The next matches proceeded swiftly. The first to compete was Shao Yanlong from the Crimson King's Mansion. His opponent was an Eighth Rank Peak Cultivator from the Flying Sky Sect.
The outcome of the match was hardly a surprise—Shao Yanlong won with just one move, securing an easy victory.
The second match was even simpler. Crown Prince Jiang Yu was pitted against an Eighth Rank Peak Cultivator from the Lin Xian Sect.
His opponent didn't even step onto the stage, choosing instead to admit defeat directly.
The third match was Zong Xuan of the Ancient Palace against a prodigy from the Lingxi Sect, who was also at the Eighth Rank Peak.
The two were evenly matched, but in the end, Zong Xuan exerted his full strength to defeat his opponent.
The first three matches concluded quickly, and it was soon Xu Ping'an's turn in the fourth match.
Many thought there was no suspense about this fight either.
