After the second battle concluded, the atmosphere started to change.
Winning five matches in a row seems like a lot, but when you count them, it isn't actually that many.
Generally, three matches serve as a signal. If the opponent wins three rounds, it's time to deploy the core forces.
Lin Chen and the others returned to the city and had a feast to celebrate Fang You and Wu Chen's victory.
The two fought especially well. After the meal, the Great Elder and Sun Ji were present. When everyone returned to their accommodation, the Great Elder said, "All of you should rest, Lin Chen should stay behind."
Without further ado, the others understood the Great Elder must have something to say to Lin Chen.
Unexpectedly, after Wu Chen and the others left, the Great Elder and Sun Ji both bowed towards the open air in front of them, saying, "Welcome, National Preceptor."
Lin Chen paused, looking around, but found no sign of anyone.
