"Ahem, even the best in the Martial Arts Hall wouldn't have the courage to challenge him …"
"He's crazy. No matter how brilliant his achievements are, he's doomed to not live long because of his arrogance."
"Sigh, I originally thought that he was a person of the younger generation with great potential. But now, it would seem that I've truly misjudged him."
These old men couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves. They were well aware of Hall Master Situ's strength. Even amongst the higher ups of the True Martial Hall, he was definitely one of the best. However, this youngster who had just made a name for himself had shamelessly challenged Hall Master Situ. This was simply provoking him!
"Kid, I think you're just a rat licking a cat. Are you looking for excitement? Do you think you're qualified to challenge my master?" Chen Haonan was suddenly amused. His eyebrows were full of disdain.
At this time, even Grandmaster Chen couldn't remain calm. He hurriedly used his inner strength to transmit his voice. "Xiao Zhuang, calm down. Don't be impulsive. If you can't do it, I'll lend you my Dragon Spring Sword."
The strength of the three big shots present was almost equal, so it was difficult to distinguish who was stronger. Grandmaster Chen and Ye Duzui were good friends before, so they couldn't force Hall Master Situ due to some concerns. From the previous situation, I could also see that Ye Duzui's status was not lower than Hall Master Situ's. However, he was a member of an organization, so he didn't just represent himself.
Although Grandmaster Chen was the leader of the Guo Wei Dojo, the True Martial Hall was above the six major dojos. Every month, they had to provide a batch of cultivation resources. Recently, with the rise of the Guo Wei Dojo's ranking, the resources they received were also a lot more than before. Whether it was the inner or outer disciples, they all enjoyed unprecedented treatment.
This Hall Master Situ had a lot of power in the True Martial Hall. Because of this, Grandmaster Chen didn't want to offend him. At this time, seeing my reckless behavior, although Grandmaster Chen reprimanded me, he felt very guilty in his heart. As my master, he couldn't support me. On the contrary, Chen Haonan always had an arrogant attitude.
His words warmed my heart. Actually, I could guess Grandmaster Chen's helplessness. Although his Dragon Spring Sword was better than the Golden Snake Sword, I still couldn't accept it. I was confident that I would get it if I showed up today.
"Master, please let me be willful for once. I just want to fight for myself," I said softly.
Grandmaster Chen could not help but fall silent. The young face in front of him carried a kind of determination and decisiveness that he had never seen before, as if it was not a sword, but a brother who was as close as a brother.
Grandmaster Chen didn't know why, but at this moment, he felt a strong sense of loneliness. That's right, it was loneliness. Although there were always people around me who flattered me, none of them were willing to fight alongside me.
The Golden Snake Sword looked like a rare high-grade weapon, but unknowingly, I had given it a special meaning. It was more like a companion that I would never abandon.
This was just like the ancient swordsmen who wandered the world with a sword. With the sky as their roof and the earth as their hut, they enjoyed a kind of loneliness that people couldn't understand.
Grandmaster Chen really didn't think that I would have such a high state of mind. Even he had to admit that he was inferior to me. At least in Grandmaster Chen's eyes, divine weapons were only tools to increase one's fighting strength. They couldn't reach the spiritual level.
"Alright."
Grandmaster Chen's eyes shone. At this moment, he really couldn't think of a reason to reject me.
If I needed a lot of reasons to save my 'good brother', then it would be too hypocritical.
Seeing that Grandmaster Chen had agreed, I felt much better. At least there was someone who understood me and supported me. That was enough.
"Hall Leader Situ, I will now give you two choices. Either you fight, or you turn a blind eye." I took a deep breath, my face full of fighting spirit.
To be honest, if I were to fight with Ye Duzui, I would still have to be cautious. In any case, he had given me the Dragon Fist, which was a traditional martial art of Hua Xia. It wasn't inferior to a high-level martial art. Moreover, he and Grandmaster Chen were old friends, so I might not be able to control myself well. After all, there were many things that couldn't be considered when fighting to one's heart's content.
But if I were to fight with Chen Haonan or Hall Leader Situ, I didn't have to worry about these things.
"Heh."
Hall Leader Situ sneered with a helpless expression. He looked at Ye Duzui and said, "Brother Ye, for the sake of the entire martial arts world, I can't pretend to be deaf and mute. Old Chen, since this kid is so arrogant, I don't mind helping you teach him a lesson. At the same time, I will also let him know the gap between the six great martial arts schools and the Martial Arts Hall."
In Hall Leader Situ's opinion, Grandmaster Chen most likely often practiced with me, so he had the courage of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. However, his strength was not inferior to Grandmaster Chen's at all.
At this time, Ye Duzui glanced at Grandmaster Chen and saw the latter nodding slightly. He sighed inwardly and didn't say anything. Anyway, the two of them were on the sidelines, so there was no harm in practicing. Moreover, they also wanted to see the extent of Hall Leader Situ's strength.
Big shots like them rarely fought, but each of them had a balance in their hearts.
"Brother Situ, take it easy. Don't go too far." Ye Duzui couldn't help but remind him. There was a subtle change in the way he addressed Hall Leader Situ.
"With you guys on the side, I can't do anything ruthless even if I want to." Hall Leader Situ said with a smile.
Not long after, Hall Leader Situ and I entered the arena.
"How about this? As an elder, I can't take advantage of you. I will not use my hands to practice with you." Hall Leader Situ put his hands behind his back and showed the demeanor of a master.
The artifact forgers couldn't help but curse him for being shameless. Hall Leader Situ's strength was in leg techniques. Deliberately emphasizing this rule was undoubtedly to make himself look good.
