Zhuowen bowed and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Greetings, Gold Lord!"
Gold Lord didn't care about how Zhuowen addressed him. He asked meaningfully, "If you were given enough time, would you be able to pass the fifteenth stage and above?"
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to think seriously. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not!
The fourteenth stage is too difficult. I kept going in circles and couldn't find the right path!
Even if I were given more time, I might not be able to find the right path. I might fall into an endless loop. "
Gold Lord's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, but he didn't show it.
"You can pass the fourteenth stage by yourself. That's already very impressive!"
Gold Lord said, then turned around and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, the Literary Battle is over. Logically speaking, there's nothing left for me to do!"
"However, the three Family Heads just discussed with me and decided to let me be the host of the Martial Battle!
Of course, I won't interfere with the rules of the Martial Battle. It's all up to the three Family Heads to decide! "
With that, the Gold Lord leaped into the air and landed on the northern tower. With his hands behind his back, he looked down at the arena.
At the same time, the three Family Heads gathered in the center and began to discuss the rules of the Martial Battle.
After a while, Li Yinglong walked back with a gloomy face. On the other hand, Mi Haomiao and Xu Jiying were beaming.
"Family Head, what's wrong?"
Li Ying walked up and saw Li Yinglong's gloomy face. He couldn't help but ask.
Li Zi, Li Yu, and the others also looked at Li Yinglong. They had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"In this Grand Competition, the Xu Long and Xu Qi Families strongly requested to increase the Divine Void Spring's share!
They want to increase it to fifteen! "
Li Yinglong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Li Ying, Li Zi, and the others turned pale with fright.
"Fifteen?
Aren't they going too far? Our Xueshan Family only has 75 Divine Void Mountain Springs, yet they want 60 as soon as they open their mouths. This is going too far! "
Li Ying said angrily.
"Didn't we agree on this long ago?
The share this time is five. Why do they want to increase it to fifteen all of a sudden?
This doesn't conform to the rules of the Grand Competition, right? "
Li Zi said angrily.
Zhuowen revealed a thoughtful expression. When the three great Aristocratic Families Grand Competition was held, it was originally based on the shares of the Divine Void Mountain Springs. Almost every competition would use a fixed share of five Divine Void Mountain Springs as a bargaining chip. After so many competitions, this had never changed.
Now, the Void Long Family and Void Qi Family suddenly wanted to increase their share. This surprised Zhuowen.
Li Yinglong said in a low voice, "In principle, this is indeed against the rules, but Mi Haomiao and Xu Jiying proposed it together, and both of them are willing to take the risk!
The Xu Long Family and Xu Qi Family are both willing to offer 85 Divine Void Springs each. "
"As long as we can obtain first place, we can obtain a share of sixty Divine Void Mountain Springs. If we can obtain second place, we can obtain fifteen Divine Void Mountain Springs in return."
Li Ying frowned and said, "Is Void Lacquer Family crazy?
Wasn't allying with the Xulong Family the same as asking a tiger for its skin?
Among the three great families, the Xulong Family was the strongest. The probability of the Xulong Family getting first place was very high!
Even if the Xu Qi Family were to obtain second place, they would still lose fifteen Divine Void Mountain Springs. "
Li Yinglong said in a deep voice, "If my guess is correct, the two great families should have reached some kind of agreement. After the Xulong Family obtains first place, they will definitely compensate the Xu Qi Family!"
"This … don't we have the right to refuse?"
Li Zi said indignantly.
The Xulong Family and Xu Qi Family had gone too far. Was it not enough for them to withdraw?
"No, the three great families have never withdrawn in advance. If we withdraw, not only will our Xu Qi Family's reputation be ruined, we will also have to compensate the other two great families for their losses!"
Li Yinglong said with a bitter smile.
Instantly, everyone fell silent. Their expressions became very solemn.
"The only thing we can do now is to fight!"
Li Ying suddenly said.
Li Shuo, Li Yu, and the others also nodded helplessly. Right now, they could only advance and not retreat.
"The martial competition will begin in four hours. Let me first explain the rules of the martial competition to you!"
Li Yinglong forced himself to remain calm and began to explain the rules of the martial competition to Li Ying's group of five.
Zhuowen listened quietly. After Li Yinglong finished explaining, he more or less understood the general rules of the martial competition.
The martial competition was divided into two parts, the team competition and the individual competition.
The team competition was for teams of five. Each team had to contribute one hundred points. The winner would obtain the points of the team, and the loser would have to contribute the points of the team.
As for the individual competition, the five members of each team could freely choose an opponent and give the corresponding points. As long as the opponent accepted the challenge, the duel would be established. If one side did not agree, the duel would not be established.
However, the challenged side only had three chances to refuse. Once they exceeded three times, they would no longer have the right to refuse.
"First is the individual competition. Every team has to choose a corresponding captain!
This time, our team's captain will be Zhuo Nianxue! "
Li Yinglong looked at Zhuowen, a look of inquiry in his eyes.
Originally, he had planned to give the captain position to Li Ying, but after Zhuowen's outstanding performance in the martial competition, he had changed his mind.
He had decided to make Zhuowen the captain.
As soon as he said this, Li Shuo and Li Yu were fine. However, Li Ying and Li Zi frowned.
"Family Head, this decision is not appropriate!"
Li Zi suddenly objected.
"How is it not appropriate?
Zhuo Xiaoyou's performance in the martial competition was outstanding. He helped our Xu Ming family obtain the highest score. What's wrong with him being the captain? "
Li Yinglong said.
Li Zi gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what kind of luck this Zhuo Nianxue has. He actually passed the fourteenth level in the maze!
But one thing is undeniable. His strength is not as good as cousin Li Ying's! "
"The martial competition is not a martial competition. The captain will naturally be the strongest person. I refuse to accept Zhuo Nianxue as the captain!"
Li Ying's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "Li Zi, don't make trouble!"
After saying this, Li Ying looked at Li Yinglong and said, "Family Head, although Li Zi's personality is more lively, I feel that what she said is reasonable!
The martial competition is naturally based on strength. I admit that his performance in the martial competition is outstanding. However, his ranking on the Xu Ming Divine List is lower than mine. It is indeed inappropriate for him to be the captain! "
"Of course, if Family Head insists on this decision, I will naturally respect your decision!"
Li Ying's words were natural and reasonable. Li Yinglong could not help but praise him in his heart. He felt that Li Ying was still sensible.
Just as Li Yinglong was about to announce that Zhuowen would be the captain, Zhuowen spoke.
"Family Head Li, what Li Ying and Li Zi said is very reasonable!
I am not suitable to be the captain. After all, I am only an external aid. If I become the captain, others will think that the Xu Ming family has no one. "
"I feel that the captain's position should be given to Li Ying!"
Zhuowen said indifferently.
Zhuowen did not want to be in the limelight. Naturally, it was impossible for him to accept the captain's position. Therefore, he straightforwardly refused.
Seeing Zhuowen's firm attitude, Li Yinglong did not force him. In the end, he gave the captain's position to Li Ying.
"The martial competition will begin in four hours. You should all adjust yourselves and prepare for the next battle!"
Li Ying instructed in a deep voice after dealing with the captain's matter.
