On the arena, Huyan Zan had already taken his stance, ready to attack Chen Xiaojun.

In the Chen Clan's viewing area, people were also whispering among themselves.
"Huyan Zan has the strength of a Soul Ancestor. He really isn't someone to underestimate." Liu Ruyan sighed softly, her gaze fixed on the two figures in the arena.
