"The final outcome is still unknown, there's no need to rush to conclusions," Baili Hongzhuang said calmly, her eyes assessing the situation before her.
The Qingxiao Dynasty had a total of eight cultivators, and after a quick assessment, she realized that their strength was not much different from the cultivators of the Tianyu Dynasty.
Except for the mysterious aura that seemed to conceal the cultivators' cultivation level, she could discern the strength of the others.
It was evident that Nangong Yuer and Nangong Yuer had made significant progress during the past year. The resources invested by the royal family in them were truly extraordinary.
Before their strength had improved, they were already able to defeat the cultivators from the Tianyu Dynasty. With their current progress, the situation would undoubtedly be even better.
As the crowd listened to Baili Hongzhuang's words, they couldn't help but be amazed.
At such a critical moment, Baili Hongzhuang still spoke with such calmness and confidence. It seemed like she was being too audacious, didn't it?
"Master, I sense a dark aura from that cloaked man. His cultivation method seems to be different from the others," Little Black furrowed its brow. It had been observing the cloaked man, finding him truly peculiar.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, also noticing the same. However, regardless of how the cloaked man concealed himself, they would eventually find out.
"Arrogant!" Wei Junjie sneered. Baili Hongzhuang's confidence wouldn't last for long.
"Dongfang Yu, it's lucky for you to be able to participate in the assessment with your current strength," Nangong Yuer chuckled, her eyes showing undisguised disdain.
Back then, Dongfang Yu had been humiliated publicly by Nangong Xiujie, and he had fallen into deep anguish from which he couldn't extricate himself.
She had thought that someone like him would never amount to much in the future, but to her surprise, she encountered him here today. It was truly rare.
Nangong Yuer's eyes also revealed a hint of confusion. Although Baili Hongzhuang and the others were all cultivators from Canglan Academy, it was strange that they could participate in the assessment as a team.
The likelihood of all of them coming from the same dynasty was too small. In any dynasty, they would strive to select at least one royal family member to participate in the assessment.
However, in Baili Hongzhuang's team, all of them were students from Canglan Academy. It was the first time she had seen such a team.
Dongfang Yu's gaze fell upon Nangong Yuer, and his hatred towards the Qingxiao Dynasty's royal family reached its peak.
He still vividly remembered the humiliation he endured from Nangong Xiujie. Although Nangong Xiujie was already dead, the hatred hadn't dissipated. Moreover, Nangong Yuer was just as detestable.
Dongfang Yu clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill Nangong Yuer on the spot.
Seeing this, Gong Shaoqing patted Dongfang Yu's shoulder. As Dongfang Yu's longtime friend, he understood the impact that incident had on him.
Dongfang Yu had always been admired by fellow cultivators and had exceptional talent in cultivation. He had never experienced such humiliation before, and that was why he became so diligent in his cultivation afterward.
