The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 370 Exploiting Loopholes in the Rules (2 Updates)
The finals were fast approaching, and Yunran changed into a new set of clothes. The talismans on these clothes were much better than those in the previous qualifying rounds.

Clearly, the danger level of this final round has increased many times over; otherwise, the competition committee wouldn't have been so willing to go through with it.

Long Ling didn't leave after all, but because Yun Ran had kicked him out before, he moved out with Gu Yuan these past two days with great pride.

Gu Yuan looked at Long Ling speechlessly: "I'm really busy. Otherwise, why don't you find somewhere to go and watch it yourself?"

Long Ling immediately snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and stood at ease, looking extremely arrogant and domineering, and not someone to be trifled with.

"I'm going to sit in the delegates' section because I'm giving you face. Don't be so ungrateful!"

Gu Yuan: ...

Now he seemed to understand why Yun Ran was so annoyed by this guy; his personality was even more annoying than a bratty kid.

Is it okay for just anyone to sit in those delegates' seats? Even if there are no rules, there should at least be some common sense.

Long Ling continued in a sarcastic tone, "No way, no way, you're a section chief, and Xie Ju's confidant, and you can't even arrange a position? You're so useless..."

Listening to Long Ling's incessant ramblings, Gu Yuan felt his head was about to explode.

Now, he truly regrets it; why did he kindly take in such a guy before?

"Fine, fine, go if you want. But let's make it clear first, don't cause any trouble, or I won't pretend I don't know you!"

Long Ling was immediately satisfied, and then looked at Gu Yuan with eyes full of appreciation. This was the treatment a dragon spirit should receive.

He's now unilaterally declaring that he and Gu Yuan are now good friends, and as for Yun Ran, well, get lost!

With a dark expression, Gu Yuan arranged a special position for Long Ling. He sat in the representative's seat, but did not occupy the seat. Instead, he gave him a separate chair.

"Director Gu, you're just assigning anyone randomly..."

Before the speaker could finish speaking, he was glared at by Long Ling's large eyes, which were full of threat.

He then sat down casually, completely disregarding what others thought. Since this was the best view, he would make sure that anyone who dared to displease him would have their entire family unhappy!

"This...this is outrageous! This is utterly outrageous!!!"

Gu Yuan calmly said, "Did he take someone else's spot? Or is it that you're in charge here, and no one else is allowed in this area?"

The delegates: ...

Sure enough, as some people had said before, Gu Yuan was quite unruly. If Director Xie hadn't entrusted many things to Gu Yuan when he left, they would definitely have fallen out by now.

The group, who had been angry for a moment, could only sit down with resentment in their hearts.

But everyone seemed to have reached a consensus: they would absolutely not say another word to Gu Yuan.

As for the people Gu Yuan brought (any Tom, Dick, or Harry), well, they can't see them!

The first round of the competition involves forming teams. The total list of 50 people is divided into 10 groups of 5.

"Now you have ten minutes to form teams freely. Those who are unable to form teams will be randomly selected by drawing lots."

To reiterate, if a team finishes last in the group, the entire team will be eliminated. Please choose carefully.

Everyone participating in the competition was already aware of these rules, so as soon as the staff announced them, people immediately started forming teams. Those from the mystical families already had a list of teams they wanted to form in mind.

Yun Ran is said to be a very strong person in all aspects, but since Yun Ran has some conflicts of interest with the families behind them, she is not a good candidate.

The people who team up now are teammates, but in the end, they will turn from teammates into opponents.

Therefore, when choosing people, everyone has their own selfish motives. They want the chosen person to be the strongest support, but also the easiest person to eliminate.

Xin Fu walked directly up to Yun Ran: "Miss Yun, I would like to team up with you."

He had long understood that wherever Yun Ran was, there was no chance for him to stand out. Besides, he had already pledged allegiance to Yun Ran.

Now, he is to be the stepping stone that propels Yunran to the top. To be defeated by Yunran is, in some ways, a kind of glory.

Yun Ran nodded slightly: "Okay."

Those who made it to the finals came from ordinary backgrounds, a number that was only achieved thanks to Xie Xuzhi's vigorous reforms.

These people naturally formed a camp.

Just when Yunran and Xinfu thought that forming a team would go smoothly.

To everyone's surprise, these people from ordinary backgrounds did not come to ask Yun Ran and his group to team up.

Finally, Yunran's team was short-handed, so according to the default method of the lottery system, their group was forced to include three people from Xuanmen families.

Gu Yuan, sitting in the delegates' seat, frowned deeply upon seeing this scene.

In the past, the competitions were basically teams of people from ordinary backgrounds and teams of people from aristocratic families.

Why has this year turned into such a chaotic battle?

Gu Yuan glanced at one of his men standing not far away, nodded to him, and the man immediately and quietly withdrew to investigate.

Looking at the three people in front of her who were clearly unreliable, Yun Ran understood their intentions almost instantly.

Good heavens, this is a completely open conspiracy! By using coercion, enticement, and challenges, they directly stole the spot that would have gone straight to the finals.

These three are definitely the scoundrels who took the place of those other candidates.

It's clear they intend to sabotage her during the team competition, or even stab her in the back.

If the team performs poorly, even if she is very capable individually, she will be dragged down and the whole team will be eliminated.

Yunran just wanted to give a thumbs up to the person who was causing trouble behind the scenes. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
Their skill in exploiting loopholes in the rules is truly masterful.

Xin Fu naturally understood as well, but it was precisely because he understood that he was so angry now, his fists clenched tightly.

"You guys are shameless!"

Anyone who is about to succeed, only to have it ruined by some people using such despicable means, would be able to swallow this insult?
This move, if used on any player, has a success rate of 99.99%.

Unfortunately, he encountered Yun Ran, who is a versatile fighter. Even without a team, she can defeat any squad. Being her teammate means you can just lie back and relax.

Yunran looked at Xinfu: "Just keep an eye on them and don't give them a chance to self-destruct."
