Hearing the disciple with the surname Zeng from the Qingyang Sect mention Chen Xuan, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yuanxia Mountain turned his gaze toward Chen Xuan. He shook his head and said, "Disciples of small and medium sects like you have foundations far inferior to those of us from the three major sects. You might stand out in ordinary sparring matches, but fighting a life-or-death battle is a completely different matter. Whether it's Chen Xuan of the Qingyang Sect or any disciple among you who fancies himself a genius, none of you can treat this duel as child's play. This battle could affect the entire strategic situation in the southwest, so having disciples from Yuanxia Mountain fight is the safest and most reliable course of action. Do you understand?"
The Nascent Soul cultivator sounded righteous and dignified, but deep down he still looked down upon disciples from the lesser sects—a mindset he had formed out of habit, even though he had heard that Chen Xuan's skill was considered quite good for a practitioner from a minor sect.
"But... Senior Brother Chen Xuan just fought a life-or-death battle against demonic cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect. He heavily injured four of their Golden Core demonic cultivators and killed two. One of them seemed to be called Wan Ming. Immortal, surely this is enough to prove Senior Brother Chen Xuan's strength, right?" The disciple surnamed Zeng mustered up his courage to fight for a spot for Chen Xuan.
