āIām the disciple of the Sword Union! Let me deal with that bastard!ā
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the crowd.
It was Miles, who had just arrived at the scene. He had come for some fun but ended up witnessing a warrior from the Kimboku being all boastful. Being a passionate young man and a disciple of the Sword Union, he couldnāt stand it anymore.
āMiles, that guy is pretty tough. Dealing with him wonāt be easy. Donāt rush into things,ā Crystal, standing next to him, advised.
Even though Miles was talented and had joined the Sword Union for a few years, he still lacked experience and finesse.
While handling a Divine-level martial artist presented no issue for him, dealing with an elite would prove to be a more demanding task.
He shrugged it off, saying, āCrystal, isnāt he just a brat? Whatās so great about him? While my sword skills might not match up to yours, handling that brat is a breeze!ā
Miles jumped into the martial world not too long ago, full of big dreams. Now, with a great opportunity in front of him, he wasnāt about to back down.
Crystal warned earnestly, subtly reminding him, āMiles, donāt make the mistake of underestimating your opponent. Think before you act.
āThis warrior from Kimboku daring to challenge martial artists near the Sacred Wyrm Summit isnāt just anybody, Charging in recklessly might lead you right into their trap.ā
Seeing Marco daring to challenge martial artists at the Sacred Wyrm Summit indicated that he must be an exceptional individual from Kimboku.
Given Milesā current strength, it was obvious that he was not a match for Marco.
āCrystal, have some faith in me, okay? Iām the same age as that brat. I canāt believe Iām inferior to him.ā Ignoring the advice, he kept raising his hand for the challenge.
Due to the Sword Unionās excellent reputation, many people turned their attention toward them.
āYoung man, are you the disciple of the Sword Union?ā Quincy asked, drawn by Milesā loud voice.
āYes!ā Miles promptly showed his Sword Union disciple badge to confirm his affiliation.
āGreat⦠Youāre indeed the Sword Union disciple!ā Quincy nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the badge. ā Young man, whatās your name?ā
āIām Miles. Nice to meet you, Elder Douglas!ā Miles nodded respectfully, full of excitement. Now in the spotlight, he could feel his adrenaline pumping.
āMiles, do you think you can beat Marco?ā Quincy inquired.
āWell, I canāt promise for sure, but I believe I have a good chance!ā Miles replied confidently.
āGreat! Thatās excellent!ā Quincy chuckled.
He added, āIāve heard that Sword Union disciples are outstanding, and today, I see itās not all talk.
āSince youāre so confident, youāll be representing Dragonmarsh in the battle. Remember, only victory is acceptable. Thereās no room for defeat!
āNo problem!ā Miles nodded respectfully. āEven if I have to risk my life, Iāll defeat the warriors from Kimboku and bring glory to our nation!
āExcellent! Well said!ā
The crowd applauded to show their support for Milesā determination. 1
Although the Celestial Alliance held the most influence and members in Dragonmarsh, when it came to elite disciples and master quality, the Sword Union clearly stood out at the top.
The Sword Union recruited disciples with extraordinary talents, though they were few in number but high in quality.
Glenn was a prime example. In his twenties, he not only became an ultimate grandmaster but also climbed the ranks of the Astonishing World List.
The prestige of such achievements was enough for all sects to admire.
