70 The Challenge (2/2)
With a broad grin, the man struck out a pose, ”I have thought of an optimal solution that may very well serve to solve both our problems.”
”Our problems are polar opposites though...” Lu Fengyi muttered cautiously.
”No matter! How about this? I propose that we duel each other in a ranked match. If you win, I concede to your choice of not joining the Cult AND I give you a healthy stash of ranking points, however if I win, you join the Exis Cult.” The man spoke as he showed a friendly smile.
”A duel?”
Glancing around the room once more, Lu Fengyi knew that his only way to escape the situation would be to accept the duel, and to somehow emerge victorious from the obviously unfavourable situation.
”That's right. Although generally the challenged transcender is the one who decides the rules, since I'm already granting you a huge favour, I shall be deciding the contents of the duel. You have no issues with that, surely!”
Although the prick sounded sincere, Lu Fengyi could almost taste the victorious aura that radiated so vibrantly from the man. It was as if he had already won!
The man annoyed him. Very much, in fact. Gritting his teeth, Lu Fengyi faced the scammer before shouting towards his face, ”Fine! I accept your duel!”
A devious smile emerged upon the man's face, ”Good, good...”
BANG!
At that moment, the locked door which had seemed so secure only moments ago, fell down to the floor, creating a cloud of dust in the room. Although it was thick, Lu Fengyi could just manage to see the figure of a woman within the dust.
”Let him go now! Or do you want to offend me once more?”
Lu Fengyi's eyes widened in surprise, ”Song Mei?”

Quick note that even people who don't read author notes will see
Thank you so much for getting me to 1 million views! I know that I've lost many readers along the way and I've had some rough spots due to my inexperience, however it's truly a wonder that I've been able to reach this point.
While views are good, what I enjoy the most are not views, nor power stones, but instead comments! If you have any thoughts about the novel, or simply want to say something, please do! I read them all! When I write a chapter, the thing I anticipate the most is reading the comments of my readers who can give me that constructive feedback and support that I cannot.
Once again, thank you for far exceeding my expectations when I first started this novel, and I hope you enjoy the journey as we venture deeper into Lu Fengyi's life with the Fictional Transcension System.
Special mentions to [ The Liberal Assassin ] and [ Devil, be nice! ], the former for simply being a great first person novel, and the latter, for igniting my passion for writing.
