Playing Baili

Whenever disciples ranked in the bottom forty become opponents, the competition requires a bit more time. However, the higher-ranked disciples spend less time in battle, often ending with just one encounter. This stark difference in time spent clearly indicates the gap in strength between the first and twentieth ranked disciples.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang sighed softly, realizing that the Heavenly Gama Sect was filled with talented individuals, and entering the finals was no easy task. It was even more challenging to secure a high rank. If she hadn't spent the past three months in seclusion, diligently cultivating her skills, it would have been nearly impossible for her to earn a spot in the Battle for Supremacy.

Soon, the first-ranked disciple from the Vermilion Bird Hall stepped onto the stage. Bai Li Hong Zhuang recognized the figure very well—it was none other than Gui Jian Yuan, the senior brother of the Vermilion Bird Hall. When she first went to the meditation hall, Gui Jian Yuan had shared a lot of information about practicing in the Vermilion Bird Hall. However, she rarely saw him afterwards, so this was a chance to catch up.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang had a good impression of the amiable Gui Jian Yuan. She hadn't noticed his prominent position earlier, but now that he appeared on the stage, she finally paid attention. As expected, as the senior brother of the Vermilion Bird Hall, Gui Jian Yuan possessed formidable strength. Although he wasn't the top expert of the Vermilion Bird Hall, his ranking should still be quite high.

Upon seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's interest in Gui Jian Yuan, Ye Chen Yu couldn't help but speak up. "Gui Senior Brother is the second-ranked disciple of our Vermilion Bird Hall, just below Shen Xiu Han. He faces no pressure in this competition."

Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded in agreement, sharing the same thoughts as Ye Chen Yu. From the moment Gui Jian Yuan and his opponent clashed, it was evident how wide the gap between them was. It was only a matter of time before Gui Jian Yuan emerged victorious.

As time passed, one disciple after another took the stage, and the hours slipped away unnoticed. The enthusiasm of the disciples surrounding the competition stage remained high, especially when their admired disciples stepped onto the stage—it was as if they were injected with excitement. However, there were also many disciples who faced mockery and derision.

Tan Le Han's strength was not bad, having reached the Green Realm Second Stage. It was no wonder she had been so arrogant before. In this first preliminary match, Tan Le Han emerged victorious. After her victory, she provocatively glanced at Bai Li Hong Zhuang, seemingly implying, "See, this is true talent!"

Faced with Tan Le Han's provocation, Bai Li Hong Zhuang responded without hesitation, raising her thumb in a mocking gesture. However, her thumb was directed downward.

This gesture infuriated Tan Le Han to the point of wanting to kill Bai Li Hong Zhuang. Meanwhile, Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled happily. It was harmless to taunt her opponent a bit, as it helped vent her emotions and improve her cultivation.

In the afternoon, amidst the anticipation and waiting, it was finally Bai Li Hong Zhuang's turn to take the stage.

"The twenty-seventh match: Lu Zheng Yang from the Azure Dragon Hall versus Bai Li Hong Zhuang from the Vermilion Bird Hall!"

As the voice of the elder referee resounded, the disciples present were instantly energized. Although the battle between top experts was highly anticipated, this match was equally intriguing because the two opponents were quite interesting.
