Clean and decisive, Master Zhang claimed a brilliant victory.
After Zhang Xiaojiang's victory, Suo Ming and Zhou Qian took their turns on stage. They both had to fight their way through their matches, but they also advanced successfully.
Li Tianyi faced even less resistance and won with ease, not even needing to use his Holy Statue. He was already passionate about cultivation, and forging the Fire Heart Sword had made him even more formidable.
Although the Holy Hall Beings were all winning, these preliminary fights were merely a culling of the weak, making it impossible to gauge anyone's true strength.
Hu Jing and Yang Ying also made their appearances. Other than their beauty, they didn't cause much of a stir, securing their victories in a routine fashion. Moreover, their attacks were quite measured; they didn't fight viciously just for a shocking effect.
It wasn't until the afternoon that it was Wang Meng's turn.
