Seeing this familiar figure, Gu Xing immediately attempted to use the spiritual link to contact Liu Li.

However...

His spiritual power, upon approaching Liu Li, was blocked by an invisible wall.

Unable to get close!

Realizing this, Gu Xing's gaze narrowed, focusing on the incredibly deep-spirited old angel beside Liu Li.

Is this Liu Li's guardian?!

The existence of Totem Tier Nine!

It seems it is because of this angel's presence that his spiritual power is blocked when approaching Liu Li.

And aside from spiritual power....

The scene was full of bustling voices.

He wanted to rely on sound for Liu Li to notice his presence, which was almost impossible.

If so, it seems there is only one way left to see Liu Li——

Lanny must partake in this competition and seize the first place!

At the same time.

At the same time, on the high platform, Milo was softly advising Liu Li:

"Before officially entering the trial space, a full-tribe competition will be held."

"The winner has the right to challenge you three inheritors."

His tone was slightly heavy, "And you... are the weakest among the three, the winner has a ninety percent chance of choosing to challenge you."

"Therefore, you'd better prepare in advance!"

Liu Li gently nodded.

Since she was determined to become the sole inheritor of the Angel Race, she naturally wouldn't fear the challenges along the way.

Even though she lost the blessing of Gu Xing, relying solely on her strength, she was still among the top of the totem group.

"I will be careful!"

Seeing Liu Li get ready, Milo said no more and cast his gaze back on the grand competition this time.

The Angel Race has quite a number of tribespeople, perhaps even many.

But those qualified to participate in this grand competition....

Are not many!

First, the first requirement to participate in the competition is to have more than four wings.

This alone eliminates at least 90% of the Angel Race.

The second requirement is to reach the Monarch Level in strength.

And even fewer meet this condition.

Ultimately, excluding those who don't meet the requirements, gave up on joining the grand competition, or are not in the Holy City,

The participants left in this grand competition are only...

A few hundred people!

Among them, Lanny is one.

After registering with a Six-winged Angel, Lanny obtained the qualification to bring a relative into the arena, and thus, Gu Xing was able to accompany her into the grand competition venue.

The internal competition had already begun.

Eight arenas stood towering, the rules simple yet brutal——

On these eight arenas, anyone can go to defend.

And anyone can challenge and attack those defending.

Until the very end, the eight angels standing on the eight arenas will have successfully advanced.

The eight angels eventually standing on the arena will obtain the qualification for advancement and compete in subsequent rounds until only one triumphs.

Understanding the rules, Gu Xing nodded slightly.

As long as one can stand on the arena later, they can advance.

Logically, the later you challenge, the higher the chances of winning.

After all, each fight consumes a certain amount of stamina, the later the challenge, the higher the hope of victory.

However...

Gu Xing did not intend to do so.

Even with only two days, however...

Under the extreme stimulation of "Sovereign" and "Soul-devouring" twin talents, he forcibly elevated Lanny's level to Monarch Tier Nine.

This is possible due to a temporary contract, where the Guardian Beast is not affected by his own level suppression.

He could therefore hunt demons without restraint to help Lanny level up.

Moreover, aside from elevating to Monarch Tier Nine, Lanny's talent was also enhanced to Legendary Nine Stars.

Now Lanny can be said to be among the top tier of challengers here.

"Lanny, choose an arena!" Gu Xing said calmly.

"Ah?"

Lanny was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately understood Gu Xing's meaning.

"Okay, Lord Gu Xing!"

This period of experience had led Lanny to hold the utmost respect for Gu Xing.

She would not hesitate at any of Gu Xing's commands.

At this moment, the defenders on the eight arenas were relatively weak, almost all hovering in the low tier Monarch level, with the real experts still observing.

Lanny unhesitatingly chose the number eight arena and leaped up.

The Monarch Tier Three angel on the platform stood no chance in front of her and was instantly knocked off the platform.

Lanny thus became the defender of the number eight platform.

The angels below saw this scene and began whispering among themselves:

"Isn't this just the beginning? Why is there such a powerful Guardian Beast on the platform already?"

"Isn't this just picking on us low tier angels? We didn't even intend to claim first, we just wanted to use this opportunity to show ourselves."

"This Monarch Tier Nine angel really doesn't adhere to martial virtue! Let's all go up together and give this angel a lesson."

"If we all go for it, even if this angel is Monarch Tier Nine, we can wear her down."

Just...

This is exactly the effect Gu Xing intended to achieve.

Now, he could see Liu Li, but Liu Li couldn't sense him.

Therefore, he could only stir up something to draw everyone's attention.

And provoking by letting Lanny take the stage is the simplest way to gain focus.

Meanwhile, on the high platform——

Jia Bailuo's gaze swept over Liu Li's figure coldly with a trace of concealed resentment in his eyes.

Milo, the strongest among the three guardians, was initially the person he strongly wanted to win over as an ally.

He once personally invited Milo to be his guardian, only to be flatly rejected with "lacking proper intent, unable to bear divine position" as the reason.

And last time, Milo even ignored his status and publicly struck to intimidate him...

All this had long buried a deep hatred in Jia Bailuo's heart.

Since this is the case...

He darkened his gaze, a hint of insidiousness flashed in his eyes.

Milo, since you insist on protecting her, don't blame me for preventing her from even participating in the final trial!

He slightly tilted his head, giving an icy glance to a Totem Level angel standing nearby.

The other nodded silently, then quietly retreated, his figure like mist vanishing into the bustling crowd.

Jia Bailuo's lips curled into a cold smile.

As long as the person he arranged wins the top of this grand competition, he can, according to the rules, challenge Liu Li.

By then, under the guise of a "fair competition," he could completely crush this suddenly emerged third inheritor and remove her from the line of succession!

Not far away, another female inheritor——

Leia!

She had already seen all of Jia Bailuo's actions.

Yet, she did not speak out, nor did she intervene, quietly lowering her eyes, as if everything was unrelated to her.

If Liu Li were eliminated, it would not only be harmless to her but also mean one less competitor.

She was happy to coldly watch all this unfold!
