A gentle breeze swept across the sandy arena, lifting fine grains of sand.
Su Xiao's opponent was a man from Watch Paradise. He wore a white robe and had a cross-shaped sword strapped at his waist.
Watch Paradise was fairly well known. Although its reputation was not as fierce as those of Reincarnation Paradise and Death Paradise, its contractors' overall strength still ranked in the upper-middle tier.
