If this young man, Ye Feng, were to take a closer look, he would easily recognize that this little guy is someone he has encountered before and has wanted to visit outside the imperial city!
This person was the one who, just a few days ago during the ceremony when the Qin Empire's Envoy Group entered Ning Cang City, silently eliminated a disrespectful individual, leading to a citywide manhunt for him in the imperial city and causing a series of chaos!
Ye Feng's interest in the little guy stemmed from the fact that he had not only locked onto his Divine Consciousness but had also not withdrawn it, seemingly provoking him. Today's situation was particularly special, with everyone watching and the upcoming brutal battle preventing him from being distracted!
Otherwise, he would have really wanted to approach that kid right now and have a good talk. This was merely a mutual understanding between them, sensing each other's presence and feeling a connection.
And this little guy was recognized by both Feng Zhengyang and Qianjizi as an extraordinary disciple of the Southern Lion King. Sky Whirlwind also took notice of him. This authentic Ye Feng, renowned throughout the Eastern Continent, seemed to regard that little guy with a different kind of attention!
As the noise of thousands gradually subsided, Sky Whirlwind paused for a moment before realizing it was time to call the next contestant! The next one would be an exceptionally rare genius among their Heavenly Mechanism Sect's younger generation—no, he should say, a rare genius across the entire Eastern Continent!
“Ahem, Old Man thanks everyone for their support. Please remain calm. The Qin Empire's Envoy Group has been introduced. Next, let me present our Heavenly Mechanism Sect's top Core Disciple—Luo Xin!”
As soon as these words were spoken, his deep voice resonated three kilometers away! The crowd erupted with excitement once again! Although more than ninety-nine percent of them had never heard of Luo Xin before, being introduced by the current Ye Feng as the strongest Core Disciple of Heavenly Mechanism Sect was no joke!
With Sky Whirlwind's introduction complete, the atmosphere in the venue became extremely tense. Everyone widened their eyes in anticipation of what this next contestant would look like!
Compared to the substitute Feng Ye from the Qin Empire's Envoy Group, they naturally had higher expectations for this homegrown genius from their own empire!
Luo Xin, who had an ordinary appearance but exuded a strong sense of determination, stepped onto the stage under such intense scrutiny!
Following the same rhythm as Feng Ye, he silently entered the arena, then circled around with cupped fists in greeting before finally facing Feng Ye directly, his gaze fixed solely on him! Just this presence alone made it clear that he completely overshadowed Feng Ye!
“Luo Xin! Luo Xin! Luo Xin!” After a brief silence, an intense cheer erupted from among the thousands. Most of those shouting were disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect; as fellow sect members, they had long heard about the strength of Inner Sect Core Disciples!
But seeing is believing! Even though Luo Xin looked just as ordinary as Feng Ye, the atmosphere of admiration surrounding him was unyielding! The continuous cheers echoed around the arena for an unknown length of time! In Ye Feng's ears and many others', only the name Luo Xin resonated!
At that moment, seeing his sect's strongest disciple for the first time, Ye Feng had to admit that he was completely outmatched in terms of presence. This did not imply a lack of martial prowess; it was simply the impact of the other person's demeanor, which spoke volumes.
Having never met before, Ye Feng suddenly felt that this individual would be a formidable opponent. Even though he had not yet used his Divine Consciousness to gauge the other's realm, the fighting spirit emanating from those eyes alone reminded him of the term Martial Enthusiast.
Historically, anything associated with obsession has not been viewed positively. However, if a person truly dedicates themselves to mastering a particular path to the point of obsession, that person is undoubtedly terrifying.
With two lifetimes of experience, Ye Feng understood this deeply. Therefore, instead of probing the other, he clasped his hands and bowed respectfully, saying in a deep voice, "Feng Ye, I look forward to learning from you later!"
His performance was quite convincing; his serious expression contributed to the tense atmosphere. Internally, however, Ye Feng felt conflicted. After recognizing the other's exceptional abilities as a fellow sect member, it meant that the upcoming battle would be intense.
Yet he could not reveal his identity, so this fight would inevitably be quite frustrating and challenging for him.
Luo Xin observed Feng Ye's gesture and reciprocated without arrogance but with confidence, replying, "Likewise, I hope I won't hurt you!"
In their first exchange, Ye Feng's impression of this individual was not bad; at least he did not feel that Luo Xin was someone who would bully others with strength.
Sky Whirlwind watched their actions closely as the crowd erupted in excitement. The noise was deafening, with cheers and shouts echoing as if they could pierce the sky itself. The atmosphere resembled that of a street brawl!
However, this cacophony would eventually come to an end. After the initial excitement wore off, everyone eagerly anticipated the clash between the two fighters and some began placing bets for fun.
"Come on! I'm betting on Luo Xin to win!"
"I'm betting on Luo Xin too!"
"Me too!"
"Hey, hey! This isn't fair; if everyone bets on the same person, how can we determine a winner?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just say it, who are you betting on?"
"Uh, then I’ll bet on Luo Xin!"
"Hey, why are you bringing that up!"
