Chapter 228: The Sword Sage’s Student

Soon after Leo's match had to come to an end, sunlight started to fade. Witnessing the scene of the sunset at the height of Mount Hua's peak was a magical sight that Leo got to experience for the very first time…

The mesmerizing view was more than enough for the competition to take a brief pause including the ongoing matches. Everyone stared at the golden sky as their mind reached a whole new level of clarity.

'This is conflicting…'

Before he knew it, Leo found himself tightly gripping Yeon's hand once he broke out from his trance. He wasn't even sure who grabbed whose hand first, but he didn't find it unpleasant in any way.

As Leo's thoughts drifted beyond countless possibilities, the sky turned completely dark. However, the competition wasn't affected by the impending nightfall. The pause of the ongoing matches was temporarily suspended as the students of Mount Hua quickly raised the night lanterns all over the field.
