Chapter 127 – I’m Not Withdrawing
A heavy silence hung over the Daxia Sword Sect’s quarters as the disciples sat quietly in the hall. Finally, Qin Xian sighed.
“There are only seven of you left now. Continuing in the later rounds has... lost its meaning. After discussing it among ourselves, we’ve decided that the sect will withdraw from the competition.”
What?!
Everyone froze, staring at him in disbelief.
Qin Xian looked sad because he genuinely cared for his sect’s disciples. Gao Qiwen sat in the corner without a word.
Ye Feng couldn’t help but blurt out, “Old Qin... are we really giving up?”
Tu Kui shot him a glance. “With three disciples down, our sect doesn’t stand a chance of ranking high. Moving up the board is practically impossible...”
But Li Nanting cut him off. “Even so, we still want to hear your thoughts. The Hundred Sects Tournament is about resources, yes, but what truly matters is your growth.
“The sect is like a greenhouse, but once you reach the Golden Core Realm and leave it, you’ll see that the outside world is far crueler than any tournament. So... whether we withdraw or not, we want to hear your opinions.”
Everyone fell silent.
Yu Ye, Gu Ran, and Li Guanqi were undeniably strong, even compared to the other tournament contenders.
However, on the mid Foundation Building Realm team, only Lin Qingyu and Ye Feng were strong. Zhong Lin and Lin Dong were merely average, making victory far from certain.
