The entire Martial Arts Gymnasium quieted down a bit.
People were originally discussing how Chen Fan was going to be beaten up, but in the next second, Huo Liancheng conceded the match on his own initiative.
This left most people unable to react.
Li Chengfeng frowned, "What is Huo Liancheng doing? Does he not want the Martial Arts resources of Linzhou anymore?"
Xiao Qiang's face was full of astonishment, "His opponent... conceded? What does that mean? Beating this guy should have been a piece of cake, right? Why concede?"
Wang Yun also looked surprised, "Could there be some shady dealings in this Martial Arts Tournament?"
Song Qian let out a soft sigh of relief, then said, "I've heard that the Martial Arts Tournament is linked to the allocation of Martial Arts resources in various regions. The people who step onto the stage not only represent themselves but also represent the Martial Arts Circle behind them, so it's unlikely that there are any shady dealings."
