Having balanced both aspects, Lin Mu had a plan that was more viable than before.

He would support his companions from the proceeds of the bets and also help them in defeating Yao Changying.

But in all this, a final point was left.

'Umm, I get that we can't defeat Yao Changying on our own and that we'll have to weaken her over time. But when we do defeat her, what are we going to do with the reward from Princess Shang?" Luo Liqin asked after pondering on it.

"Isn't that obvious?" Lin Mu said instead. "We simply divide it. I'm sure the Princess can accommodate a reward that is split between several people."

~phew~

They couldn't helps but feel relieved after hearing this. After all, not being able to obtain a reward after all that might be bothersome to them. Even if some of them had enmity against Yao Changying, the need for resources was eternal.

"That's good then. Now we just need to gather the information about rounds as we go." Lu Xu said before looking towards the tournament grounds from the balcony. "We are still in preliminary rounds so we should have a decent chance at obtaining information about the black horses too." He added.

"Indeed. Now tell me, when you all have your next rounds." Lin Mu questioned.

Ming Aolian was the first to speak. "Mine is two days from now."

"Three days from now." Lu Xu replied.

"Next week." Ming Dandan said.

"Three days from now as well." Qian Wen stated.

"Hmm… So, Ming Aolian and I will be the first ones to fight. Both of us have fights on the same day." Lin Mu said after hearing them all.

"How are we going to manage when you are in a fight and we are also in one?" Qian Wen questioned in doubt.

"I'll try to end the fight quick when its something like that." Lin Mu answered. "Though I don't think it'll be highly likely for a match to be held at the same time. The chances would be too low, considering the sheer number of contestants." He explained.

"That does seem right." Ming Aolian nodded her head.

Her fight was the farthest from everyone; the others would have their fourth fight by then.
