At this moment, only five people remained on the arena.
Lin Yi swept his gaze around. He and Gan Hao were in the best condition.
But the one who surprised Lin Yi most was Jiang Shuhan.
This woman had fought from the beginning of the melee until now. By all reason, her blood and qi should have long since run dry.
Yet her aura was exactly the same as when she had first stepped onto the arena—cold, steady, not the slightest bit disordered. It was as though the blood and qi she had expended had no effect on her at all.

Blood and qi circulated wildly within their bodies.
Gu Chen held his longsword upright before him. The blade trembled and hummed as spiritual power
