Chapter 169 - 168: Defeated in Seconds
Hong Dali had harbored resentment towards Lin Hao ever since he was thrown off the building. After fermenting for a day, almost everyone in the Inner Courtyard knew about it, and many couldn’t help but mock him upon seeing him.
He had to regain the face he had lost.
The only way to do that was to teach Lin Hao a lesson!
Hong Dagang’s return today couldn’t have been more timely. Upon seeing Hong Dagang, his eyes were red-rimmed, as though he had been greatly wronged.
"Him?" Hong Dagang looked towards Lin Hao and said with arrogance, "Hmph, perfect timing. Just now, I heard him talking about swordsmanship, and I plan to seek some advice from him."
"Master Du is my mentor. To say that my mentor misleads young people, I must see for myself if you’re even worthy of such a claim."
While speaking, he strode forward. By the time he finished speaking, he had already approached Lin Hao: "Let’s settle both old and new scores. Do you dare accept my challenge?"
"Grandmaster?" Lin Hao glanced at him and clearly discerned his strength—someone who had become a Grandmaster less than ten days ago.
"Becoming a Grandmaster at forty, what a remarkable talent." Lin Hao was slightly surprised, not expecting the Inner Courtyard to have such a person.
Between every major Realm, the ascension would be a bottleneck for countless individuals.
