Also, Sky Law, this sly woman, had also suggested the condition of kneeling down and begging for forgiveness.
She had tricked Tu Cheng!
Sky Law knew Tu Cheng’s temperament and disposition. In front of the crowd, the reputation-loving Tu Cheng would never admit defeat, because admitting defeat meant kneeling down and begging for forgiveness.
Tu Cheng was an [Innate], but he was not the type of Ranker who was ready to bow and submit or endure humiliation in order to fulfill a more important goal. He was merely a strong and stubborn-headed ox.
The Thousand Goblins Sect Leader was in a very bad mood. Firstly, it was because he was unable to tell Yue Yang’s true strength. Secondly, it was because he was tricked by the combined scheme of the Night Empress and Sky Law. Thirdly, his subordinate Tu Cheng did not comply with his orders completely. However, with his disposition of enduring troubles silently, he also did not show this to others. On the contrary, he pretended to respect Tu Cheng’s decision. His behaviour may have confused everybody now, but he had also imperceptibly changed the angle of the situation to benefit himself … … If Yue Yang really won, then everybody would become more reverent of him due to his previous foresight. If Tu Cheng lost, then the potential impact on him would be minimized.
“Sect Leader, please forgive Tu Cheng from disobeying your order. This is my first time disobeying your order, and it will also be the last time as well. From now onwards, Tu Cheng dares to guarantee that I will never disobey your orders again. However, today, please permit Tu Cheng to have a decisive battle with this fellow to determine victory. I will not accept this kind of ending and I do not believe that I will fail. He is a Level One [Innate] and he has the help of the Ancient Runes. His level of strength is not far from mine, but Sect Leader, Tu Cheng is really confident of beating him! Because Tu Cheng has already succeeded in training Threefold-Strengthening!” Tu Cheng turned his body and knelt down on one knee to humbly apologise to the Sect Leader.
To fall out with the Sect Leader was not a joke. Tu Cheng was not that kind of idiot, he understood the Sect Leader’s strength and temperament clearly.
But Tu Cheng could not accept this defeat.
Even if the brat he was facing had potential that was regarded importantly by the Night Empress and Sky Law and was also extremely cunning and had fast reflexes, he was just a newly promoted [Innate] after all. He was only a Level One [Innate]! He, himself, was an [Innate] that had trained for two hundred years, and not long before this he had already trained Threefold-Strengthening.
The amount of battle strength added up from Threefold-Strengthening was already close to that of an Infinite Level Three [Innate].
Could it be that with his unlimited strength that was almost as strong as the strength of a Level Three [Innate], he still could not defeat a small kid of Level One [Innate]?
Even if he was beaten to death, Tu Cheng would not believe that he would lose!
Even if he disobeyed the Sect Leader’s orders, he wanted to defeat his opponent and redeem his honour! He would definitely not kneel for a weakling that was lower-leveled than him, what basis does this brat have … …
“Heh!” On seeing this, Phoenix Fairy smiled. She looked like she had just watched her prey foolishly falling into the trap she had previously prepared.
“Threefold-Strengthening?” Yue Yang wanted to experience the strength of Threefold-Strengthening.
Just now, Yue Yang had learnt the true Twice-Strengthening from Tu Cheng. He had added two gigantic shadows onto his own body, and realised that his strength had exponentially increased, until he could almost be on par with Tu Cheng. This Threefold-Strengthening … … Three gigantic shadows added together, how much strength would that be?
