At Nikko Toshogu Shrine in Nikko City, three pairs of eyes focused intently on the young man who suddenly appeared before them.
Haru looked at the young man with immense gratitude. Even though the man was holding a challenge letter, Haru didn't care. Fighting was nothing compared to the fear of Sora's wrath.
Lu Yinghua, acutely aware of the unusual gratitude directed at him, felt a shiver run down his spine. Could this King... have a preference for men? His heart sank. Out of the frying pan and into the fire?
"Ahem, who is your master?" Haru had already guessed the answer from the young man's over-the-top flattery, but this wasn't the time to show off his foresight. His priority was to distract Sora, then find a way to appease her.
"My master is the current leader of the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains, the Martial Arts King, Luo Hao. I have come at her behest to deliver this challenge letter!" Lu Yinghua bowed deeply, performing a fist-and-palm salute. Then, he presented the letter to Haru with both hands.
Haru casually took the envelope and opened it, examining the contents of the challenge. Each character was powerful and elegant, clearly written by a master calligrapher. What was even more impressive was that each character was carved into the paper.
On a sheet of paper only two millimeters thick, these characters had been etched with true Ki, each stroke precise and unwavering, carved to a depth of one millimeter.
Haru traced the familiar characters with his fingers, his heart filled with shock. To achieve such control over one's Ki was truly remarkable.
