At noon, Lin Qian and his companions had left the residence where they had been staying and went to the location of the ring.
Around the ring, observation platforms had been set up in advance, allowing all parties to have a clear view during the competition.
The so-called observation platforms were huge clamshells suspended in the seawater, fitted with seats and various snacks and fruits.
At that mont, Lin Qian and his companions were sitting on one of those observation platforms, quietly seated on the giant clam, waiting for the competition to officially begin.
As for the arrangent of this competition, it had been determined by random draw and was conjured above the central ring using Soul Power, making it visible to everyone.
According to the rules of the Clan eting, players from the sa clan were not paired randomly, so there would be no combat between them initially, including the allies of the Human Clan.
Therefore, Lin Qian’s na and that of Zhang Qi from the Eastern Division Clan and five others were very far apart; they would not encounter each other at the beginning.
Taking advantage of the fact that the competition had not yet started, Lin Qian discreetly observed the other observation platforms where mbers of the Eight-Ard Sea Clan and their participants in the Clan eting were present.
The Eight-Ard Sea Clan had one main clan, four major sub-clans, thirty-six minor sub-clans, and one hundred and eight tribes, making a total of one hundred forty-nine groups, five slots for the Eight-Ard Sea Clan, and one ally from the Human Clan, altogether eight hundred ninety-four people.
The one-on-one competition was about to start among these eight hundred ninety-four participants.
Of course, Lin Qian would not focus on each of these potential opponents; his main attention was naturally on the players from the main clan and other sub-clans.
According to Zhang Nianxin, so of the thirty-six minor sub-clans had rapidly increased their strength recently and were likely to produce so dark horse competitors that warranted extra caution.
Moreover, with the assistance of allies from the Human Clan, so formidable opponents were bound to erge, though their true capabilities were still unknown.
However, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, Lin Qian was determined to win the competition. Since he had co, he naturally intended to do his best.
Just as Lin Qian was silently contemplating, Zhang Qi, who had left earlier, had just co back from not far away, his face full of irritation: "It’s really too much, looking down on people!"
Seeing Zhang Qi’s state, Lin Qian and the others curiously turned their attention to him, not understanding what had happened.
"What happened, did soone bully you?" Seeing Zhang Qi’s appearance, Lin Qian asked with a chuckle.
Zhang Qi helplessly waved his hand and spoke to Lin Qian: "It’s not about being bullied, it’s about you, Your Highness."
"Bullying ?" Hearing Zhang Qi’s words, Lin Qian beca interested, "What do you an by bullying ? From the start until now, I’ve been sitting right here. How can you say I’m being bullied?"
Zhang Qi seed to realize that his expression was inadequate and quickly elaborated: "The bullying I’m referring to cos from other people’s words, which are really too much."
Following that, Zhang Qi explained the cause and consequences of the matter clearly, clarifying it for everyone.
It turned out that on the battle pairings displayed above the ring, not only were the nas of the combatants from either the Eight-Ard Sea Clan or the Human Clan indicated, but their realms were also listed.
On the chart, not to ntion the main clan, even the young talents from the allied Human Clans of the Western, Southern, and Northern Sub-clans, were all young prodigies who had surpassed the Life and Death Realm despite their young age.
It was known that one of the conditions for participating in this Clan eting was that the age could not exceed thirty years.
As for those in the thirty-six minor sub-clans, there were quite a few allies from the Human Clan. Their realms were all above the Life and Death Realm, causing many to feel apprehensive, thinking that these minor sub-clans might use this opportunity to surge in power.
After all, whether or not one could go to the ancient Human Clan relic depended on the results of this competition.
However, on the team’s chart, it was clearly indicated that this ti, the ally of the Eastern Division Clan from the Human Clan was rely at the Sixth Level of the Sky Breaking Realm, which instantly beca a laughing stock.
This Clan eting was indeed a fiercely competitive event, yet the ally of the Eastern Division Clan was only in the Sky Breaking Realm!
Lin Qian’s opponent was from one of the minor sub-clans of the Eight-Ard Sea Clan. Although his strength was not of the Life and Death Realm, he possessed the power of the Sky Crossing Stage of the Sky Breaking Realm.
In their view, between the Sky Crossing Stage and the Sixth Level, it was clear who would win and who would lose.
Those who could participate in this Clan eting were all beings with significant talent, and their combat abilities were certainly not of ordinary caliber, deserving of comparison.
Therefore, overcoming a higher realm was extrely unlikely in this Clan eting, as everyone was capable of exhibiting combat power beyond their own realm.
Many believed the fall of the Eastern Division was imminent, and Lin Qian was rely here to joke around.
So even started gambling.
Of course, what they bet on was not whether Lin Qian would win but how many moves he could withstand, with various options available.
A hundred moves, ten moves, or even one move.
"Isn’t this insulting? Earlier I argued based on reason, ntioning that Your Highness is actually very strong, but guess what happened." As he spoke, Zhang Qi laughed angrily, "That ally from the Yunhai Sect of the Northern Division Clan said that His Highness was just a coward with lustful intentions but no courage, and it would be good if he could last half a move!"
Lin Qian was shocked and looked at Zhang Qi incredulously: "Are you sure you heard right? She said I’m a lustful coward? How can she say that?"
"That woman said that previously His Highness used lustful eyes to sneak a peek at her. When discovered, he quickly looked away, which shows he is a coward with lustful intentions but no courage. Lacking in power is one thing, but not even having the courage to face her beauty is another," Zhang Qi said angrily.
After listening, Lin Qian burst into laughter: "That’s really interesting. My Xinxin is a hundred tis better than her in terms of appearance, temperant, or talent. Why would I need to look at her?"
Lin Qian was truly astonished by these remarks; he didn’t know where that female disciple from the Yunhai Sect got her confidence to say such things.
He had initially just been observing their group from the Yunhai Sect, primarily because of his master, Wei Wushuang.
What does delusion an?
After a while, Lin Qian laughed and waved his hand, saying to Zhang Qi: "Such foolish people are not worth bothering with. Calm your emotions, thoroughly enjoy the competition, and treat this as a form of training to integrate the new Cultivation Technique and new abilities."
"Our real target is the ancient Human Clan relic. The Clan eting is not the endpoint."
Zhang Qi himself possessed exceptional talent and a remarkable temperant. After hearing Lin Qian’s words, he quickly cald down.
"Silence!" Just then, a sonorous voice caused ripples across the waters, reaching everyone’s ears.
Lin Qian looked toward the source of the sound and saw that it was the Clan Leader of the entire Eight-Ard Sea Clan, Zhang Tianxin, from the main clan’s observation platform, who had stood up and shouted.
He was the Clan Leader of the main clan and of the entire Eight-Ard Sea Clan!
