Jiang Lei's name appeared on the scroll, and he couldn't help but think, "I expected it, but not this soon. Well, let's do it."
"Boss, come on! Show everyone what you're capable of!" Wei Chen shouted with enthusiasm upon seeing Jiang Lei's name on the scroll.
"Yes, it's time for the show!"Jiang Lei got up from his seat, stretching his limbs.
He glanced at the puppet below on the stage, a smile playing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "Let's start with you."
With those thoughts, he jumped into the arena, and other disciples followed the suit.
Jiang Lei landed on the arena, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he was overwhelmed by a strange and oppressive force.
It felt as if an invisible weight was pressing down on him, causing him to stagger and nearly lose his balance.
"Oh, this is terrible!" Jiang Lei muttered under his grasping breath, his mind racing to adjust to his new surrounding.
