Challenge Match Under Scrutiny

When Tan Wu found Huo Hai, Huo Hai found it rather strange. Even he had not expected this matter to blow up so much that it had alarmed the academy's upper ranks.

Huo Hai did not know that although only a few hundred people had gathered outside his door, they were not the academy's original residents. They were students. There were not many students in the entire Imperial City Academy to begin with. How could something involving so many students not be a major event? If something this big happened right under the academy's nose and it showed no reaction at all, that would be truly strange.

"Fine, I agree, but only for ten days. After ten days, I absolutely will not accept anyone's challenge." Since the academy had sent someone to negotiate with him, Huo Hai naturally had to give them some face. There was nothing wrong with following their rules.

"After ten days, I have matters of my own. I cannot put aside my own affairs, or even give up cultivating, just because of these people's challenges." The reason sounded lofty and proper. If one asked what was most important in this world, opinions would surely differ. But to the vast majority of Spirit Masters, the most important thing was always increasing their own strength.

"Fine. Since that is the case, ten days it is." Huo Hai was, after all, one of the academy's elites. No one knew how far he might grow in the future. Perhaps he might even join the academy someday, so they could not offend
