Upon hearing Nie Xiong's challenge, Luo Yu agreed without a second thought, a cold sneer on his lips: "What's there to fear? We're both at the First Level of the Yangshen Realm. To defeat you, it will only take a few strikes of my sword."
Ma Ritian's expression changed drastically upon hearing Luo Yu's words. He initially wanted to stop Luo Yu from agreeing, but before he could speak, Luo Yu had already accepted.
"Luo Yu, you mustn't," Ma Ritian said urgently.
Luo Yu replied disdainfully: "Master, what is there to fear? Just a few days ago, I defeated a purple-robed disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect who was a Second Level warrior in the Yangshen Realm, and he was stronger than this one. Yet I defeated him. How could I possibly lose to someone at just the First Level of the Yangshen Realm?"
