When Yuan saw the situation, he decided not to interrupt but to spectate instead.
A few minutes later, the young man who'd caught the attention of the old man from the Holy Sword Clan opened his eyes and stood up, seemingly unaware of the elder's presence.
The old man cleared his throat loudly to announce his presence before speaking, "Young man, what's your name?"
The young man was startled momentarily, but he quickly recovered when he saw the old man's white and golden robes.
Then, he hastily lowered his body and bowed, "This junior is called Chu Ling. I apologize for not noticing you earlier, Senior."
The old man smiled and said, "It's my fault for sneaking up on you. Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"
"This junior is currently 3,291 years old," the young man responded.
The surrounding swordmasters expressed surprise after hearing the young man's response.
