"Young Master Ye Lin, your reputation resounds throughout the entire Eastern Region. This has led the younger generation of our five factions to wish to personally witness your bearing."
"I hope you can properly instruct these little brats who don't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth."
Ji Yang spoke with a smile, his words polished and pleasant.
But to Ye Lin's ears, those words were both a reminder and a display of smugness.
"Alright."
Ye Lin nodded lightly without refusing.
"Good. Then the sparring shall begin."
"Sparring between peers should stop at the proper point. Killing is not permitted."
"What do you think, Young Master...?"
"Alright."
Hearing Ye Lin agree so readily, Ji Yang became even more pleased with himself.
I truly am wise.
With such an arrangement, Ye Lin did not even have a reason to refuse.
"Good, since that is the case, we shall begin."
"I hope Young Master will let these little brats who don't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth witness your true bearing, so they will behave themselves in the future."
After saying that, Ji Yang left the Arena with a smile.
As he departed the Arena, he did not forget to smugly exchange glances with the leaders of the other four major factions.
This left the leaders of the other four factions utterly speechless.
They did not even want to meet this fellow's gaze.
Their methods this time were simply too filthy.
If word got out, their reputations would be thoroughly ruined.
But now that they had boarded the pirate ship, there was no getting off it.
Sigh...
So be it.
Once Ji Yang had completely left the Arena, Ye Lin sensed that something was off.
Merely standing here, he could feel his stamina draining away.
