Chapter 156: One hundred fifty-six, the first round ends
"Elder Su He, which clan does that chubby kid come from?"
The eyes of Second Elder Fu Du shimmered with an unusual light. As he shifted his gaze from the distant arena, he directly posed the question. His words pricked up the ears of the Great Elder Lu Zhan sitting nearby.
"Uh... This..."
Hearing Fu Du’s inquiry, Su He was momentarily stunned. After rummaging through his memory, he finally had a vague impression and said with some uncertainty, "It seems he comes from the Zhao Family of Ningfeng City. Right, he should be the third son of the Family Head Zhao Huan!"
"Ningfeng City, the Zhao Family?"
Both Fu Du and Lu Zhan had heard of this rather well-known city in the Xuanyue Empire. However, after some contemplation, Fu Du continued, "I’ve never heard that the Zhao Family had any exceptional talents besides Zhao Ningshu. This kid named Ling Wan seems to have a talent that surpasses even some top ten contenders on the Mortal List!"
Fu Du’s remark also expressed the doubts of Lu Zhan. Every year, their Jade Pot Sect would go out to scout for new talents from the great clans, and then offer Outer Sect entrance assessment spots to attract these gifted individuals to join the Jade Pot Sect.
Nevertheless, Ling Wan had never been held in high regard within the Zhao Family. It was not unusual that they, like Fu Du and Lu Zhan, had never heard of him.
Regardless of how inconspicuous Ling Wan was in the past, at least after the arena duel with Zhao Xin, his name had firmly embedded itself in the minds of the two influential elders of the Jade Pot Sect and was indelible.
On the arena, after cleverly reflecting Zhao Xin off it, Ling Wan bowed with his fists to the seats in the north, then casually stepped down from the stage.
