The people of the Eastern Barren Territory were not very shocked. The Eastern Barren College had lost pretty badly, but upon closer thought, wouldn't the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan prepare well before creating the college and calling everyone to Chaoge City? They naturally wouldn't underestimate the College or Cottage. Similarly, they were also at the same level as the College. This victory was a well-planned result.
It was just that Gu Dongliu's powerful performance yesterday destroyed their preparations. They must have been absolutely confident in Lu Nantian. If Lu Nantian had won, the Dongqin College would completely steal the Eastern Barren College's spotlight.
The College understood this too. Zhu Qing, Zong Xu, and Bai Lishu were all clear. The two forces partnered up to create the Dongqin College just to replace them. They could see from this arrangement. It was definite.
