After hearing that Darren had agreed to fight, the martial artists on stage released their auras. They were ready to battle, as well.
"Well, now that everyone has decided to fight, I will not stop you. But there is one rule. You can't kill each other, or Violet Phoenix Sect will severely punish you."
At the same time, a young man with a powerful aura flew out from Violet Phoenix Sect's palace.
As soon as he appeared, all eyes were on him.
The young man seemed to be in his twenties. He was dressed in violet and held a white paper fan in his hand. He looked handsome and elegant. But, people shuddered at the coldness and threat in his words.
The onlookers could perceive that the young man's aura belonged to a grand warrior, a real grand warrior.
No matter how strong and powerful they were, none of the sixteen martial artists on stage had reached the Grand Realm.
"Who is that?" Surprised by the man's strength, Darren felt the need to learn more about him. After all, how often did a person come across a twenty-year-old martial artist at the Grand Realm? He must be exceptionally talented!
"Oscar is Violet Phoenix Sect's first supreme disciple. You would think that he is in his twenties, but he is actually over sixty. He has been practicing a top-level martial arts skill that contains the Life Rule. That's why he looks so young," one man on stage explained after hearing Darren's question.
'No wonder!'
Darren finally understood. Oscar looked young because he practiced a special skill. It would be a miracle for someone in his twenties to reach the Grand Realm.
Even though he was over the age of sixty, Oscar was still very talented to be a grand warrior. Darren knew of people like Scott, who didn't reach the Grand Realm when they were less than a hundred years old.
It was extremely hard for someone who was at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm to upgrade to the Grand Realm. Yes, the other fifteen martial artists were all in the Wonder Realm, but Darren could guarantee that no more than four would reach the Grand Realm in the next fifty years.
"Please don't worry. We aren't fighting to kill each other. We are only looking for a winner here," Hunk, the Cloud Sect's first supreme disciple, answered.
"That's good to know. I am certain that you are all exceptional martial artists. So, how about a challenge? If the winner can take ten moves from me, I will give him a treasure. What do you say?" Oscar asked with a faint smile on his face.
Hearing his words, many people couldn't help but secretly despise him.
Why?
Because everyone realized that Oscar just wanted to show off his strength. After all, how could a martial artist at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm take ten moves from a grand warrior? It was pretty much an excuse to bully weaker cultivators!
Besides, many people knew that despite being over sixty years old, Oscar still acted like he was in his twenties. How shameless was that?
"I'm afraid that you offer an unfair challenge," the man called Timothy stated in a cold tone.
"Oh? Why is that?" Oscar asked innocently. He was not ashamed of what he'd said.
"Come on. You are a one-star grand warrior. You can easily beat us with your domain skill! Taking ten moves from you? Ha! You can simply tell us that you want to display your strength. There is no need to be sly about it." As Timothy had a high status, he didn't have to be polite and respectful toward Oscar.
"Ha-ha. You misunderstood, Timothy. That is not what I want. I won't use my domain skill. And I promise to use only sixty percent of my real strength in the fight to see if the winner can take ten moves from me. What do you say now? Are you still scared, Timothy?" Oscar still acted elegant and gentle though his words weren't so.
Timothy couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows at Oscar's taunt. Then he replied, "Fine! Just you wait! Of course, I can take ten moves from you. In fact, you might not even beat me if you don't use your domain skill and full strength!"
Disdain flashed through Oscar's eyes after hearing Timothy's remarks. But he remained silent.
It was clear that Timothy thought he could win in a fight against Oscar.
In fact, the other fifteen people on the stage probably thought the same. Each of them assumed that Oscar was looking for trouble when he promised not to use his domain skill and to suppress forty percent of his strength.
Meanwhile, Darren stood silently and observed them all. He knew that Oscar was a one-star grand warrior. Even if he used his domain skill, Darren wouldn't lose to him within a hundred moves. Now that Oscar had chosen to abandon his domain skill and suppress his strength, Darren could say that he would beat Oscar with one skill!
