While Old Man Zhuge and Bi You were engrossed in their discussion, Wu Changqing's booming voice resounded once more.
"Next up, Ji Ningshuang from the Zhengyang Sect versus Wang Chuan from the Qingyun Sect."
Upon hearing Ji Ningshuang's name, Chu Yi immediately grew excited.
"Finally, it's her turn."
Nan Gong Yue's defeat earlier seemed to have slipped from everyone's mind; every gaze now fixated on Ji Ningshuang.
Under the collective attention, Ji Ningshuang rose slowly. Before anyone could grasp what was happening, she had already appeared on the Battle Platform.
Draped in a flowing dress, Ji Ningshuang, much like yesterday, commanded everyone's full attention.
Her long, silky hair swayed gently, her expression calm and indifferent—as unchanging as every moment Chu Yi had watched her.
From the first time Chu Yi laid eyes on her until now, Ji Ningshuang hadn't spoken a single word.
