Crushing Defeats

Each of the ten rings had been occupied by an old disciple. But, none of the new disciples could dare to challenge them. So, the clamoring noise of the surrounding people had subsided; there was complete silence.

Shi Mu was dumbfounded at the sight of this.

He had seen several new disciples who were desperate to fight a moment ago; their eyes had been sparkling with an eagerness to test their strength. But now, they seemed to be waiting for a courageous person to challenge an old disciple so that they could learn from another person's mistakes before setting their own foot in the ring.

Shi Mu’s heart skipped a beat as he saw an anxious look on Bai Shi and Xiao Ming’s faces. He was about to say something when a voice resounded, “New disciples… listen up. Today’s competition would be considered as over if nobody steps out to challenge an old disciple within half-an-hour.”
