surroundings blurred into a chaotic whirl of fists and roars. The once arrogant Lan Feng Sect Master, now looking like a cornered beast, was gasping for breath as his nose and teeth were spline cleanly.

The sound of clattering jade pieces filled the air as a delicate jade pendant, once adorning Lan Feng Sect Master's breast, tumbled onto the dusty ground. The pendant, radiating a faint but enchanting green light, slowly rolled towards me.

I blinked in disbelief. This couldn't be real. Lan Feng Sect Master, a figure renowned for his prowess and wealth, wasn't just defeated; he was humiliated in such a way. The crowd's murmurs confirmed my amazement.

"Is he done?" someone whispered nearby.

"Look, he's actually... defeated!" another voice added, laced with surprise.

I suddenly realized the weight of the jade pendant in my hand. The green light seemed to pulse in rhythm with my heartbeat, as if it was awakening something within me.
