Sure enough, Xue Zhisheng stood up and said to Chen Zidian, "Chief referee, my situation is much like Sanshui's. I've already sparred with Cai'er privately, and I'm no match for her. I don't want to embarrass myself in public again. Would that be an acceptable reason?"
After speaking, he looked toward Li Zhengzhi, as though asking him as well.
Li Zhengzhi's face was ashen, but he could hardly say anything.
Chen Zidian nodded and said, "This competition upholds the principles of fairness and impartiality. From now on, anyone conceding must explain why, or some points will be deducted from their temple. Let the competition continue."
Once Chen Zidian finished, the draw began. The Light of Selection revolved, selecting the contestants for the next match.
"Temple Master Yang Tian... Temple Master Yang Tian..."
Seeing the Light of Selection move toward Yang Tian, the spectators grew expectant. After all, they favored Yang Tian's New Era more.
But as luck would have it, the Light of Selection once again landed on a member of Dawn of Light, while the other beam landed on the Magic Temple. Almost as if taking revenge, it pitted Dawn of Light directly against the Magic Temple.
Wang Yuanyuan represented Dawn of Light, while Li Zhengzhi's personal disciple, Tan Wan, represented the Magic Temple.
Seeing that her opponent was Wang Yuanyuan, Tan Wan snorted inwardly. Why is Dawn of Light so powerful? Hmph, so what if you're at the ninth tier? Today, I'll test that ninth-tier strength of yours.
Dawn of Light's strength stirred her desire to measure herself against them. Being accepted as Li Zhengzhi's disciple and breaking through to the eighth order at her age already made her outstanding, yet every member of Dawn of Light was stronger than she was.
The same went for New Era.
