The top ten students, except for Huo Xian'er, including Ye Ling, were all being fiercely contested by the four Spirit Tamer Academies.

This was quite normal, as the top ten were always the prime targets for recruitment, and with only so many spots available, competition was inevitable.

Huo Xian'er was not contested because she had already made her choice from the beginning.

She was destined to join the Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academy, so the other three academies didn't even consider competing for her.
