The two faced off, an invisible aura instantly enveloping the crowd, making it oppressively hard to breathe.
"You're qualified for me to take action!" This was the first time Shangguan Flowing Cloud had spoken, his voice low, like a dull thunder lying dormant within the clouds.
Shangguan Flowing Cloud was a man of few words, speaking only a few before falling silent again. The purple light and the invisible pressure dissipated like flowing water.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
After a brief silence, the Outer Disciples in the stands erupted into thunderous cheers. They were, of course, eager for a duel between the two prodigies, a spectacle that was only possible during the Inner Sect selection and no other time.
However, they knew that if they wanted the two to clash, they would have to wait until the finals. The disciples in the stands briefly suppressed their excitement and waited for the next match.
