"Who is that? Just Golden Core Realm and dares to be so presumptuous? Didn't they see that even Brother Hua, who was at the Nascent Soul's final stage, was defeated in one move?"
"Inner sect disciple Ji Zhaoyuan! Usually silent and unremarkable, unexpectedly decides to step forward at this time!"
"Good! Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, even though he knew he was no match, he still dared to draw his sword! Just for this, he is already among the best in the inner sect disciples!"

The onlooking Heavenly Sword Sect disciples buzzed with discussion, with some showing disdain, some admiration, and some worship.
Yet, Li Fan ignored the voices around him, his gaze fixed on Mr. Bai: "Sir's strength must certainly far exceed mine. However, if it's only about understanding the Sword Dao, I'm afraid you might not be stronger than me."
Li Fan was full of confidence, but Mr. Bai just smiled slightly, not refuting him.
