Chapter 22 Challenge

While Andre and Derrick were talking, Robert and Stefan were already approaching.

Although the latter has been ridiculed by the people of the Byron Empire, he is still a level nine powerhouse. The sophisticated Andre still said hello politely.

At the same time, introductions were also made to both parties.

In addition to the famous Stefan, Robert is also from the Beni Empire, and he is also a ninth-level warrior who practices earth-based fighting spirit. However, the weapon he uses is a green-brown sword. He is not young at all. He seems to be older than Andre.

"So your name is Leian!"

As soon as Andre finished speaking, Robert shouted.

From the moment he first appeared, this guy has been staring at Leian intently. At this moment, his tone is calm, but his eyes are full of scrutiny.

Leian frowned slightly, and he could easily see through Robert's mind. It was just that he was dissatisfied after seeing him receive the goddess token.

However, before Leian could speak, Robert suddenly narrowed his eyes and spoke again in a cold tone:

"Leian, I, Robert, formally challenge you, do you dare to agree?"

As soon as these words came out, Derrick and Andre's expressions changed. Then, Derrick said with a sarcastic sneer:

"The people of Beni Empire are as shameless as ever!"

Hearing Derrick's merciless ridicule, Robert's face instantly darkened, and Stefan also coldly replied:

"Derrick, please keep your mouth clean. Don't think that because you are from the Byron royal family, I don't dare to teach you a lesson!"

"Why, is it rare that I made a mistake?"

Derrick was still sneering. After speaking, he turned his head and explained to Leian.

It turns out that as long as the people of Youquan Continent can take the initiative to challenge the goddess token holder, the latter can choose to agree or refuse.

But if you accept the challenge and lose, the goddess token will belong to the other party, which means that you will lose the qualification to compete for the goddess's named disciple.

Of course, this challenge can only be initiated within the same level.

Moreover, over the years, an unwritten rule has been formed, that is, the challenger cannot be much older than the token holder, generally no more than thirty years.

Derrick had also heard of Robert in front of him. Although he didn't know his specific age, he was definitely not younger than Andre, and Andre was ninety-eight this year.

Based on this calculation, Robert is at least sixty years older than Leian.

Despite being so much older, he still issued a challenge shamelessly. No wonder Derrick couldn't help but ridicule him.

As Derrick finished speaking, Robert smiled coldly and said unhurriedly:

"You also said that this is an unwritten rule. If I remember correctly, the goddess has no age limit for challengers!"

"you!"

Derrick didn't expect that Robert would be so shameless and shameless. He was choked and couldn't speak. He could only stare at the other person angrily.

You know, in Youquan Continent, generally people above level eight, whether they are warriors or magicians, will be respected as "strong", and strong people will generally guard the dignity and face of being strong.

The reputation of "bullying the young by the older" has never been good, which is why there is an unwritten rule about "age".

As a veteran ninth-level warrior, Robert has completely given up his reputation as a "strong man" for the sake of the goddess token, which is really despising.

Stefan, who was traveling with him, was probably a little embarrassed. After Derrick revealed the unwritten rule, he stood aside with a cold face and said nothing.

As the person involved, Leian couldn't describe his feelings at this time. To be honest, he didn't value the goddess token very much. He was willing to give it away even if his friends asked for it. But not valuing tokens does not mean that he does not value face. Although he himself is not willing to step on others to become famous, he is even more unwilling to become a stepping stone for others.

It just so happened that I couldn't hide the fact that I received the goddess token today. With the challenge rules, I would inevitably be disturbed in the future.

In the past, Leian would have been happy to accept challenges from strong men from all walks of life, but now he just wanted to retreat and practice the rules of destruction he had learned.

In order to avoid trouble in the future, the best way is to scare the monkeys. Robert bumped into him at this time, and Leian felt sorry for him if he didn't accept it.

Thinking of this, Leian said calmly:

"I'll be waiting for you in Maple Leaf City on January 1st next year."

Robert's goal was the goddess token. Seeing Leian accepting his challenge, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and chuckled:

"I have some courage. Okay, I will go to Maple Leaf City to find you on January 1st next year."

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Leian would regret it, Robert turned around and left, not giving Leian and others a chance to speak again.

When Stefan saw this, he sighed lightly. He said hello quickly and turned to leave, but avoided Robert's direction.

When the two of them completely disappeared into the jungle, Derrick turned to look at Leian, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.

Although he said in front of Andre that Leian was his brother, he himself knew very well that the friendship between the two had not reached that point yet, and he was not qualified to dictate Leian's decision.

But in his eyes, Leian is indeed a genius, but Robert has been a ninth-level warrior for decades and has extremely rich combat experience. It is not that easy for Leian to win.

On the other side, Andre had the same idea, but he didn't show much concern. Instead, he asked half-jokingly:

"Leian, are you sure?"

Leian smiled and did not reply directly. He replied in the same joking tone: "If you are interested, you can come and watch the match on the day of the match."

When the two saw this, they were too embarrassed to ask further questions.

Now, Andre had no interest in continuing his training. When he heard that Leian and Derrick were preparing to return to the imperial capital, he also left the Youquan Mountains together.

……

The imperial capital, Maple Leaf City!

When Leian stepped into this majestic city again, it was already the cold winter season.

Two years ago, when he left, no one knew him. Today, two years later, when he came back here, there were already occasional people whispering behind his back.

Leian was not surprised by this. Two years ago, his feat of killing the blue-eyed horned tiger with one sword outside the Youquan Mountains was seen by many people. The reputation of a young warrior and strong man would inevitably change. spread among these people.

Moreover, he is sure that after January 1st next year, his reputation will be even more famous.

"So, do I also want to be famous in the mainland?"

In the imperial capital, on the road leading to the West District, Leian thought with a hint of self-deprecation.

After being away from home for two years, he didn't miss it much, but he was a little curious about what the Barrys would think when they knew their son was so powerful.

However, just as Leian was speculating on his parents' reaction, he didn't know that the Barrys had already prepared a big surprise for him.
