Hou Bing's words settled Situ Baili's incident with ease. The elders of the of the Miwa family then began to discuss the issue of the match up. From the five groups, five contenders were supposed to come on top.
Now with Situ Baili's withdrawal, they had four people left to compete for the top positions. From the Guardian Sect, the young genius and disciple of the Sect Master, Tian Jian qualified. From the heavenly maiden sect, Ming Yanzi qualified. Samsara from the Broken Moon Hall qualified undefeated, and lastly, Shi Lang. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
These four people managed to manage to climb the top undefeated. The people who lost one fights or more were destined to be ranked below them so they did not need to compete for the top. If they had any doubts after the final battle, they can try to raise a challenge, but if they are defeated, they will be crippled for life.
Cultivators should not always think about rushing ahead and face obstacle, but they should also practice restraint. Thus, the rule. The Third Elder of the Miwa family said something to Miwa Nova, who nodded and said, "The semi-finals will be held by drawing the lots for the fights. Does anyone have any problem?"
The people shook their heads and Miwa Nova called the four participants to the centre of the ground. She took out a bag and said, "This bag is made from Black Steel Silk, it can block spiritual consciousness of even Dao Sovereigns. Please put your hand inside and pull out a token."
The people nodded, the first one to pull out the token was Tian Jian, then Ming Yanzi, followed by Shi Lang and lastly Samsara. Miwa Nova asked them to reveal the tokens and the people opened their fists. A nail sized token was revealed. Shi Lang was going to fight Samsara, and Ming Yanzi was going face to face with Tian Jian.
Miwa Nova asked, "You can decide who wishes to go and duel first."
Shi Lang looked at the people before he said, "I wish to exchange notes with Fellow Daoist Samsara."
Samsara raised her head and replied, "I have no problem."
Tian Jian and Ming Yanzi nodded together in affirmation as well.
Miwa Nova nodded and replied, "Please enter the spatial zone."
The two contenders nodded and placed their hands on the crystal ball.

The Hall Master of the Broken Moon Hall said, "Senior Brother, your treasured disciple has run into trouble."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hall Master of the Martial Spirit Hall, Master Yan smiled and said, "You are speaking a bit too early, Junior Sister, let us watch how Xiao Lang wins."
Everyone looked at her as if she was stupid. Situ Tian Hu chuckled, and said, "You all are quite generous, helping the enemy. Teaching them techniques to defeat your own disciples."
Lao Yuesha smiled and replied, "I am willing to swear on my Dao heart that I did not teach anything that is forbidden, just the use of Dao Laws. He is not like the green house plants you raise in your backyard. He walks his own path even."
The people from the two halls shared a special relation so they did not make a fuss, but one of the elders said, "Big sis Yuesha, what if this kid really defeated Samsara?"
Lao Yuesha said, "She will still have a chance to rank third. Do not worry, this competition is held to encourage the young men and women out there to work hard and strive tall in the world of cultivation. Everyone who managed to be selected for the representation is a genius, and losing means they still have the room to improve and pursue invincibility. Also, what are you worried about; they are young. Young people should be bold and do things without too much hesitation. If a fair loss is enough to hamper them, then they did not really understand the essence of invincibility."
Hou Bing was listening to it all, and commented, "Well said."
The elders wanted to reach when Yu Xeidi jumped from her chair and said, "Big Sister, see, Master just grabbed the void and that big sister appeared."
Hao Mei pulled her to sit back down.

Inside the spatial battlefield, Shi Lang was standing in a carefree manner, however, the moment Samsara vanished from his vision, he used the move, Shura Haven, turning the seven meters around him to be a domain that could perceive any minute change. Samsara had indeed been slowly approaching Shi Lang.
The Terran did not use his sensory abilities because the structure of the spatial pocket was not something he could analyze, yes, for the first time in his life, the ability that allowed him the edge over the world, did not work.
However, he was not deterred by this, on the contrary, something unexpected made him feel excited. Shi Lang's brain did not work like normal people. Keeping aside the fact that he had reached the Supreme realm and he was basically unfazed by such changes, it was more likely that he had taken after the author who is a weirdo himself.
As soon as Samsara stepped inside the Shura Haven boundary, every movement of hers become apparent to Shi Lang. The lady took out a small knife but just as she was about to attack the Terran, the young man raised his hand and grasped her neck accurately.
Samsara appeared before the people, and shock was visible on her face. She asked, "How?"
Shi Lang smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist, we all have our secrets, don't we?"
Samsara realized her folly and said, "I admit defeat, thank you for going easy on me."
The first semi final came to an end. The people were shocked by how overpowering Shi Lang was.
