    Chapter 2669


    Jackie had the urge to burst outughing at the decline he was seeing.


    It was about time, and they could not dy for much longer, so Elder Maurice turned to look at Jackie


    with a frown.


    The moment Jackie looked at Elder Maurice, he knew the elder had a lot to say. Jackie pursed his lips


    helplessly, knowing that Elder Maurice was disconcerted. The tournament was incredibly important,


    after all.


    If they won, they would not even need topete in the third stage; they would win over Sky Peak


    Pavilion with two wins out of three possible ones. However, if they lost, there would be too many


    variables that would follow.


    Elder Maurice’s conflicted expression was awfully visible, and Mr. Zayne was no different. He, too,


    wished for the tournament to be a sess.


    After all, they would have to bear the wrath of Phoenix Valley’s higher-ups if they lost, and no one


    would be able toe out of it unscathed. Mr. Zyane had nned on not saying anything to not give


    Jackie too much pressure, but the pressure he felt was too much to bear.


    Before Jackie walked into the room prepared for him, Mr. Zayne suddenly walked forward and


    whispered, “You were right before. The key to this match isn’t you, but…”


    Jackie frowned as he sighed helplessly. “Mr. Zayne, it’s pointless for you to worry. Just wait for the


    results. I can only tell you that I’ll do well, but I can’t guarantee what’ll happen with the others.


    “It’s apetition in the end, and the results won’t all be totaled together but counted individually. The


    one I’m facing is Bradley. As long as I beat Bradley, I’d have done my part. As for everything else, that’s


    out of my control.”


    It was as if Master Forrest had heard what the two of them were saying as he suddenly spoke, “All of


    you should have an understanding of how the results will be counted this time.”

    Jackie frowned. Master Forrest had brushed past the topic earlier, not going into it in detail. Master


    Forrest let out a smile as he nced at Jackie, moving forward.


    He slightly raised his chin as he said, “The six of you will be refining the Three Suns Pill together. The


    target is to sessfully refine the pill, and the one with the shortest time taken will be ranked higher.


    “If the six of you all manage to refine the Three Suns Pill, then all of your times will be added together


    and the side with the lowest total time will win.


    “However, if not everyone seeds in refining it, then the side who refines the most pills will win. Have


    I made it clear enough?


    “Feel free to voice out any opinions you have. Of course, I’ll just give it a listen. After all, both I and


    Elder Maurice set these criteria.”


    Jackie sighed internally. Master Forrest was clearly aiming those words at Phoenix Valley. The rules


    were very much in Sky Peak Pavilion’s favor.


    Jackie’s skills were already in for all to see, and as long as he performed like he usually would, he


    would be able to beat everyone there. However, this match was incredibly special.


    Only if everyone managed to refine the Three Suns Pill in a day would the time be used as a metric.


    However, if not everyone managed to refine the Three Suns Pill, then the side with the most pills would


    win. Even though they had not started, Jackie was sure that there would be those who would fail.
