When Wang Lu appeared in the audience stand in the Central Arena of Immortal One Area, the horrified eyes almost pierced him through.
The Elders of Heavenly Sacred Hall, the young cultivators who came to watch the fight with their Elders… and even the ancient Earth Immortals who sat not far away from them all turned their eyes and incredulously stared at Wang Lu.
Wang Lu himself was a bit embarrassed by this. ”... Why are you guys seeing me as if I've just stolen your wife?”
Thereupon, people turned their attention back to the arena.
Faced with the four slaughtering devils, the three girls Liu Li, Zhu Shiyao, and Quan Zouhua looked delicate and fragile… Just when the audiences were stunned, they had already entered the fighting arena while remaining calm and unperturbed under the pressure of the Earth Immortals.
It was just that, the more the audience saw this scene, the more confused they were.
The Red-robed Patriarch couldn't help but shout, ”Wang Lu, you are one of the contestants in this challenge, shouldn't you be with them in the arena rather than here?”
Wang Lu laughed and said, ”But I don't need to participate in this challenge at all.”
”You don't need to participate? Aren't you the main force?”
Wang Lu explained, ”The this challenge used the best of five rule. Two months ago, my Master has already proven herself, so there are still four matches left. If we could win half of them, then victory belongs to us. The order of our appearances is Little Liu Li, Zhu Shiyao, Quan Zouhua, and finally my turn. As long as two of them could win their respective match, I don't have to participate… This logic should be very simple.”
The Red-robed Patriarch was almost vomited by those words. ”So you also know that the premise is that they could win! What if they lose then?”
”Their chances of winning are over ninety percent, so there's nothing to worry about.”
Hearing this, the jaw of Red-robed Patriarch almost fell down. ”More than ninety percent? Are you kidding me?”
Wang Lu shrugged his shoulders. ”I'm just telling the truth.”
Several Earth Immortals managed to hear this and immediately their eyes turned fierce.
More than ninety percent chance of winning?
If this was said by someone else, they could just laugh it off. Any normal person would think like this: The only side who had the overwhelming advantage and over ninety percent chance of victory was the ancient Earth Immortal side.
However, the person who said those words just now was Wang Lu, which they simply could not ignore. Because no matter how many negative assessments were there of Wang Lu, there was no denying the fact that as long as he said it, there were a few things that could be fulfilled.
Could it be that, after several months of intensive training, the girls of Spirit Sword Sect really had enough strength to overwhelm the ancient Earth Immortal?
Purely from the theoretical point of view, it was not impossible. Calculation Immortal Lu Biechen once calculated it. If the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals spared no efforts in investing all its resources in a few people, then it was really possible to create several abnormal Jindan and Yuanying Stage cultivators in a short period of time. Of which only the man in black and a few other people in the Earth Immortal side could contend. The rest, such as Xuan Mo and Bai Ze, would not be their opponent.
However, that was just in theory. In practice, the side effects that needed to be taken into consideration were too serious. First was the large amount of resource loss—no matter how rich in resources the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was, the resources needed to create such abnormal Jindan were always limited. Secondly, spoiling things by being too helpful would ruin the future of that cultivator. And with such talents as Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao, destroying their future for a mere competition was not worth it.
Taking into account these factors, at that time, when Lu Biechen proposed that the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals could create abnormal Jindan and Yuanying to win the competition points, the other Earth Immortals didn't think too much of it. This was also not in line with Wang Lu's style.
However, right now, perhaps what he was doing was exactly the opposite of it.
Or could it be that Wang Lu was just bluffing, trying to disrupt the position of the other party?
It was true that Wang Lu's words were rarely unfulfilled—but only if he was serious about it. If it was just for scheming, then his words naturally didn't need to be taken seriously, perhaps even need to be understood in reverse—perhaps Wang Lu didn't plan to let Liu Li and the others win, and that his secret weapon was in other places?
Thinking to this, the mood of the Earth Immortals turned complicated and heave. Because they all suddenly found out that Wang Lu, with just one sentence, had already disrupted their position. Each of the Earth Immortals naturally had their own ideas on how to deal with it, so their strategy would naturally be different. If one was cautious, one might suggest postponing the challenge, but if one was radical, he or she might suggest Little Poison Immortal and the others on the arena to attack as soon as possible, to let Wang Lu's ninety percent chance of winning be damned. Soon, the quarrel caused by this disagreement became more and more intense.
All of this was just because of that unexpected statement from Wang Lu.
Previously, if someone said that a Jindan Stage cultivator could have such a huge influence on these ancient Earth Immortals, it would've been treated as a joke. But now, few people would be able to laugh.
Wang Lu's magnificent five victories in a row, in the end, caused no small influence on the morale of ancient Earth Immortals.
However, in the audience stand, just when the Earth Immortals camp began to fall into chaos, the divine needle that could control the ocean promptly appeared.
”If you guys really have such formidable power, then let us see it.”
One sentence from the man in black and the quarrel immediately stopped.
Correct, the challenge hadn't even started yet, but they had already turned into a mess, this was too unsightly. Whether Wang Lu really had a way to assure the victory or it was just a bluff, at least they needed to see it first. This was not a one win victory after all. In this kind of best of five battle, the ancient Earth Immortals still had room for mediation. There was also no need to worry and thus fell into Wang Lu's rhythm at all.
The man in black coldly said, ”If there's no other problem, let's start the match.”
Wang Lu smiled and said, ”Very well. But, you only sent these four small fries in this challenge, don't you want to participate yourself?”
