As soon as the words were spoken, the elite disciples from various academies rushing toward the Skyward Ladder suddenly felt their bodies freeze.
It was as if an invisible force had descended upon their shoulders, forcing their speed to slow down inevitably.
At the same time, a brilliant light flew swiftly from the sky to the crowd in front of them.
Upon seeing the white figure within that light, Tang Xiao gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words from the gap.

The person who came was Xue An.
He stood airily in the sky, looking calmly at the diverse expressions of the disciples before him.
Instantly, the crowd became tumultuous.
No matter if it was the academy disciples preparing to ascend the ladder or the onlookers from afar, they were all stirred by Xue An's sudden arrival.
Many had previously assumed that Xue An probably wasn't coming.
Yet unexpectedly, he arrived just in the nick of time.
