Soaring battle intent. A voice that rang like thunder.
Swelled by surging spiritual energy, it swept outward in a wave of sound.
On the high platform, the young man studying a Pill Recipe slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Kui.
He did not have the jade-like beauty of a cultivator.
Instead, his face was ruddy, almost red, and a faint purple mark between his brows seemed to burn.
He wasted no words.
He leaped up and landed in the arena.
To Chu Kui, it was as though a ball of fire had fallen from the sky.
Chu Kui's shout had drawn every eye in Pill Valley toward them.
Even the Golden Core elder from Dragon Head Peak was watching.
With a wave of his hand, a vast curtain of light spread around the arena.
Everyone realized this fight might be fierce.
Otherwise, the Dragon Head Peak elder would not have looked so grave or activated the defensive formation in advance.
Behind the Tao Family arena,
Luo Chen watched, his spirits rising.
He had barely come out, yet he was already about to witness a clash between top experts.
And one of them was his old acquaintance, Chu Kui.
Perfect!
He wanted to know just how strong Chu Kui really was, given how high he usually set his appearance fee.
He had to have something up his sleeve, right?
He asked casually, "What rank are we at now?"
Tao Yisheng answered at once, "With the Clan Leader and Senior Brother Qi taking the field one after another, we're fifth. Our position is fairly secure. There are fewer challengers now; we mainly face challenges from lower-ranked Great True Disciples."
Luo Chen asked curiously, "And where do your Senior Brother and the Yu Xuan He Family rank?"
"Senior Brother is first!"
