"Yes."
Zhao Luo's answer was the same as many of the spectators had expected.
There was no question of him stopping here, just at the 8th rank.
Looking at the confidence in Zhao Luo's voice, the elder didn't falter in asking him about his next opponent.
"Who do you want to challenge?"
The elder asked as Zhao Luo looked at the other six on the side of the top disciple.
The six who stood at the most front of the group, obviously the disciple at the top, Mo Suo wasn't there.
'His turn will come too, once I am finished with them.'
Zhao Luo muttered after which he pointed at the seventh disciple.
"I want to fight the seventh disciple."
Zhao Luo shouted as he looked at a little guy who stood among the other top disciple.
While he was short but he held the rank of the 7th strongest disciple in the outer hall.
The elder looked at the disciple who was challenged and was ready to announce it to the spectators but before he could even open his mouth, the disciple who was challenged suddenly spoke.
"I give UP."
The short disciple said as he turned his back and walked to the 8th rank.
'I would be a fool to fight this madman, after what he did to that idiot, Fu Tian.'
The short disciple mumbled just loud enough that the other top disciples around him, could hear his words.
"Giving up on battle without even trying...Disappointing!"
The elder said to that disciple and then turned to Zhao Luo.
"Who do you want to challenge next?"
The senior elder asked Zhao Luo again as the disciple he wanted to fight had given up on the fight before it had even started.
And if the elder had declared the results like this, even the spectators of other families would be disappointed.
"The 6th one."
Zhao Luo answered and looked at the fat guy who was the 6th disciple.
"I give up."
He also gave up on the fight right away just when Zhao Luo targeted him.
"CHICKENS."
Zhao Luo shouted at the cowards who were evading him by giving up one after another.
But this wasn't the end, Zhao Luo kept on challenging the next in the line and they also did the same.
"I give up."
"I give up too."
"Yeah, me too."
The third disciple had also given up without even accepting the challenge, not to mention, putting up any fight.
Now only the second disciple and the first disciple, Mo Suo, were left.
It had already been two minutes after Zhao Luo's fight.
During that time the spectators waited for the next fight's announcement while they watched Zhao Luo pointing at different disciples.
This had already happened five times but no announcement has been made by the elder.
As their eagerness grew, Zhao Luo's loud voice calmed them down.
"I challenge you. Do you dare fight me or are you also a pussy like them?"
Zhao Luo shouted while looking at the second disciple who had his eyes closed.
The second disciple opened his eyes and glared at Zhao Luo.
The biggest impact of Zhao Luo's shout was on the spectating disciples and the elders of the other families that were present in the colosseum.
"What?"
One of the elders looked deeply at Zhao Luo and the other disciples.
"It looks like they all refused to fight him."
Another elder told him as he understood the situation going on the stage.
On the side of the colosseum where the Sect Leader and the two elders were seated.
"Let's see, what the second disciple of the outer hall has to offer."
Bao Fei said with a bleak look on his face.
He was extremely dissatisfied by the fact that the top disciples of the outer hall would be so lackluster in their drive to face challenges.
"So what if one of them got their face bashed in like a mashed potato."
Bao Fei smacked his foot to show his disappointment.
"Who is the second one?"
Xin Wang asked as this was the first time he was seeing this disciple.
"He will fight. Look at his glare. He is a different type of beast than the other disciples."
Xin Wang continued before the two elders could even answer the Sect Leader's question.
"He will indeed be a challenge for Zhao Luo."
The Second Elder commented while looking at the disciple who Zhao Luo had challenged.
Before the Second Elder could mention anything more about this disciple, the second disciple jumped on the stage.
"I accept your challenge."
The disciple said to Zhao Luo as he landed in front of him.
The elder smiled.
'Finally, someone who is brave enough to come forward.'
The elder thought and turned around as he started his announcement.
[ The Second Qualified Disciple Zhao Luo vs The Second Rank Disciple, Tang Chan ]
[ Start ]
The elder didn't give Zhao Luo and Tang Chan anytime to get to know each other or trade some toxic exchanges.
Right after the battle announcement, he signaled the fight to start.
"I will beat you."
Tang Chan told Zhao Luo as he lowered his body and dashed at Zhao Luo.
'What?'
Zhao Luo was a little shocked while looking at his movements before Tang Chan had dashed at him.
'Is that first walk?'
Zhao Luo wondered but the 'first walk' needed the control on internal energy to be used properly.
While Zhao Luo's mind questioned Tang Chan's movements, Tang Chan had already reached him.
Tang Chan sent a right fist at Zhao Luo while the speed of his fist was in no way slower than Zhao Luo's regular fist.
'Whoosh.'
Looking at a big fist coming at him, Zhao Luo was shaken to the core.
'Why?'
Zhao Luo also sent a fist to match Tang Chan's fist with an unsettling thought.
"Explosive Fist."
Zhao Luo mumbled as his fist came in contact with Tang Chan's fist and a big sound of explosion escaped as their fists collided.
Both Zhao Luo and Tang Chan were pushed back by the pressure of their collision.
'That's my explosive fist but why?'
Zhao Luo wondered and opened his mouth.
"Why can you use it?"
"Why can you use it?"
Zhao Luo and Tang Chan were staring at each other as the same question was let out by both of them at the same time.
