Chapter 1574 -s 1522—1523: Sneak Attack?
"The Taoist Monarch saw right through all of our thoughts," said Wan Fayi, a glint of insight flashing in his eyes as if he had grasped the Taoist Monarch’s intentions to some extent and had begun to speculate. "Perhaps allowing us to form groups was part of his calculations all along! After all, this trial for us candidates requires displaying our leadership abilities. How could one showcase the capacity to lead the Shenxiao Lineage if they are intent on fighting alone?"
Having spent no small amount of time with Pei Xuanjing, Wan Fayi knew that besides mentoring him in cultivation, the Taoist Monarch, though not proactive in teaching other matters, never deliberately excluded Wan Fayi from handling affairs that even the Sect Leader and others could not decide on. The Taoist Monarch even intentionally allowed Wan Fayi to observe and learn.
Taking action oneself and allowing the younger generation to observe and learn from one’s every word and decision-making process is a way of teaching in itself.
And Wan Fayi was not a dull person. Even if he did not understand the intentions of the Taoist Monarch and the Sect Leader at first, as time went on, he gradually understood why they did not let him leave when discussing important matters but instead allowed him to serve by their side. It was not because they lacked attendance but because they hoped he would learn something.
Therefore, for Wan Fayi, he was quite familiar with the way the Taoist Monarch conducted affairs and some of his styles, at least for now. Perhaps he had been somewhat perplexed when he first entered the Myriad Laws Realm, but by this moment, he had grasped the Taoist Monarch’s thoughts.
This trial was designed not only to test the various Supreme Strong to see their capabilities but also to observe the abilities of his Sect Leader candidates, whether they could make the most appropriate choices amid complex situations and demonstrate their abilities.
To many, this Myriad Laws Realm trial seemed like an opportunity for various forces to test each other’s foundations, akin to a rehearsal before a great war.
In such a scenario, it’s possible that everyone might fight for themselves at first, but as time goes by, those strong individuals from immortal sects will inevitably begin to gravitate towards each other, forming alliances not only to kill opponents for points but also to deliberately seek out certain entangled forces and test their bottom line, suppressing the rising strength of the other side’s candidates.
Grouping together is bound to occur; it is an inevitable development as the trial progresses, the best strategy regardless of their desires.
Even if personal confrontations occur, they are meant for the very last moments, even in the second round of arena battles when it is truly time.
And if these people from immortal sect backgrounds would group together, wouldn’t the Independent Practitioners do the same?
In the Chaos Void, although filled with countless opportunities, it is also wrought with innumerable risks, especially when these great immortal sect powers roam the void, making personal strength even harder to manifest.
