The Power of Lightning

"Junior Brother Gao thinks his status is higher than mine?" Liu Ming finally turned around, his expression a mingling of a smile and non-smile.

"Did I say something wrong? I am the personally transmitted disciple of the sect leader, while you are just an ordinary disciple from a side-branch of the Inner door, how can you not see that my status within the sect is far above Junior Brother Bai's?" Gao Chong asked, his voice betraying no emotion.

"Is that so? I'm not so clear on that. However, I have heard that during the sect's grand tournament, all competing disciples are considered equals, with no need to differentiate between superiors and inferiors. Junior Brother Gao wouldn't be ignorant of that, right?" Liu Ming let out a sigh, as though disappointed by a lack of progress.
