Ren Bai took a deep breath, forcing himself to stand up.
Although he was severely depleted, he wasn't completely immobilized. Since Xu Wuyi had arrived and the battle had begun, he couldn't just sit there and watch. He had to fight too. Even if he could only serve as a distraction, he wanted to help share some of Xu Wuyi's burden.
But at that moment, Xu Wuyi turned his head and looked at him. Those eyes remained calm—so calm that not a single trace of emotion could be seen.
"Grandmaster Ren, please rest," Xu Wuyi said, his voice placid. "I'll handle this."
Ren Bai froze for a moment, then slowly sat back down.
He watched as Xu Wuyi turned back to face the Tiger-shaped Beast King. Looking at the impending battle, a strange feeling welled up in Ren Bai's heart. "This kid really has changed," he thought.
