"It seemed the intelligence I obtained was indeed correct."
Hao Se forced himself to remain calm as he spoke. "Before our match, I have a few words to say."
"What is it? Spit it out already!"
Jin Yangtian's face was filled with impatience.
To others, he seemed on the verge of flying into a rage, but Hao Se secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, with Jin Yangtian answering like that, he definitely would not make a move yet.
"Of course, they concern this match."
Hao Se strictly followed Qin Shaofeng's instructions, making his attitude as submissive as possible.
It was not only Jin Yangtian who was baffled by his bearing.
Even Fan Shaoqing and the other Seven Stars Sect elders in the stands, who had grown worried when they saw that Hao Se had not immediately admitted defeat, were completely at a loss.
"What's going on with that Hao Se? Didn't he just raise his cultivation to the Ninth-tier Earth Star Position? Why is he acting so arrogantly?"
"That's strange! Why does Hao Se look even more badass than Jin Yangtian?"
"Hao Se? 'Lustful'? What an unusual name. Senior Brother, is Hao Se some important figure too? Why does everyone seem to know him?"
"Important figure, my ass!"
"That kid is nothing but Fan Yuze's lackey. His cultivation is even worse than that Ninth Tian Shu piece of trash, Fan Yuze. What kind of damned figure could he be?"
"Then why does he look stronger than Jin Yangtian? Isn't Jin Yangtian the Peak Earth Star Position expert leading the Seven Luminaries Sect?"
"Th-this... who the hell knows?"
Beneath the arena, waves of puzzled discussion broke out as well.
As fellow disciples,
they had once believed they understood these participants very well.
But only when the battles truly began
