By afternoon, the blazing heat of the sun had faded!
The sixty contestants gathered at the Grand Proving Ground once again!
Today was the day the top three would be decided.
They were all eager to find out who they would team up with!
Just then, a boy in white approached alongside a girl in priestly robes.
The priest girl gazed at the boy with limpid eyes and said with a grin, "Team leader, good luck!"
"Mm. I'll make the top three!" The boy nodded.
These two were Knight Number One, Yang Tian, and Priest Number Ten, Qingqing!
Even Han Qian had no idea how these two had ended up together.
Had Li Jie been there instead of in seclusion attempting a breakthrough, he would certainly have known. After all, he had witnessed Yang Tian's growth all along, serving as the "guardian" of his romantic fortunes.
"Knight Number One!"
"Knight Number One!"
"Pick me for your team later..."
At the sight of Yang Tian, several contestants shouted excitedly.
With a teammate capable of slaying a level-eight demon beast, they could practically coast to victory.
"You're pretty popular!"
Watching them, Qingqing teased him, feeling both fortunate and a little wistful.
She was only a level-seven High Priest, not even level eight. Why had Yang Tian chosen her in particular?
Yang Tian smiled faintly without answering.
After all, he had no idea how to answer.
His appeal was mostly down to his strength.
Still, some people acted on their whims.
Chen Ying'er was one such example, but Yang Tian had merely picked a teammate ahead of time.
"All right, the matches are starting!"
With that, Yang Tian and Qingqing quickened their pace toward the competition area.
Four would become two!
The competition area had therefore been reduced, with two matches taking place
