”You.. are you looking down on us?” Fei Longwei spoke out with a cold tone.
To suddenly change the settings of the final match from one versus one to ten versus the other party alone, to him, this was the other party getting over-confident!
By his side, Xu Rong nodded to Fei Longwei's statement as she also said her own piece.
”That's right. We know that you are quite formidable yourself. But requesting to fight the ten of us at the same time so suddenly, that is the same as not acknowledging our strengths at all!” she said as her brows furrowed, displeased.
For Sui Shunyuan and the others, they only look at Duan Li silently, with a trace of displeasure as well. Then the seniors stepped up.
”Lad, your fight with Shen Murong is something that I've watched personally before. That power you displayed there was enough to beat the average sophomores here with ease. But you must know your own limit, we and them are not of the same quality.” Wu Jin spoke out casually, his disposition as a senior was shown entirely right now.
Dong Jinghai analyzed Duan Li for a bit and then shook his head.
”Your aura, I could feel that you are currently at the pinnacle stage of the Foundation establishment realm. However, I have to agree with my friend Wu Jin here. Against the 10 of us, it would take a miracle for you to actually win.” he said as he cupped his chin.
Hearing these remarks one after another from them, Duan Li realized that he was indeed being a little bit overboard this time.
This was especially the case with what Xu Rong just stated that had struck at him. Looking at it from the contestant's point of view, it does seems that he had looked down upon them all.
Thus, Duan Li swiftly explained so as to not be misunderstood even further.
”This might seem as if I was looking down onto the ten of you, but in fact, I truly had no intention of doing so. Every single match that you guys did were a class of its own and I was thoroughly impressed by it!”
Hearing this, their stares eased up a little bit.
”Then, why did you propose such a battle?” Xu Rong asked out.
She was a little bit displeased earlier on. But thinking on what Duan Li had just said, she realized that there might be a reason for this.
”As both a martial artist and cultivator, I strived to see the extent of my full capabilities. Watching you guys fight at one another had sparked up my interest regarding that. But while I indeed wanted to see just how long I would last against the 10 of you, this decision of mine is closely related to my Lord class as well.” Duan Li explained.
The contestants contemplated deeply onto Duan Li's words and found some truths in it, especially that last sentence that had them thinking.
Since the other party was a Lord class, it makes sense to show one's dominance by fighting against the odds. While it was true that a Lord does not need to be all rounded, but if the Lord does not have sufficient strength that their followers could look up to, their leadership would be just that.
After all, in the world of cultivators, power reigns over everything!
But even if this was the case, it still does not sit well with them to be challenged like this. Had this been between them only, it would've been fine, but with a public audience as such, things were more complicated.
Unless Duan Li could totally overwhelm them at their fullest might, what the public would highlight would only be their humiliating defeat against a single person!
