Upon hearing his name called, Hun Qing's gaze tightened slightly.
His tall, burly figure slowly made his way toward the Myriad Sects War Domain, as though every step weighed heavily upon him.
To cultivate to this level with only the resources and treatment afforded to ordinary disciples of Outer Territory sects, his journey had not been easy.
He had needed to put in far more effort than others, to train with a far more desperate resolve, perhaps only then barely becoming an opponent on the same level as someone like Wan Jianyuan.
And this battle was Hun Qing's battle to prove his name!
He wanted everyone to know that though he had been born of a concubine, he was no worse than the legitimate princes!
Watching his opponent's back recede, Li Tianming smiled and said, "Relax a little. Just show your own brilliance. Of course, winning would be even better."
Hun Qing paused slightly, then let out a soft laugh. "Thank you!"
He raised one hand in acknowledgment without looking back.
Hun Qing had never expected that, when his own brothers looked down on him, his biological father had abandoned him, and no one held expectations for him, the only support he received at this moment would come from Li Tianming, someone he had met by chance.
Yet it was precisely because of that small interlude that the tension in both his mind and body seemed to ease slightly.
Above the Myriad Sects War Domain!
Hun Qing and Wan Jianyuan entered the arena at the same time.
As they awaited battle, Wan Jianyuan's eyes shone like brilliant stars as she coldly and proudly looked at the man before her.
"I didn't expect you to truly persist this far and fight your way into the final four," Wan Jianyuan said slowly.
