Ouyang Zhen still wore a look of indignation, as Long Yan had barely managed to survive the Third Level, and it seemed rather unjust to dismiss Long Yan with such triviality. However, since Long Yan himself did not say anything, Ouyang Zhen could not continue to make a scene.
When Long Yan returned to the surroundings, the cultivators around him no longer looked at him with any disdain; strength always commanded respect, no matter the circumstance.
Xiao Tong calmed his mind and prepared for the next trial, but the architecture around him had already been destroyed by Long Yan, and the originally quaint and charming courtyard now seemed somewhat bare.
What comforted them was that the next cultivator wasn't as abnormal as Long Yan. He merely managed to barely withstand the second wave with standard efforts. As for the third wave, before Xiao Tong could ask, he had already returned to the audience seats.
