79 Observing the Matches

Shi Mu consulted about a few more matters related to the competition. Then, he bid his farewell to Huo Mao. After that, he turned around and advanced towards the rings.

Huo Mao sighed as he watched Shi Mu’s figure recede. Then, he turned around and left as well.

The competition in the ten rings grew more intense with the passage of time.

The new disciples had been exempted for one year from the challenges of others. Moreover, they were free to abstain from participating in this quarterly competition. But, most of them wanted to try their skills in these matches. After all, a newborn calf has no fear of the tiger. In addition, the new disciples had made tremendous progress after joining the Sect. So, they were eager to display their strength.

Shi Mu was cautious. He decided that he won’t make a rash challenge. So, he wandered around the rings, and observed the fights.
