Kent vs Sword Saintess Val (1)

"Have you heard?" a disciple asked his friend. 

"Heard what?" 

"That brat who won the Trial of the Sword just challenged the Sword Saintess from the Everlasting Immortal Sword Sect to a sword duel." 

"What?!" the friend exclaimed with a shocked expression. 

This friend was the same Max who, out of greed, chose to enter the roster of the 100 disciples Kent traumatized—ahem—defeated during the Sword Trial. 

He had been recovering after that battle, so he hadn't come out to hear what was going on around the sect. However, just now, his friend arrived with another piece of news, and it was shocking. 

Even more shocking than the challenge that took place weeks ago. 

"Tell me it's a lie," Max said. 

"Can't you see what's going on outside?" his friend replied, causing Max to look out the window. True to his friend's words, disciples could be seen moving toward the largest coliseum of the Sword Gate.
