This round tournament rules for the top five ranking battles meant that every Prodigy needed to face each of the other four once. After Fang Hao fought Nether Fiend, Fairy Ling Yu, and Nether Child in succession and achieved a three-match winning streak, the spotlight on the stage temporarily shifted from him to the fierce battles between the other top Geniuses. The results of these matches would directly determine Fang Hao's final ranking, especially the weight of his final showdown with Soaring Wind.
Soaring Wind vs. Nether Fiend
First to take the stage were the Heavenly Sword Sect's Eldest Senior Brother Soaring Wind and the Profound Nether Cult's Saint Nether Fiend. Both were at the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Realm, making them the two with the highest cultivation in this Martial Competition; this battle was highly anticipated.
