After the second round in the low batch, the top eight teams that remain are GMS, the outer hall of CLS, the outer hall of Blissful Path sect, Thunderbolt Sect, and the outer hall of Silver Moon Sect. Additionally, outer hall of Ironwood Sect, outer hall of Golden Sun Sect, and outer hall of Arctic Veil Sect are also still in the competition. With these remaining teams, each round from now on will pose a greater challenge to handle.
Now, the elder requested the sect head or another elder to come forward and select the next opponent for the upcoming round. Meanwhile, Li Tian surprised everyone by asking Quan Ning to choose as the first disciple. This caused a stir among the crowd as he implied that his disciple could rival the elders. Quan Ning then chose the Golden Sun Sect as their opponent. Therefore, the next round matchups are as follows: the CLS will face the Artic Veil Sect, the Blissful Path Sect will compete against the Silver Moon Sect, and the Thunderbolt Sect will go up against the Ironwood Sect.
During the first round of the pill competition, the disciples of the CLS and Artic Veil Sect showcased their skills. The CLS easily emerged as the winners thanks to their advanced abilities, while the martial arts and sword fighting competitions ended in a similar manner due to the CLS's versatile skill set compared to the Artic Veil Sect's focus solely on the ice element.
In the same manner, the Blissful Path Sect emerged victorious against the Silver Moon Sect in subsequent rounds, while the Thunderbolt Sect suffered defeat at the hands of the Ironwood Sect.
The GMS and Golden Sun Sect were easily defeated in the pill competition, but emerged victorious in casting. The Martial round presented challenges with high resistance and defense, but they still managed to secure a three to two win. Although their fire and earth attributes were defeated by ice and water in the Sword fight, they ultimately triumphed against lightning and earth. A draw in the fire round ultimately led to GMS's victory.
