Huo Yuhao released Bei Bei's hand after a while. He looked up at the rest of his companions and smiled as he said, "What's happening, everyone? Even though we are in dire straits right now, are we worse off compared to the last big compet.i.tion? Eldest senior brother is quite heavily injured, but fortunately, his origin energy is still intact.

　　"What happened during the last big compet.i.tion? What were our cultivations five years ago? I only had two rings, while eldest senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother had but four soul rings, even though they were the strongest amongst us. We still made it through, didn't we? Are we in a better situation now, or were we in a better situation back then? We should return with a landslide victory to welcome Bei Bei's return. According to the compet.i.tion's proceedings, we only have to win five rounds in a row until Bei Bei's injuries recover. We only have to win two more before he can return to top condition."

　　Everyone looked a little better after they listened to Huo Yuhao's words. Bei Bei was lying on the bed as he heaved a sigh and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. It's my fault for being too careless. I'm not worthy of being your eldest senior brother! From now on, Huo Yuhao will be a.s.suming command, and he will be the one arranging our battle strategies and tactics."

　　The company nodded their heads, and n.o.body had any objections to this arrangement at all. Huo Yuhao was held in high regard within the Tang Sect, as everyone had seen what he had given for the sect.

　　Bei Bei lowered his voice and said, "What I'm worried about is the Holy Ghost Church. They are an organization of evil soul masters, yet they can come to this place as if it's their right to do so, and they can even partic.i.p.ate in the big compet.i.tion. What does this mean?"
