"Have you heard? This time two dark horses are appearing, Yao Jiguang and that somewhat obscure Tangyu. Especially Tangyu, he's incredible. There's a chance he might compete for the top spot in this disciple selection."
"Yes, I've heard it too. Incredible, isn't it? No one knows where this prodigy popped up from, almost as if he jumped straight out of a crack in the stone."
"I've heard that even the Four Beauties of Yang City have set their sights on Tangyu, likely considering him a rival."
"A dark horse indeed, the biggest dark horse of all. Alas, all we can do is to envy."
Tangyu became famous; his name and deeds quickly spread throughout Yanshan City. In the streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns, patrons were fervently discussing, even some rumors and gossip were passed around. The curiosity in people is unanimous, and any big news naturally spreads widely.
