After exchanging over a hundred moves, blood trickled from Su Xiaokang's nose and mouth. Hearing the Sky Sword Pavilion elder announce the match result, a bitter smile crossed his face as he turned to Han Wudao and said:
"Before the New Dragon List Tournament started, my minimum goal was to make it to the top six of the ten new dragons, aiming for the top five. But now it seems I can't even hope for the last spot."
Han Wudao glanced at the others on the tenth floor and said:
"You don't need to be discouraged; we're in the same boat. There are too many new rising experts this year. The contestants on the tenth floor, I'm not confident I can beat any of them. Even on the ninth floor, Xiao Yu and Yan Hu, among others, are formidable opponents. It's certain that I won't be able to hold onto the title of one of the ten new dragons."
Su Xiaokang remained silent, casting a distant glance at Luo Feng, recalling the first meeting at the Flowing Cloud Region's New Talents Assembly.
