The fights went on, and Tang Yusheng kept winning. I was proud of him, but I also suspected that something else was going on with the tournament.
First, Sun Liang treated everyone too nicely, and he decided to recruit a lot of new disciples - thirty-eight in total - way before the actual time. That bugged me, but I couldn't figure out his motive.
Second, as I watched the tournament and cheered for my disciple, Sun Liang sneaked out of the area. He used some sort of spell to leave a fake body behind while his real one went somewhere else. I doubted anyone else noticed his movement. I only did because my cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation, and none of the other Elders had that level, except for the Head Elder who was in the Golden Core stage.
