Lin Chen didn't speak, just quietly watched the young man in the distance.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone upon him.
From his gaze, Lin Chen saw complex emotions.
Unwillingness, disappointment, calmness, acceptance...
There was no time to think further as the elder's announcement echoed in his ears.
"The finals on the third stage, begin!"
"Lin Chen, a Disciple of Pill Peak, versus Ao Shixiang, a Disciple of Array Peak!"
Lin Chen slowly stood up and leapt onto the stage.
As soon as the elder announced the start of the match, Lin Chen made his move...
With a sudden burst, Lin Chen charged at Ao Shixiang with astonishing speed.
The power of his leap left deep footprints on the stage.
With a wave of his hand, six flying swords circled around Lin Chen and swiftly slashed at Ao Shixiang in the distance.
"Such speed!"
Ao Shixiang was momentarily stunned but his hands were rapidly forming seals without stopping.
On the stage, dust rose up in waves...
