The audience was instantly ignited. Everyone shouted and cheered. After the crowd finished cheering, the host yelled, “Everyone’s very enthusiastic, so let’s begin. First of all, this disciple competition will adopt a new rule to match the opponents randomly on the spot. Isn’t it exciting?” “What? Match the opponents randomly? Wow!” “This is so exciting! If the strongest is matched with the weakest, then…” For a moment, there was a heated discussion. The host pointed to the huge electronic screen behind him and shouted, “Now, let’s take a look at the list of final participants for the disciple competition this year! Let the random matching begin!” In an instant, both sides of the large electronic screen that represented the participant lists of the North and South rolled and flashed rapidly. Everyone’s breathing became tense! The host shouted, “Three, two, one, stop!” The screen froze, and the final list for the competition was released. All eyes were fixed on the electronic screen that displayed the final list of matches. “Hey, Fennel Leigh is up against Auric Singer, who’s the eldest young master of the Singer family. He’s an unquestionable kingship holder. Who’s Fennel Leigh?” “I don’t know. And look, Stanley Berry is up against… Philip Clarke?” “Whoa, that’s the young master of the Berry family. It was rumored that he was a kingship holder long ago, and he’s very strong. Who’s Philip Clarke? I’ve never heard of him at all. Is he strong?” “Rick Davenport, Ethan Clarke, Maine Jones, and Stuart Carr. Are they newcomers?”

In an instant, there was a heated discussion. However, everyone figured it out soon. This time, the South would surely lose again! With Stanley Berry and Auric Singer competing, their opponents, Philip Clarke and Fennel Leigh would definitely lose. It would be an instant kill! “Hahaha, maybe the South sent them just to make up the numbers! These people don’ t even have a ranking on the disciple list! This is rubbish!” “Huh, I say those idiots from the South shouldn’t compete in the first place. This is embarrassing.” Hearing the various discussions in the venue, Philip and the others were indifferent. On the side, Ernest Turner said with a sneer, “Young Patriarch Clarke, it seems that no one is optimistic about you. That’s to be expected. After all, with such a matchup, Terrain Villa is sure to win.” Philip looked sideways and said with a sneer, “Villa Master Turner, are you so sure that we’ll lose?” Hearing this, Ernest frowned and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I admit that you’re strong enough to destroy the Singer family, but Young Master Berry and Young Master Auric Singer are not people you can figure out. You’ll know their strength on stage later!” Then, Ernest snorted, turned to a young man on his side, and said, “You’re the first one up. Get ready and give us a good head start!” “Yes, Villa Master!” The young talent responded, glanced at Philip arrogantly, and said provocatively, “I’ll win the first match and let you know the gap between the North and the South!” Philip smiled lightly and said, “I hope so.”
