Chapter 32: Stunning All Around
Ling Chen, still a youth of fourteen or fifteen, naturally enjoyed snacking.
Ling Xiao didn’t take it to heart.
A full half an hour passed before a middle-aged man in a silver robe appeared on the huge battle stage at the center of the Martial Arts Arena.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!"
The middle-aged man’s resonant voice rang out, drawing the attention of countless people.
The scene instantly quieted down.
Pleased with the silence, the middle-aged man continued: "I am Ling Chengzhi, an Elder of the Ling Family, and I will preside over this ceremony to vie for the command token. There are a total of twenty-four Cultivators who have signed up for this event. Since the reward for this ceremony is but one, the True Martial Token, we will adopt a lottery to absolutely determine the order and opponents for battle. Losers will be eliminated, while the winners will advance, until the first place is decided."
"Without further ado, the competition is about to begin. Competitors, please enter the stage!"
As his voice fell, the competitors from the waiting area swiftly came upon the battle stage.
The stage was vast, more than sufficient to accommodate twenty-four contestants.
