Ning and Ran were sent flying out of the stage, crashing to the ground.
Ran puked out a mouthful of blood, and his face whitened. He struggled to get back on his feet, staring into the distance, watching Ning covered in blood.
He was furious and could not believe he would not be able to defeat her, he groaned and looked at the referee.
"Draw," the referee announced.
Instantly, the audience was ecstatic, feeling the rush of adrenaline run through their veins.
Everyone had expected an easy defeat for Ning. Some even thought she was going to lose her life.
But who would have expected she would battle Ran, tooth for tooth, with the battle ending in a draw?
The previously satisfying smile on the Thousand Fist Hall Master's face had long gone. He looked at Ran with slight displeasure on his face.
The tournament started on a high note, raising the expectations of the crowd.
