Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2177 Chapter 1020: Ao Zhan (Part 3)

Moreover, they lived in the same Disciple's Residence.

After the three of them finished their meal together, it was getting late, so they planned to return to their separate disciple chambers.

Before parting, Mo Hua reminded them to get a good rest, then prepared to leave.

Situ Jian had held back for a long time before he finally started speaking slowly, "Junior Brother...

Mo Hua turned his head to look at him.

Situ Jian hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then voiced the confusion in his heart:

"Junior Brother, can we... still win?"

Cheng Mo also looked silently at Mo Hua, clearly lacking in confidence.

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were different from Linghu Xiao and Ouyang Xuan.

They were not the truly "outstanding" prodigies; they didn't have such great pride and arrogance.

Their opponents were the top figures from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Longding Sect. If they lost, they would be unwilling, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The Qianxue State Boundary was vast, with countless prodigies, many stronger than them.

This fact had been clear to them for a long time.

However, they were disciples of the Taixu Sect, genuinely connected to their sect.

They wanted to win as well.

Even if the ones in the spotlight were not them, even if they were merely there to "sacrifice," as long as they could contribute to a victory in the sword discussion, they would not hesitate.

Moreover, the two of them were on the same team as Mo Hua; their glory and losses were shared.

But the current issue was, they really couldn't see the hope of "winning."

This was only the "Earth" character bureau.

They had only competed in two matches.

A sense of despair had already begun to grow in the depths of their hearts.

The cultivators watching the fight were just observers, while these sword discussion disciples were truly competing on the field.

They understood better than anyone else the strength of the Four Great Sects.

And they understood, when facing top prodigies like Xiao Wuchen from the Heavenly Sword Sect and Ao Zhan from the Dragon Cauldron Sect, the near-despairing sense of powerlessness.

They believed in Junior Brother.

However, at this moment, the two of them were inevitably somewhat bewildered and tormented in their hearts.

These doubts, they hadn't originally intended to voice, but they really couldn't hold back.

Mo Hua looked at Situ Jian and Cheng Mo, quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled warmly, "We can win, but it depends on the situation."

"Situation?"

Situ Jian was taken aback, and Cheng Mo was even more puzzled.

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Don't be intimidated, the Earth character sword discussion isn't entirely comprised of top prodigies like Xiao Wuchen and Ao Zhan."

"Besides them, there are still top disciples from the Eight Great Gates and first-rate disciples from the Four Great Sects; there are still quite a few such teams."

"Encountering top prodigies like Xiao Wuchen and Ao Zhan consecutively is just our bad luck."

"But when facing other teams, it's still possible to compete, it's not entirely unwinnable."

"It depends on the specific situation, and based on the specific sword discussion system and specific opponents, make specific strategies..."

"Of course, it also requires a bit of luck..."

The sword discussion of the Earth character bureau is different from the Xuan character bureau.

The sword discussion roster of the Xuan character bureau is deduced all at once by the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

But the Earth character bureau is different.

The Earth character sword discussion is conducted match by match, and only after one match is finished, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument deduces the

next match's sword discussion roster.

Before this, no one knows who will face whom next.

This tests the disciples' ability to respond randomly and their awareness to arrange matters before battle.

It retains some suspense for the spectators.

Additionally, it prevents some cultivators from knowing the roster in advance and doing some underhanded things behind the scenes.

The Earth character bureau carries more weight, with more prodigies participating, the sword discussions are more exciting, and it's more solemn in form, decidedly preventing external interferences.

Therefore, during the sword discussion, no one knows who their next opponent will be.

In Mo Hua's eyes, there was also a mist.

He couldn't truly see from start to finish and plan it all out; he could only feel

his way across the river, step by step according to the situation...

Whom he would face would depend on the "cards" dealt by the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, and only then could he think of countermeasures.

So, it requires waiting for the right timing, and also a bit of luck.

And the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument is all about causality.

Luck can't always be bad.

Mo Hua smiled, "Rest assured, we will win."

Situ Jian pondered for a moment and nodded.

Cheng Mo, though not fully understanding, was influenced by Mo Hua's

confident demeanor and couldn't help but nod as well.

The two had spent nine years with Mo Hua as fellow disciples in the same sect,

very familiar with him.

Many times, they might not believe in themselves, but they almost instinctively, believed in "Junior Brother" Mo Hua.

Even though the situation was perilous, as long as they followed Junior Brother,

their hearts were much calmer and more reassured.

Situ Jian, with a gentle gaze, saluted, "Junior Brother, rest early."

Cheng Mo also followed the gesture.

Mo Hua smiled, "Rest early."

Thus, in the intense preparations and the tense, heavy atmosphere, the sword

discussion continued.

It wasn't only Mo Hua in the Taixu Gate, the other disciples were also losing

their matches.

The situation was becoming more and more unfavorable.

Unease spread throughout the heart of every Taixu Gate cultivator.

In such circumstances, every victory was exceedingly precious.

Mo Hua still quietly waited for the "cards" to be dealt by the Dao Discussion

Heaven Instrument.

He also waited for that perfect opportunity and that bit of "luck."

Two days later, Mo Hua's opponent for the third Earth character sword

discussion was decided.

It was the Wanxiao Sect.

Mo Hua's luck improved slightly this time; the opponent wasn't the Wanxiao

Sect's strongest disciple, nor its top-tier team.

It was merely a slightly lower-tier, first-rate team from the Wanxiao Sect.

Everyone thought that this time, the Taixu Gate could truly have a proper

match.

But in this sword discussion, Mo Hua and his team still lost.

Moreover, in this sword discussion, Mo Hua's inherited "flaws" were completely

exposed without any reservation.
