The semifinals came to an end, and the points were quickly tallied.
Those who had remained undefeated were Chi Xuan, He Jianjun, and Lu Ming. The three of them had each accumulated eighteen points.
Next came those who had lost one match: Golden Saber Song Qi, who ranked sixth in Group One; Feng Chao from Group Two; and Zongzheng Yunlou from Group Three. They had sixteen points each.
After them were those who had lost two matches: Zou Changmeng, who ranked fourth; Zhu Ningyun; and Li Biehe, who had defeated the External Skill expert Huan Shaoyue.
The three of them had fourteen points each.
After that came Luo Long in fifth place, Xu Tong in tenth, Huan Shaoyue, Young Master Xiaoyao Wei Yu, and the rest.

As a result, everyone looked forward to the finals even more.
However, it was already late
