"F... First place!"
"He... he surpassed... Fang Hong and became the new number one of the Inner Hall!"
"How long has it been?! From the time he entered the Inner Hall until now, it hasn't even been a full year. He's... he's a monster!"
After the dead silence, a deafening uproar swept through the courtyard like a tsunami. The faces of all the disciples who witnessed this were etched with utter shock and disbelief.
Although they had a feeling this might happen, the impact of seeing it unfold for real was still incredibly intense.
The news spread at an astonishing speed.
In her private Martial Arts Room, Fang Xue was practicing her Swordsmanship. When she heard her servant's report, a flaw immediately appeared in her Sword Techniques.
She froze for a moment. A complex emotion flickered in her cool eyes, but then it seemed as if she let out a sigh of relief.
"Fang Hong... was surpassed by him too?"
