COHAN’S ANGER

Arjun's rude words made Rick initially angry. But he accepted the challenge anyway. He stood up with great difficulty. He did not consume the pill and put it back in his pockets.

Looking at all these, Cohan shook his head. He said, "I don't understand why you people always commit these kind of suicidal acts. If you have recovered your strength, then it would have become very difficult for me to handle you. And I speak this with honesty. Because I never underestimated you people despite your background is not a noble one."

Cohan continued, "Just look at yourself. You are struggling even to stand up. How in the world you think that you could defeat me with your current state?"

Rick did not reply. He was silent. It did not mean that he do not wish to speak. It is just that he doesn't have enough strength to even open his mouth and speak.

Rick silently looked at Arjun. He nodded his head silently. Everyone knew that with this nod of his head, Rick has accepted the challenge.

Everyone started to admire Arjun. No one knows what kind of medicine he fed them. But no matter what kind of situation it is, no matter what kind of orders he gave, they found that Rick and other members of the Star Moon Team actually followed his orders without any questions.

Rick then looked at Cohan. He was serious. He knew that he had to defeat his opponent at any cost with his current state. Or else, he will have to face the consequences which is even worse than death.

Cohan knew that words are useless at this point of time. He once again swirled his black whip in the air for momentum. When he had control over the momentum of the black whip, he lashed it towards Rick.

And sure enough, just like Arjun said, Cohan's whip did not produce the same aura and damage like the last time. In fact, the power behind this whip was even lesser than when he used the whip for the first time.

Rick did not move. He knew that people felt Arjun was actually sending Rick to the death's door with his insane conditions. But nobody knew that Rick's body is made of Dao after reaching Level-1 Constitution.

Moreover, his body had the properties of a Wind Dragon. And more importantly, Cohan's black whip is at the weakest state ever. So how many times he took the lashes from the black whip, the damage won't be that high.

The only reason why Arjun put that insane condition is because he wanted to let Rick train when he was in a deadly situation. And he respected this condition.

As the black whip approaching him, Rick did not move intentionally. He knew that this might be risky. But after hearing the condition said by Arjun, he felt that death is better than losing.

But it doesn't mean that he wants to die now. He is risking is life in order to understand the current damage output of the black whip. Since because of the last attack, the black whip has been weakened state. He knew that Cohan was decisive. He used his trump card right at the beginning to end the fight quickly to raise the morale of the Raven Sect.

But he never imagined in his wildest dream that his black whip couldn't kill it's opponent. Even though it caused heavy damage to its target, this was definitely not enough.

As the black whip lashed down on his body, Rick felt only very little pain. The pain was not that high. And a system notification popped out within his sight which confirmed the current damage output of the black whip.

Health dropped by -1

Health : 59/1280

Rick smiled. When he received the heavy damage from the black whip previously, it was dropped directly to 60. That means, in the previous attack, he lost 1220 HP.

But when he took the attack this time, he lost only 1 HP. Rick knew that this black whip no longer pose any threat to him.

Even though Rick smiled because he knew his own circumstances, the people who didn't know about his gathering system felt as if they were looking at a monster.

How could one stay alive after taking smashes from the Grade-5 weapon? Even though the power of the weapon is lesser than the last time, it was still a weapon with quality which majority of them never saw before.

So when Rick was perfectly alright when he took that attack, they were shocked.

Cohan became angry. In the previous attack, he was sure that Rick would be chopped into two pieces for sure. He never imagined that Rick would only suffer some serious damage.

He not only succeeded in killing his opponent with that attack, his weapon has been damaged in the process. And yet, his opponent is still breathing. How could he stay calm after suffering such a loss?

And now the black whip is no longer effective against Rick. This reality frustrated him too much.

"I will not give up just like that!" ,Cohan roared as he attacked once again.

"Not good!" ,The one who said this was Bruce.

"Indeed." ,Arjun smiled and replied. He continued, "He has the upper hand. But because of the damage caused to his weapon, he lost his calm. All your sect's people had always been arrogant because of the name Raven Sect. You people were never in the situation where you had to put your life on the line in order to achieve your target. And this small matter made your teammate angry this easily."

Arjun continued, "And this arrogance will definitely cost him this battle. He might even die."

"How could you be so sure?" ,Bruce asked, "No matter what, intensive cultivation and considering the current situation your teammate is in, no matter how I see it, Cohan has the upper hand. So how could you be so sure that your team it will win?"

"I recall that this is the first time you are seeing Rick. You don't know anything about him at all. And as for me, we both grew up together. So how could I not know calm Rick is at the moment?" ,Arjun said, "You will soon very soon that Rick will be the final Victor of this battle!"

Bruce didn't reply. He simply looked at Arjun. He knew that Arjun was not making any rash comment. He was very calm with his prediction.

Bruce knew that Arjun might have seen the world far better than himself. Bruce's experience told him that, this calm Arjun is more scary.

But Bruce still watched the battle. Arjun was sure that Rick will win. He wanted to see how exactly Rick who was very close to the death's mouth could defeat Cohan with his own eyes.
