Lin Mu hadn't known about someone like Huang Bao joining this time since there was no information about him in the booklets. It was more like, everyone had thought that he was in seclusion and would not be participating.

But now it seemed like the man had given everyone a surprise.

'It is his first fight. If it was his second or third fight, the people would have already known that he was participating.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He tried to scan through the information he had and only learned that the man was a top fifty contender in the last Tournament of the Four Guardian Beasts. Having reached that far only meant that the man was not weak.

Top fifty might seem a bit unimpressive, but considering how many contestants there were, top fifty was massive. Anyone that could reach that point was considerably strong and had the skills to back it up.

Lin Mu looked around for Huang Bao, as he hadn't seen him in the ring.

'If he was here already, the people would have known.' Lin Mu reckoned that the man hadn't arrived since his match was scheduled so late.

A few seconds passed before a man entered the arena. Lin Mu looked at him, finding him to be at the Third Tribulation stage of the Immortal Realm.

Just from his cultivation base, he didn't seem impressive, but Lin Mu could tell there was something more to him.

Huang Bao was six feet tall and was relatively fat. His belly bulged out while his face jiggled as he walked. His arms were like thick logs while his legs made the ground tremble with each step.

He had dark brown eyes, and a plain smile was present on his face. He wore red and orange robes that had flame motifs on them.

Overall, he didn't seem to evoke a sense of danger or anything but Lin Mu had a hunch that the man was strong.

Huang Bao walked into the ring and cupped his hands.

"Huang Bao greets Daoist Mu Lin." The man said jovially.

"Greetings Daoist Huang Bao." Lin Mu too greeted the man wondering how he should go about this. 'I'll need to end this fight quick if I am to make it to Ming Aolian's ring.' He thought.

Lin Mu's immortal sense was spread in the ring and covered every inch of it. He reckoned it was best to end it with a strong attack right from the start. But he didn't know how Huang Bao would be acting thus it was best to be aware of everything around him.

After all, his high with Mei Nienzhen had shown him that there were many different techniques and they could be hidden too.

"Both contestants ready?" The referee raised his hand.
