Shi Nian is number 37, so her opponent is number 38.
The crowd quickly checked among themselves and confirmed their opponents.
Shi Nian looked at the middle-aged man across from her, with his slightly graying hair, and fell silent.
The man said calmly, "Although you are just at the Qi Refining Peak, it may seem unsportsmanlike for me to fight you. However, the reward for the champion is too important to me, so this time, I will not hold back."
The world of cultivation is incredibly cruel.
Apart from the outlier Shi Nian, the others from Ling Tian Peak were all quite talented; even the latest to join, Lin Tiantian, reached the Golden Core Stage without much trouble.
But what's the reality?
In the cultivation world, most people can break through from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, only one in a hundred can break through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage.
