As time passed, the other two also defeated their respective opponents, and every contestant had faced one another.
Thus, the rankings from fourth place onward were confirmed.
Fourth place was Feng Chao. His Thousand Armies and Ten Thousand Horses broke through Zongzheng Yunlou's gravity field, and with a leg technique containing the Great Momentum of Mountain, he claimed victory.
Fifth place naturally went to Zongzheng Yunlou.
Sixth was Zhu Ningyun. She had successively defeated Golden Saber Song Qi and Luo Long, another master swordsman.
Unfortunately, her attack power fell just short. She failed to break through Zongzheng Yunlou's gravity field and could only take sixth place.
Seventh, eighth, and ninth place went to Zou Changmeng, Luo Long, and Song Qi respectively.
Song Qi's saber ultimately lost to Luo Long's sword again, just as it had last time, while neither of them had been able to defeat Zou Changmeng's Butterfly Wings Double Flight.
Tenth place was Wei Yu, while eleventh was Li Biehe.
As for the former staff expert Shanshou Qing and the others, they had all been pushed back, each occupying twelfth through fifteenth place.
Overall, the changes in this ranking were enormous, surpassing every previous grand competition.
Take Li Biehe, for instance. By past standards, he had been guaranteed a place in the top ten, yet this time he had only ranked eleventh.
While everyone marveled at how much weight this ranking carried, they also sighed with emotion. Before long, however, something else drew their attention.
The battle for the top three was about to begin.
The elders arranging the matches had deliberately left Lu Ming and the other two until the end, clearly intending for them to be the grand finale.
They obviously wanted a peak showdown to give this grand competition a perfect curtain call.
"So nerve-racking.
