Watching the figures depart, the other disciples broke into a flurry of discussion. "I wonder who will come out on top in this mission?"
Some guessed Shen Tang. After all, she had brought quite a few people from the Star Alliance. Together, they were a formidable force. Others wagered on Qin Feng, and some said it would be Xu Qing. Both were late-stage three-star Grandmasters, not far from reaching the four-star realm. They also had many strong companions, giving them a good chance of winning.
As for Lin Xuan, however, no one mentioned his name. Although Lin Xuan's performance had been outstanding, he seemed insignificant compared to the many strong, experienced disciples. Besides, Lin Xuan probably didn't have any helpers. In such a scenario, it was impossible for him to win.
