Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu accepted Zhu Qingzhou and Huang Nishang's challenges respectively, so they no longer needed to take part in the remaining draw.
Actually, this was a good thing for Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu. If they had joined the draw and happened to draw the same number, wouldn't that mean fighting their fellow disciple?
"Wan Zizhen, Tu Qing, Leng Xingguang, Li Wanyu, step forward and draw."
Luo Wuling spread his palm open again. The eight glowing lots from before had now become four.
"Then let me go first." Wan Zizhen gave a hearty laugh. He walked up to Luo Wuling, cupped his hands in salute, and casually plucked a glowing lot from Luo Wuling's hand, gripping it tightly.
Held in Wan Zizhen's grasp, the glow of the lot gradually faded, transforming into a jade slip.
Wan Zizhen glanced at it. Instead of concealing the result, he raised it high for everyone to see clearly.
On Wan Zizhen's jade slip was the number "1."
"Wan Zizhen is in the first match."
"I wonder who'll be unlucky enough to draw Wan Zizhen!"
"..."
The number "1" represented the first match.
The martial artist who drew the same number would become Wan Zizhen's opponent.
After Wan Zizhen finished drawing, the tall young man beside him, carrying a long saber, silently walked up to Luo Wuling.
This man was Tu Qing.
Tu Qing looked to be over thirty, and his face was filled with the weathered weariness of someone who had seen much of the world.
His disheveled hair, listless eyes, unkempt beard, and black robe worn smooth and shiny... He looked just like a saber-wielder who had only just returned from roaming the ends of the earth.
Speaking of Tu Qing... he was practically a legend throughout the Evil Moon
