Instantly, quite a few opportunistic martial artists wishing to risk a little for a great reward also stated they were willing to bet on Lu Chen's victory.
Upon seeing this, Shang Qing couldn't let them have their way and hurriedly closed the bets, announcing, "Both contenders have arrived, no more bets accepted!"
Among the sighs of the gathered martial artists, many teachers from the academy arrived; they moved with extreme speed and agility, weaving through the crowd without touching a single student before standing at the foot of the arena!
Lu Chen, upon seeing who had arrived, realized they were all truly formidable masters from the Soul Refinement Realm!
It was no wonder that the Polar Treasure Meeting dared not act within Heavenly Book Academy but merely arranged for Xu Qianqian to be their pawn!
"Chen Lu," at that moment, Li Mingru suddenly spoke, saying, "Spare them if you can."
Lu Chen was puzzled. Was this an appeal for mercy on Wu Chiren's behalf?
