The forums were in an uproar.
Zhou Run's supporters held the upper hand in the public debate, armed with two pieces of ironclad evidence: "vitality index" and "cultivation time." Their logic was clear, their arguments concrete.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng's supporters were relying more on intuition—on the hope that the "monster" would create another miracle.

The entire arena was packed to the rafters, the atmosphere already heated to a fever pitch.
The four semi-finalists were "Old Lai Zi" Zhou Run, "New Lai Zi" Qin Beast, and two other highly respected and immensely powerful senior students from the Fourth Level Division.
However, the semi-finals themselves left every spectator who had been anticipating a fierce clash sorely disappointed.
