Intheseaofpeople,XuChenventuredintothecrowd,hisfigureslippingawaylikeaslipperyloach,quicklydisappearingamongthemasses.

Theonlookersaroundhadahardtimesnappingbacktoreality.ThisyoungmannamedXuChen,withjustonemove,haddefeatedChengQingfeng,butseemedindifferenttotherewards,whichwasquitepeculiarandmysterious.

SuYiandXiWuqingexchangedglances,bothfeelingabitperplexed.ThatyoungmancalledXuChenwastrulymysteriousindeed.

Onthemartialstage,theenigmaticfigurelookedquitesurprisedandfinallyturnedhisgazetowardstheoldmanonthepodium,continuingtoask,"Isn’tthiswheretheSaintMartialAssemblyregistrationtakesplace?"
