After defeating the fierce beasts, only about thirty realm masters remained in the arena. Everyone was tacitly aware of the situation and began seeking battles with realm masters of similar rankings. There were also those who felt confident in their abilities and sought out stronger opponents to test their mettle.
However, the outcomes were not as expected. High scores typically indicated strong disciples under a master's tutelage, and naturally, the realm masters from those forces would be formidable as well. Currently, the Lanyan Royal School held the top score, while the Beast Clan trailed in second.
Interestingly, the Beast Clan elder chose not to challenge Gu Lan, ranked first, instead seeking out the elder from the Ghost Clan. He had initially aimed to confront Gu Lan but, having witnessed Gu Lan's true strength during the earlier chaos, he recognized that he was outmatched and opted for a more manageable opponent.
