Some gazes across the heavens and earth could not help turning toward Lin Langtian, carrying traces of expectation.
Of course, most people did not believe Lin Langtian could claim the final victory.
If Lin Langtian had still possessed a few chances against Liu Tianxing, then against Huang Buxiu, whose strength had entered the Fifth-grade Supreme realm, his odds of winning would become infinitesimal.

His gaze only flickered for a moment before
