Alyssa looked around the crowd before she turned to the four princes. Then, she relayed what Rocky had told her. "Mr. Rookie has just put forth a suggestion. He proposed that since Prince Algy and the other three princes were worried about losing the opportunity to compete, we can just take the following performance as the judgment basis. What do you think, brothers?"
When they heard this, Algy and the other three princes looked at each other to gauge each other's reaction. Then Algy said, "It sounds good, but with what criteria will you be judging us? What do you consider good performance and bad performance in action? Besides, the treasure hunting teams under Geoffrey and Woods are obviously stronger. If we take action at the same time, they will still have an advantage."
"Mr. Rookie has also considered that." Alyssa raised an impatient eyebrow, as she waited for them to say anything more. And when they didn't, she continued, "Since the seven-star guardian beast is very powerful, it is unlikely that we can defeat it completely. We have to work together so that we can, at least, obtain that spiritual treasure, while the others are actively distracting it. Therefore, we have to divide into two groups. The first team will be responsible for keeping the seven-star guardian beast at bay. In contrast, the other side will be responsible for breaking the enchanted barrier that protects the spiritual treasure. And for the sake of fairness, the people who will be fighting the seven-star guardian beast will be chosen according to the strength of your treasure hunting team. The strong teams will be chosen with more people than the weaker teams. Through this, we will make sure that all the treasure hunting teams are equally strong."
"If that's the case, then I have no objection. But there must be a standard for the assessment of good performance, right?" Algy said shrewdly.
"The remaining members of the six treasure hunting teams can choose where they will break through. But be aware that as soon as the enchanted barrier is broken, the spiritual treasure will naturally lose its protection. In this way, each treasure hunting team will have a chance to obtain the spiritual treasure. Therefore, the team that can get the spiritual treasure first and bring it out of the flame mountain is the winner," Alyssa explained.
Lucas, the princes, and the other peerless masters at the Divine Stage nodded in agreement. It was a perfect plan.
"That's more like it." Algy nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Geoffrey, do you have any problem with that? Your treasure hunting team is the strongest, so I'm afraid you have to send more people out to support the other groups," Alyssa asked, looking at Geoffrey uncertainly.
Of course, Geoffrey didn't like this plan. But even though it put him in a problematic position, he couldn't simply refuse. No one would get the spiritual treasure in the end, and everyone would blame him. At the same time, he couldn't say no because they could end up being judged by their performance in the Hell of Dragon Fang. If that happened, Woods would have a significant advantage over him. Moreover, Rocky was the one who found the spiritual treasure, which was also very disadvantageous to him. He had no choice but to try his best.
"No problem." Geoffrey finally nodded his head.
"Great! That's it. Now, I will pick members from each treasure hunting team to form a new team." After this declaration, Alyssa began to pick out the people she intended to assign to distract the seven-star guardian beast. They would be joining her from the original treasure hunting team.
There were three peerless masters at the Divine Stage in Geoffrey's team, two in Woods' team, and one in the team of the other princes. Therefore, the two peerless masters from Geoffrey's team was transferred out, leaving only Alexander to be in charge. On the other hand, Woods' group was left with only one master at the Divine Stage, Elder Brook, upon Lucas' self-recommendation.
After that, one to three masters at the Supernal Stage were drawn out from each treasure hunting team. Since the number of the masters at the Supernal Stage in Woods' team was the largest, three masters were drawn out.
Finally, Alyssa chose three peerless masters at the Divine Stage and eight masters at the Supernal Stage from the six treasure hunting teams.
After the reshuffle, the remaining strength of the six treasure hunting teams was almost equal. But it remained to be seen which team would win. The six treasure hunting teams would have to depend on their abilities to obtain the coveted spiritual treasure.
