Wu Ling had lost to the Jade Devouring Sky Python. By rights, Fairy Meng Shang could now have taken the stage and accepted the challenge. After all, she was also a vice pavilion master of Fengyun Pavilion and was qualified to fight in Ling Tian's place. However, she chose not to, because she wasn't confident she could defeat the Jade Devouring Sky Python.
Fairy Meng Shang's strength was about the same as Wu Ling's. Since Wu Ling couldn't defeat the Jade Devouring Sky Python, she naturally couldn't either, so there was no need for her to take the stage.
At this, everyone looked toward Ling Tian, their anticipation for his challenge against the Jade Devouring Sky Python growing. This would likely be his strongest opponent since the arranged battle against Gao Feng and the other seven, so of course they were eager to see what would happen.
Naturally, they had great confidence in Ling Tian's strength and didn't believe the Jade Devouring Sky Python could defeat him.
Leaving aside Ling Tian and the others, who were looking forward to the challenges ahead, let's turn to Chi Xue and his companions.
Seeing the Jade Devouring Sky Python defeat Wu Ling without much difficulty, the Po Family Brothers were elated. They saw hope of defeating and capturing Ling Tian, which would naturally give them a chance to obtain the Phoenix Soul Fruit and the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique. At the thought that Po Tian and Chi Xue might one day surpass Ling Tian and Feng Lingzi, they couldn't help getting excited.
Of course, Chi Xue, Po Di, and the others wore grave expressions. They weren't very confident that the Jade Devouring Sky Python could defeat Ling Tian, let alone capture him alive. After all, everyone knew that defeating someone was far easier
