Next, contestant number five made his dazzling entrance. Ye Qingxuan faced one of Heaven's Chosen from the Overseas Immortal Isles, and both were experts with the sword.
"I am Ye Qingxuan, a direct disciple of the Misty Sect-and the man who is about to defeat you!"
The moment Ye Qingxuan stepped onto the platform, he eagerly announced his identity at the top of his lungs, as though proclaiming his existence to the entire world. It worked: quite a few people began murmuring his name.
