"I don't think so. Senior Brother Lei Heng and Senior Sister Su Rhyme also have considerable strength. Moreover, Senior Brother Lu Yuan hasn't even used his full force yet. If they encounter Zhao Xu, who knows who will win?"
The crowd continued to argue endlessly. However, some shrewd disciples seized the opportunity to open betting pools, wagering on who would ultimately take first place in the inner sect.
Lu Yuan, however, paid no attention to the discussions around him, silently operating his cultivation technique, working hard to adjust his own status to its peak.
No one among the inner sect's top ten was an easy opponent.
Let alone,
Zhao Xu, Su Rhyme, and Lei Heng all possessed battle power on par with Soul Palace realm experts.
If Lu Yuan encountered them, it would likely take some effort on his part to defeat them.
"First battle, Zhao Xu versus Lei Heng!"
Soon enough,
An inner sect elder announced the pairings for the first round of matches.
