won’t be a second time!”
Tang Li smiled weakly: This sounds a little too familiar…
In the end when the first battle was finally over, the Trial Spirit announced to all the teams. “Well… there is a rule that I’ve forgotten to mention. If your team has lost in the second trial but you have won your battles, you will still be eligible to go to the next trial. 100 Champions among you will be randomly selected.”
This more or less pacified the teams after the first battle had ended.
After the first battle had ended, many of the teams were re-planning their strategies to send 3 champions instead.
Believed it or not, most of the teams were still arguing over their groups from night to the next day, because everyone wanted to seize the best advantages.
“3 Champions are the safest. As long as we win our fight, then we can be eligible to go to the third trial…”
“Woes to the dead champions that have lost the first round in the battle arena…”
“They have paid with it with their lives so that we can all live…”
“It is most unfortunately to the dead champions that they didn’t get to know about this hidden rule before they fight…”
“Luckily I have chosen to stay behind, haha…”
“Second group should be the safest…”
“We can’t form a 3 champion team for the second and third group… we have only 6 champions and not 9 champions…”
“Crap! We have already sent 3 champions to fight in the first round…”
“Erm, do you think that there may be more hidden rules tomorrow?”
Naturally none of these problems were plaquing Ji Yuan’s team at this moment because Ji Yuan had solo the first round and they still have 4 unused champions.
But Ji Yuan’s team still have to decided who to go for tomorrow’s fight.
Bu Danwang was smiling, “Luckily we have the brilliant leadership of Maiden Ling Feiyue to lead us once again. She is right to let the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan to fight first.”
Ling Feiyue giggled softly, “This is nothing. It is just a suggestion that everyone agreed to send Ji Yuan to fight.”
Ji Yuan took an unpleasant look at Bu Danwang as he thought: Ling Feiyue is mine! Stop flattering to her!
Xiang Li giggled: Big Brother, maybe Maiden Ling Feiyue is the one that is helping you with the trials all this while in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. So far, you have no issue with your trial with her around.
Ji Yuan: …
Xiao Muhan had suddenly said with a weak voice, “Can I don’t go tomorrow?”
Ji Yuan chuckled with a bad grin, “Sure!”
Xiao Muhan looked quite relieved and he was smiling, “Haha…”
Ji Yuan added a loud chuckle, “For tomorrow battle, we shall have Maiden Lixue, Maiden Feiyue and Brother Bu Danwang to fight. For the last battle, we shall have Brother Xiao Muhan to fight on his own then.”
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiao Muhan: …
He bitterly said, “I will lose the 3rd round, aren’t you afraid of failing the trial?”
Ji Yuan chuckled loudly, “Didn’t you hear what the Trial Spirit has just said? There will be 100 champions that will be selected for the third trial anyway. Hahaha…”
Xiao Muhan: …
Ji Yuan laughed jovially as he remarked to his team, “I love this trial. Haha…”
