At Lv Bei's words, the other two men fell into a deep silence.
Xiang Quan gritted his teeth. "Why does a young prodigy like him have to come and compete with us for this spot? The organization is taking things too far."
Chen Yu clenched his fists, concealing the black qi in his palms. His expression grew grim. "I'd like to see if his exquisite Swordsmanship can withstand my poison. It's lethal on contact. Even with his immense strength, he won't be able to resist it."
Lv Bei shook his head. "I'm not so sure about that. His strength probably isn't as exaggerated as the Observatory claims—truly Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward—but he's still considered extremely powerful within the Meridian Realm."
The phrase "extremely powerful" was a form of supreme praise, and it was exactly what Lv Bei meant.
When he saw that Blood Red Sword Qi, he even felt completely powerless to resist.
