Chapter 503: Against Sect Master Kang
Aldrian was stunned by Sect Master Kang’s request. He had not expected something like this and looked at the sect master with raised eyebrows.
Sect Master Kang was still smiling at Aldrian.
"You know, I haven’t had a good fight in a long time. Ever since I became sect master, no one has been able to stir my spirit or make me want to go all out. All I’ve encountered are weaklings, not even worth half my strength. I can’t just challenge Ryu Hyukjae because of our positions and responsibilities. However—" His gaze sharpened, brimming with burning determination.
"You’re someone I can ask. I want to test myself against a strong opponent like you. I saw your battle with the traitor from the church, and I want to feel that power for myself. Maybe it’s selfish, but I want to savor the thrill of battling someone who can actually excite me."
Aldrian now understood what was on Sect Master Kang’s mind. He was the type—a battle fanatic. People like him, who lived for the thrill of fighting, could be troublesome. Still, for Aldrian, this might turn out to be a valuable experience.
Battling a powerful body cultivator would deepen his comprehension of this kind of fighting style for future encounters with opponents like Sect Master Kang. It would be a completely different experience from his fight with Kang Yongjin, the successor of the Heavenly Demon’s Black Dragon Scripture.
Aldrian smiled at him.
"Sure. I also want to feel the power of the Black Dragon Pavilion’s sect master. It will be a good experience for me," he said.
"Then follow me."
Sect Master Kang stood up with vigor and walked out of the building, with Aldrian close behind. They took to the sky and flew far from the sect, eventually landing five hundred kilometers away in a desolate expanse of rocky terrain, with no one else in sight.
They put five hundred meters of space between them and faced each other.
