Xiao Ran was the first to notice Gu Yuexi. He looked up, forcing a smile that was more pained than tears. "We've made a fool of ourselves. We... lost pretty badly..."
He'd had bad luck, matched against Lin Feng from Canglan Province in the third round.
He had thought that even if he lost, he would at least be able to exchange a few dozen blows and gauge his opponent's true strength.
But what was the result?
Ten moves!
He was defeated in just ten moves!
From start to finish, he hadn't even been able to force his opponent to draw the longsword from his back!
The sheer force of that incomparably sharp Minor Success Sword Intent had suffocated him, preventing him from using even seventy percent of his strength!
'How was I supposed to fight that?!'
Bitterness flooded Xiao Ran's heart. He finally understood why rumors claimed that Lin Feng had once slain a Third-Grade Late Stage Demon Beast with a single sword strike.
It was probably... true!
