Everyone cried out in disbelief, as though they had seen a ghost.
"So much for the so-called Ghost Hand!"
Tang Qianshou grew increasingly dejected.
How could the gap between one person and another be so enormous?!
I was one of the finest of my generation in the World's Number One Hidden Weapons Lineage, but these fingers... they really were poorly formed!
Heavens, why wouldn't you grant me a mouthful of rice to live on?!
He said loudly, "Monitor Zuo, today's contest is merely a personal exchange of skills between you and me. It has nothing to do with the reputation of my hidden weapons lineage, all right?"
He was leaving himself some room first. Otherwise, if he lost in a moment, he would inevitably drag down his lineage's reputation as well.
Zuo Xiaoduo laughed heartily. "Of course."
After discussing it, the two decided to settle the outcome in a single move.

Such an exchange was clean and decisive, with victory and defeat clear at a glance.
"Monitor Zuo, you go first." Tang Qianshou appeared quite magnanimous.
"Hmm?" Zuo Xiaoduo narrowed his eyes. "Why? Is there some reason for that?"
Tang Qianshou said awkwardly, "I need to use the Blood Qi Accumulation Method to launch my hidden weapon with the Moon-Chasing Flowing Light Technique. After that one move, I'll be drained of strength and certainly won't be able to dodge your hidden weapon. So I'm not simply yielding the first move to you."
Zuo Xiaoduo paused, then said, "There's a method like that? I imagine it must greatly increase the efficiency and power of hidden weapon attacks. I'll certainly have to learn from you
