"Boring. It doesn't seem like there will be any worthy opponents in this competition," Murong Ye said, scanning the crowd listlessly.
"Isn't that just perfect? You guys like tough battles, but I certainly don't," Xiahou Lin said nonchalantly, shrugging.
"Who said there are no worthy opponents? It's better to be cautious, lest we suffer an unexpected setback," Bai Ruhui said, shaking his head. He knew of at least one formidable opponent: a man named Li Liuxing. When Bai Ruhui returned, his master had specifically cautioned him about this person. Although Bai Ruhui had never heard of Li Liuxing, he knew his master wouldn't make baseless claims.
As the three of them conversed, a Purple-robed Elder, who was hosting the competition, strode onto the martial arts platform.
The commotion from the crowd below quickly subsided.
