The arena buzzed with excitement. Thousands of disciples, nobles, and cultivators packed the stands, waiting for the second round to begin. A massive jade board displayed the matchups:
🔹 Hei Long vs Silver Claw Sect's Genius🔹 Lin Fan vs Ocean Blade Pavilion's Second Disciple🔹 Bai Luoluo vs Sword Maiden of Red Hills🔹 Zhao Chun vs... literally a stick with a face drawn on it (the stick forfeits)
Match 1 – Hei Long vs Silver Claw Sect's Genius
The announcer's voice echoed: "First match! The Saint of Sect versus Silver Claw's number one disciple, Feng Yushu!"
Feng Yushu, a tall, muscular man with long gray hair and claws for weapons, pointed at Hei Long. "I've waited to test myself against you!"
Hei Long yawned. "Claws? Seriously? What are you, a house cat?"
Yushu roared and leapt forward with lightning-fast strikes—only for Hei Long to casually dodge, step on his foot, and send him flying with a flick to the forehead.
The crowd gasped.
BOOM.
