362 Getting Wasted (1/2)

”Are you sure you want to challenge me?”

For some reason, the warrior felt incredibly pressured when Leon asked this. Beads of cold sweat formed on the warrior's face, and his body shook unnoticeably.

'Am I feeling fear?'

The warrior's eyes opened wide with surprise. How could he be intimidated with a single question? Does this person really have the strength of a Great Warrior? No, it cannot be. That is impossible!

The warrior quickly denied his thoughts with a shake of his head and stopped his body from shaking forcefully. A warrior must not show fear, at least not in front of so many people!

'He must be trying to intimidate me into back down! His real strength shouldn't be all that strong—not with a body like that!'

The warrior was convinced the more he thought this way.

Humans might not necessarily believe what they hear, but they will believe what they see. The young warrior had the rigid belief that muscle equaled strength.

Since Leon did not have much muscle mass, the young warrior firmly believed that he was not as strong as the rumors made him out to be. It was all a sham, a publicity stunt to promote the person's status in the tribe.

The young warrior did not think too deeply about why Leonhardt was qualified to sit next to Chief Valencia on the high seating platform. Perhaps, Leonhardt was the long-lost son the chief had once abandoned in the wild.

”Of course, I am sure! Why? You don't dare?!”

Once Leon heard this, he shook his head. If he does not show his might, these hotheaded youths will think he was a pushover.

”Try not to cause any trouble, okay?” Leon gave Lumi a brief glance and said.

Lumi poked her tongue out at him. What trouble can she cause? He should be the one worrying about causing trouble!

Shortly after, Leon jumped straight down from the high seating platform and landed on the battle arena with a heavy thud.

As Leon faced the young warrior, he coolly said, ”Very well, I accept your challenge.”

”Take out your Soul Weapon. I do not want others thinking that I only won because of a weapon advantage,” Said the young warrior.

He spoke as if he was sure he was going to win.

Leon shook his head.

He did not know where this confidence came from. Being confident is good, but having too much blind confidence is just plain arrogance.

”Well, if you insist.”

Leon shrugged nonchalantly.

The battle between them was already not a fair contest from the start. Since the other party likes to be bullied, Leon can only oblige. Some people needed to be spanked before they become aware of reality.

In the crowd of tribesmen, opinions were divided.

One portion of them had personally seen Leon fought on the battlefield. As such, they all shook their heads wryly. They already knew who the winner will be. Unless Leon went full retarded, it was impossible for the young warrior to win.

Another portion of the crowd shared the same opinion as the young warrior standing in the battle arena. Their only regret was not being quick enough to challenge Leonhardt first.

Finally, a small group of spectators remained neutral. Although they had never seen such a skinny Great Warrior, they did not jump to conclusions. Seeing was believing, and only time will tell the truth.

”Hm? Brother Goldenrod, are you not interested in watching their battle?” A Peak-rank Warrior asked as he noticed Goldeneye wholeheartedly eating without so much as a glance at the battle arena.

Goldenrod flashed the warrior a lazy glance and nonchalantly said, ”Watch what? There is nothing interesting to watch. I already know the outcome.”

”We all know the outsider is going to lose miserably, but it will still be interesting to see the person's expressions once his farce is uncovered.”

Goldenrod frowned and glanced at the Peak-rank Warrior again.

”You're wrong. The one to lose miserably will not be Brother Leonhardt.” Goldenrod stated confidently.

Like the other naïve young warriors, he had already experienced firsthand Leon's strength. As unassuming as Leon was, his power in the Great Warrior Realm was the real deal.

Nevertheless, he did not see the need to share his defeat among his peers. It was not something worth bragging about.

”Huh? How can that be?”

The Peak-rank Warrior was in disbelief. However, Goldenrod would not be so assuring unless he had some basis for it.

It was at this time that the crowd exclaimed loudly with cheers, shock, and surprise. The Peak-rank Warrior quickly directed his gaze towards the battle arena.
