This was the first time in history the Martial Heaven Grand Ritual had been halted mid-competition. In a way, Luo Xiu had just made history.
It couldn't be helped. The circumstances were just that special.
After stepping down from the Combat Stage, Luo Xiu was led by Liu Jianghu toward the judges' bench.
As they walked, Luo Xiu asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Jianghu looked at Luo Xiu, a bitter smile on his face.
He had probably guessed the reason, but he didn't know how to explain it to Luo Xiu.
"Let's go hear what the judges have to say first."
"..."
A moment later, they arrived at the judges' bench.
Luo Xiu faced the elders and asked, "So, what you're saying is... the outcome of the Martial Heaven Grand Ritual isn't decided by personal strength, but by you judges?"
Just moments before, Luo Xiu had found out why the competition was suddenly halted. Apparently, the way he won was too simple—crude, even—and it had provoked some unfavorable reactions.
