Bai Feifei was defeated by Tantai Lingzi and ended up ranking third.
However, the nightmare was far from over.
Afterwards, Leng Hao successively defeated Yue Ren and Bai Feifei, rising to third among the top ten core disciples.
This young man, whose cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer, had defeated Bai Feifei so thoroughly that she had no fight left in her, concluding the battle within a hundred moves.
Dai Yuling directly challenged Yue Ren and won, only to be narrowly defeated by Bai Feifei. After all, combat was not her forte. Defeating Yue Ren and achieving the rank of fifth among the top ten core disciples was already quite an accomplishment for her.
Shangguan Lei then defeated the once-unstoppable prodigy Ming Tian, securing the seventh position.
Ming Tian ranked eighth.
Under Ling Xiao's guidance, Zhao Zhi successfully obtained the ninth rank among the top ten core disciples.
