"Calm down, Yan'er." Tian Suyin said as she smacked her daughter's back.

"Calm down?! I have to fight Spirit Kings if I don't want to become a burden for the sect!" Tian Yanyu frowned.

"You don't have to participate if you don't want to. I won't force you to fight. It's also unreasonable to ask you to fight a Spirit King. We simply got unlucky." Yu Jian appeared and said to her, "Also, with how many powerhouses are present, I had no hopes to acquire the treasure since the beginning."

"They're right. You can simply forfeit the match." Yuan followed.

Once Tian Yanyu calmed down a little, she gritted her teeth and said, "If our opponents aren't at a level where I cannot handle, I will fight too. Although I do not qualify to participate in this event, I won't be a coward either."

Yu Jian smiled after hearing her words, "Good. Even though we have almost no chance of winning this, I still don't plan on going down without a fight. This is no longer just about the treasure. This is about keeping our sect's honor and reputation. We will fight those we can fight and back down if it's too risky."

When it was Huang Lee and the Seven Profound Swords turn for selection, the entire place became dead silent as everyone there nervously waited for the results.

A few moments later, three individuals were chosen.

"What?! All three of their fighters are Spirit Kings! They even have two peak Spirit Kings!"

"Fuck! I bet they cheated!"

"How is cheating even possible? Their talisman had been inspected by every Senior here."

Many people suspected that Huang Lee had cheated, but without any proof, nobody there dared to voice their complaints fearing retaliation.

All of the top sects and powerful families went last in the selection, and shockingly, all of them had insane luck with at least 2 Spirit Kings in their team.

It was clear to all of the small sects and families there that these powerful factions had worked together and manipulated the results somehow, giving themselves a massive advantage.

"Those shameless old bastards never intended on giving us a chance…!" Yu Jian gritted his teeth in anger after seeing the results.

"So we never stood a chance from the beginning, huh? Why am I not surprised?" Tian Yanyu sighed.
