Indeed.
In Venerable Gray Three's eyes,
among the remaining disciples-the truly formidable ones-the Double-Sword Daoist seemed to pose the greatest threat. Once Wang Yan got past him, the subsequent matches would be easier... Judging by the abilities and cultivation Wang Yan had displayed in defeating Yue Yang, his chances of winning five or six matches in a row were extremely high...
But Wang Yan knew that Ye Shisan could not be overlooked. He knew all too well how formidable Ye Shisan was. Beating him would be extraordinarily difficult, and even if Wang Yan managed it, he would expend an enormous amount of magic power. If he waited for the successive challengers to wear Ye Shisan down, at least five or six cultivators would have fought by then, leaving very few disciples. Wang Yan needed five or six consecutive victories to have a chance at the top three, which would naturally make things even harder...
The fewer disciples remained, the more desperately they would fight. Some even had secret weapons in reserve for their final bid to make their peak number one...
