Malicious rumors tactics

From MC's Perspective:

When it was evening time, I left the essence chamber and started walking through the courtyard where other members were training.

Upon seeing me, they showed mixed reactions. I raised my eyebrows in surprise. In the morning, their gazes had been respectful, but now they were expressing concern.

But I didn't have time to inquire. I was feeling extremely tired, so I walked away from the place.

"Hey, Senior Brother Zack is going to face the toughest challenge."

"The Hidden Ace Stephen is not an ordinary warrior!"

"I wonder what Brother Zack's reply will be."

"I don't think Brother Zack should accept the challenge."

"They are harboring ill intentions."

The warriors began discussing among themselves. They didn't dare to speak in front of Zack Lockwood.
