The judges' stand was startled.
No one had expected Shi Ti's sudden, violent reaction.
Kind-hearted Shi Ti was nothing like Lu Chenghui and his explosive temper. If it had been Chairman Lu slamming the table and rising to his feet, that would have been one thing—but what was with Shi Ti?
Dong Ling cast a curious glance over.
The other chairmen also turned to look at Shi Ti.
Xu Xiaoshou inside the arena wore an equally bewildered expression and conveniently turned his gaze toward the judges' stand.
"Esteemed Chairmen, it's like this..." Xu Xiaoshou waved his hands and explained under the attention of the entire crowd, "It's a little stuffy inside the spiritual array. I'm someone who doesn't like being restrained. I feel like this spiritual array is trapping my soul, so I'd like to request that it be removed. I guarantee it won't affect anyone else's alchemy!"
The audience outside erupted.
Hardly anyone had held any expectations for this tenth-grade alchemist to begin with.
Now that they saw Young Master Xu putting on airs even after entering the arena, they all began cursing aloud.
"What the hell is this?"
"Does he think this is the Taixiang Xu Clan of his Northern Region? Trapping his soul? Why doesn't he just leave the competition altogether? The sky is vast and the earth is wide—where can't you go?"
"Exactly! I hate this sort of bastard the most. A demi-saint's successor... damn it, if it were me, I'd be even more arrogant than him. Damn it, damn it..."
"Hm? There's something wrong with you."
"Hehe, what a pity I don't have that kind of background. Such a pity~"
