As someone at the peak of the Integration stage in the Dark Sea Region, Zhang Aochun had naturally experienced no small number of battles. He had never before been forced into such a predicament by anyone else. A surge of anger rushed up, and he no longer hesitated before speaking:
"Fine. This Zhang will agree to Fellow Daoist's request and experience your abilities firsthand." The youth's icy words rang out, and at last he voiced his agreement.
An Integration stage cultivator was already a high-level cultivator even in the Spirit Realm. Being publicly slapped in the face by someone of the same rank before more than a hundred fellow cultivators—no one would retreat just like that.
Although Zhang Aochun had always been able to move freely on Phantom Star Island with his family as his backing, his own abilities were truly extraordinary as well. He had once fought a sea beast at the early Spirit Severing stage in the ocean.
Although he had not slain that Spirit Severing sea beast, he had not suffered any injuries either.
With such powerful abilities as his foundation, Zhang Aochun's acceptance of the condition proposed by the young man before him was not entirely an act of anger clouding his judgment. He still possessed some confidence in his heart.
At the same time, he was certain that the young cultivator before him was absolutely not from Phantom Star Island. Nor was he a cultivator from any of the major sects in the surrounding area that made the Zhang Family wary. With this in mind, his heart settled somewhat, and he became certain that the other party would not truly dare to kill him.
Even if he lost this time, he could naturally have the Old Ancestor appear and intercept and kill the man before
