The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 1939

"For example, the stronger of the two might be able to light up the third light for six seconds while the weaker of the two can only do it for four seconds. Do you all understand now?"

He wondered how it was created for it to have the ability to accurately measure energy to such a degree.

Zeph did not immediately announce the start of the test but purposely gave the participants some time to discuss amongst themselves. All the crowd's attention was focused on the two strongest men amongst them.

Naturally, Morton chose this very moment to stroke his ego. He glanced sideways at Gerald and said in a haughty voice, "Seems like they specially created this standard so the crowd can find out exactly how much stronger I am compared to you."

Gerald gave out a loud snort, having a view that Morton was nothing but a clown. He did not even turn to look at Morton when he said, "Do you know how many times you've praised yourself since coming here? Who the heck does that? Why don't you prove how strong you really are with your actions instead of your words?

Morton's face turned purple with rage. He was grinding his teeth as if he wanted to chomp down on Gerald's flesh. “All I'm saying is, I’m much stronger than you. Don't even for a second believe you're my equal after our previous battle ended in a draw. You'll never surpass me in this lifetime and will forever be underneath me!"
