The first round of the main tournament of the Ten Thousand Souls Contest lasted an entire day.
Eight hundred participants, facing off in pairs, with only four hundred advancing.
And Ye Xiao's name was repeatedly mentioned by countless people throughout the day.
"Have you heard? That Ye Xiao at the peak of Foundation Establishment crushed all his opponents in just one move!"
"Not just one move? I watched all his matches, and at most, it took him three moves! Those in the Golden Core Stage are like paper compared to him!"
"Where on earth did this guy come from? I've never heard of him before!"
"Who cares where he's from, tomorrow's second round will definitely be more exciting. I bet he won't make it past the second round; his opponent will be a half-step Nascent Soul expert!"
"Are you stupid? If he can defeat a Golden Core Stage in three moves, a half-step Nascent Soul would probably take just five or six moves!"
