"Victory has been decided."
As the heavenly voice rang out, the arena abruptly vanished, and the two stone platforms separated, announcing the victor and the defeated.
Xiao Jingyue, who had won, was able to regulate her breathing and recover her qi, while Xiao Zheng, who had lost, was also granted sweet dew to repair his damaged physical body and vital essence.
The battle between Xiao Jingyue and Xiao Zheng had dragged on for quite some time. The other Golden Core Realm matches had long since ended.
In the battle between Zhou Huo and Zhao Youran, Zhou Huo had narrowly won by relying on three Qingyang Sword Pellets. Wang Cunyang had also fought Fang Qingdi, while Xie Zhengyun and Su Yiqing, who had been ranked first and second, had likewise decided their winner.
At this point, after the first round of challenges, the top ten of the Golden Core Realm were Su Yiqing, Xie Zhengyun, Wang Cunyang, Fang Qingdi, Zhou Huo, Zhao Youran, Xiao Jingyue, Xiao Zheng, Qian Yun, and Zhang Ao.
Since Zhang Ao had taken the initiative to challenge and lost, he no longer had a chance to challenge Qian Yun unless the person ranked ninth changed.
Qian Yun had originally not wanted to fight any further, but for the chance to listen to the Dao of Xuanche Immortal Monarch, he still had to challenge Xiao Zheng and stake everything on one battle.
As for Xiao Jingyue, her target was first place in the Golden Core Realm. All six people ahead of her were her opponents.
Thus, after a brief rest, with Penglai sparing no expense and using the world's origin energy to help the disciples recover, Xiao Jingyue launched a challenge against Zhao Youran. Zhou Huo and Wang Cunyang also impatiently challenged Fang Qingdi and Xie Zhengyun. Together
