Chapter 1350: Chapter 177: The Cruel Challenge Mechanism

"Young Clan Chief, your expression seems off. Or do you have some opinion on my closed-door disciple?" The High Priest caught every nuance of Hei Linlin’s expression.

The relationship between Ye Beiming and the Hei Qilin Tribe was something the High Priest knew a bit about.

The High Priest and Hei Yao were evenly matched for a time.

It was because of Hei Yao that the High Priest couldn’t completely control the strongest Hei Qilin Tribe within the Eight Desolate Beast Clan. This matter had been a thorn in his side.

But then Ye Beiming suddenly appeared.

Knowing the special relationship between Ye Beiming and Hei Yao, he sought to recruit Ye Beiming.

Hei Yao, wise throughout his life, could hardly have imagined his son would become a tool for the Beast God Altar.

If Ye Beiming made a stunning impression in the Eight Desolate Clan Competition, Hei Yao’s expression would be incredible.

The High Priest felt secretly pleased but maintained a humble appearance with no visible emotions.

"High Priest, you’re overthinking. Your closed-door disciple has an exceptional demeanor; truly, you are fortunate," Hei Linlin dared not inquire further.

She now only wondered if she should quickly report this matter to her father.

"If that’s the case, then Young Clan Chief, please lead the way. I’ve heard the Eight Desolate Clan Competition has had many unexpected incidents recently," the High Priest laughed, proceeding with Hei Linlin to Tianyong City.

Between Hei Linlin and the High Priest, an undercurrent roiled.

Inside Tianyong City, several ominous undercurrents surged fiercely.

The Eight Desolate Clan Competition comprises three rounds: the Arena Matches, Secretive Challenges, and Core Matches.

The Arena Matches are fully open to the public, and anyone from Tianyong City can come to watch.

But starting from the Secretive Challenges, things change. The square is surrounded, with guards from the Hei Qilin Tribe everywhere. Entry and exit require special tokens.

The Challenge Match adopts a semi-public format. Apart from the Eight Beast Clans, tickets to enter the square cost one hundred Purple Gold Coins, and entry is limited to five thousand people per day.

The five consecutive days of the Challenge Matches alone can earn the Hei Qilin Tribe tens of thousands of Purple Gold Coins from ticket sales.

After the Arena Matches, the original two arenas, Ba Snake Arena and Sky Fox Arena, were dismantled and replaced with a brand new Challenge Arena.

Around the arena, eight new tents were set up. By looking at the tent emblems, one could distinguish the various Beast Clans.

Among them, the tents for the Upper Beast Clan were gold-colored and closest to the arena.

The tents for the Middle-level Beast Clan were red and slightly further away.

Next were the Lower Beast Clan tents, colored blue; this year, due to the Ba Snake Tribe’s unexpected elimination, the Hua Clan took the tent originally meant for the Ba Snake Tribe.

Inside each tent were the respective leaders and ten participants.

Behind the eight tents were the spectators who bought tickets, although their viewing experience was far inferior to that of the Eight Beast Clans.

After the incident with the Heavenly Arena, this Challenge Arena was just ordinary, except some Magic Arrays were temporarily added around it. It was suggested by someone from the Hei Qilin Tribe to prevent the use of Evil Techniques.

Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng chuckled, knowing it was targeting her.

The Sky Fox Tribe smoothly won the Arena Matches this time, but there were still many objections externally.

Because the three most renowned participants from the Sky Fox Tribe, Yun Sheng, Lu Yunshuang, and Yu Shang, won too easily and inexplicably.

Especially the tribes Pengyu and Azure Nether Wolf, who had good relations with the Ba Snake Tribe, announced before the Challenge Matches that the Sky Fox Tribe used underhanded tactics to win, and they wanted to seek justice for the Ba Snake Tribe.

With the sun high in the sky and under everyone’s attention, Dugu Xiu, the Vice Clan Leader of the Hei Qilin Tribe, ascended the arena.

As soon as he stood on the arena, a flood of cheers erupted, with most screaming coming from female voices.

"Vice Clan Leader, the Vice Clan Leader is so handsome."

"Vice Clan Leader, look this way, we love you."

After all, Tianyong City is the Hei Qilin Tribe’s capital. Most of the audience able to purchase tickets for the Challenge Matches were from the Hei Qilin Tribe.

This fact exerted considerable pressure on the other Beast Clans.

Dugu Xiu was a prominent figure in the Hei Qilin Tribe.

Dugu Xiu was evidently used to such scenarios. With a wave of his hand, the square instantly fell silent, as if someone had suddenly grasped the throats of those five thousand people.

"Clan Leaders, colleagues of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, spectators who have come to watch the competition, welcome to Tianyong City. On behalf of the Hei Qilin Tribe, welcome. The Challenge Matches are about to begin. Before that, let me announce the rules for this tournament." As the host for this round of the clan competition, Dugu Xiu wouldn’t be participating in the Challenge Matches.

Apart from Dugu Xiu himself, those within the gold-colored tent, the top three from the Jiuluan and Di Clans, as the seed participants, wouldn’t join this time’s Challenge Matches.

Aside from the three major Upper Beast Clans, participants from the other five Beast Clans, including the rising Hua Clan, must participate in the Challenge Matches.

The Challenge Matches run for five days. Each non-seed participant can challenge anyone from the Beast Clans, but if challenged unsuccessfully, they are eliminated.

To enter the final Core Matches, each participant must accumulate at least five points; winning against an opponent earns one point, and a draw earns zero points.

In other words, it’s completely impossible to win without facing opponents.

Yun Sheng quickly calculated that excluding seed participants, there were seventy-one competitors from the Eight Beast Clans. Consecutive victory in five rounds would not be an easy feat.

Because besides challenging opponents, you also have to guard against others’ challenges. Competitors entering the Challenge Matches are elites within the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, each noteworthy.

Though only five wins are needed for the Core Matches, over five days, nobody can guarantee they won’t become a target, especially those relatively weaker competitors, who might face intense onslaughts on the first day.

By the last day, it’ll be the fiercest fight.

Truly worthy of the Eight Desolate Clan Competition, it’s plain and brutal beastly survival.

Yun Sheng’s gaze involuntarily turned to the Hei Qilin Tribe’s tent.

Inside were only eight people, with no sight of Hei Linlin, as a seed participant, she doesn’t need to attend the Challenge Matches.

Suddenly, Yun Sheng caught a hostile glance.

The gaze belonged to a female warrior from the Hei Qilin Tribe, who was glaring at Yun Sheng with an expression of hatred.
