"Junior Brother, may you triumph in the first battle!"
Sun Tao cupped his hands, and Jiang Fan followed suit. Xu Yang returned the gesture and turned, strolling leisurely toward the arena.
Opposite him, Du Ziming's battle intent surged, his aura fierce and sharp. As long as he defeated Xu Yang—the man who had beaten Lin Jingyu to death—he would become renowned throughout Yun Province. Not only would he step on Xu Yang to rise in status, but he would also curry favor with Huo Xiaochen, the Xiao family, and the Kong family.
"Sparring must stop when the outcome is clear. Remember, you must not intentionally injure or kill your opponent, or you will be expelled from the Academy. Let the match begin," Jin Yu announced in a deep voice from the sidelines.
