Han Yu's gaze flickered briefly toward one particular figure.
The First Kidney Peak Head.
The man stood apart from the others, his presence still and unchanging. His expression did not shift. No emotion surfaced. No Eight Emotions energy flowed from him.
Like a statue.
Unmoving.
Detached.
Han Yu noted it.

Clear.
Simple.
Direct.
Both fighters stepped onto the arena.
The ground stretched wide beneath them, nearly two kilometers across, offering more than enough space for a battle of this scale.
There was no ceremony.
No prolonged introduction.
The overseeing elder from the Discipline and Law Hall stepped forward.
"Begin."
The word had barely left his mouth when Meng Ji moved.
He did not hesitate.
WHOOSH
Blood Qi surged around him instantly, condensing into sharp, concentrated forms. With a single motion of his hand, multiple crimson projectiles formed and shot forward.