"Hehehe! But first, let's agree on the stakes. Money is too cliché; we are martial artists, so let’s bet on Martial Technique or something like that!"
"Sounds good! I agree!"
"What do you mean you agree? Look at who is betting on Feng Ye; no one is betting on Feng Ye, and that means everyone has lost! No one can claim the stakes!"
"That's true... Ah, look at my silly brain!"
As everyone was placing their bets on Luo Xin, the top Core Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, their voices reached Feng Ye and Luo Xin!
Ye Feng originally had no interest in this matter, but hearing that over ten thousand people were not betting on him made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He wanted to shout out that he was betting on himself, but that would be too embarrassing! So he remained silent!
Luo Xin noticed the change in his expression and seemed to understand something. He couldn't help but smile and said, "As martial artists, we only need to focus on the path of martial arts between us. Why should we care about the mundane opinions of others?"
This sounded quite nice, but it didn’t let Ye Feng figure out whether he was comforting himself or mocking him. However, he did sense that this guy was indeed a Martial Enthusiast! Unfortunately, he was not!
Just as the atmosphere became a bit tense, suddenly, that long-lost Lion's Roar shook the entire venue once again!
"Betting on Luo Xin? That kid is just a rock; it wouldn’t be surprising if he gets smashed! I’m betting on Feng Ye! I’ll use my lost Lion's Roar Secret Technique for this!"
With this roar, it was truly unmatched. Over ten thousand people were stunned simultaneously and fell into silence once more! But after a brief few seconds, the crowd erupted again! Everyone shouted hoarsely, "You said it; if you lose, don’t try to back out!"
"Joke! I never go back on my word. My master said, a good man keeps his promises, and once a word is spoken, even four horses can't catch up!"
"Hahaha, it's a promise that can't be taken back! Good! Let's place our bets!"
"All set!!!!"
"Hehe, get ready to lose badly!"
...Finally, there was someone supporting Feng Ye, but looking at the thousands of people who were completely confident they would win, Ye Feng really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed! Of course, he still felt some fondness for that Lion's Roar guy!
Perhaps after he finished his main tasks during this period, he should really find this guy to share the spoils! After all, if he won, the stakes would be huge!
Even War God Tianshuanzi was left speechless after hearing Lion's Roar make another astonishing remark! This lost Lion's Roar was so precious, yet it was being used as a bet! Could it be that this Southern Lion King didn't teach his disciple how to navigate the world?
Sighing inwardly, Sky Whirlwind felt increasingly worried as it seemed that fewer and fewer young talents were shining. Before he could express his concerns, Feng Zhengyang beside him surprisingly wanted to jump in and place a bet!
Fortunately, Qianjizi stopped him before he became a laughingstock for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Hall Master!
Sky Whirlwind was completely helpless, but getting back to the point, if he wanted to quickly stop this increasingly uncontrollable farce, he could only let the battle begin as soon as possible; that was the main event!
"Ahem, Old Man asks everyone to be quiet. Since both sides have introduced their choices, let's witness the friendly match between the Qin Empire's Envoy Group substitute and the core disciple of my Sky Abyss Empire's Heavenly Mechanism Sect!"
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the arena, as if a gust of wind had blown through. Then, the venue erupted again! Everyone began eagerly anticipating the start of the battle! After all, they had come from far and wide just for this unprecedented sparring session!
"Luo Xin will win! Luo Xin is the strongest! Luo Xin is the best!" The disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were the first to cheer for their core figure. Their momentum drowned out all discussions in the arena. The martial artists' voices combined with True Energy became increasingly loud and powerful!
The entire ground seemed to tremble! This was the consciousness of battle! It was also the sound of war drums vibrating!
Ye Feng focused his mind, no longer lost in thought, and turned to face his opponent. He then realized that Luo Xin had been staring at him seriously all along, those eyes fixed and unblinking, making one feel uneasy.
"It seems that someone recognizes your worth. Although I hoped that guy from Lion's Roar would pull off an upset, since I am fighting for my sect, I will not lose this battle!" Luo Xin said calmly. Despite acknowledging Ye Feng's strength, he appeared even more confident in his own abilities. A few days ago, when facing Sky Whirlwind, he was not so sure, but at this moment, he seemed to have gained some confidence and was incredibly composed.
Ye Feng squinted his eyes, able to guess some of the details. Although he had never seen Luo Xin before nor heard of him, at this moment, he truly felt that he was facing the greatest opponent he had ever encountered.
This feeling was reminiscent of the time when the sealed Demon King Lu had given him such a sense of facing a formidable enemy. Now, Luo Xin seemed to evoke a similar feeling of confronting a powerful adversary.
Ye Feng took a deep breath as his True Energy began to circulate within him. Although he understood that what his opponent had just said was not arrogance, he also had no reason to lose. While he wanted to fight for his sect, he knew he could not reveal that intention.
Regardless, none of this would serve as an excuse for him to hold back! No matter what identity he held, all he wanted now was to ride the waves of battle drums and fight with fervor! As for everything else, did it even matter?
A martial artist should stop at nothing in battle!
