A burst of joy filled my heart, and I couldn't help thinking, "This Crane guy's pretty reasonable."
Usually, I wouldn't even have the right to negotiate.
Plus, Crane's power was beyond anything I could imagine - he was on the sa level as the Star!
Getting to spar with soone in my realm like Crane was a once-in-a-lifeti chance, and it could even boost my mindset fast and help push into the Martial Saint Realm!
"Alright!" I agreed right away.
Crane got up and said, "et here tomorrow at this ti."
"Sure." I bowed a little, then left with the man with the mustache.
Once we got out of the grotto-heaven, the man with the mustache couldn't wait to say, "Mason Raymond, the Master's life is in your hands now, so you better make the most of this chance!"
I rolled my eyes and said, "I wouldn't waste this opportunity even if you hadn't said anything."
I paused for a mont and muttered, "But it's still pretty weird. Why does Crane want to go up against the Divine Dragon Power..."
The man with the mustache snorted, "You didn't know that the Divine Dragon Power is like an ancient subject eting the emperor for demonic beasts."
"Usually, regular demonic beasts would be lucky not to drop to their knees when they see the Divine Dragon Power."
I asked in shock, "Is it really that intense?"
"You won't believe it until you test it on soone," the man with the mustache muttered.
While we talked, soone ca over from nearby.
He was supposed to take to where I'd be staying.
The three of us got close to the place, and I patted the guy's shoulder and asked, "Hey, is Crane's true form actually a crane?"
The man pulled away from with a disgusted look and said with pure contempt, "You better not touch . Just because Crane let you live doesn't an we'll be nice to you."
I rubbed my chin, thought for a second, then fired up the Divine Dragon Power.
The mont the Divine Dragon Power mark showed up, the man's face went white with terror, and his whole body started shaking like crazy.
Even though he tried to fight it, his knees started bending, ready to drop.
I quickly pulled back the Divine Dragon Power and said awkwardly, "Sorry about that, didn't an to!"
The guy didn't care about my apology - his eyes were full of fear as he looked at . Then he turned and bolted.
"So the Divine Dragon Power really hits demonic beasts that hard..." I mumbled.
"When it cos to Crane, it's amazing how he can handle the Divine Dragon Power so calmly..." I thought.
It made think of Leticia.
Leticia was one of the most dignified guys I'd ever t.
But even he almost dropped to his knees when faced with Divine Dragon Power.
Only Crane just frowned a bit and was even able to attack .
"Man, I'd guess Crane's lived for at least a thousand years with that kind of power," the man with the mustache said, stroking his facial hair.
I gasped in surprise, "He's really that old?"
"What did you expect? Demonic beasts have a much harder ti cultivating than us, but once they nail it, their strength blows humans away," the man with the mustache muttered.
I stayed quiet, but my respect for Crane grew even deeper.
...
The next day,
Just like we planned, I showed up at the grotto-heaven.
Crane looked like he'd been waiting for for a while. His long white hair and almost perfect build made him look like so gorgeous guy who'd walked out of a painting.
I tried to read Crane's energy and found out he'd already held himself back to the Half-step Martial Sage realm.
"Let's get started," Crane said with no expression.
Not wasting another second, I fired up the Divine Dragon Power and let my aura explode!
The second Divine Dragon Power appeared, Crane's eyebrows scrunched up slightly, and a thin layer of sweat ford on his forehead really fast.
That was enough to show how much pressure the Divine Dragon Power put on him!
"The Divine Dragon Power seems to stress you out pretty bad," I said.
"This isn't a fair match. How about I dial back my strength by one level?"
"Don't bother," Crane said coldly.
Before he finished talking, Crane's figure suddenly blurred, and his crazy speed left afterimages, giving no ti to react!
"Boom!"
Crane's palm slamd into my chest!
A gentle but overwhelming force exploded in my chest!
Even though I had a chaotic body, under this strange force, I still got launched hundreds of ters away, breaking several ribs!
I crawled out of the rubble, rubbing my chest and whispered, "So damn strong..."
This was probably the toughest opponent I'd faced so far!
Most importantly, we were at the sa level!
"You better use your real power," said Crane, breathing a little hard, sweat still dripping down his forehead.
I flexed my arm and said coldly, "Alright, here I co!"
As I spoke, waves of golden light burst from my body, instantly pushing my physical strength to the max!
"Watch out!"
With a loud yell, I charged at Crane, firing up the Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!
