Bai Tingfei, one of the rising stars, shared a striking resemblance to Xiao Ming in terms of his unusual appearance that defied the expectations one might have of a genius.
With a burly physique and a belly that bulged out as if it were an extension of a pot, he certainly did not fit the typical mold of a cultivated warrior.
His heavy sword, slung over his shoulder, matched his intimidating presence.
Despite his robust figure, a playful smile spread across his face, reminiscent of an easy-going farmer unconcerned with the challenges ahead.
His opponent, Bai Liufei, was the polar opposite. Lean and lithe, Bai Liufei carried a longsword that complemented his agility, the kind that matched his slender frame.
His stance radiated precision and poise, and the aura he exuded was sharp, almost piercing, like the blade of a cold, unyielding sword. The aura of a half-step Mortal General, forged through years of sword tempering, could be felt in every move he made.
