My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1766

"My esteemed friends of the East, I believe it takes a life-and-death struggle to truly push the young to grow. What do you think?" Maidee asked with a faint smile.

No one from the Satanic Union would be participating in the matches, so whether it was a fight until first blood or a fight to the death, his guild would not be affected at all. He hoped to pit the Western cultivators in a life-and-death struggle with the Eastern cultivators as it would not only train the Western cultivators but also weaken the Eastern cultivation world to some extent.

Dallas pondered for a moment and then replied, "I think we should stop at first blood. We're all here to obtain treasures. There's no need to risk our lives for this."

Hearing this, Maidee smiled gently, "Then as you say, we'll fight until first blood."

Both sides returned to their respective factions to explain the arena rules to the participating cultivators.

When Ryan heard the first blood rule, he immediately pouted, "Fighting until first blood is too boring. I wanted to kill more of them!"

Dallas laughed. "You need to consider others. Not everyone is a monster like you!"

Ryan's eyes brightened as if he thought of something. "How about this? I become the arena master and challenge all the Western experts below the Legendary Realm. But the rules should be changed to no holds barred!"

Dallas immediately shook his head. "No way. The Western faction has about 50 King Realm experts. They could just tire you out in a series of battles."

Ryan looked disappointed. "Alright then. I'll make sure not to kill them."

Dallas continued, "That's not acceptable either. You have to stop the moment your opponent surrenders.”

Ryan scratched his head in frustration. "This isn’t allowed, that isn't allowed. What's the point of this, then?"

Dallas chuckled. "Our goal is to win, not to kill. Heaven cherishes life, and so should we. If you become too bloodthirsty, you’ll stray to the demonic path!"

Ryan was slightly taken aback but took these words to heart. It did look like his bloodlust had grown stronger ever since he inherited Murdoch's legacy.

Dallas patted Ryan on the shoulder. "Winning this match and obtaining the sacred sword of ice will bring glory to our country. Don't be overly focused on hatred."

Ryan nodded. "Alright, I understand.”
