It's somewhat bullying.
There's no need to mention Bai Yu; being of middle Core Formation and having been personally trained by Liu Tangxi for three years, if she doesn't make it to the top ten, she might as well cut her throat herself without Liu Tangxi having to do anything.
Lin Jiangxian, on the other hand, was slightly unlucky. In the previous round of sixty-four into thirty-two, she encountered a high Core Formation disciple, before Liang Yu did in a later round, and thus, after a struggle, she was regrettably eliminated.
Although she had mastered a good set of skills, she had joined too late, wasting much of her talents, and there was also a significant realm gap. The cultivation technique and path she practiced were not as domineering as Liang Yu's or Jiang Feng's.
