「Half a month later, the competition began as scheduled.」
The venue for the competition was, as customary, the Tan Family's martial arts training ground. Several arena platforms had already been set up, and a special protective array was in place to shield the participants.
Lü Zhong followed Tan Shihe, arriving early.
As the platform defender, Lü Zhong went directly onto the arena platform.
A moment later, a man leaped onto the platform.
"Meng Quanshan. I ask for your guidance, Fellow Daoist!" The man who came up was burly and bearded, carrying a heavy Profound Iron Great Sword on his back and wearing an iron Conical Hat. He looked like a Jianghu Wanderer.
"Lü Zhong. I am here to defend this platform at another's request..."
After the two finished their opening pleasantries, the Array set around the arena was activated. An earth-yellow barrier quickly materialized, which also signified the start of the match.
