As soon as the Golden Immortal Realm heavenly prodigies entered the competition, the Misty Sect disciples swarmed in like carp crossing a river, accounting for more than a third of the contestants and utterly overshadowing their rivals.
The Third Elder and the others grinned practically from ear to ear, seeking out elders from other sects to chat and boast, occasionally throwing in a remark:
"How come so few of your heavenly prodigies made the top hundred? Not like our Misty Sect. So many of our disciples made it through that I can't even remember who's who..."
The other sect elders looked as though someone had cast an Immobilization Curse on them. They kept their mouths firmly shut, remaining silent no matter what the Third Elder and his companions said. Go ahead and brag all you like. We simply won't indulge you!
Ying Ming Hao kept shouting encouragement from the spectator stands. With Lin Zihan, Fatty Zhang, and so many others competing, he had no idea whose name to call, so he simply shouted, "Come on!" No one could find fault with that, could they?!
The Golden Immortal Realm competition wasted no time either. They immediately drew lots for their matches, following the same format as before: the strong faced the weak first, then successive matches determined their rankings!
In the first round, Lin Zihan, Fatty Zhang, Luo Bai, Lin Hai, and the others sliced through their opponents as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, advancing into the top fifty. As a result, the Misty Sect disciples overwhelmingly claimed more than half those places, sending the spectators into a frenzy and making them yearn for the Misty Sect all the more!
This round, Lin Zihan faced Meng Wanting,
Zhao Wei faced Xu Xiu,
Lin Qinqin faced Yu Huohuo,
