The martial arts tournament began.
Cheng Guang stood atop the Central Loft on Crane-Crying Island, overseeing everything from his high vantage point.
At this moment, Crane-Crying Island seemed to truly awaken, as powerful bursts of Qi roared from all directions.
Many students from the Martial Academy had already made contact and started fighting.
Even though there were fewer students near the Central Loft, there was still a feeling of bustling activity.
Cheng Guang did not see Qiao Songshan anywhere and had no idea to which corner the simpleton had been thrown.
After watching the fight below for a while, Cheng Guang found it rather uninteresting.
He had originally thought that, as soon as the martial arts tournament began, Qiu Zhiman would instantly cast a banishment, isolating Crane-Crying Island from the outside world.
But Qiu Zhiman clearly had not done so immediately.
