Over on Jian Buhui’s side, Dazhu Peak’s head, Li Tianyao, was feeling incredibly smug. With a grin, he said, "Old Cang, your top disciple isn't holding up, is he? How did he regress so much? Losing in the very first round to my Dazhu Peak—and Li Ming is only my third disciple, somewhere in the mid-to-upper tier among my students at that."
He was naturally thrilled and satisfied, as his third disciple, Li Ming, had just defeated Cang Qing’s strongest core disciple, Linghu Dong.
Cang Qing, on the other hand, felt deeply embarrassed. He had pinned high hopes on Linghu Dong, but things had gone awry. He hadn't expected Linghu Dong to lose his very first match. Faced with Li Tianyao’s sarcasm, he remained silent, convinced that his Xiaozhu Peak was destined to finish at the bottom once again. After all, his remaining two personal disciples, Qin Yanyan and Li Wanting, were only at the 10th Layer of Qi Condensation and the 3rd Layer of Qi Condensation, respectively. Victory was impossible; Xiaozhu Peak was certain to lose.
