Truth be told, Alston was a formidable opponent.
All the cultivation methods and secret martial arts Alston practiced were better than anything Austin learned since he came from a superior universe. Only natives from his hometown had access to what he was taught.
On top of that, Alston also had exceptional talent in cultivation.
All the medium-grade divine gods who could face him could be counted on one hand.
An ordinary medium-grade divine god would be taken out in a heartbeat.
Moreover, everyone knew that he refined two chaotic magic treasures that greatly increased his fighting power.
However, since they were underground, Austin was confident that he could fight Alston on even footing.
If they were on the surface, it would be nigh impossible for him to be Alston's match.
Therefore, Austin quickly made up his mind to battle Alston beneath the ground.
"Austin, do you have the guts to battle me?"
Alston's voice echoed around them like deafening thunder.
"Well, since you're itching to fight, I'll grant your wish,"
Austin calmly replied and paused in his tracks as he stared down Alston.
"Austin, there you are!"
Their eyes met and Alston let out a roar.
A moment later, he managed to reign in his rage and quickly regained his composure.
Despite all appearances, Alston wasn't a stupid man. Although Austin was just at the Divine Realm, he knew that the young man was more than what he seemed.
In his mind, there was no doubt that Austin was far stronger than any cultivator at the Divine Realm.
In fact, Alston was already taking Austin seriously and was regarding him as a powerful opponent.
Since Austin agreed to fight him, his towering anger had completely subsided.
'This guy's a really scary opponent, '
Austin thought to himself.
After all, a calm enemy was harder to deal with than a furious one.
"Austin, I actually kind of admire you.
You're a mere Divine Realm cultivator, yet you left me no choice but to fight you myself. You sure have plenty of cards up your sleeve.
But soon I'll teach you that victory belongs to the strong. No matter what games you play, you're doomed to suffer in defeat,"
Alston proclaimed as he took one step after another towards Austin.
With just one look, it was plain to see that Alston was young and handsome, with a high forehead that signified his intelligence. Even the very air around him was filled with grace as if he was truly born to be superior to others.
Despite it all, Austin stood tall and looked Alston in the eye with not a single hint of fear.
"Oh, really?
Are you confident that you can beat me?"
Austin responded with a faint smile pulling at his lips.
"Of course, I am.
To put it bluntly, I can slay you in a fight, fair and square."
Arrogance brimmed from Alston's every word but it just added more to his charisma.
At that moment, a dead silence enveloped them.
Everyone else's battle paused as they halted in their tracks.
All of their eyes turned to look at Alston and Austin.
'They're finally going to fight, ' they thought to themselves.
"Are you seeing that? I can't believe Austin actually has the balls to face Alston!"
"Ha-ha! He's just at the Divine Realm. There's no way he could defeat a medium-grade divine god.
Moreover, Alston is almost invincible even among all the medium-grade divine gods.
This Austin guy is too full of himself!"
"I agree. Let's wait and see. Perhaps Austin's good with plans and tricks.
However, it's impossible that he'd be a match for Alston.
Even if Austin could survive Alston's first strike, he'd get killed within five rounds."
Whispers from onlookers filled the air around them.
Most of them were convinced that Austin would lose.
