At first glance, Xu Xiangbei and Chen Baichuan seemed like old friends meeting again, warmly shaking hands, but in truth, they had secretly exchanged a move. Neither side had the upper hand, nor did either suffer a loss.
Xu Xiangbei withdrew his hand and found that his palm now had a small bloodstain, caused by Chen Baichuan's Inner Strength surging in. It still ached faintly.
Outwardly, Chen Baichuan was smiling warmly, but he was secretly surprised. Although Xu Xiangbei was only in his early twenties, he had a strong and profound Inner Strength inside him, capable of resisting the powerful Five Elements energy attack Chen Baichuan had long prepared and made his name with.
"Let's have a good sparring, just the two of us brothers."
Chen Baichuan smiled as if encouraging a talented youth, making a polite gesture for Xu Xiangbei to go first, appearing very courteous, more like making friends than challenging the martial arts hall.
