Amos squinted at the guest hall in front of him.“A battle of wits does fit the sect’s habits. It’d be a lot easier for the populace to accept it, too.“In reality, we might not be able to win through martial arts alone. That’s why we can’t let down our guard. Right. Who’s going to challenge us tonight anyway?”“I heard Master Roben would probably show up himself,” Serval said quietly. “He’s the best debater in the Smalt Sect; we might just lose if he challenges us. Should we make preparations here?”Amos was in deep thought for a moment.“No need. Since the Aenar Temple’s planning to send Master Roben, all we need to do is stop him from showing up.“Tell everyone that we won’t prepare any of the monks this time.“I’ll join the battle myself.“If Master Roben’s willing to take advantage of a junior, the Aenar Temple would be humiliated even if they win.”Serval froze, then smiled faintly. “As expected of you, Young Master. The Aenar Temple wouldn’t be able to send anyone but
Stefan’s face darkened after seeing Amos’s determined expression. Since he came here way before Amos did, he naturally got word already.Amos was planning to participate in the battle on his own; he didn’t want the other monks to take his place.This meant that Stefan had no choice but to do the same. If he didn’t, he’d lose his advantage.When Stefan hesitated to give a reply, Harvey’s calm tone was heard.“Let’s do that.“But it’s boring to bet on the beads alone.“How about this? Let’s raise the stakes.“If you win, I’ll deal with your energies, guaranteeing your survival along with the improvement of your training!“But if you lose, you’ll have to give up your training in front of everyone here.“How does that sound?”Everyone was instantly shocked after hearing Harvey’s words.‘Where did this guy even come from? When does an outsider like him even get the right to butt in? He wants Amos to give up his training? He has a death wish or something!’Amos frowned at Harve
“That said, I’m a careful man too!” Harvey said casually.“I don’t care about oaths, nor do I care about morals. I want the deal in black in white.”Amos felt relieved after hearing those words.He was afraid of Harvey not asking for anything, determined to take him down at any cost. Harvey’s actions were enough to make him stop worrying.Soon, two contracts were made before Harvey and Amos signed their names and stamped their fingerprints.“Please, Sir York.”After carefully putting the contracts away, Amos smiled before gesturing for Harvey to step forward.Harvey smiled before stepping on the pedestal without wasting any time.The Smalt Sect had built two big pedestals for the battle.A circular mat was seen at the top of the thirty-foot pedestal after going up the steps.A massive statue of Caesar Augustus was in between the two pedestals.Ninety-nine different seats were prepared in the entire guest hall.Other than the followers, pilgrims, and journalists, nine high m
Amos Augustus chuckled. He was not planning to hold back.“Since you’re not from a sect, let me ask you a question.“Is there a difference between God and everyone else?”The monks were looking at Amos with admiration.The simple question was enough to test Harvey York towards God’s existence.More importantly, Amos’ exceptional wisdom was also adequately portrayed.Harvey curled his lips before smiling at the crowd.“Of course there is.“Since the law isn’t biased towards anyone else, it’s only natural that your teachings would teach the same.“It doesn’t matter if anyone learned the teachings. Life is one big teaching on its own.”Harvey’s casual reply was enough to make Stefan Augustus’ eyes twitch.The sect’s teachings treated everyone as equals. It did not matter what the status of each person was.Even great evil were given chances to change, let alone ordinary people.The monks froze. They did not think a mere outsider would even say something like that.Amos took
‘What did he say?‘I shouldn’t be in the position in the first place…?’Amos Augustus’ expression instantly changed. He wanted to say something, but he seemed utterly speechless at this moment.It was not that Harvey was good at debating. His straightforward words were enough for Amos to be stumped.The monks looked at each other before they started discussing.“Harvey wins this match!” exclaimed the monk in the middle.‘Harvey won!’The simple words echoed like lightning inside the guest hall.There was no massive debate nor clever use of words, as everyone thought.Amos’ train of thought was instantly crushed after hearing Harvey’s words.“Looks like you still lost after all.”Harvey stood before casually looking at Amos.“Since that’s the case, do you want me to help you? Or are you going to do it yourself?”Amos instantly came to his senses before showing a horrible expression.“Do you really want to cripple me that badly, Harvey?” he exclaimed after letting out a col
“Change your ways!”“Turn back!”Thirty-six monks with different colored robes appeared all over the hall.Those people were guards of the nine high monks with terrifying combat strength. They quickly surrounded the people of the Smalt Sect without warning.The people watching stumbled back with terrified looks.They were followers of the Smalt Sect, but they were not idiots either.Anyone could tell that Amos Augustus was prepared to fight to the death.“Move!”Serval furiously roared at the people before him.Six monks were sent tumbling on the ground after being hit by the sound wave.Serval immediately activated his Iron Skin before charging into the crowd.The monks flew, one after another.Nobody expected Serval to be this strong.Using the opportunity, the people of the Smalt Sect quickly left with Amos. The people of Aenar Temple returned to their senses immediately after that.They quickly swarmed forward, facing against the Smalt Sect with the rest of the high m
“Silence people?Amos Augustus gave a cold chuckle.“There wouldn’t be any trouble as long as nothing here gets spread out!”Harvey York casually waved his phone.“You might’ve forgotten something. Times have changed.“This is the age of media. As long as someone uploads everything online, there’d be no point even if you kill everyone here.“Besides, since Stefan’s reliable, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger.”Stefan Augustus stumbled, almost falling to the ground after hearing those words. He meant to remain discreet at first…The situation gave him strange thoughts, and Harvey’s words immediately made his situation extremely awkward.He would turn into the outskirts’ biggest joke if he remained in hiding.Without a second thought, Stefan quickly stood out.“I knew you’d do this in the first place, Amos!” he coldly exclaimed.“Don’t worry! If someone here gets hurt, I’ll ensure everything’s uploaded to the media!“You people are absolutely shameless…“But there are m
Kroom!A resounding roar came from the clouds when the entire place was devoid of color.The strength of Serval’s punch was beyond imagination.Even Hollywood movies would rarely use special effects like this.Many people were so shocked that they did not even have time to scream.The wealthy ladies instinctively covered their eyes after seeing such a terrifying sight.They were already imagining Harvey York’s head exploding like a watermelon.Then again, against such a powerful attack, Harvey only grabbed Serval’s fist with a calm look.Bam!The air ripped when the two collided.“Die!” exclaimed Serval with his head raised.Crack!Sounds of bones cracking echoed throughout the hall.Nobody thought Serval’s arm would be completely messed up like that.Bam!Harvey casually tossed Serval away.Serval was sent flying into a wall and slowly slid down among the sparks of lightning and crackling fire.He wanted to crawl back up again but immediately lost all his strength aft
