Soon, the referee handed the final winning result to Jian Qingqiu, who stood up and announced the result to everyone.
"In this first round of the elimination match, the qualifiers from Lingyin Academy are: Nangong Xiu Jie, Nangong Yue Er, and Jin Xing Yu.
The qualifiers from North Sea Academy are: Xiao Lan Mei, Xue Hao Ling, and Nan Yang Ze.
The qualifiers from Canglan Academy are: Bai Li Hong Zhuang, Gong Shao Qing, Dongfang Yu, and Xia Zhi Qing."
With the announcement of this result, the practitioners from Canglan Academy cheered. Regardless, they had grabbed the limelight in this first round of the elimination match!
"I didn't expect Canglan Academy to be so formidable. They actually have four successful qualifiers. Our previous opinions were all wrong."
"Damn it! I bet on North Sea Academy to win, and now they've lost in the first round. How can they be so arrogant on ordinary days? They really have no shame!"
"If only I had bet on Canglan Academy. The odds for Canglan Academy were the highest!"
Even before the start of the academy exchange, some people had set up betting pools. Since Lingyin Academy was the undisputed number one in everyone's eyes, the betting was between North Sea Academy and Canglan Academy.
The odds for North Sea Academy were 1:1, while the odds for Canglan Academy were 1:10.
Just from this, one could see how low the perceived strength of Canglan Academy was. Despite such high odds, most people still chose North Sea Academy, and very few chose Canglan Academy.
Now, seeing that North Sea Academy was being firmly dominated by Canglan Academy, it was evident how frustrated they were feeling.
However, they couldn't continue placing bets at this point. Otherwise, they really wanted to switch to Canglan Academy.
As a result, North Sea Academy became the target of everyone's criticism.
The expressions of Lu Jinglin and the others had become extremely unsightly. They had come with full confidence, but now only three of them had advanced to the second round, the fewest number of participants, which meant a smaller chance of winning.
The expressions of Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu had become extremely unsightly. They had been extremely arrogant in front of Lu Huaiyan and the others before, but now they didn't even dare to meet their gazes. It was truly embarrassing!
"You all performed terribly this time!"
Mo Xinghai looked displeasedly at the students behind him. He had put so much effort into teaching them, hoping that they would shine in the academy exchange, but now they had only experienced fright!
Lu Jinglin kept her head down. Undoubtedly, she had the worst performance among everyone. She felt like her mentor's gaze was almost devouring her.
Lu Jingqi remained unconscious by the side. Xia Zhi Qing's attack had been too powerful, and even with the pills they had given her, it would probably take some time before she woke up.
"Mentor, we will do our best in the upcoming matches!" Xue Hao Ling clenched his fist tightly and spoke up.
After experiencing this humiliation, he was determined to take revenge from the practitioners of Canglan Academy in the next matches!
Lu Jinglin looked gratefully at Xue Hao Ling. It was Xue Hao Ling's words that freed her from her previous predicament.
She used to think that Xue Hao Ling wasn't that great. She had always let him pursue her without much interest. But now, she felt that Xue Hao Ling had become more of a man than before.
