"Seriously? I know the Southern Territory, and there aren't any powerful sword sects there."
"Of course it's true. You can't fake the number of wins, and there were plenty of people watching."
"Whoa!"
"A Profound Sword Sect from the Southern Territory, with just one person fighting, won five matches in a row all by himself?"
"Exactly. Everyone in Hundred Battles City is talking about it now."
"This Profound Sword Sect has some skill. Could they be the dark horse of this Burial Sword Convention?"
"Hard to say, but they've certainly been too conspicuous. Yesterday, with everyone watching, they made a bold declaration, welcoming any sword sect to challenge them and refusing no one. Tell me, how arrogant is that?"
"No way... They really dared to say that? Either they've got absolute strength, or they're absolute idiots."
"Actually, quite a few sword sects have that kind of strength. But Battle Hundred Sects has only just begun, and most sects don't want to reveal their true abilities and draw unwanted attention. Only this Profound Sword Sect is making such a spectacle of themselves."
"Maybe it's their first time participating, and they're a little excited."
Whether it was the Profound Sword Sect or Qi Wushang, both had become somewhat well-known in Hundred Battles City.
Many people could do what Qi Wushang had done, but most wouldn't choose to reveal so much of their strength right from the start.
After all, Battle Hundred Sects required a Hundred-Win Streak. Their trump cards had to be saved for the end. Otherwise, they would inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives.
Although many were surprised by Qi Wushang's strength, even more were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. Some even thought the Profound Sword Sect's people were idiots who knew nothing about strategy.
