Tan Tai Chang Feng had drawn with Huan Xin and earned one point. Although Yu Tong now had the same number of points as he did, Yu Tong had yet to face Huan Xin or Fairy Lei Ying, and he would almost certainly lose to either of them. So Tan Tai Chang Feng's fifth-place finish was all but assured. Ling Tian and the others were quite pleased.
After chatting casually for a while, everyone went back to prepare for the coming matches.
Ten days later, Ling Tian and the others began another round of matches. Just as Ling Tian had expected, Tan Tai Chang Feng conceded as soon as he faced Fairy Lei Ying. It was a wise choice; at least he could save his strength for the matches to come.
The matches proceeded one round at a time. Ling Tian, Fairy Meng Shang, and the others had all enjoyed smooth runs, winning every match before Fairy Meng Shang's bout with Huan Xin. The next round was the third-to-last, and Fairy Meng Shang was set to face Huan Xin.
Huan Xin had been badly drained in his earlier fight with Tan Tai Chang Feng and still hadn't fully recovered. Fairy Meng Shang was completely confident she could defeat him.
" Meng Shang, you're up against Huan Xin next. You don't necessarily have to beat him. Save your strength for when you face Fairy Lei Ying..." Ling Tian said to Fairy Meng Shang before she stepped onto the platform, but she cut him off before he could finish.
"I'll give it everything I've got. Huan Xin is also an opponent worth facing at full strength," Fairy Meng Shang said calmly. Seeing Ling Tian smile wryly, she added, "Besides, he won't hold back either. He wants to fight me, after all."
