Wang Renyu paid no heed to the shock of those below and simply announced the names of the five newly appointed Demon Generals.
Some rejoiced at hearing those five names, while others despaired.
The five were among the twenty people below the platform. When they heard Wang Renyu call their names, surprise flashed across their faces before their expressions returned to normal.
As for the other fifteen, their expressions turned ugly.
If they had still seemed composed before, they were clearly growing anxious now.
"Elder Wang, how can you choose five people without having them compete?" one of them shouted.
The remaining fourteen all looked up and stared at Wang Renyu on the platform. They could no longer remain calm.
"The strength of those five is beyond question," Wang Renyu said indifferently. "We knew you would be unwilling to accept this, which is why we are giving eight others a chance."
Without waiting for anyone else to ask, Wang Renyu called out the names of those eight.
With that, seven of those below the platform were eliminated outright.
Their expressions shifted several times before they finally gave helpless sighs.
They had to admit that they were indeed weaker than those eight, let alone the five newly appointed Demon Generals. They were even further from being a match for them.
As for the eight, their expressions were complicated. Only they knew exactly what they were thinking.
"Zhuo Mengshen is among the eight," Huang Xiao said with a sigh.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Du Jiliang's and Lu Qingzhong's faces.
Naturally, they had hoped Zhuo Mengshen would be excluded outright.
However, Zhuo Mengshen was quite strong. Being among the eight meant he had a chance to compete for the sole opportunity to issue a challenge.
"Zhuo Mengshen probably has no chance,"
