The Dual Sovereign Pavilion was just a seventh-grade clan in Chaos Continent. Furthermore, Luther was not even among the top disciples of the clan. Compared to Chris and Edward, he was lacking behind.
With those two there, it was a pipe dream for Luther to win the slaughter gambit. The slaughter gambit was unlike any of the other contests. If he wanted to win, the nine other participants needed to die. Only one person would be able to survive.
If you lost, you died. Under such a massive gulf in skill, Luther still participated. That confused Fane.
There were two types of warriors who took part in the slaughter gambits. The first were the daredevils who did not care about putting their lives on the line, the second was the warriors with absolute confidence in their skills. Furthermore, they needed to see who the other participants were before they joined.
If there were strong participants, many warriors would choose to delay their participation. After all, they would die if they lost!
Normally, disciples from seventh-grade clans, whether they were inner disciples or chosen disciples, would not participate in the slaughter gambits.
Disciples of seventh-grade clans were definitely not in positions that were as high as disciples of eighth-grade clans, but they were still notable existences in their respective continents. As long as they put in the effort, their future would still be bright.
Hence, warriors like that usually treasure their lives a lot. They would not participate in such a dangerous contest. Most importantly, Luther had been the last participant.
He had clearly seen the nine other participants and had heard the discussion from the viewing area as well. He knew of the other participants, yet he still registered.
If he was not suicidal, then it meant that he had his own plans and trump cards. Fane felt like he was facing a logical person, so Fane was curious as to what was going through his mind.
"Probably not. Just think about where they are right now. Luther was the last participant to sign up. He knew very well who the other participants were.
"Yet, even with Chris from the Purple Cloud Pavilion and Edward from the Nimbus Alliance there, he still registered without any hesitation! It means that he's immensely confident in himself! Luther isn't that bad of a warrior either. He's a chosen disciple of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, a seventh-grade clan in White Marsh Continent."
"Could he have some hidden trump card?"
"I don't think he does. Even if he does, it would just disintegrate in front of Chris!"
