Wang Zongquan dropping to one knee stunned everyone present.
Who was Wang Zongquan?
He was a peak Dark Force expert. His physical constitution far surpassed that of ordinary people—his skin was like copper and his bones like iron. Even the city's professional fighters would normally struggle to hurt him, let alone inflict internal injuries.
Yet Fire Dance had seriously injured Wang Zongquan with one gentle palm strike. Without ten days to half a month of recovery, he would never fully heal.
The only explanation was Dark Force.
"She mastered Dark Force at such a young age and even injured Wang Zongquan. Could she be a disciple of one of those ancient families?" Chen Tianhe stared at Fire Dance in disbelief.
Dark Force experts were exceedingly rare. Even with modern technology, anyone who mastered Dark Force before the age of thirty was already remarkable. Those who did so were all prominent masters in their own right, like major celebrities in the fighting world. Even top martial arts schools like the White Tiger Martial Arts School would treat them as honored guests.
Yet Fire Dance was so young. Not only had she mastered Dark Force, she had even injured Wang Zongquan in a single move. It was simply unbelievable.

Their descendants began training from the womb, receiving the finest resources, the best inheritances, and guidance from the greatest teachers. They could master Dark Force at fifteen or sixteen, and by their twenties, possess the strength to rank among the top twenty in the world fighting tournament.
However, these ancient families rarely revealed themselves to the public and never competed for fame, so ordinary people knew nothing about them. Still, their influence was no less
