Everyone watched as Huo Ping's palms struck towards Huang Xiaolong's chest, their expressions varied.
Of course, like the middle-aged man with a full beard, most people thought Huang Xiaolong was overestimating himself.
The restaurant owner also shook his head; he had already advised Huang Xiaolong earlier. Huo Ping was this year's champion of the Imperial City battle, already an Innate Second Stage Late Stage expert. Huang Xiaolong appeared to be only about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. How could his strength possibly surpass Huo Ping's?
Huo Ping possessed a Level Thirteen top-level Martial Soul talent. The owner didn't believe Huang Xiaolong's talent could be higher than Huo Ping's.
If his talent was better than Huo Ping's, wouldn't that mean he had a Level Fourteen Martial Soul?
He shook his head. That was impossible.
Now, he just hoped that the expert hiding in the shadows would be able to save Huang Xiaolong.
