Peak Battle.

Shi Lang and Liang Ping climbed the mountain leisurely, and the disciples who had been informed about the competition came over to Shi Lang to greet him and check his well-being. The terran was slightly shocked, but after regaining his composure, the terran greeted them with a smile. 

Liang Ping and Shi Lang talked to each other before they arrived at the top of the mountain and stood before the Peak Master, Mei Lingyao's courtyard house. They were not the only ones present there. The rest of the core disciples were also present on the spot. 

Wen Lengxue looked at Shi Lang and said, "We are all almost reaching the breakthrough stage, so Master wanted us to use this battle as a whetstone. She has gone to the Spear Peak to issue the book of challenge and asked us to gather in the square as soon as possible to discuss the rules of engagement." 

Shi Lang passed a sheepish smile and asked, "Say, is Peak Master not acting with too much haste?"
