Chapter 571: An Eyesore (1)

There were currently 1,004 participants in the tower. As long as four more people were eliminated, the final name list of the Grand Master Thousand Rankings would be revealed.

At this time, the weaker the person, the easier it was to be defeated by the other participants. The participants standing at the edge of the arena were the relatively weaker Grand Masters. They also knew that they were weaker and would most likely be challenged, so they felt even more uneasy.

They had finally come this far and were about to enter the Grand Master Thousand Rankings. They did not want their efforts to be in vain.

Sheng Xiao’s performance stunned many people. However, at this moment, he seemed terrifying.

Besides, at this time, it was often a competition between the outer-ring participants. The Grand Masters who could definitely get on the Grand Master Ranking did not bother to challenge them. Therefore, Sheng Xiao, who was the strongest in the outer-ring, became an eyesore to the other participants.

They were afraid of him.

No one wanted to be challenged by Sheng Xiao, and no one dared to challenge him.

They noticed that Sheng Xiao had been staring at the participant count table. The Grand Masters standing around him were excited. They could not help but think—

They were weak and injured, so they were easy to bully. If Sheng Xiao did not dare to challenge those experts, but challenged them, what should they do?

Hence, the beast tamers beside Sheng Xiao looked unhappy.

Among the 1,004 participants on the battlefield, only Sheng Xiao was covered in a barrier membrane. He was the only participant from a small world. On a certain level, they were the same group. Sheng Xiao, who came from a small world, was a country bumpkin who was ostracized.

This scene was like a phoenix mixed into a chicken cage. However, these chickens were unwilling to admit that this phoenix was unique and beautiful. On the other hand, they were afraid of his outstanding strength. Therefore, they wanted to kick this phoenix out of this chicken cage.

As long as the phoenix was kicked out, the situation in the chicken coop would be fair and just.

With this thought in mind, a few of the weakest people began to approach each other.

They were four mid-stage Grand Master Beast Tamers. There were three men and one woman.

These four participants clearly knew each other. One of them, a man in a suit with long hair that reached his shoulders, said to the others, “Everyone, we’re all from the same world. The situation is dangerous now, and we’re all facing the awkward situation of being eliminated. Why don’t we work together and kick out the participant from this small world first?! Then, we can work together to deal with the other participants?”

This way, they could advance together.

This man said what the other three were thinking.

“Okay!”

Sheng Xiao could not understand their language, but he could feel four malicious and murderous gazes on him.

His gaze moved away from the participant count in the sky, then turned to look at the four participants behind him.

Sheng Xiao understood everything when he saw the killing intent in their eyes.

Sheng Xiao wanted to sit back and reap the benefits. However, he did not know that he, who came from a small world, was not qualified. He was not a fisherman on the boat. He was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

From the looks of it, they were planning to attack him.

Sheng Xiao tightened his grip on his sword. He turned to look at the other beast tamers watching the battle and asked in a low voice, “Is anyone willing to cooperate with me?” Since the other party did not play by the rules and planned to bully him with numbers and chase him out of the battlefield, he could gather three more participants to fight with him.

There was nothing wrong with giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

However, none of the participants were willing to cooperate with Sheng Xiao after they received his invitation.

To them, Sheng Xiao was just a participant from a small world. Even though his performance in the competition was outstanding and stunning, his birth was too humble. No matter how promising he was, he did not have a powerful background.

Cooperating with him would offend the forces of the Great World.

After the battle, Sheng Xiao would return to his small world. But what about them? What should they do?
