Above the arena, both contestants had assumed their fighting stances.
Bai Ye did not wield a weapon, and Lu Chuan, too, was bare-handed; they circled each other step by step, each probing the other.
Bai Ye's eyes were fixed intently on Lu Chuan's fists, his attention highly focused.
This match was of paramount importance. If Bai Ye won, not only would he obtain the Divine Tree branch, he would also become the Great Elder's direct disciple and acquire a good amount of gold and various martial arts skills.
Similarly, he could cause the downfall of the Hua family and help the Sky Martial Sect to support a new clan to power in Flower City.
All these immense benefits told him that he could not afford to lose this match!
For Lu Chuan, the pressure was not so great.
The survival or destruction of the Hua family didn't significantly affect Lu Chuan, and his current opponent wasn't particularly strong.
As long as he performed steadily, victory was assured.
Whoosh!
