Lu Xiangyuan versus Bai Zihan!
This wasn't just a duel between two disciples—it was almost an event.
The entire Heaven Sword Sect had erupted into a frenzy.
Betting stalls appeared within minutes; disciples took out their savings, wagering on who would emerge victorious.
The odds heavily favored Lu Xiangyuan—after all, he was one of the sect's oldest and strongest disciples, standing at the very peak of the Spirit Severing Realm.
Bai Zihan, though brilliant and infamous, was still young, and for most of their lives, they had never even seen him fight.
All that most knew about Bai Zihan and his prowess came from rumors—rumors that certainly seemed exaggerated.
On the other hand, most of them had already seen Lu Xiangyuan's power and how he won against Chu Ziyan.
High above the dueling platform, the spectator pavilions shimmered with layered protective formations.
