The competition between the Aurous Core cultivators at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai has entered its third round. Those who managed to advance to the Top 8 were certainly no ordinary people.
At this stage of the competition, it's very difficult to predict who would emerge victorious in each match. Even Lin Feng, Cao Wei and Shi Zongyue couldn't ascertain the winners, so those lower-level cultivators had no hope of doing so, since the competitors on both sides were almost evenly matched in terms of strength, with only a fine line between victory and defeat.
If purely comparing raw strength, the differences between them would be miniscule, making this at least no longer the deciding factor of the outcome of the match.
The psychological states, battle strategies and spontaneous reactions to sudden changes of both sides would be the keys to determining the victors. Absolute distinctions between 'strong' and 'weak' would no longer exist.
