The two of them didn't have to wait for a referee or something to start the match for them.
They immediately began the battle with each other
There was no warning or sign that they fight had started, they just both knew it.
Wang Dong lifted the heavy gauntlets on his hands and immediately threw out a quick left jab and a straight right.
Planting his foot firmly into the ground, Lou Lan immediately swerved to the side and under the attack of the right fist.
Pulling out his bo staff, he pushed it out and struck the flat end firmly into Wang Dong's chest.
The sound of a dense object firmly striking him in the chest resounded in the air as Wang Dong took two steps back.
Patting the crease caused from the staff striking him, Wang Dong chuckled as he advanced casually.
Suddenly Lou Lan lost track of where he was.
It was as if he disappeared from sight but he knew it was just his opponent moving at blinding speeds.
Lou Lan didn't even think as he immediately swing his staff to his left, where a powerful fist met him.
The force of the punch caused him to fly back a few steps and land in the edge of the arena.
"Hell yeah! Get him Young Master Wang! Wahoo!"
"Dammit! I placed my bets in the challenger!"
"This is to be expected from the young master of the Wang family."
Shouts and cheers could be heard on the side lines as the gamblers who made their bets previously celebrated.
Some of them were already assured of their victory from the brief interaction while others still clung on to hope of victory.
"Hey kid, don't you think you made your bet too rashly?"
The sound of sneerful laughter could be heard from a single man who was speaking to Xue Chang.
He had seen Xue Chang use an exorbitant amount of money for betting on the fight.
When he saw all of that money within the hands of a child, he immediately knew this kid was someone of high status.
His envy and desire caused him to be gleeful at the child's misfortune. He was angry that he himself couldn't obtain an equivalent amount of money, so he took the anger out of the child who seemed to be losing the bet.
But he couldn't hurt the kid physically else risk angering his backing. So he did it verbally instead.
Xue Chang just shook his head with his eyes still closed while saying, "The fight continues on, don't assume victory just yet."
And just as he said that, a surprised murmur could be heard.
Looking back to the arena, everyone saw Lou Lan swung his staff around wildly as if swinging at an invisible enemy.
Completely ignoring Wang Dong who was in front of him, he muttered to himself, "Looks like my warm ups are already done."
Looking at Wang Dong who was charging at him again, Lou Lan didn't move in inch as he waited for his opponent to come closer.
And just when he was a meter away, finally Lou Lan acted.
"HAH!"
A loud cry reverberated within the air causing wind current to wash over everyone present.
The shout froze Wang Dong in place for a second. It was a jarring attack that rattled his eardrums.
And with Wang Dong frozen in place, Lou Lan began the counter attack.
A baleful aura erupted from Lou Lan as he took a single step forward.
This step caused the land to tremble as Lou Lan's presence rose.
From an outside perspective, it seemed as if he grew twice his height.
An invisible pressure emanated from him like a human looking down on an ant.
"Wang Dong, give up now. If not, then this next attack will kill you!"
Gripping his staff in both hands, Lou Lan lifted it up, causing the horrifying presence to be strengthened even further.
Wang Dong's pupils dilated as the sensation of death began to pass through him.
"This is what I was looking for! A true challenge!"
Wang Dong laughed as he brought up his fist in preparation to face the attack head on.
"COME!"
And with that, Lou Lan swung down.
