According to common sense, no matter how talented Xu Yi is, she should only be at most a B-level right now.

It's just that saying she had some fortuitous encounter is a slight possibility.

But such odds are too slim, Yang Yan almost wouldn't consider it.

If fortuitous encounters were so easy to come by, they wouldn't be called fortuitous encounters.

"Got it, let Xiaocao find out what those guys are up to first! The legendary items that have appeared are no longer just one or two. Even those guys can't swallow so many things."

After Yang Yan finished speaking, he ended the call.

He believed Xiaocao could handle the rest well.

"Dr. Yang, can we go now?"

Just as Yang Yan hung up the phone, Golden Cauldron happened to walk over.

"Let's go!"

Yang Yan nodded and then got into the car with him.

"Let's first go over the rules of the competition or anything else I need to know! I'm completely in the dark right now and know nothing."

Yang Yan asked Golden Cauldron.

"You dare to enter the competition knowing nothing? How confident are you in yourself?"

Chao Liang, who was nearby, sneered when he heard Yang Yan's words.

"Chao Liang, if you keep talking nonsense, you'll have to switch to another car!"

Golden Cauldron's face turned cold, and he shouted sternly.

"Alright, ignore this fool, let's talk about the competition!"

Yang Yan said with a smile.

As for this Chao Liang, he really didn't pay any attention to him.

Such an ant-like guy, if Yang Yan wanted to, he could kill a bunch of them with just a glare.

"The competition is actually simple, with no particularly special rules."

Golden Cauldron said:

"Initially, they required us to send only Chinese people under fifty to the competition."

"But now, because the information about the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram and the Lance of Longinus got leaked by someone, the other side has lost control of the situation."

"Now, many major forces in the Hidden World want a share of the pie."

"Moreover, they've offered quite a few legendary items as rewards, attracting a lot of people."

"But now, it seems everyone is following the rule that competitors can't be over fifty."

Golden Cauldron's words were somewhat jumbled, but Yang Yan still understood.

The gist is, now that more powers know about this, they also want these things that previously existed only in legends, but nobody wants an all-out war, so they're still using this kind of grand competition to fight for it.

Luckily, the other side has some restraint, allowing only those under fifty to participate.

Otherwise, if those old guys took the field, it would be uncontrollable in the end.

"Under fifty, huh? These people sure are confident!"

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"They have no choice but to be confident!"

Golden Cauldron also smiled and said:

"In the Hidden World, fifty years is one generation, and now the world's changes are unprecedented, no one wants to show weakness at such a time."

"Yet the elders can't fight, so it's naturally up to the young ones."

Yang Yan disdainfully pouted, saying with some emotion:

"Showing off how outstanding their inheritors are? What a bunch of boring people!"

On the side, Chao Liang was obviously provoked by Yang Yan's words, and he said displeasedly:

"You talk so big now, but we've never seen you in action. Hope you won't embarrass our Heaven and Earth Society."

Hearing Chao Liang's words, Yang Yan smiled faintly and said casually:

"I think you're mistaken. I'm not competing on behalf of your Heaven and Earth Society."

"Oh? What's that supposed to mean?"

Chao Liang looked at Yang Yan coldly and asked in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Golden Cauldron and Situ Tingting also turned their gaze to Yang Yan, waiting for his response.

"The tournament rule requires a pair to team up and fight until only two remain, or rather, the last remaining team wins, right?"

Yang Yan looked at Golden Cauldron, smiling.

"That's right, that's how it is."

Golden Cauldron nodded.

"That's fine then!"

Yang Yan suddenly sat up straight, showing a confident smile:

"The rule is like this, it doesn't say participants must come from the same faction!"

"I bet by tomorrow, forming random teams over there will definitely be quite common, right?"

"So does it matter if I'm entering under the Heaven and Earth Society's name?"

"Besides, you'd have to be naive to think the person who came up with this tournament format isn't Saraf!"

"When an Angel fights solo, their combat power is normal, but when two Angels team up, their combat power multiplies tremendously."

"And they probably have more than two people entering. It's a clever plan!"

Listening to Yang Yan, Golden Cauldron nodded unconsciously, then asked:

"That's true, but if you win, who gets the prizes?"

Yang Yan waved his hand and said calmly:

"You're overthinking it. The tournament hasn't even started, and you're already thinking about the prizes? Are you that confident in this young lady?"

"Sigh!"

Golden Cauldron smiled wryly and sighed heavily:

"Maybe I am overthinking it. Let's leave it until we get there to talk!"

Since the competition venue was an uninhabited isolated island set by the organizers, the car wouldn't be able to drive there.

Golden Cauldron's side had already prepared a plane.

To Yang Yan's surprise, the plane was quite large.

"Your Heaven and Earth Society is really rich, having such a plane."

Yang Yan looked at the private plane and said with some amazement.

"Often, we need to ensure secrecy while traveling, so having a private plane is very necessary."

Golden Cauldron explained.

Coming onto the plane, it was even more spacious than Yang Yan had imagined, able to seat about fifty people.

And there was quite a bit of space between the seats.

It was practically on par with the space of a regular passenger plane.

"When you arrive, find a place to rest first while I gather some material on tomorrow's competitors to research."

"Let's see what strong opponents we have; we must be prepared. After all, know your enemy and know yourself, and you'll win a hundred battles."

Golden Cauldron looked at Yang Yan and Situ Tingting as he said.

Yang Yan didn't say anything, implicitly agreeing with his approach.

Even he thought it was necessary to get some information on the competitors.

There were many people's abilities in the Hidden World that were extremely peculiar.

Some abilities were ones even Yang Yan couldn't ignore.

The plane was very fast, but it still took about three hours to reach the destination, which made Yang Yan doubt if this was still within America's borders.

What surprised Yang Yan was that there was actually a fully equipped airport here.

When the plane landed, Yang Yan even spotted buildings in the distance.
