The rest of the third day was spent without doing much.
The Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group was already certain that they would be able to get first place as long as they turned in even one of the Raksha Lightning Grass that they obtained.
Not to mention that they had plenty of other herbs that they could turn in along with that, so they weren't worried about gathering more herbs.
What Xiao Ming and Mo Sha were more worried about was the possibility of being attacked by someone. Well, not exactly attacked since they did have the little bear for protection if that happened.
They were more afraid that someone would come and steal the herbs from them at the last second.
It was the most terrifying when you were right at the end and you were certain of your victory, only to have it taken away from under you.
That was why they didn't dare let their guards down.
But it wasn't as if anyone would even be able to do that with the little bear watching.
When time was up, the spiritual boat flew over the Ten Thousand Beast Valley again and picked up everyone that was here.
Those that missed this would be considered forfeit from the tournament and they would have to find their own way back, so everyone quickly got onto the spiritual boat.
It was just that after getting on the spiritual boat, something happened...
...
Back in the square.
The Martial Might Sect elder stood in front of everyone again while the screens had been turned off.
Since the first round was over, there was nothing left for them to watch.
There were some people that had excited looks on their faces and there were some people that had disappointed looks on their faces.
Just based on these expressions, it was clear which group had done well and which group had done poorly.
But that wasn't the main thing.
The main thing was that the spiritual boat never came back.
While everyone was waiting for their disciples to return, the elder from the Martial Might Sect suddenly announced...
"Everyone, please return to your residences and wait until the start of round two. We will be sending the results from round one to everyone soon, so please wait for that to arrive."
The moment that everyone heard this, they immediately knitted their brows.
There was no one that moved as they looked at the elder on stage like they were asking him just where their disciples were. Not a single person seemed like they were going to leave without seeing the disciples of their sect.
The elder naturally could see this, but he just calmly said, "We have temporarily placed all of the contestants in separate courtyards so that they can focus on preparing for the second round. I'm sure that everyone is worried about them, but you can be certain that they will be taken care of by our people. At the same time, you will be able to see them once the second round begins."
Everyone deeply knitted their brows when they heard this.
It must have been done by the Martial Might Sect in an attempt to save face for themselves.
There was no doubt that it was a small move from them to make sure that they didn't lose too much face.
So the Demon Palm Sect was second in the first round instead of tying with the Love Sect for first.
After everything seemed settled and there was no one around, there was something that crawled around Lin Fan's arm. This was a green vine like thing that had been on his arm the entire time that no one had noticed since it had remained still.
Anyone that saw it would have thought that it was just a decoration instead of a living thing.
But it was indeed a living thing and it was one of Lin Fan's important partners.
It was also his solution for the current situation.
"Are you ready?" Lin Fan asked the green vine.
The green vine's head looked up at Lin Fan and gave a nod before closing its eyes to focus on something.
There were several mice that spread out from the courtyard that they were in and headed out in different directions of the Martial Might Sect.
These were Greeny's puppets that were spreading out to look for the Love Sect disciples that had been confined somewhere.
It only took a few minutes for Greeny to react.
"They're being held in a courtyard near the outer courtyard? It's not just them but also the disciples of the other sects? It seems like they're quite bold to keep the disciples from the various sects there." Lin Fan said to himself before having Greeny do a thing.
With a thought from Greeny, there was one specific mouse that headed to the courtyard that Xiao Ming and the others were in.
Half an hour later, that mouse came back to where Lin Fan was with two things.
One was a note that had Xiao Ming's writing on it.
This was the report that Lin Fan had asked for from Xiao Ming on everything that had happened in the Ten Thousand Beast Valley.
The other was something that was inside of the mouse's stomach.
After delivering the note, the mouse suddenly started to throw this thing up.
It was a Storage Ring.
However, Lin Fan didn't pick it up right away and gathered some water with his spiritual energy to clean it up first. It was covered in the vomit of the mouse since it had kept it in its stomach.
Lin Fan didn't check the Storage Ring first, he went to read the note that Xiao Ming gave him.

When he read this note, he couldn't help knitting his brows, but he also said...
"As expected."
