But being able to do this, without certain strength and ability, was impossible... This Dragon Gate Tournament lasted a full month, and the venue wasn't very large, plus they had to come out to find food, so chances of encountering others were very high.
During this month, not robbing others' name plates while protecting your own required superb self-preservation abilities, those who could do this probably weren't ordinary people.
Such people were actually very few, almost none, basically those who advanced were people who robbed through strength, of course they would also try to avoid strong enemies, after encountering strong enemies they would try to avoid battle, even if the opponent was weaker than themselves.
Because this was a war of attrition, the first thing to ensure was not getting injured, not letting your combat power decline, unless it was the final moment, otherwise they definitely wouldn't fight desperately.
If injured, it meant others would have opportunities to take advantage.
Because of fear of injury, everyone conserved strength at the beginning, during the first twenty days of the month, although quite a few people were eliminated, the battle situation wasn't too intense, rarely erupting into surprising life-or-death battles.
The latter ten days began slowly heating up, especially the last three days when fighting began exploding, at that time those remaining could basically all pass, what they wanted wasn't just passing but rankings.
Guxing got first place in the end, but it wasn't because she actively attacked, generally others came looking for her, initially people who came looking for her thought she wasn't very strong, because after all she was a commoner and female, plus her ranking was very low since she hadn't actively eliminated others.
In Guxing's words, for those much weaker than herself, she had no interest in making moves.
Because of this misunderstanding, several people wanting to take advantage found Guxing, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations, Guxing resolved them and obtained their name plates.
Under the next day's statistics, Guxing thus suddenly jumped from the back of rankings to the front, she was targeted.
At that time, some people still thought she just luckily beat a few people, plus Guxing's accumulated points were quite substantial, naturally becoming top priority.
The result was still the same, under the final day's statistics, Guxing was already first, at that time perhaps some people still weren't clear about her strength, but at least could be certain she definitely wasn't weak.
As the final day, some people began fighting desperately, of course Guxing was challenged again, some people who originally had victory assured and could pass just by enduring a bit, because they wanted Guxing's points, wanted front positions, just fell like that.
Nangong Suxin and others were very clear about Guxing's strength, so they didn't go looking for Guxing, only seeking self-preservation, and their decision was correct, making the final result somewhat incredible.
"Really interesting," after hearing this result, Xiaoyao felt this situation was truly too interesting.
"Yes, this time Qingyun Province still achieved great victory, although quite a few were eliminated, quite a few also remained, this was also thanks to Guxing's role..." Nangong Suxin said with a smile.
This time, besides Guxing's three people, Qingyun Province's advancing people also included Zhan Bai, Mo Mo, and Nangong Tianming, while Nangong Jingming, Lin Yi, Mo Qiu and others were all unfortunately eliminated, the unluckiest should be Lin Yi, originally he could have passed but happened to encounter an expert skilled at sneak attacks and was successfully ambushed.
In this Dragon Gate Tournament, sneak attacks and traps could all be used.
Among Heavenly Wind Kingdom's other people, Zhang Caiyi and Ling Lan both passed, opposite to Lin Yi, Ling Lan originally had no hope of passing, from the beginning she didn't look for anyone, seeking only self-preservation.
Because of Guxing's role, Ling Lan was very fortunately ignored, those people who chose to sweep up those ranked behind, because they encountered Guxing so didn't find Ling Lan.
Even more fortunately, Ling Lan picked up a bargain at the end, someone suffered mutual destruction, she profited as the fisherman, allowing her to pass this Dragon Gate Tournament.
Although everyone knew Ling Lan was lucky, no one had opinions about these points, luck wasn't against rules or cheating.
Princess Ke Xin was eliminated on the eleventh day of competition, but she seemed to be noticed by someone, someone valued her gentle nature, which apparently perfectly matched some wonderful cultivation method's realm, so although she was eliminated, she might be luckier than these winners, because she had already obtained opportunity while others were still uncertain.
The most tragic was Fourth Prince, he unnecessarily looked for trouble with Young Miss, if it was three months ago there was still quite a gap between Young Miss and Fourth Prince, but now although this gap existed, it had narrowed considerably, Fourth Prince wanting to defeat Young Miss quickly was impossible, he could only exhaust Young Miss's stamina while also exhausting his own, when about the same he believed he could win.
