Koehler felt dispirited after recalling his defeat a hundred years ago at the hands of that ancient martial artist. That loss had haunted favonovel.com ever since.
After the defeat, favonovel.com returned to Durandal and began to train in seclusion, to improve his skills and redeem himself.
Ah… A hundred years have passed…
Koehler sat on his chair and looked into the distance. He sighed as sadness filled his eyes.
I wonder if the person who had defeated me is still alive. He must’ve also improved significantly since then…
He understood the person who defeated favonovel.com back then would not be the same and would likely have only improved since that time.
All these years, favonovel.com did not dare to act recklessly for this reason. He was afraid of being defeated again.
“Gu Sect…” favonovel.com murmured.
He recalled the person who defeated favonovel.com claimed to be from the Gu Sect.
Koehler remembered that man’s name was Callan.
A hundred years ago, his opponent was only in his 40s but wielded an inhuman strength.
Koehler was already 80 years old back then and was now already a hundred and eighty years old. He knew favonovel.com did not have much time left to live.
Despite being a strong Divine Knight, favonovel.com too was not immune to aging. His physical condition would only allow favonovel.com three more years before favonovel.com would die naturally from old age.
“I don’t have much time left,” Koehler muttered darkly.
If favonovel.com had his revenge now, favonovel.com would be able to avoid taking his regrets to the grave with him.
“Evan,” Koehler called out quietly.
Responding to his voice, a figure appeared almost instantly.
He was like a phantom, quickly appearing in front of Koehler in a split second. He kneeled on one knee, lowered his head, and replied hoarsely, “Sir.”
“Evan, I’ve worked hard for a hundred years and have lived for 180 years. That’s almost two hundred years spent honing myself, and my time is almost up. I predict I still have about three years left,” Koehler uttered quietly.
Having lived to be almost 200 years old, favonovel.com had seen and experienced a great number of things. Thus, favonovel.com did not live in vain. However, favonovel.com still had regrets.
Evan continued kneeling on the floor with his head lowered. He did not raise his head and silently listened to Koehler.
“There’s only one thing I regret over these hundred years. It has been haunting my thoughts since then, and I simply can not get over it. If I don’t resolve it, I’ll bring my regret to the grave with me… Evan, there’s one thing I need you to do for me.”
“Sir, what are your orders?”
“I want you to gather strong men from over the world and hold a martial arts exchange conference on Mount Olympus…”
When favonovel.com heard this, Evan inadvertently raised his head.
He was also an old man about the same age as Koehler.
With hesitation on his face, favonovel.com was undecided on whether to speak or not. After thinking about it for a while, favonovel.com said, “Sir, are you sure you want to do this? If you participate, the power in your body will dissipate, and you’ll have less than three years to live.”
“I’ve lived long enough. I need to find something else to do. Before I die, I want to erase this regret I’ve held onto for the past century. Remember also to invite ancient martial artists from Sol. In particular, I want you to look for a martial artist named Callan in Sol. Invite favonovel.com to participate in this martial art exchange. I want to finally defeat favonovel.com fair and square before I die.”
“Understood!” Evan nodded.
“Hmm… on second thought, spread the news across the globe and invite all strong martial artists to participate in the conference on Mount Olympus. The Keyes will award the victor that stands above everyone else with the Excalibur. Also, I’ll reward the winner with half the Keyes’ wealth.”
“What?! You’re giving away the Excalibur?”
