"Human, do you know who we are?"
"This is disrespect."
"The humans have gotten arrogant."
"Let's give him a lesson."
Auras emanated from the surrounding statues as they started crashing down on Ning to punish him for his insolence.
Ning's knees caved in a little when the aura of so many beasts in the 9th Nascent Soul realm fell upon him at once.
However, that was only because Ning was caught off-guard. Once he realized what was happening, he slowly stood back up straight and contested the many beasts' push.
"You can go on as long as you like; I can do this all day long," Ning said. "Although, given how much you must have sacrificed to live for so long, are you sure you want to fight me right now?"
The aura disappeared as soon as it came.
"Who are you, human? The humans alive in our time were in no way this strong. Are all humans like you now?," one of the beasts said.
