Immortal Living Pool Arena...
The elder stepped into the sky and raised his staff.
A solemn hush descended upon the Immortal Living Pool's great arena as the announcement echoed across the spiritual winds.
"Second match—Wu Shen of the Earth Dome Sect's core bloodline… versus… Li Bo, Bronze Mountain Fist inheritor!"
The crowd erupted instantly.
"Wu Shen! That's the disciple of Elder Han! He trained in the subterranean magma chambers of the Deep Earth Lotus!"
"And Li Bo is said to have shattered a full iron puppet with one punch! This will be a true collision of raw strength!"
The arena trembled slightly as two figures stepped onto the stage—a circular platform suspended above rippling waters by floating jade formations.
On the left, Wu Shen, bare-chested but wrapped in bands of earth-infused spiritual cloth, his every step sinking slightly into the platform as if the very ground was bending beneath his presence. His arms were thick, his aura solid as a mountain cliff.
