Led by Liu Wan and Li Dayao, Chu Lingguang and the others made their way from the back courtyard to the Martial Arts Arena.
They were all surprised to find a crowd of dignitaries and nobles seated there.
'Eldest Brother.'
Chu Lingguang scanned the crowd.
He immediately spotted Yang Shaorong.
Yang Shaorong was a Captain in the Qiling Governor's Mansion, commanding three thousand soldiers. As a man of high station and considerable power, he was naturally qualified to enter, observe the competition, and evaluate the merits of Li Dayao and Liu Wan.
He was even seated right at the front.
Yang Shaorong spotted Chu Lingguang at the same time.
Ever since Chu Lingguang took first place in the initial round by achieving a full-body breakthrough, Yang Shaorong had held high hopes for him. On the day the second-round results were announced, Li Dayao and Liu Wan had put the news on lockdown; not even the Imperial Guard Captains dared to leak a word.
