I ignored the gazes around me entirely and instead fixed my eyes on Joshua Rodriguez. I extended my hand, pointing at Joshua Rodriguez, and said, "The Proving Ground, life-and-death battle, Joshua Rodriguez, do you dare accept my challenge, David Johnson?"
Brandon Anderson hadn't taken a few steps before he staggered at these words, nearly falling to the ground!
He turned his terrified eyes toward David Johnson!
Confusion!
Incomprehension!
What on earth was this guy doing? Joshua Rodriguez hadn't sought him out, yet he was courting death on his own!
Challenging Joshua Rodriguez?
Joshua Rodriguez became a Grandmaster before you were even born!
And it's a life-and-death battle!
Such audacity!
Everyone below the stage was dumbfounded—Daniel Johnson, Jerry Clark, Maria Murphy, even Benjamin White, all of their eyes were about to pop out.
Breathing ceased at the moment David Johnson's words fell!
