Zhao Sheng had no idea that a big shot from Absolute Peak had set the terms for his marriage.
At the moment, he was completely unaware as he closed his eyes to rest and waited for others to reach the summit.
Time trickled by.
It wasn't until the sun was high overhead that Jian Shisan, with his clothes soaked with sweat and his steps unsteady, finally made his way to the top of Guardian Peak.
Although he looked utterly exhausted, his eyes were incredibly fervent, and his Sword Intent soared to the heavens, bursting with power and sharpness.
"Jian Shisan, you've finally made it!" Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, stood up tall, and said with a heartfelt smile.
"Taoist Zhao, you win this time, but next time it won't be so certain. One day, when my Thirteen Sword Heart reaches Great Success, I will surely go to Xinglong Origin and challenge you again!" Jian Shisan said resolutely, his hand on his long sword.
