Sect Master Lu and Young Master Lu ended up in a stalemate, much to the delight of the Geniuses, who enjoyed this much-needed consolation.
The cultivators who had to start over after disbanding cultivation looked solemn. With the ancient prodigies of the Heavenly Court ahead of them, and the current Geniuses behind them, they were caught in the middle. They felt they might not have a role to play in the endgame of this Great Era's conflict.
In the spectator stands, Qiu Jin'an retracted his gaze from the fight just concluded, slowly releasing his breath as he reflected, "The young can indeed be full of surprises."
Jiang Qun curiously asked, "Are you saying that it's impressive how Sect Master Lu is such a formidable fighter at such a young age?"
"No, I mean he is even more deceptive than Old Buyu."
"Back in his days, Old Buyu was fairly naive in his deception skills. Of course, I was also naive and ended up being deceived over and over again."
