"Li Muchen, you performed very well. In my view, you are destined to have a place in the next Grandmaster Hall competition."
In the distance, Elder Yun Husheng rose with a smile and offered his praise.
Those words changed the expressions of countless people.
Su Yi smiled. "Elder, you flatter me. This disciple has only just arrived and cannot bear such lavish praise."
