Xiao Jin knew He Liancheng had gone easy on him. He sighed to himself, then cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother He is highly skilled. I admit defeat."
He Liancheng showed no sign of pride. He returned the salute and said, "I was merely lucky."
Afterward, both Xiao Jin and He Liancheng had their own matches against Huang Guanglie of the Southern Suppression Sect.
Huang Guanglie cultivated a Wood Attribute Skill. His match against Xiao Jin went to the time limit without a victor, resulting in a draw.
He Liancheng, however, claimed another victory. He defeated Huang Guanglie to emerge as the winner in the competition for first place.
Zhong Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening.
Interestingly, in the subsequent contest for second place, the three disciples found themselves in a three-way tie, with each having won one match and lost one match.
