Radiant Gleam Lord said mercilessly, "I'm afraid you thought Han Xing would be eliminated after barely making the top hundred this time, didn't you?"
Having been exposed by Radiant Gleam in public, the Great Beast Lord blushed and said awkwardly, "Who said that?!"
"I believed from the start that Lord Han Xing could make it into the top ten!"
"Then why didn't you place a bet?" Radiant Gleam pressed.
"I... I..."
The Great Beast Lord's face turned red from holding it in, yet he still could not come up with a reasonable explanation.
In the end, he could only muddle through with a lousy excuse.
The atmosphere in the tower gradually became livelier as well.
A moment later, Han Xing said, "Alright, this competition is over. There should still be plenty of things waiting for us to handle."
"Let me digest things for a while. I'll contact everyone later, and then we can explore the Lord Continent together."
Hearing this, everyone present wore different expressions.
The burly Tu Gang asked tentatively, "Benefactor... when you said you wanted to explore the Lord Continent with us, did you mean..."
Han Xing replied casually, "Exploring secret realms together, killing some source beasts, and entering that Ancient Battlefield secret realm or whatever. Is there a problem?"
Everyone was slightly stunned again.
Tu Gang hesitated before asking, "But... you're already the number one prodigy in the Southern Region..."
"Staying with us now, wouldn't that be..."
He trailed off, then gathered his courage and said, "Wouldn't that be beneath your status?"
Han Xing was stunned for a moment upon hearing that question.
He also noticed that aside from Tu Gang, the others were looking at him with probing gazes.
Clearly, they cared deeply about this question as well.
"What do you mean by beneath my status?
