Fang Lin's words functioned like a stone thrown onto the calm surface of a lake, stirring up thousands of ripples.
All the people looked at him, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"He's actually challenging Guo Zhen?"
"Fang Lin sure likes to make a commotion each time."
"This time, he's likely to make a fool of himself."
"Not necessarily. It's always hard to measure this man by common sense."
···
The crowd buzzed with discussion, some people disdained Fang Lin's decision to challenge Guo Zhen, viewing it as a self-inflicted punishment.
Others had a faint expectation for Fang Lin, hoping that he could once again surprise everyone.
That being said, a vast majority rationally believed that Fang Lin would not be able to defeat Guo Zhen.
After all, Chu He who had challenged Su Xiaotong had just met a disastrous defeat. Although Fang Lin had performed excellently before, at this stage, the actual power of a Pill Refiner was what mattered, not some side skills.
