Chapter 392 New Rules of Competition
When Nangong Xi and his friends arrived at the competition square, they found that it was already crowded.
Most people come to see the competition of strength.
Huo Lan arrived early with another team from the Dark Temple.
When he saw Nangong Xi and the others coming over, he immediately walked towards them.
He first bowed to Shen Yao and then greeted Nangong Xi and the others.
At this time, people from other forces had different expressions on their faces when they saw Shen Yao actually appeared with the people from the Dark Temple.
Shen Yao walked directly to the seat that belonged to the Lord of his continent and sat down.
Nangong Xi and others, led by Huo Lan, arrived at the location belonging to the Dark Temple.
The strength competition is about to begin...
As per convention, each team has to walk around the stage before the strength competition.
The order of going on stage is based on the ranking obtained in the Death Forest.
Therefore, Nangong Xi and Huo Lan's team will definitely be the first to go up.
"Xixi, you go first." Huo Lan said to Nangong Xi.
"Okay." Nangong Xi didn't act pretentiously. She would have to go sooner or later anyway.
"Please invite the two teams from Dark Temple who won first place in the Death Forest competition to come on stage." The host spoke loudly.
"It turns out the rumors are true."
"What rumors?"
"In the Death Forest competition, two teams from the Dark Temple tied for first place."
"That's not a rumor, we already knew it."
"It seems that the Dark Temple will once again take the lead in this power competition."
"Most likely."
……
After hearing the host's words, people all around started talking.
Nangong Xi led the team in front and walked calmly towards the stage.
Huo Lan and his team followed closely behind.
When everyone saw Nangong Xi leading the team, they started discussing again...
"Why is the Dark Temple team led by a little girl?"
"Yeah, it's really strange. Her strength is only that of a God King. Why is she allowed to lead the team?"
"The key is that they were led by someone with such low ability, how did their team get first place?"
"Need I say more? It must be Master Huo Lan who helped her."
"Master Huo Lan can help her in the Death Forest competition, but he can't help her in this strength competition."
"She will definitely die miserably then."
"Let's just sit back and watch the show."
"By the way, what is her position in the Dark Temple? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Could it be Lord Huo's illegitimate daughter?"
"It seems very likely given her age."
……
From then on, the rumor that Nangong Xi was Huo Congzhi's illegitimate daughter spread like wildfire.
Nangong Xi naturally heard the discussions of these people, but she curled the corners of her mouth indifferently.
After walking around the stage, Nangong Xi led the team to stand in the first position.
Huo Lan followed closely behind and stood in the first position next to Nangong Xi.
"Xixi, some people speculate that you are your uncle's illegitimate daughter." Huo Lan looked at Nangong Xi teasingly.
"Do you think I look like her?" Nangong Xi rolled her eyes at him.
"They are quite similar in that they are dark and cunning." Huo Lan told the truth.
"Huo Lan, I see you want to go into the Museum of Strange People and take a walk around?" Nangong Xi looked at Huo Lan with a dim gaze.
"Xixi, Xixi, I was wrong. You are so innocent and cute, how could you look like your uncle? I was just kidding you." Huo Lan shuddered when he heard Nangong Xi's words.
"Hmph!" Seeing Huo Lan's reaction, Nangong Xi snorted at him.
At this time, other teams came on stage one after another, and Nangong Xi and Huo Lan stopped their conversation.
"Dear contestants, this year Yao Zun has proposed a new rule for the competition. Please listen." said the host.
After hearing the host's words, the scene was noisy...
Nangong Xi looked in the direction of Shen Yao, only to see Shen Yao winking at her.
Nangong Xi rolled her eyes at him.
"What new rules?" Seeing that the host hadn't spoken yet, someone couldn't wait to ask.
Everyone in the Holy Temple of Light, Tianhan Palace, and Wangxiantai had strange looks on their faces when they heard this.
They knew that Shen Yao was very fond of Nangong Xi. Could it be that this new rule was set for Nangong Xi?
Thinking of this, the faces of the three forces all looked very ugly.
"The new rules actually have no impact on the current strength competition. That is, the first place in this Death Forest competition can accept ten challenges. If he wins ten games in a row, he will directly become the champion of this power competition. If he loses one game, he will be eliminated directly. The team that defeats the first place can choose to accept the challenge. Of course, the first place in the Death Forest competition can also choose not to accept the challenge and participate in the competition normally." said the host.
Hearing that this was the new rule, other forces breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they know that it is very difficult to win ten games in a row.
"I wonder how the two teams tied for first place will choose?" The host said and looked at Nangong Xi and Huo Lan.
"Are there any restrictions in the strength competition?" Nangong Xi asked.
"No, everything you have is within your ability." The host shook his head.
"Oh, I see." Nangong Xi touched his chin and thought about whether to play an exciting game.
"I have another question." Nangong Xi raised her head and looked at the host.
"Please speak." The host looked at Nangong Xi with a smile.
"For example, what if there are less than ten teams challenging us?" Nangong Xi asked.
"You can rest assured about this. If there are not enough teams that come forward to challenge, we will draw lots to select the teams to continue the competition." The host replied.
"That's good. I was really worried that not so many teams would have the courage to come on stage to challenge. Then all our previous efforts would be in vain." Nangong Xi muttered.
Everyone:...
Is there something wrong with this girl's brain? With her strength, if she dared to go on stage, there would be a long line of people who wanted to challenge her.
Her worry was obviously unnecessary.
"Huo Lan, why don't you guys just participate in the competition normally, and we'll go up and have some fun. After all, Uncle Huo said that I'm here to gain experience, and he doesn't expect me to win a ranking." Nangong Xi looked at Huo Lan.
"Okay." Huo Lan nodded with a smile.
"Host, we accept the challenge." Nangong Xi said loudly.
After hearing Nangong Xi's words, the scene fell silent for a moment...
In everyone's eyes, Nangong Xi is the type of person who won't cry until she sees the coffin.
Originally everyone thought that Huo Lan would have the courage to accept the challenge, but unexpectedly the person who jumped out was Nangong Xi, whom they least expected.
Naturally, the other people in the team had no objection to Nangong Xi's choice.
The two elders who followed her had a hint of smile in their eyes.
"Please come forward." said the host.
The four elders from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest who were sitting next to Shen Yao looked at Nangong Xi with unspeakable eyes.
Nangong Xi led everyone forward very calmly.
"Is there any team that wants to challenge Miss Nangong's team?" The host looked at all the participating teams passionately.
"Wangxiantai challenge." The leader of Wangxiantai said loudly.
