A tumult of voices broke out.
"Read the room, Fade. Why don't you show off some of your skills and let us witness your strength?"
"Show off? I think he has nothing to show off, hence why he chose to walk over there silently."
Someone snickered, "He's far from being Young Master Faxon's opponent. There's nothing to look forward to in this match."
Faxon narrowed his eyes as Fade strode towards him, shooting him a withering stare.
As he watched Fade walk towards the middle of the wooden bridge, Faxon suddenly thought of an idea.
He shifted his body towards Fade's direction, and his right hand dropped from behind his back to his side. With a flick of his fingers, a burst of energy shot out soundlessly from his hand and flew toward the pillars under the wooden bridge.
Given that this attack was extremely stealthy, the crowd was too engrossed in their conversation to notice it.
The pillar of the wooden bridge instantly broke under the impact of the energy and the entire bridge collapsed with a crash. Startled, the audience gasped at the sudden commotion.
"F*ck, what's going on! The bridge just collapsed."
"How is that possible? The bridge was very sturdy. How could it collapse all of a sudden?"
"Is someone sabotaging the competition?"
Someone snorted. "Can't you see? It's obvious that someone is deliberately trying to make things difficult for Fade!"
"Look, the bridge has collapsed. Let's see how he will deal with it."
"What can he do? Will he fly and jump into the fighting ring? Or will he fall into the water and make a mess of himself? No matter what he does, he'll end up miserable!"
As the people were busy gossiping, the remnants of the wooden bridge crumbled and flopped into the lake with a loud rumbling noise, splashing water everywhere as they hit the surface of the lake.
Just as everyone was expecting Fade to emerge from the lake looking wretched, they were instead amazed by the incredible sight before their eyes.
Although the wooden bridge had collapsed, Fade, on the other hand, was unflinching. Step by step, he continued ambling towards the center of the lake, as if he hadn't yet noticed that the wooden bridge under his feet had vanished.
"What, what's going on?"
"Is Fade walking on air? He looks like an astronaut!"
"How on earth did he do it? By the gods, his power is terrifying!"
"His movements didn't seem to change at all, which means that he hasn't been stepping on the bridge since the very beginning. Instead, he has been walking on air the whole time!"
Everyone gaped at Fade. Meanwhile, some of Faxon's female admirers could not help but scrunch their faces in displeasure.
"So what? It's just walking on air. What's so amazing about it?"
"That's right. He's not even half the man Young Master Faxon is. I wonder why the heck are they so surprised."
"It's just a little trick, don't make a fuss about it. If it was Young Master Faxon, he'd amaze us an
even more impressive trick."
A few martial artists sitting beside them couldn't stand their remarks anymore.
