Quota Confirmation

Looking at the six people who had finished drawing lots, Lin Ming didn't expect that he was one of the lucky ones. He entered the top ten without fighting and obtained the opportunity to Heart Flame Body Tempering.

Lin Ming wasn't one to overthink things. He had said that this opportunity could only be obtained through fighting. Now that he could obtain it without any effort, it saved him a lot of energy.

After the referee called out that those not participating in this round should leave the field, Lin Ming and the others who were not participating left the center of the square and returned to their respective viewing areas.

As everyone left, only two people remained in the arena: Ye Yu and Wang Sheng, who were selected for this round of the competition.

After everyone left the battle arena, a fierce battle broke out inside, following the announcement of the referee elder.

Although Ye Yu's cultivation level was one star higher than Wang Sheng's, reaching the Dou Spirit Nine Stars, Wang Sheng, as Alchemist, possessed significantly stronger Soul Power than Ye Yu.

This allows Wang Sheng to more accurately control certain details during the match and launch counterattacks. Therefore, although Ye Yu has a higher chance of winning this match, Wang Sheng is not without a chance.

Regarding the match between Wang Sheng and Ye Yu, Lin Ming had a prediction of the odds: approximately 30% to 70%. Wang Sheng had a 30% chance of winning, while Ye Yu had a 70% chance.

Although Wang Sheng's chances of winning are much lower than Ye Yu's, he still has a chance to win if Wang Sheng seizes some opportunities. This is the only match in the third round that still has a bit of suspense.

In the eyes of the onlookers, this was the only match that could truly be called a match. Even though one side had an advantage, the other side wasn't without a chance. As for the next two matches, one featured the Strong Ranking, and the other featured the second- Strong Ranking player.

This kind of competition can't even be called a competition anymore. After all, a competition is called a competition because it's full of suspense. A competition where the result is already determined is at most just going through the motions.

Watching the intense fight below, everyone except a few people was thoroughly enjoying themselves. After all, those who could advance to the third round were no weaklings, especially when the opponents were evenly matched.

"Sigh! Wang Sheng was still a bit too hasty." Lin Ming sighed as he saw Wang Sheng launch another attack.

From Lin Ming's perspective, it was clear that if Wang Sheng had remained calmer, it would have been Ye Yu who was anxious. In that case, Wang Sheng would have been able to use his powerful Soul Power to counter each move, significantly increasing his chances of winning.

After Lin Ming's sigh, Wang Sheng, who was not at a disadvantage in the game, had his attack faltered by Ye Yu, and was now completely suppressed by Ye Yu.

Seeing Wang Sheng completely suppressed, Lin Ming shook his head helplessly. Wang Sheng's chances of winning were now less than 10%, practically a declaration of Wang Sheng defeat.

"Boom!"

A short while later, a loud bang erupted from the arena. After the bang, Wang Sheng didn't even have the strength to stand up; his pale face was devoid of any color.

"Hey! Go and help the deputy Gang Leader down!" Lin Ming said to the rest of the Medicine Gang after a sigh.

Wang Sheng had already made a desperate, all-or-nothing outburst. After the outburst, Wang Sheng was so weak that he was now no match for even a Dou Ling (a martial artist) – let alone a Dou Zhe (a high-level martial artist), they could easily take Wang Sheng life.

In Lin Ming's perception, although Ye Yu's aura had also declined significantly under Wang Sheng's explosive attack, he was still considerably stronger than Wang Sheng. Therefore, Wang Sheng lost this match.

As the energy fluctuations within the arena dissipated, Wang Sheng collapsed weakly to the ground, while his opponent, Ye Yu, though also looking extremely miserable, with his clothes torn by energy everywhere and bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, was still standing.

"Ye Yu has won this round," the elder referee announced.

The result is now quite clear: Wang Sheng has lost his fighting ability, and the referee elder, who has his own judgment, immediately announced the result.

Wang Sheng was well aware of his current situation, so he did not dispute the referee's decision. He then left the competition venue with the help of members of the Medicine Gang.

With this match over, the next two matches were decided without any suspense. As the referee called for the next group of participants to enter, Zi Yan slowly walked down the steps to the competition area.

Upon seeing Zi Yan's arrival, even the referee elders treated her with great respect. After all, the punch from this Brute Force King was no joke; even these elders wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

"Wu Hao! Where is Wu Hao? Hurry up and come up for the match!" After waiting for a while, Wu Hao, the opponent, still hadn't appeared on the field, so the referee called out.

No one in the audience could respond to the elder referee's shouts. After waiting for a while, and seeing that everyone was getting impatient, a weak voice finally rang out.

"Wu Hao said he twisted his ankle when he left the field, so he won't be participating in this match."

Upon hearing this person's words, everyone rolled their eyes at him. No one would believe that a Dou Ling expert could sprain their ankle. It was clearly Wu Hao who was afraid.

The person who spoke knew this would be the outcome. His own words were so clumsy that even he didn't believe them, let alone anyone else. This was precisely why he hesitated for so long before finally speaking. He felt ashamed to say it aloud.

However lame the reason, since the other person voluntarily conceded defeat, the academy couldn't force anyone to participate. So after Zi Yan stepped forward, she was declared the winner of the competition and then walked away.

After Zi Yan won without a match, the next round of Jin Feng's battle against his opponent arrived. Facing this match without suspense, and just as everyone expected, after only the Cultivation Method a cup of tea, Jin Feng's opponent, Liu Qi, conceded defeat, ending the match.

After these three matches, the top ten on the Strong Ranking were all selected. These ten individuals will receive the Sub-flame of the Fallen Heart Flame for body tempering.

After the three matches concluded, Great Elder Su Qian stood up from the high platform, looked at the students below, and then said, "After three days of competition, the top ten on the Strong Ranking have now been determined. Let us congratulate them once again."

Cheers erupted as Great Elder Su Qian finished speaking, making the entire square boil with excitement.
