Lu Xuan, standing calmly, frowned. 'Life Tower...'
A glint flickered in his eyes. This was the first time he had seen a true member of the Life Tower.

A thousand thoughts raced through Lu Xuan's mind as he silently sent a mental message into the void.
"Can you beat him?"

Up on the high platform, Sakata Jun gave the old monk a respectful bow. He then turned to the grim-faced Wu Datong with a smirk and asked,
"Vice Governor Wu, are you not pleased to see an old acquaintance today?"
After a pause, he glanced sideways with a grin at the boy beside Wu Datong—the one who had stood up first and looked somewhat familiar.
"Oh, and this little fella. Quite brave. A pity that bravery is all you have. Vice Governor Wu put you up to this, didn't he? He's really thrown you to the wolves..."
