965 The Gathering (1/2)

It was all well and good that Yun Yang was confident, but how could the General Commerce League be free of worry?

The Residence of Nine Supremes' current situation was as plain as daylight. There was only a handful of them. Their top combat force could probably fight the lower class Celestial Luck Banner sects' least capable higher authorities, but once the latter was to bring out their top forces or if they came face to face with the General Commerce League's combined forces, the Residence of Nine Supremes was wholly inadequate.

Their disciples recruited were unusually weak in their given talents. None came close to competing.

As for the Celestial Luck Banner contest, there were plenty of rounds to fight, including a one-to-one battle of one's best combat force. The said round was usually attended by each school's best fighter. Then, it was the higher-level combat force between two sects; there were basically three rounds, but it sometimes depended on the situation. Following that would be the battle among the schools' core disciples; at least five rounds would take place while the party without a contender would be considered having surrendered. Last but not least, the final combat formation battle consisted of an all-out combined technique by one sect's elite combat forces.

Therefore, the grand meet was said to have four rounds, but there were actually more than ten fights in each round.

As stated, the norm for the core disciples battle was best three out of five, while the challenger could only be qualified to enter the next round of higher-level combat force after winning this round. The higher-level combat force battle was usually best two out of three and similarly, the challenger must win in order to proceed to the next level of the meet. Losing the round meant an immediate loss of the subsequent challenging qualification.

What followed would be the battle of combat formations. This round was not as strict, as both the winner and loser could enter the final battle. However, the combat formation battle was usually the round with the most casualties among the four bouts. Contenders from both sides would suffer equally, as after this round, whether it was the challenger or the defender, both would lose their combat forces.

The final battle of the top was usually participated by the strongest forces of a sect to draw an end to the banner contest.

Winning three of the four rounds would allow one sect to acquire the Celestial Luck Banner through the flag contest, but a newly ascended sect that won all four rounds would earn the chance to immediately challenge a higher level. If the sect had only won three rounds out of the four, it could only attain the qualification for the last ranked lower class Celestial Luck Banner; the school would have to wait three years later to fight again if it wanted to go a step further.

In other words, if a school could maintain four wins all the time, it could charge its way up continuously – as long as the time gap did not exceed three months. Theoretically, the possibility to obtain many Celestial Luck Banners in a short amount of time existed.

The issue at hand was, instead, the fact that the Residence of Nine Supremes was miserably inadequate!

In the eyes of Lang Fantian and group, at least, Yun Yang's Residence of Nine Supremes had no hope of even winning any round.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

When a round of victory was already too much to ask for, what was more, the Celestial Luck Banner or even winning all four rounds and continuously challenging the higher ranking Celestial Luck Banner schools?

Shi Wuchen and friends had an excellent cultivation base, but they were about the level of core disciples in the higher-ranked lower class Celestial Luck Banner sects. There were only a few days left before the grand meet now. Could they achieve a breakthrough within such a short time?

Even if one or two of them were graced by Lady Luck and did advance, it was simply impossible for all of them to attain breakthroughs and increase their levels, thus eliminating the last ranked lower class flag sect, Cangwu Union!

Lang Fantian left in worry.

”I'll take at most seven days – I'll be back!”

Lang Fantian and colleagues soared into the sky and left speedily towards the south.

…

Song Changgong and Li Yixin stayed in the Residence of Nine Supremes. Song Changgong was well behaved, only staying in the house that Yun Yang had appointed to him.

Of course, the main reason was due to his brother. Day to night, he cleaned his sworn brother's meridians with his refined mystical Qi. He almost never stopped, not at all showing signs of fatigue.
