Chapter 434: Begin!

"Everyone, the time has come for you to get onto the platform," the stoic man said. He and the happy-go-lucky man both flew into the air and landed onto a tower that was placed next to the spectator stands.

Xue Wei and his friends looked at one another and nodded their heads. They then jumped into the air and flew towards the platform. The moment they were above the platform, they started descending, and upon closer inspection of the platform, Xue Wei found that an anti flight formation was placed around it.

During their battle, they would not be able to fly into the air. While this was not a significant loss, it was something that not many were used to. As a result, some would not be able to unleash their attacks as well as they were normally used to, and might fall prey to others.

"Let's all stand at the edge," Bai Tianyi said after considering where to position themselves. "First of all, everyone will try to avoid the edges of the platform, because they might fall, or get pushed down. They will push as much as they can to reach the middle of the platform, so the battle in the center will be much more intense.

"At the same time, we can take out all the weaker people who are pushed towards the edge, and throw them off the platform with ease."

Xue Wei listened to Bai Tianyi's words and nodded his head. It made sense.

While he was not afraid of the intense battle in the center, there was no reason to make things harder for themselves.

They all landed on the platform, and as they had expected, everyone was already fighting to get to the center. Xue Wei's group casually stood at the edge, looking at the many people struggling, no one even looked at them or took their position to heart.

The first incense stick of time passed quickly, and nothing happened. They were standing casually, looking at the mayhem that was in the circle.

Every now and then, someone would be pushed towards them, but with a single kick from Hei Gou, they were thrown off the platform. They had not engaged in even one real battle.

Xue Wei felt that Bai Tianyi's plan was quite good.

Sometimes people would be thrown off from the platform's center, flying through the air and crashing to the ground.

As the second incense stick was halfway through, some of the people in the center finally noticed Xue Wei and his friends.

Their eyes filled with surprise when they saw that they were just standing there, at the edge, completely unharmed, and not at all entangled in battle.

No one in the center had managed to escape unharmed, and all of them were looking for a place to recharge their energy.

Suddenly the pressure on the center became lighter, as a group headed towards different places at the edge, but another group was full of unhappiness and tried attacking Xue Wei and his friends.

Lan looked at the people heading towards them, his lips curling into a snicker as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I am leaving this to you," he said, his voice relaxed, showing no signs of urgency. "We are not allowed to kill anyone, and it is simply impossible for me to make a move without eradicating everyone here."

If it had been anyone else who said so, then Xue Wei would have cursed them for bragging, but knowing that it was Lan, he could only shake his head and smile wryly. He knew it was the truth.

"Leave it to us," Xue Wei nodded his head. He was not interested in being disqualified due to killing. In fact, they might even be persecuted, considering that these people were soldiers of the continent.

Bai Tianyi, Luoluo, Hei Gou, and Lin Xiao were aware that Lan was too strong, they knew that when he made a move, the entire world trembled. Making his move in this situation was simply stupid.

Luoluo created a whip out of her spiritual energy, Bai Tianyi created a sword, Lin Xiao brandished his staff, and Hei Gou took out his claws.

The whip in Luoluo's hands cracked on the ground before she whipped it towards their opponents. It wrapped itself snugly around the waist of a big man, and with a simple flip of her hand, he was thrown off the platform.

Xue Wei raised an eyebrow when he saw how smoothly Luoluo was dealing with them. When one person had been thrown off, she quickly untangled her whip, and with another flicker of her wrist, it tied itself around yet another man, throwing him off the stage, sharing the same fate as the previous person.

It seemed that whips were very useful in this situation! But Xue Wei had no previous experience with whips, but after seeing Luoluo, he was a bit tempted by them when thinking about whether or not to make a whip or a sword with his Inner Might.

Seeing how people were being thrown down left and right, Xue Wei was stumped. He did not even have to move; his friends were filled with battle intent and were taking care of everyone for him.

So thinking that they could also benefit from the battles, Xue Wei withdrew, stood by Lan's side, and began chatting with him.

"How long do you think it will take for Hui Yue to find you?" Xue Wei asked curiously, and Lan's face cracked slightly.

"I left a lot of fake trails. If I am lucky, it will take him half a year; if I am unlucky, he will find me in a week."

Xue Wei nodded his head. "He is your uncle, right?" He asked curiously. Why was Lan so stubborn, not even wanting to see his own uncle?
