The next day, Gao Yuerou arrived very early. Then, everyone headed to the training grounds behind the Heaven-Reaching Martial Pavilion.
All the new students looked at Wen Qingye with awe, their eyes filled with admiration, jealousy, and a whole spectrum of other reactions.
On the viewing platform, the Mountain Masters, Vice Directors, and Inner Courtyard teachers were all watching the scene below.
Today was the semi-finals, and only four people remained: Wen Qingye of North Mountain, Lang Feng of South Mountain, Guu Lei of West Mountain, and Wei Qiutong of East Mountain.
The contestants drew their lots and walked down from the platform.
Soon, the Announcement Stele displayed the names for the first match: Lang Feng of South Mountain versus Wei Qiutong of East Mountain.
Wei Qiutong's expression changed the moment he saw it. He had been hoping to face Wen Qingye, which would have given him a chance to advance to the finals. But now, it seemed all his hopes had turned to dust.
