After an hour's rest in the afternoon, the scheduled battles proceeded. Soon, it was Wang Lan's turn to fight.
Wang Lan walked slowly into the arena, but his opponent was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for a dozen or so seconds, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked in front of Wang Lan. Within that lightning, a blond-haired youth from White Eagle Country appeared before him.
"Hello, I'm Lightning Man. I was just having coffee in a city a hundred kilometers away, so I'm a bit late... Sorry to keep you waiting."
A twitch formed at the corner of Wang Lan's mouth. That act was a bit stiff. If you were really a hundred kilometers away, you would've been disqualified already, right?
"Are both sides ready? If you're ready, let's start."
"People of Jade Country, don't be too nervous. I'm very precise; it'll only take half a second, half a second to end this fight." No sooner had the words fallen than Lightning Man transformed into a flash of lightning and vanished from sight.
