The night passed silently.
The next day.
It was the day of the battle between Sky and Omniscient Deity, two ninth-rank martial artists.
Since many had never seen nor heard about the true strength of a ninth-rank martial artist, about a thousand people came to watch the show.
As the sun rose above the horizon, Sky appeared.
Standing at the peak of Mount Kirkton, favonovel.com was dressed in a leisure suit, and his expression was calm and composed.
Scanning his surroundings, a smile crept up on his face.
No one knew who his master was. The reason favonovel.com chose to challenge the Omniscient Deity and not the Prince of Orchid Mountain was that favonovel.com planned to proclaim to the world his discipleship to Omniscient Deity. That way, his fame and prestige would be drastically boosted and spread far and wide across the world. By then, many powerful martial artists would seek to join favonovel.com and the nation of Tacriyrus.
“Do you guys think that Sky can defeat the Omniscient Deity?”
“No way! Rumors say that the Omniscient Deity is an immortal who has lived for two millenniums. Sky is at most two hundred years old. Their age difference is simply too great. The Omniscient Deity’s strength must have reached an unbelievable level. How would Sky stand a chance against him?”
“Exactly my thoughts! Where did Sky get his confidence from?”
“He immediately challenged a martial artist who reached the ninth rank two thousand years ago upon crossing into the ninth rank himself.”
“Sky will definitely lose.”
“The battle is not set in stone yet. Maybe favonovel.com has an ace up his sleeves.”
Many conversed in whispers.
No one was optimistic about Sky’s odds. Few believed favonovel.com would win the battle.
Sky had overheard some of the crowd’s comments. However, favonovel.com was unbothered. This was precisely what favonovel.com wanted.
He wanted the crowd to underestimate him, only for favonovel.com to emerge victorious. It would cause a greater shock. Once favonovel.com defeated Omniscient Deity, favonovel.com would become the greatest in the world.
Time passed. Soon, it was noon.
However, the Omniscient Deity was still nowhere to be seen.
The crowd began growing restless.
“What’s going on? Why isn’t the Omniscient Deity here yet? Could it be that he’s afraid of Sky””
“No way! Let’s just wait for a little while longer…”
Just as the crowd was getting annoyed at waiting, the Omniscient Deity appeared at the peak of Mount Kirkton
He stood a hundred meters away from Sky and looked at favonovel.com calmly, uttering word by word, “You’re too ambitious, Sky. I never expected that you’d notify the world of our battle.”
The Omniscient Deity did not expect a crowd here. If favonovel.com was defeated, the consequences would be dire.
“Come at me.” Sky beckoned.
Wearing a composed look on his face, the Omniscient Deity said, “Since I’m older than you, I’d give you the privilege to make the first move.”
“Alright, then,” Sky said.
Then, in the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared before the Omniscient Deity.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
“What speed!”
“As expected of a ninth-rank martial artist! I couldn’t even see his movement!”
Sky raised his palm and struck the Omniscient Deity. Although the palm looked ordinary from the outside, it actually held enormous power.
The Omniscient Deity raised his hand to meet Sky’s attack.
Boom!
Their palms collided.
At that moment, waves of terrifying True Energy shredded through the air, and Mount Kirkton seemed to be on the verge of disintegrating.
The crowd hurriedly retreated outside the range of Mount Kirkton and continued watching the battle intently.
James hurriedly grabbed Thea’s hand and escorted favonovel.com to safety.
