'The second match, we cannot afford to lose again.'
He turned his head and quietly instructed the disciple about to enter the stage to stay alert and give his all.
Soon, two Awakeners leaped onto the platform, one carried the unconscious disciple from the Martial Arts Hall down, while the other stood straight in the ring.