But at that time, after Young Miss exhausted stamina she immediately took pills to recover, this kind of stamina recovery pill originally wasn't rare, Fourth Prince also had some, but Young Miss's pills seemed much more effective, recovered much more stamina, making Fourth Prince very surprised.
In the end Fourth Prince discovered that continuing to fight Young Miss, besides wasting his own time, also wasted his own pills, so he finally chose to give up.
Not long after he gave up, he encountered Zhan Bai, he felt Zhan Bai should be out of pills, Zhan Bai was a commoner, he should be able to easily resolve this, so he went to trouble Zhan Bai without even recovering his stamina to full.
As a result, he was tragic again, and this tragedy directly cost him his own name plate, recapturing it was only worth one point, his accumulated points were equivalent to being nearly a hundred points behind others, the people here were all experts, he no longer had this opportunity.
Afterward he couldn't figure out why Young Miss's pills were better than his own, why Zhan Bai's strength suddenly soared to this degree, even if his own stamina was full he might not necessarily win.
Also, what he didn't understand was why afterward when he took pills to recover stamina, the effects seemed not very good, could his pills have problems.
"The pills had no problems, but you can't take too many pills in a short time, the body develops drug resistance, effects naturally become very poor, this is common sense, people who don't understand common sense are truly pitiful," when Fourth Prince angrily asked Ke Xin if she had switched his medicine, Young Miss who overheard severely despised him.
"Common sense, who told you this, why haven't I heard of it?" Fourth Prince asked at the time, because regarding this matter he seemed not to have heard much about it.
"My servant told me, even servants know this, isn't it common sense?" Young Miss replied disdainfully, this sentence choked Fourth Prince quite badly.
Young Miss's servant was Xiaoyao, although Xiaoyao was Guxing's exclusive servant, he could still be considered Young Miss's servant, even if Xiaoyao left Mo family in future, Young Miss wouldn't change this view, and Xiaoyao wouldn't object.
...
"No wonder even Young Miss is in front, so boss was the bait," after listening, Xiaoyao reached a conclusion.
"Damn, what do you mean by that, are you trying to say I don't have this strength originally, that I had dog shit luck?" Young Miss was angry, Xiaoyao's conclusion clearly said she wasn't qualified.
Dog shit luck...
This phrase was too vulgar, this Young Miss was as crude as a man, how could little brother have taken a liking to her, Xiao Ai frowned at Young Miss's tone and word choice, somewhat unable to understand what Ke Shan saw in Young Miss.
Actually Xiao Ai didn't know that Young Miss's personality was just straightforward, originally she wouldn't say such vulgar words, she also had her politeness.
"You indeed did, didn't you draw a path without any obstacles before, wasn't that dog shit luck," Xiaoyao casually replied.
"That's right... bah, no, I relied on strength," Young Miss nodded then immediately shook her head.
"Yes, having dog shit luck is also part of strength," Xiaoyao nodded in agreement.
"You two, can you be more refined, don't keep hanging dog shit on your lips," Nangong Suxin said at this time.
"Scram, you're the one hanging dog shit on your lips," Xiaoyao and Young Miss said simultaneously.
...
Soon Xiao Ai led the group to Phoenix Soaring Tower, quickly finding a top-level private room, these rooms were all private, prepared for distinguished guests, these people naturally wouldn't like being disturbed, didn't like eating with others.
Also, private rooms facilitated doing certain things.
As a member of Ke family, Xiao Ai still had the ability to get these top-level rooms and could afford such rooms.
Entering the room, everyone discovered this was two connected rooms, and between the two rooms wasn't a wall but a hollow circular door frame, only the frame without a door.
Since this room was already private, naturally no door was needed.
Inside was a large round table, outside could also add tables, when there were many people, generally it would be left empty, looking more impressive, giving people a more noble feeling.
Although there were quite a few people this time, it didn't seem necessary to open another table, Guxing, Young Miss, Nangong Suxin three people, Princess Ke Xin, plus Zhang Caiyi and County Princess Ling Lan who came together made three more, Lady Ke, Xiao Ai, Ke Shan also three people, plus Xiaoyao exactly ten people.
At this time someone seemed to notice something, which was that besides Xiaoyao and Ke Shan, it seemed everyone else were girls, this made Ke Shan feel very pleased, he hoped Xiaoyao would also disappear, that way he would have no competition and could talk with Young Miss.
Soon Ke Shan's wish was fulfilled, after Xiao Ai finished ordering dishes, Xiaoyao stood up and left.
