Hou Guo strode onto the stage, his expression confident and filled with disdain. As the announcer opened his mouth to introduce him, Hou Guo snatched the microphone, his voice booming across the arena.
"Huang, you coward!" he shouted. "You claim to be the top rookie, but you can only win with tricks! You've been running from the Golden Warrior Division for months now. Come out, and I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
The crowd erupted in response, picking up Hou Guo's chant.
"Coward! Show up! Coward! Show up!" The words thundered through the arena, growing louder with each repetition.
In the VIP area, Zhang Chi, Luo Li, Nie Li, and Nie Yang watched with keen interest.
"Did you finally decide to set your champion free?" Nie Yang teased Zhang Chi, a smirk playing on his lips.
Zhang Chi remained silent, unsure if Huang—Yan Jin—would make an appearance.
