All eyes turned as one—some brimming with curiosity, others laced with disdain.
Everyone still remembered the old Xue Taiyang—the arrogant fool, a disgrace to the sect, a laughingstock who had once dragged his own name through the mud.
But now…
He was no longer that man.
Just two months ago, he had defeated a girl hailed as a Monstrous Saber Genius—one who would later become known as the Deceptive Saber Demoness.
That wasn't something an ordinary person could even dream of accomplishing.
And so, it was clear—
He was anything but ordinary.
Reon rose quietly from the waiting area, his expression unreadable, eyes calm and distant like still water.
Without a single glance to the crowd, he walked steadily toward the arena floor.
As his foot touched the arena floor, the silence fractured—whispers and gossip stirred like ripples in a stormy pond.
"So... that's Xue Taiyang?"
"Y-Yeah… it's him."
