The viewing stands reserved for the Chu Kingdom.
Chu Yuzhi, who had come from a military background, let out a long sigh.
Although he, too, had been defeated by Xiang Bei, and had often suffered the arrogant man's scorn and humiliation, he still hoped a Chu prodigy would win here at the River Viewing Terrace.
Dou Zhao, a man as powerful as he was, had actually lost his title. That had already broken the hearts of the Chu people. How could they bear it if their team fell at the Inner Palace Arena's quarterfinals?
And yet, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find an excuse for this defeat. Xiang Bei had been thoroughly outmatched.
A poor start had severely restricted his Double Pupil, preventing him from using his strongest Divine Soul killing arts. That had been one of the main reasons for Xiang Bei's defeat.
But Xiang Bei had been born with the Double Pupil phenomenon and was renowned for his formidable Divine Soul killing arts. To see him lose a clash at the Soul Level was more than enough to show how terrifying his opponent was.
Qi State's lineup this year... was truly unnerving!
Sitting beside Chu Yuzhi, Qu Shunhua had arrived at the viewing stands only halfway through the battle. Her face, however, showed no particular expression.
Ever since she had chosen to conceal her abilities during the selection trials back home, she hadn't expected much from the Yellow River Assembly's matches.
The only one present who had been dragged here by Qu Shunhua was Zuo Guangshu. At that moment, he stared fixedly at the Martial Practice Platform, dazed.
Of course he understood what Jiang Wang had meant by those seemingly inexplicable words.
Of course he remembered what Jiang Wang had said after Zuo Guangshu
