"I won't be holding back!" Qing Jianzi declared, his smile fading and his expression turning serious.
Fang Lin also stopped his banter, his face full of gravity.
The martial arts platform was spacious enough for them to unleash their full potential in the duel. Protective arrays enclosed the area, ensuring bystanders wouldn't be affected.
This battle was not about victory, but an exchange of skills. Nevertheless, neither Fang Lin nor Qing Jianzi let their guard down or took each other lightly.
The two of them were about ten steps apart, staring intently at each other, neither of them making the first move.
In reality, the duel had already commenced. They were both waiting for the other to strike first since whoever did would inevitably reveal a weakness.
Time trickled by. Those watching from the audience were growing impatient. Nobody dared to speak out of turn, fully aware that the venerable elders present would not tolerate any disruption.
