As it turns out

"So my senior wishes to bully me? Well, in that case, I request that we greet each other for a fight!" the innate arrogance of Hai Chenfeng took control of his better judgement, and he thought to himself, [since you know that you're stronger than me, you think you can just bully me around by using sheer force? I would rather die at your hands before I let you intimidate me! Whatever the outcome, Hai Chenfeng is also the disciple of one of the 'Eight Great Masters'! You really think you can frighten me that easily? ]
