"What's there to think about? I can tell you're someone who craves a good battle just as much as I do. Moreover, your physique…" Kelan's gaze lowered to look at Yuan's physique.
'His clothes and boots are both Celestial-grade treasures. Either his family or sect spoiled him, understandably so. This young man is not even 28 years old, and his aura is already this overwhelming. His cultivation is also deceptively low. There's no doubt he can fight someone several realms above his own. Yuan may be a monster, but this guy is on a whole different level!'
Kelan compared Yuan to the mysterious monster before him. Although Yuan was wearing clothes that covered most of his skin, Kelan could still tell that he had a powerful physique.
"You're a body refiner like me, aren't you?" Kelan asked.
"I do temper my body whenever I get the chance, but I cannot say that I am strictly a body refiner." Yuan shook his head.
"That's absolute nonsense. Even gifted and hardcore body refiners in the Ninth Heaven will have difficulties achieving your level at your age." Kelan did not believe Yuan in the slightest.
"My level? What do you think my level is?"
"I can't say for certain without exchanging a few punches with you, but it's definitely as extraordinary as that ominous energy inside your body."
'Oh? He can sense my chaotic essence even though I hid it to the best of my abilities?' Yuan was slightly surprised.
Although Kelan could sense something ominous inside Yuan, it was just a feeling, and he had no idea what it was. Yuan's gaze suddenly turned to look at the members of the Demon Sealing Faction and asked, "Those children are yours?"
Kelan shook his head and said, "No, not really. I am just training them. They're not really my disciple."
"They're not your disciples, but you're still willing to train them? I didn't know the Celestial Overlords were this generous."
"It's complicated, and I don't know about the others, but I don't mind training strangers as long as they show promise and determination."
"Are you confident they'll be able to reach the top 20?" Yuan asked.
"Of course. I have confidence that they'll dominate the whole tournament and reach the top 20—unless they start fighting each other. However, one of them will definitely win the tournament." Kelan spoke in a proud manner, as if he was speaking of his own children.
"I see. Then how about this? If one of them manages to defeat me, I'll spar with you."
Kelan didn't immediately respond because even he wasn't confident they could beat him while his cultivation was suppressed to Spirit Grandmaster.
'No… I need to have some trust in them, especially that little monster who might one day rival Yuan. I don't believe they won't be able to defeat a Spirit Grandmaster, even if their opponent is a prodigy from the upper heavens!' Kelan thought to himself, shaking away his doubt.
"Alright," he said a moment later.
