After swearing the oath, Fang Yun looked at Ao Ku, his eyes sparkling with sincerity.
Dragon City showed no reaction whatsoever.
After quite a while, Ao Ku suppressed his fury and asked, "How do you humans describe someone who is especially formidable?"
"Unmatched beneath the heavens," Fang Yun replied casually.
"No, a slang term," Ao Ku said.

"More vulgar," Ao Ku said.
"Badass."
"I think you're quite the badass!" Ao Ku glared furiously, staring Fang Yun down.
Fang Yun wore an innocent expression and said solemnly, "I don't understand."

Ao Ku continued glaring at Fang Yun, powerless to refute him.
