"Ma Bi!"
"Ma Bi!"
"Ma Bi!"
Seeing that the person going up was actually Ma Bi, his fans and admirers immediately burst into cheers. This made Ma Bi, who was walking onto the stage, even more pleased, but what they didn't realize was that chanting his name in unison sounded more like they were cursing him out.
Ma Bi clasped his hands behind his back and stood by the pile of Original Stones. His opponent was a slender man in white robes. The man's eyes were bright and full of spirit, but what they revealed more than anything was a sense of helplessness.
"Seeing you in person is more impressive than just hearing the rumors. You must be Ma Bi, the three-time reigning champion of the Spirit Selection Conference?" the man said to Ma Bi. He then added, "My name is Shi Quan, and I'm the representative from a city neighboring Marsburg City."
Ma Bi looked Shi Quan up and down, then said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Oh, a pleasure."
