With the arena repaired, Zhou Bai and Cang Ming had both ascended the stage.
Christina was still savoring the admiration from the crowd after defeating Kong Chan, "Ah, Zhou Bai, I wish I could show off like you do."
"Keep learning, keep observing, and you'll get there."
Zhou Bai looked at Cang Ming before him and asked, "Still want to fight?"
With a grin, revealing a strange look in his eyes, Cang Ming said via voice transmission, "Zhou Bai, you are very strong. But in this world... the course of history is determined partly by personal strength but mostly by the general trend."
"And I represent the general trend of this competition among the Four Great Taoist Schools."
As he spoke, a flash of red light appeared on Cang Ming's body, and chains soaked in blood began to extend from his flesh.
The crimson chains quickly covered Cang Ming's body, emitting a stench of blood that seemed to congeal into something tangible.
