The Ground Race erupted in thunderous cheers.
Lin Zhen had truly done them proud. He had actually eliminated King Yama, a veteran powerhouse of the Endless Race. What a tremendous victory that was!
Dong Xuehan, Tian Nie, and King Yama were the three great pillars of the Endless Race, and they rarely tasted defeat.
Even Ye Xingcai, ranked second among the Ground Race, would not have dared claim she could defeat King Yama. Yet Lin Zhen had done it.
Lin Zhen's victory spared the Ground Race from the embarrassing situation of three against five and preserved their dignity.
With that, this round of the challenge tournament came to an end, and all those advancing had been decided.
There were eight people who advanced directly: Qiong Jing, Ye Xingcai, Augustine, and Lin Zhen from the Ground Race.
From the Endless Race, there were Dong Xuehan, Tian Nie, Edward, and Tian Zhuo.
Competing for fifth and sixth place were King Yama, An Luoqi, He Ying, and the World Chaos Demon King.
Competing for seventh through tenth place were the Giant Dragon King, India, Dark Phoenix, Heaven Splitting Tiger King, Heaven Sword Guest, Heavenly Patrolman, Red Widow, and the Element Controller.
Because the Endless Race had one more person than the Ground Race, the Ground Race could only be ranked as high as ninth place.
After ninth place came eleventh place directly. There was no tenth-place slot.
This was a humiliation for the Ground Race. Fortunately, Lin Zhen had done them proud. Otherwise, the Ground Race would have been missing one person even from the top four.
The lower rankings were also worth fighting for. Fifth and sixth place felt very different, and eighth and tenth place did not sound the same either. So the powerhouses still had to proceed to the next
