493 Sect leader (2/2)
”HOW DARE YOU SPELL THIS WORD!”
Instantaneous reaction.
Before I could even ask for the next challenger, the gorilla sect leader, to come and kindly fulfil his duty of fighting with me, a burly man already appeared on the disc stage, with his eyes blazing in fury.
”Oh? Did harsh truth made you angry?”
Rather than allowing the situation to sweep me along and let the two of us duke it out, I couldn't help but provoke this man even stronger. As long as he went all out since the beginning, I would have the chance to finally gauge the strength of the upper echelons in terms of strength for this place, giving me some intel as to what I could expect from the ancestors that I would fight next!
”Fight me if you have the guts to do it!”
Seeing that there was no point in trying to provoke him even more, I only turned my head to the peak of the mountain, awaiting the verdict of the ancestor overseeing this challenge.
”Do you wish to fight him, or are you willing to retract your supremacy act, invader?”
In the end, I didn't declare whether I was willing to fight even a single person more. In fact, the first of my objectives was already fulfilled so there would be nothing wrong in slapping this angry man in his face by just ending the fun, but with how my main reason for this ruse in the first place was to take over this entire place rather than establishing Pengu as guardian of Penguin sect alone, I only nodded my head.
”Yeah, I can fight him. Bring it on, old man!”
Even though this sect leader that came to the stage, as after defeating normal elder only he was in power to accept my challenge, was way younger than the man I just fought, from the thick aura of his energy that I saw when scanning him with energy vision, I could tell that in reality, despite his younger appearance, he was actually older even then this elder!
”Since you agree, there is no point in wasting our time anymore. Fight!”
