Chen Xing sprayed a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.
The humiliation! The disgrace!
Just moments ago, he had tried to teach Hong Yu a harsh lesson under the guise of a "spar for guidance," only to become the one who was taught a lesson himself.
On top of that, Hong Yu's infuriating comment—"It's no crime for a man to cry"—deeply wounded Chen Xing's arrogant pride and fragile spirit. It was already a miracle he had the courage to go on living after being defeated so humiliatingly by a new Half-Step Earth Soul Realm disciple in front of everyone.
As for his fainting, well, Hong Yu wouldn't hold it against him.
He clapped his hands, stood up, and sighed dramatically. "Alas, wasn't this just a friendly spar? Was it necessary to be so serious?" He looked at the stunned new disciples and grinned. "Wouldn't you agree?"
The crowd's expressions froze for a moment before they all began nodding vigorously...
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Hong is right!"
