"So, you are the second strongest in the Cloudburst Immortal Sect?" Zhang Long remarked, his gaze fixed on Wang Chen.
"Are you ready to lose like the guy previously?" Zhang Long smirked and his confidence level rose up after defeating Lian Feng.
"You talk too much, for someone who has just defeated Lian Feng. The difference between Lian Feng and me is like heaven and earth." Wang Chen coldly retorted to Zhang Long.
"Battle begins!" The Arena Master shouted.
* Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh *
Wang Chen immediately jumped towards Zhang Long, and before Zhang Long could even react, Zhang Long fist was wrapped in boundless qi, and it shot out towards Zhang Long.
* BAM *
Zhang Long spewed a mouthful of blood, propelled backward as he crashed into the far end of the hall.
"Zhang Long!" Gong Xuanyan shouted.
Many disciples rushed towards Zhang Long and checked up on his injuries.
"Wei Fengyun... Do you not think that your disciple has gone too far?" Gong Xuanyan questioned Wei Fengyun with a tone filled with anger and a hint of murderous intent.
"Hey... Hey... It was just a friendly match, and as they say, accidents happen. Who knows what could have occurred, right? HAHAHAH!" Wei Fengyun laughed loudly.
"You!..." Gong Xuanyan got so mad that he felt like slapping the shit out of someone.
"Jue Xing... Are you not going to step forward yet?" Wang Chen smirked, exuding an aura of confidence that surrounded him.
"Why are you in such a hurry to lose? Hmmph." Jue Xing slowly rose up from his chair, looking towards Wang Chen.
"Besides, you are not even my opponent, I want to fight against Liang Tao!" Jue Xing declared, showing no respect towards Wang Chen.
At that moment, Liang Tao appeared completely at ease, snoozing on his chair as if he were in his own world, oblivious to the events unfolding around him.
"You've wounded my pride. How can you be so sure if I am capable of competing against you or not?" Wang Chen feigned a touch of sadness, pretending to be affected by the belittlement.
* Boom *
Jue Xing jumped up from his chair, up to the arena.
As the anticipation built up for the imminent battle between them, a voice resonated from the arena below, capturing the attention of everyone present.
"Wang Chen… Stand down." Liang Tao, who has been snoozing on his chair, has finally awakened.
"What?! Senior brother Liang, at least let me have a go with him!" Wang Chen beckoned, clearly he wants to fight against Jue Xing.
"Why bother? You will only be defeated in 3 moves.." Liang Tao said, while slowly walking up towards the arena.
"But..." Wang Chen began to retort, but before he could continue, Liang Tao locked eyes with him, revealing a cold and arrogant gaze.
"I said... STAND DOWN!" Liang Tao's voice reverberated with authority, leaving no room for argument.
Wang Chen could only walk down the arena, while looking towards Liang Tao with a hint of hostility.
"Wang Chen, your senior brother Liang has instructed you to stand down. He must have his reasons for it. Forgive him," Wei Fengyun interjected, clearly showing his support for Liang Tao in this situation.
"Hmmph! I will never forget this," Wang Chen retorted icily as he begrudgingly took his seat.
