The odds of choosing one out of five and one out of four were not very different.
At least, in Yuan Venerate Huang Yue’s opinion, the odds of them losing in such a setting were much lower than if they were to fight five battles.
Naturally, Luo Yunyang understood the underlying meaning of Yuan Venerate Huang Yue’s words. However, he had no intention of haggling with her.
Although the Quaking Chastise Sword was not bad, it was already broken in half. It was not even comparable to Luo Yunyang’s bow in terms of strength, so Luo Yunyang felt that fighting for something like this was not worth it.
“Alright, since Junior Sister Huang Yue has agreed, let us begin!” Yuan Venerate Shengyu said calmly as if he did not have a single care in the world.
When he said that, five tiny stones appeared in his hands. “These are Chaos Yuan Sky Stones, a specialty of Boundless Taixu. Although there’s no power in them, they can separate one’s spirit consciousness.”
“There are five people on each side. Should we select the person that gets the purple Chaos Yuan Sky Stone to partake in the battle?”
Huang Yue waved her arm and the five Chaos Yuan Sky Stones landed in her hands.
She had also collected some of these stones. After taking a good look at them, she smiled. “Senior Brother Shengyu, these five Chaos Yuan Sky Stones don’t seem to be in good condition. Little Sis has five stones exactly like those.”
When she said that, five more Chaos Yuan Sky Stones appeared in Huang Yue’s hand. However, they did not seem any different from those Yuan Venerate Shengyu had produced.
The Dakongfan Sect martialists immediately flinched. How could they not know that Yuan Venerate Huang Yue did not trust Yuan Venerate Shengyu?
“Alright, we’ll use Junior Sister Huang Yue’s Chaos Yuan Sky Stones!” Yuan Venerate Shengyu said after observing the Chaos Yuan Sky Stones in Huang Yue’s hand.
Although Yuan Venerate Huang Yue couldn’t rig the Chaos Yuan Sky Stones, they were still her own so she did not have to worry that Yuan Venerate Shengyu would try to pull off an unknown trick.
“Since we’re using my stones, Seniors of the Dakongfan Sect, please select first.” Yuan Venerate Huang Yue pointed her finger at the five Chaos Yuan Sky Stones in the void and made them spin rapidly.
As the five Chaos Yuan Sky Stones were spinning very fast, it was impossible for anyone to see the colors of the stones.
Furthermore, the Chaos Yuan Sky Stones could block out any spirit consciousness that tried to control them. When the five Chaos Yuan Sky Stones stopped, five thick dark shadows shrouded them.
“Yuan Venerate Shengyu, you can start.”
Yuan Venerate Shengyu did not hesitate to tell his companions, “Junior Brothers, let fate decide.”
The disciples of the Dakongfan Sect then went ahead with their selection. They did not spend too much effort choosing. They just casually picked.
“Not mine,” an impatient Yuan Venerate from the Dakongfan Sect said indifferently after looking at his selection.
Then, two other Dakongfan Yuan Venerates also presented their Chaos Yuan Sky Stones.
They had not been selected either. Although there were five people, it came down to Yuan Venerate Shengyu and another Yuan Venerate. The three other Yuan Venerates had already started smirking.
After all, the two remaining people were the strongest amongst them.
“Not me either. Seems like it’s Senior Brother Shengyu,” the Yuan Venerate who stood on the left of Yuan Venerate Shengyu said while revealing his Chaos Yuan Sky Stone.
Yuan Venerate Shengyu waved his hand and the remaining Chaos Yuan Sky Stone that hadn’t been selected landed in his palm. Its color was shockingly purple.
Although Huang Yue was dissatisfied with the outcome, she knew that this was all due to sheer luck. Those stones belonged to her, so it would have been impossible for Yuan Venerate Shengyu to rig them.
“Well, it seems like Senior Brother Shengyu is really lucky!” Huang Yue said sourly.
Yuan Venerate Shengyu chuckled as he said, “I’m just fortunate. Who knows, I might end up fighting Junior Sister Huang Yue.”
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue scoffed in response. Although she did not think that she might necessarily lose if she fought against Yuan Venerate Shengyu, she felt that her probability of beating him was only about twenty percent.

“Junior Sister, please make your selection!” Yuan Venerate Shengyu collected the remaining stones and mimicked what Yuan Venerate Huang Yue had done before letting her choose a Chaos Yuan Sky Stone.
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue pondered it for a moment before telling her companions, “You guys select first.”
The three other Yuan Venerates from the Taixu Sect exchanged a glance before reaching out to make their selections. They knew that they weren’t a match for Yuan Venerate Shengyu so they were hoping that they would not be selected.
“Not me!” said the first core disciple of the Taixu Sect who looked at his stone.
“I’m not the one either!”
