Chapter 166: Ten Years of Great Comparison (3)
This side had just been defeated, and the weaker ones were immediately chased and driven out of the aperture. When the weak ones were cleared, a dramatic scene occurred, and the winning side immediately fell apart and began to be wary of each other.
"What's going on? The alliance cooperation is not good, why did it dissolve all of a sudden?" Zhao Shi asked very puzzled when he saw this scene.
"To figure out what's going on, you have to figure out how this alliance came about. The demon did not directly tell Zhao Shi the reason, but guided Zhao Shi to think for himself and find the answer by himself.
"How did you form an alliance?" Zhao Shi thought for a moment after repeating the words of the demon, and said, "Naturally, it is because I don't want to be left alone and become the target of everyone's attacks. β
That's right, that's the initial motivation for forming alliances. β
"Now that the alliance has collapsed, it means that this initial motive doesn't exist, right?" Zhao Shi asked uncertainly.
"Not necessarily, because the scuffle is not over yet, and there are obviously more than 300 people on the field. β
Zhao Shi roughly estimated that there were at least three hundred and fifty people present at the moment, which meant that another fifty people had to be removed to end the melee.
"Understood, most of the people on the field must have realized this, otherwise they wouldn't have just cleared the weaker ones and immediately started to guard each other. Then a new small group was formed, and it grew larger again until there were only 300 disciples left in the field. Zhao Shi said confidently, because this time he completely understood the truth.
"Well, that's right, that's the way it is. You have to remember that everything has its pros and cons in it, and if you grasp this pros and cons, you will be invincible. The demon said meaningfully to Zhao Shi, he hoped that through this incident, Zhao Shi would have a better understanding of this cruel world.
"Pros and cons? In order not to be left alone and not to be targeted by others, they cooperate with each other to build alliances. Now, in order not to be plotted and sneak attacked by the allies, in order to avoid this drawback, they choose to break away from the group. From start to finish, everything revolves around the pros and cons. Zhao Shi thought back, slowly sorted out the beginning and end of the matter, and said.
In the ensuing melee, just as Zhao Shi had guessed just now, they found that there were more than three hundred people present, so they formed a group again in twos and threes, targeting those seemingly weaker opponents.
With a "boom", a signal flare exploded in the sky, emitting a dazzling light, which means that the first round of melee in the ten-year competition is over.
The 300 disciples present successfully cleared the customs and qualified to enter the second round of the competition tomorrow. "The first round of melee has ended, please take out your jade registration records from the disciples in the circle, and don't go out of the circle at will. β
"Let's go, how do you feel about the first round of competition?" asked the demon with a smile.
"Recognizing the power of the Ichor Period, I was a little complacent about what I had achieved, but now that it is gone, I feel that I am just a frog at the bottom of a well. The biggest feeling is that I understand the cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals, and the interests will always come first, and this feeling is the greatest. Zhao Shi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.
"If you have these feelings, this day is not in vain. Let's go, go back to the cave. The demon said with a smile, he was very pleased that Zhao Shi had these experiences.
"Hmm. Zhao Shi nodded and soared into the clouds.
After returning to his cave mansion, Zhao Shi remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart. After a while, he said to the demon: "Brother demon, I won't participate in tomorrow's pennant competition, I ask myself if I can't enter the top 100." Even if I am lucky enough to enter the top 100, how can I win them against the disciples of the Ichor Stage next. β
Zhao Shi's eyes were gloomy, and he felt that he didn't need to compete anymore, there was a big difference, and it was needless to say that he was doomed.
"Look at the point, this big competition doesn't require you to achieve any rankings, you see him as a test of yourself, to see how big the gap between you and the Ichor stage is now. Of course, losing is certain, but being able to fight against a monk in the Ichor Stage, how could such a good opportunity be given up like this. β
The demon's words made Zhao Shi fall into deep thought, and after a long time, Zhao Shi's eyes rekindled a raging flame, and it seemed that he had figured out something.
"Brother Demon You're right, I care so much about winning or losing, I forgot that what I need most urgently at the moment is accumulation, not winning or losing. Zhao Shi said soberly, thinking about this, his whole person was refreshed, and he was full of confidence again.
Early the next morning, when Jiuyanding sounded again, Zhao Shi opened his confident eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled, "Let's go, Brother Demon Demon." β
Zhao Shi flew with everyone, and after a while, he came to the "Cloud Chasing Peak". "Could it be that this pennant competition is going on here?" Zhao Shi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said to himself.
"Naturally, this is not the test venue, this is both the starting point and the end point. A familiar voice sounded behind Zhao Shi.
"Senior Brother Zhou, and Senior Sister Wan, I didn't expect such a coincidence. Zhao Shi looked back with a look of surprise.
"Senior Brother Zhao now everyone knows and everyone knows, who is not talking to you in the door. You still remember my senior sister, but I'm flattered!" Wan Sha grinned and joked with Zhao Shi.
"Senior Sister Wan, don't make fun of me. I'm really lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the first place. Zhao Shi smiled shyly and said, this Wan Sha exaggerated himself so much, which made him very embarrassed.
"Heheγγγ down to business, junior brother is willing to cooperate with us to complete this pennant competition together. Wansha asked with a smile.
"I'm γγγ I only have the cultivation of the mid-stage of aura, I'm afraid that joining will only hold you back, and I won't be able to help at all, so forget it." Zhao Shi's eyes lit up when he heard Wansha's invitation, but after thinking about it again, he said with a little inferiority.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you don't have to think like this, it's just a competition. Besides, your strength is not weak, and there is no problem with self-preservation, so why drag it down. We think you have the strength, so we invited you, but not because of what you thought in your heart. Zhou Yiyang said with a smile, showing sincerity.
"What Senior Brother Zhou said is true, and we began to discuss pulling you into our team on the way here. Wan Sha followed Zhou Yiyang and hurriedly said, for fear that Zhao Shi would refuse.
"Well, since Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Wan are so invited, no matter what the reason, Senior Brother will not refuse. Zhao Shi said solemnly, his eyes showing gratitude.
