Atop the high platform, the Martial Arts Hall Masters sensed this steady and restrained aura, each giving an imperceptible nod.
"This Sun Yan is truly a rare genius. After suffering the humiliation of a broken leg, he didn't fall into despair but rose from the ashes. No wonder he was once ranked alongside Cui Wanhe," someone commented, their tone tinged with admiration.
Before the words had even faded, an agile figure from the Canglan Martial Arts Hall camp below shot up, leaping onto the arena platform like a great bird.
"Zhou Qi of the Canglan Martial Arts Hall! Twenty-eight years old, early Flesh Refining Realm. I await your instruction!"
"Early Flesh Refining Realm at twenty-eight... this Zhou Qi is no ordinary person. It looks like Canglan Martial Arts Hall is making a bid for a spot in the five-hall alliance!"
Everyone on the platform understood, and their expressions grew tense.
