As everyone knew, Lu Zhengyang, as the bottom-ranked disciple of the Azure Dragon Hall, was basically considered cannon fodder.
Of course, being cannon fodder in the Battle of the Four Halls was something that many could only dream of.
However, no one expected Lu Zhengyang's opponent to be Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang was undeniably a genius, a fact acknowledged by the disciples of the Tian Gang Sect.
However, Bai Li Hong Zhuang was not a genius cultivator but a genius alchemist!
In the alchemy competition, no one could match Bai Li Hong Zhuang. But in the Battle of the Four Halls, Bai Li Hong Zhuang was at a disadvantage!
Therefore, despite Lu Zhengyang being the bottom-ranked disciple of the Azure Dragon Hall, many still believed that he had a chance of winning.
When Yan Kaicheng, the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall, saw that Lu Zhengyang's opponent was Bai Li Hong Zhuang, his expression became somewhat interesting.
Although it would be embarrassing to defeat Bai Li Hong Zhuang, that was how the Battle of the Four Halls worked.
Even though it was only the first round of the preliminary competition, the more disciples a hall had left, the greater the glory.
Qin Ai immediately saw through Yan Kaicheng's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Bai Li Hong Zhuang's strength was not as simple as everyone thought. Qin Ai was also curious to see Yan Kaicheng's expression when Bai Li Hong Zhuang defeated Lu Zhengyang later.
The thought made Qin Ai very happy, haha.
After seeing that Qin Ai was not at all frustrated but rather quite happy, Yan Kaicheng's thoughts also changed slightly. Could there be some trickery in this matter?
The thought just crossed his mind, but Yan Kaicheng felt it was impossible.
After all, Bai Li Hong Zhuang, as a newly recruited disciple of the Tian Gang Sect, was already at a disadvantage participating in the Battle of the Four Halls.
Among the participating disciples of the four halls, besides Bai Li Hong Zhuang, there were no other newly recruited disciples.
Basically, every time there was a Battle of the Four Halls, newly recruited disciples had no chance to participate, but Bai Li Hong Zhuang was an exception.
The other disciples had been practicing in the Tian Gang Sect for over two years, and their age and strength were superior to Bai Li Hong Zhuang's.
So even if Bai Li Hong Zhuang failed in the Battle of the Four Halls, it would be normal.
"Lu Zhengyang, you're pretty lucky today to draw Bai Li Junior Sister as your opponent. You're definitely going to advance to the second round of the preliminary competition!"
The disciples of the Azure Dragon Hall looked at Lu Zhengyang with envy. Such luck was truly admirable!
"That's not necessarily the case. Bai Li Junior Sister's participation in the Battle of the Four Halls proves her strength is also formidable."
Lu Zhengyang wore a modest smile on his face. He had been working hard in his cultivation despite joining the sect later than others, so even though he obtained a spot in the Battle of the Four Halls, he was considered the bottom-ranked disciple.
But he didn't mind. After all, there was still a long road ahead, and he would have many opportunities to improve.
"You're being too modest. You're too afraid to directly claim this absolute victory. You're too timid!"
The disciples of the Azure Dragon Hall burst into laughter. Bai Li Hong Zhuang was indeed an impressive individual, but in the Battle of the Four Halls, it would be just a formality!
Lu Zhengyang didn't care about what others thought and proceeded to step onto the martial stage.
He believed that both the Young Sect Master and Hall Master Qin were not biased individuals. Similarly, Bai Li Hong Zhuang was definitely not someone who would seek humiliation.
He trusted that Bai Li Hong Zhuang had the strength to stand here.
