Standing alongside Ning Zhuo in first place was none other than Zhong Limei.
This old Nascent Soul Level cultivator was one of the Supreme Elders of Danxia Peak, a former Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall, and among the most seasoned Pill Masters in the entire Myriad Images Sect.
"As expected of Elder Zhong!"
"A truly exceptional performance,"
"With you here, we feel assured."
As soon as Zhong Limei entered the arena, he received congratulations from Jiang Ping, Shen Hongyao, Qin Ke, Qing Baizi, and others.
Some gazes turned towards Ning Zhuo.
Having previously been the sole number one, people were instinctively curious about Ning Zhuo's reaction now that someone matched his standing.
Ning Zhuo remained unfazed and, with a wave of calm composure, cupped his hands in congratulations towards Zhong Limei.
Zhong Limei nodded slightly at Ning Zhuo and then at Jiang Ping and others before joining Tao Liang to converse.
