Among the tens of thousands of disciples outside, when they saw Zhang Yan suddenly challenge Du De, a commotion immediately broke out. Initially astonished, they soon understood, believing that Zhang Yan, dissatisfied with the tie he had with Xiao Tang, sought to regain face by defeating Du De.
Although many noble family disciples thought he was overestimating his own abilities, quite a few disciples and followers secretly felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.
Not to mention Zhang Yan's unexpected tie with Xiao Tang in their earlier duel, his performance in the arena—facing three consecutive opponents without any sign of fatigue, still full of spirit and vigor—clearly demonstrated his abundant Primordial Qi and enduring strength, far surpassing his peers. He truly lived up to the reputation of a First-class Elixir Formation cultivator, capable of moving the Nine Whales.
Instantly, countless gazes followed closely behind him.
