"Ketsuno Gen, I wish to see for myself exactly how much of our Chinese soul-summoning arts you Japanese have managed to pick up," Master Bancheng declared with an arrogant air.
He maintained a posture of ease and confidence. Challenging Ketsuno Gen by name was, in fact, a very clever tactical move. As a Japanese Onmyoji, Ketsuno Gen was already an outcast in the Hong Kong cultivation circle. If Master Bancheng were the first to stand up and defeat him, his own reputation would soar to new heights. It was a golden opportunity to gain both fame and fortune. The other masters present secretly regretted not stepping forward first.
As Master Bancheng entered the arena to issue his challenge, a wave of cheers erupted from the center of Xiaoqingzhou Island. The younger cultivators of Hong Kong watching the scene were overcome with excitement. They had not expected the very first duel to feature such a renowned local figure as Master Bancheng facing off against the detested Japanese Onmyoji.
