"The Blue Hall Sect—Yu Renyan."

"The Hua Mountain Sect—Lao Denuo."

Zhu Youji and Lao Denuo stood at opposite ends of the martial arts arena, their eyes meeting as they both drew their precious swords.

"You may begin," Ao Tian said indifferently, casting a glance at the two.

Ao Tian had no interest in the match between these two juniors whatsoever. If it weren't for his duty, he would have left long ago.

Nevertheless, his patience was wearing thin. He planned to let the elders take over after a few more matches.

"Brother Yu, please," Lao Denuo said with righteousness, giving a courteous bow and gesturing for Zhu Youji to make the first move.

Zhu Youji maintained a calm expression, looking at the supposed top disciple of the Hua Mountain Sect, who was actually Lao Denuo, a covert operative from the Song Mount Sect. He smiled faintly and replied, "After you, Brother Lao."
