Thus, when Lu Zhi appeared at this moment, hardly anyone was surprised. As the number one person in the Northwest Region, it was only natural for him to emerge first.
It was just that the way Lu Zhi appeared was somewhat off. Rather than charging out on his own, it would be more accurate to say that he had been kicked out. His initial posture was exceedingly disheveled, nothing like the calm and composed bearing of someone who had won first place.
