Chapter 1215 - Old Trick (1/2)
“Did I hear that correctly? He wants to challenge all five of them at once?” Someone was very confused.
“Isn’t he too arrogant? I thought he’d have more self-awareness based on the way he spoke earlier.”
“Hehe, looks like he’s indeed quite ambitious. He’s thinking of intimidating us.” Someone snickered.
“I heard he defeated a dozen Beyond Grade As at once. Did that make him overly confident?”
“Possible, he might think we’re on the same level as the modern Beyond Grade As… Hehe, does he really think he’s strong just because he bullied some kids who grew in the peaceful era? He’s probably never seen what true strength is.”
“His tone is so arrogant. Pangon and the others are definitely insulted. A show is about to begin.” Someone gloated. “Wait and see, they’ll teach this guy a lesson, especially Pangon… He’s got a bad temper.”
“Hope he can still be this cocky later,” someone said with a mocking tone.
All of them were waiting to see the show.
What Han Xiao said was targeted at all the Primordial Ones, including them, so they were insulted too. Although they did not look like they were, they were more than glad to see Han Xiao get embarrassed.
…
On the other hand, the six of them including Oathkeeper heard what Han Xiao said and their expressions changed.
You said we’re outdated, that we’re not letting go of our old honors? That’s hurtful!
“Arrogant!” Flames of rage appeared in Pangon’s eyes. He was furious.
When had they ever been looked down like this ever since the era they dominated the universe?
This was the first time anyone had dared to talk to them like this!
Even Oathkeeper felt somewhat awkward.
Feeling the intense atmosphere, he was secretly worried for Han Xiao.
Oathkeeper hoped that Black Star could teach his buddies a lesson, but Black Star wanting to fight all five of them at once was beyond his expectations. He was shocked and was worried Black Star might lose.
Black Star is too confident. Is he going to win?
Oathkeeper was a little regretful. He felt Black Star only made this proposal because he did not know the strength of these Primordial Ones well.
In his eyes, although Black Star was strong, he was not that strong. Despite having caught up with the recent news, his image of Han Xiao was still the same as before he entered the Sanctum.
I would’ve given Black Star some hints beforehand if I knew this was going to happen. These five guys are not just ordinary Beyond Grade As…
This time, Beiger narrowed his eyes and confirmed it. “Are you sure you want to fight all five of us at once?”
“What, you guys aren’t willing to?” Han Xiao’s eyes scanned past everyone’s faces and saw each of their expressions clearly.
“There’s no need to.” Lady Lust frowned calmly. “If the five of us fight you together, it won’t prove anything even if we win. Are you just afraid that fighting us one on one will damage your reputation? I can promise that our spar will be reasonable. We just want to test what you’re capable of. No matter the result, we’ll consider it a tie. Are you satisfied with this?”
“You are quite thoughtful for my sake.” Han Xiao smiled.
“No matter what, you’ve helped us. I…”
Before Lady Lust finished, Pangon interrupted her and coldly said, “Don’t represent me. I’m going to fight him alone.”
Hearing this, Han Xiao maintained his smile and said, “Just come at me all at once. Defeating you guys one after another is too troublesome.”
The five of them were deeply insulted.
We gave you an out. Not only are you not taking it, you’re even crossing the line further.
You need a damn beating!
Beiger gave Han Xiao a meaningful look. “You chose this yourself.”
“Like I said, I alone am enough.” Pangon turned to look at the others and looked like he would fight them first if they argued with him further.
Knowing Pangon’s personality, someone said, “Consider us securing the perimeter for you on the side.”
Pangon thought about it and did not argue. He stomped the ground heavily. An enormous shockwave expanded out, creating a ripple like tide on the ground.
Bang!
He shot up the sky and flew into space like he could not wait any longer.
The others were not surprised and followed behind. After all, he was a Pugilist, and Pugilists were not known for being sensible and logical. The others were used to Pangon’s personality.
Han Xiao glanced at Oathkeeper, who was looking worried, and then flew up as well. At this time, a notification popped up on the interface.

While he looked at the mission, he flew into space. The five of them were already in position. Four of them stood in different directions and drew out the battlefield area, while Pangon stayed inside opposite Han Xiao.
“Can we start now?” Pangon’s tone was irritated.
“Anyti…”
Before Han Xiao even finished, Pangon had already lost his patience. Golden red flames erupted from within his body as he turned into a meteor and charged toward Han Xiao.
Usually, when Pugilists were in a friendly spar with Mechanics, they would always actively back away some distance so that the Mechanic could let out part of their army. However, Pangon had already developed the habit of using everything to his advantage as much as possible through countless large-scale galactic wars, exploiting every edge he had, even in spars.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, stood in place, and opened the secondary dimensional army box. However, before the first batch of mechanical troops even appeared, Pangon had already bashed onto his chest.
