"It's Gu Jianyun, Sword Valley's Ancient Freak, a King of his generation!" Cries of surprise erupted from the crowd.
The man with Double Pupils had entered the arena, and for two hundred matches, no one had dared step up. Huang, the only one strong enough to challenge him, was in poor condition and had been recovering all this time. Now, at last, a heavyweight had arrived.
He was a powerful figure from Sword Valley, a faction backed by a Remnant Immortal, with unfathomably deep foundations.
He had once slaughtered hordes of enemies with a single sword strike, looked down on his peers, and dominated Immortal Ancient. He had also slain Ancient Freaks with his sword, earning a resounding reputation.
In this life, Gu Jianyun had even cultivated immortal qi and survived an incomparably terrifying tribulation, becoming an existence countless beings could only look up to.
Now he had arrived, ready to step into the arena and face the champions of Immortal Ancient.
Yet the sight before him took Gu Jianyun somewhat by surprise. He had expected a clash of dragons and tigers, only to find Shi Yi's one-man show. They could not even find anyone willing to challenge him.
Worst of all, everyone was looking at him expectantly.
Without question, they hoped Gu Jianyun would step forward and fight the man with Double Pupils, whose momentum was at its height.
After all, the faction behind him was a mortal enemy of the Sin Clan. The two were natural adversaries.
But Gu Jianyun did not move. He was no fool and would never rashly become the bird that stuck its head out first. Shi Yi's strength was beyond question; his astonishing battle record had already said it all.
However confident Gu Jianyun might be, he would not fight an unrivaled prodigy
