Liang stood at the front of the hall for a few more seconds, his eyes moving across the gathered groups as if checking whether anyone still had something to say. Most people were already preparing to leave, but his gaze eventually shifted toward the ChaosKnight table.
More specifically, it landed on the masked figure seated near IceQueen.
The hall noticed his focus almost at once.
Some of the Tianlan cultivators followed his gaze, while ChaosCleric's shoulders tightened slightly. IceQueen remained calm, though her eyes moved once from Liang to Gabriel.
Liang looked at Gabriel for a moment before speaking.
"Before we depart, I have one personal request."
The room quieted again, everyone curious to know what this personal request was.
Liang's voice stayed calm as he continued, "White Phantom, I would like to spar with you."
