"Are you two ready?" The announcer asked Yuan and Hong Xiuquan.

"I am." They both responded simultaneously.

"Then let the fight begin!"

Once the fight started, Yuan slowly approached Hong Xiuquan, who was standing still in a defensive position.

His intentions were clear— he was going to repeat what he did during his fight with Wang Bingbing.

'So he's going to defend and try to counterattack, huh? Let's see your limits!'

Yuan accepted his challenge and dashed at Hong Xiuquan with his sword raised.

However, midway through his swing, Hong Xiuquan, who was prepared to block the attack, suddenly shouted with his eyes wide, "I surrender!"

Yuan immediately halted his movements, stopping his sword an inch away from Hong Xiuquan.

"Huh?" Yuan doubted what he'd just heard.

Did Hong Xiuquan just surrender?

The spectators were also dumbfounded by Hong Xiuquan's sudden surrender. They didn't even fight! Why would he suddenly surrender?

"Young Master Hong, did you just surrender?" The announcer asked Hong Xiuquan for confirmation.

"Yes, I surrender." Hong Xiuquan said in a nonchalant voice as he removed his gauntlets before leaving the stage and everyone speechless.

"Why?" Yuan couldn't help but ask him, as he was looking forward to their fight.

Hong Xiuquan stopped for a moment and turned to look at Yuan.

He then said in a low voice, "I lied. My arms are not in the condition to fight."

After a moment of silence, Yuan said, "Then let's fight again after you've fully recovered."
