The words between the two carried a subtle sense of mutual admiration between heroes.
The dialogue managed to move many of the onlookers.
In other sects, genius disciples often find themselves at odds.
But in Five Immortals City, the geniuses respect each other.
Amidst the sighs of admiration, a discordant voice emerged.
Song Xiaodie felt she had to speak up for Shen Han.
"Everyone, wasn’t this martial art duel arranged to be between Senior Brother Qianmu Fan and Junior Brother Shen Han?
In our Five Immortals City, there should be no changing of participants last minute, right?"
Song Xiaodie’s voice was quite loud when she spoke.
As her words fell, numerous eyes turned to her.
Of course, they knew she was right, but no one intended to stop the duel.
Speaking such words would be equivalent to offending a large group of direct disciples.
The Martial Arts Arena had completely fallen silent at this moment.
Song Xiaodie, aware of the potential to offend, hesitated for a moment but then spoke again.
"Fellow disciples, according to the rules of Five Immortals City, after a duel, win or lose,
the next duel can only take place a month later, and the participant must have fully recovered from any injuries.
Senior Brother Tang’s challenge today would need to wait at least a month."
Song Xiaodie spoke again, and the crowd, though understanding, pretended ignorance.
Tang Chenyang completely ignored Song Xiaodie, his expression remaining calm.
The disciple in charge of the Martial Arts Arena was caught in a dilemma.
The rules were there, but as a disciple, he couldn’t blatantly break them.
Amidst the silence, a middle-aged man with a long beard floated in.
Landing on the outskirts of the Martial Arts Arena, he looked at the Inner Sect disciple managing the arena.
"Immediately arrange a duel between Chenyang and this disciple."
"I solemnly follow Elder Si Zhi’s command. I will arrange it immediately!"
With someone stepping in to speak, the disciple found his task much easier.
"Tang Chenyang and Shen Han, the duel is ready. It can begin immediately."
He spoke, signaling that the matter was settled.
However, for some reason, seeing an elder intervene, Song Xiaodie still attempted to stop them.
"Elder, in the rules of Five Immortals City, when was this ever permissible?
This duel..."
Before she could finish her words, Elder Si Zhi interrupted coldly.
"Name, identity, report immediately."
He had no intention of arguing with Song Xiaodie and directly asked for her information.
"Speak immediately."
Seeing her hesitant, Elder Si Zhi spoke again, with a bit more severity than before.
"Song Xiaodie, a disciple of the Inner Sect of Thick Earth Tower..."
"After this matter is settled, Elder Chen and I will explain the situation to you personally.
For now, let the duel begin immediately.
The time of these direct disciples is precious and shouldn’t be wasted."
Elder Si Zhi waved his hand, seemingly uninterested in the outcome of the duel, and left in a flutter.
At this moment, Tang Chenyang finally turned to look at his opponent.
His face was somewhat casual, his eyes occasionally glancing at Qianmu Fan.
"Don’t think about fleeing or surrendering; your Body Technique won’t let you escape.
Try to face me with some spine, and I’ll restrain myself a bit.
Otherwise, if you resort to any underhanded tactics, I, Tang Chenyang, will certainly be ruthless."
As he spoke, Tang Chenyang already gripped a long spear in his hand.
Having avoided Qianmu Fan, Shen Han now faced Tang Chenyang.
The disciples observing showed some sympathy for Shen Han upon seeing this outcome.
Qianmu Fan is a genius, a top talent who has broken seven constraints.
