"Elder Zhu, it looks like Meng Hongliang has his sights set on Chu Qingyun. This doesn't look good."
"Looks like he'll be the first one eliminated. He might even be the very first person eliminated in the entire competition."
"Haha, Old Zhu, I have to say, you really misjudged this time!"
Several Inner Sect Elders said to Elder Zhu Zhijing, who was next to them.
These nine were the Inner and Outer Sect Elders responsible for assigning the participating disciples to the forty-eight combat rings.
Among them, Zhu Zhijing had advocated for treating Chu Qingyun as a Quasi-Core Disciple, giving him a "separate" combat ring and not assigning him an opponent that was too strong.
However, only one Outer Elder supported him; the other seven were opposed.
They simply didn't believe in Chu Qingyun's strength.
