Soon, the next matches for the Test of Competence flashed on the projection up above, and to no surprise, Xu Qi's name was there.
"Yeah, there was no escaping this conflict, huh?" He thought as he saw Zhang Han's name next to his and the drilling gaze coming from the disciple from a distance. "Really, why can't cultivators be reasonable and accept their loss when it comes to women? All of them, even that Sun Yufeng looked like they had swallowed a pill that only boosted their egos."
