Hearing Lu Yongyuan's declaration, Lou Cheng was as calm as the surface of a peaceful lake. He answered politely,
"I'm looking forward to it."
As he talked, he continued his previous preparation of compressing Ice Spirit Force to release Fire Force. Outside his body, he formed the last faint blue fireball as it revolved around him to join the dazzling white, golden, scorching red, and faint purple fireballs.
Facing the God-Slaying Saber, no amount of preparation was too much.
Lu Yongyuan wasn't ruffled by Lou Cheng's answer either. With his back facing the referee, his right palm grabbed his saber's hilt the moment the referee raised his arm. In this whole process, there wasn't any change in speed. The previous second was just like the next, and the audience felt an unexpected chill down their spines.
