Chapter 334 - 235 Xu Liang
Indeed, after Wang Cai calmed down the crowd, a huge screen appeared above the Duel Arena, and rows of characters started to slowly emerge – numbers. Grouped in pairs, they seemed to correspond to the previously mentioned groupings.
Each person’s chest gradually displayed a number, from which they could determine their group.
Mu Can’s number was seventy-two, while Wang Cai’s was thirty-eight. Each person’s number was unique. Mu Can was grouped with a person with the number sixty-three, whom he could see from a distance – they looked like an ordinary Intermediate Martial Sect cultivator, with nothing peculiar about them.
At this moment, everyone’s feet suddenly emitted a bright light, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Can found himself away from his original spot, now joined by his grouped partner, who bore the number sixty-three.
The man wore a plain blue robe with a dark purple belt around his waist, his hair neatly tied back. He looked very ordinary, but the only thing that caught Mu Can’s attention was his eyes - serious eyes, similar to those of the old professors at Immortal Ancient Academy.
Mu Can instantly made a mental note – this was a young man of rigid propriety. Mu Can, not a rigid person himself and neither was Xuanyuan Mingkong, his former master, felt he might struggle getting along with such a personality.
"My name is Xu Liang, nice to meet you," Xu Liang said, extending his hand towards Mu Can, who seemed slightly stunned. Although there was slight displeasure in Xu Liang’s gaze, he still reached out to Mu Can.
Xu Liang’s discontent stemmed from a simple reason; staring at someone was impolite in his view, and propriety was ingrained in his bones over his short life of twenty-some years.
"Hello, my name is Mu Can." Mu Can quickly extended his hand, realizing that he had been impolite by staring, his face slightly reddening with embarrassment.
