The sudden turn of events stunned many in the crowd. This was clearly a temper tantrum; unable to win in pattern-making, he was now challenging Lin Xuan to a duel.
In terms of Cultivation, Sun Zhe's was slightly higher, having reached the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Refining Stage! He was a few years older than Lin Xuan, so it was normal for his Cultivation to be a little higher, but it was only a small difference.

"Sun Zhe, your dispute has nothing to do with this competition. Please do not interrupt my announcement!" Luo Xiao said in a stern tone.
