After declaring his surrender, Tang Wulin walked down from the competition stage under the gaze of the entire audience.
He knew that once this match was over, the Sun Moon Empire's officials would definitely make a big deal out of his surrender.
They would most likely claim that he looked fine on the surface, but had actually been greatly exhausted by his duel with Xiao Hongchen.
Tang Wulin merely chuckled softly to himself.
Let them say whatever they wanted. Victory or defeat was never decided by words, but by fists.
As long as the Tang Sect's ultimate victory remained unchanged, no matter how the Sun Moon Empire tried to save face afterward, they would only make themselves look more like clowns struggling on their deathbeds.
The Tang Sect's second member to take the stage was Nan Qiūqiū, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy sent out their vice-captain, Meng Hongchen.
They had originally dared not send Meng Hongchen out because they feared her love-struck brain would take over and cause her to lose directly to Tang Wulin. But since Tang Wulin had already stepped down, there was no need for them to keep hiding her.
As it happened, they desperately needed Meng Hongchen, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's second strongest, to reverse their declining momentum and salvage their public opinion.
After taking the stage, Meng Hongchen focused her gaze on Nan Qiūqiū and found that the latter was staring back at her, her eyes filled with intense hostility.
For some reason, Meng Hongchen felt that this hostility was not entirely because they were opponents in the match.
She subconsciously glanced at Tang Wulin below the stage again, then hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
The match was about to begin. She could not keep letting her thoughts run wild.