“Not me either!”
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue was ecstatic when she saw her companions reveal the Chaos Yuan Sky Stones they had selected.
While these three core disciples might not necessarily have zero chance of winning, the odds of them losing were very high.
Only Yuan Venerate Huang Yue had the best chance of beating Yuan Venerate Shengyu.
“Junior Sister Huang Yue, it seems like we shall fight it out and see who will win.” Yuan Venerate Shengyu didn’t seem worried or anxious.
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue merely smiled in response. Just as she was pondering how she should deal with Yuan Venerate Shengyu, she heard someone say, “I think the purple Chaos Yuan Sky Stone is in my hand.”
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue turned her head swiftly when she heard this and saw that Luo Yunyang was holding onto a purple Chaos Yuan Sky Stone.
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue was stupefied, as were the rest of the disciples of the Taixu Sect. They had never expected that the situation would turn out this way.
This meant that the purple Chaos Yuan Sky Stone had not been selected by Yuan Venerate Huang Yue and had instead landed in Luo Yunyang’s hands.
This… This was really unlucky!
“Ha ha! I shall thank Junior Sister Huang Yue for her modest offer!” Yuan Venerate Shengyu guffawed when he saw the purple Chaos Yuan Sky Stone in Luo Yunyang’s hand.
Although Yuan Venerate Huang Yue was reluctant to give away the Quaking Chastise Sword, she knew that she could not regret that things had happened this way. After all, the value of the Quaking Chastise Sword was so great that she had to humble herself. Furthermore, the Dakongfan Sect was slightly stronger than them, so they were also very likely to lose anyway.
“Seems like the heavens are on your side, Yuan Venerate Shengyu.” Yuan Venerate Huang Yue glared angrily at Luo Yunyang.
Luo Yunyang was unhappy as he saw Yuan Venerate Shengyu walking toward the Quaking Chastise Sword. Although he did not care much about the Quaking Chastise Sword, he felt that Yuan Venerate Shengyu’s actions were too condescending.
“Yuan Venerate Shengyu, what are you trying to do?” Luo Yunyang made up his mind after some thought. Since he had to take action in Boundless Taixu anyway, he would start with Yuan Venerate Shengyu.
Yuan Venerate Shengyu stopped in his tracks and shot Luo Yunyang a glance. “Junior Brother Luo, could you perhaps think we should still have a fight? I did not pick you deliberately. The heavens are just helping me!”
After he said that, he glanced at Yuan Venerate Huang Yue, as if he was implying that she should stop Luo Yunyang’s nonsense.
Yuan Venerate Huang Yue was unimpressed. She disliked Luo Yunyang to begin with, so the annoyance she felt for Luo Yunyang would only grow after she lost the Quaking Chastise Sword because of him.
“Junior Brother Yunyang, back down!”
“Senior Sister Huang Yue, since I have been selected, the outcome of this round should be decided by me. I should also be the one admitting defeat if I have to.” Luo Yunyang eyed Yuan Venerate Huang Yue with a serious look. “How can you know that I will lose before we even begin, Senior Sister?”
“Alright, do whatever you like, but let me tell you something. No one cares if you’re the son of Luo Jiutian in Boundless Taixu!” Yuan Venerate Huang Yue snapped angrily.
The other three Taixu Sect martialists also had strong looks of dissatisfaction on their faces. Luo Yunyang’s selection would cause them to lose the Quaking Chastise Sword, which made them feel very unhappy.
They felt that Luo Yunyang simply did not know his limits if he couldn’t concede voluntarily now. His actions could even be considered an utter disgrace.
“In that case, let’s get this done quickly, Junior Brother Yunyang!” Yuan Venerate Shengyu glanced at Luo Yunyang as he spoke politely.
Yuan Venerate Shengyu looked like an immortal in his long white robes. Meanwhile, his opponent, Luo Yunyang, was holding on to a stone rod so nobody was able to treat him as a formidable opponent.
Luo Yunyang smirked and said craftily, “Senior Brother Shengyu, you are right. Let’s get this done and over with. Let me warn you, though. I’m quite impressive alright!”
“Great, Junior Brother Yunyang. Feel free to attack me!” Yuan Venerate Shengyu gestured with his hand casually, as if he completely disregarded Luo Yunyang.
Luo Yunyang swung the massive stick in his hand before taking flight in the air and smashing his stick heavily toward Yuan Venerate Shengyu.
There were no variations in this move. Similarly, the body of the Six-Dragon Sun Striking Bow remained the same, as if Luo Yunyang was a boor wielding a stone club.
“Junior Brother Luo, there are certain people that you can’t challenge!” While saying that, Yuan Venerate Shengyu blasted a punch at Luo Yunyang’s stone rod!
