As noon approached, the sunlight was dazzling.
On the deck of Xue Mingtai's ship, a fighting ring had been set up with steel frames and oak planks.
Thick ropes, as thick as a man's arm, fenced off the area around the ring, making it extremely sturdy.
On the east side of the deck, there were four Taishi chairs covered with red silk cloth.
In front of each chair, there was a small tea table.
Atop the tables were arranged a variety of fresh flowers and fruits.
The guests invited by Xue Mingtai had already taken their seats.
Each person bore an extraordinary presence, full of energy and vigor, obviously all of them were Martial Arts Masters.
However, the four Taishi chairs at the referee's seat remained empty and unoccupied.
Yang Fei was accompanied to the left by Fan Yi and to the right by Mad Blade as they ascended the deck.
The deck was crowded with people, at least twenty or so.
