Everyone knew that Shangguan Xiao was the top student in the Herbalist Division. Even if he did not participate in the competition, no one would question his abilities.
Furthermore, according to Shangguan Xiao's roommate, he had already passed the tests of several Great Herbalists in the library. He had also successfully become an assistant to Great Master Pu Lisi.
Even though he was known as an assistant, everyone knew that it was the position of a disciple.
Shangguan Xiao was a strong and resolute person. Since he had obtained a Great Master's guidance, the other students thought that their hopes were dashed.
"Don't be disheartened. The second place is pretty good too."
They knew that they would have to bid farewell to the first place if Shengguan Xiao was there.
