Dominic was worried and furious. Darryl was Master Franklin’s descendent and it was not easy to persuade Darryl to agree to his request. However, his daughter was rejecting it in every possible way.
The entire castle went silent.
Everyone looked closely at Darryl with mixed emotions. ‘Who is this guy? How did he make the Mayor respect him so much?’
Ivy was stunned too!
Dominic's words crashed into her heart like an invisible giant hammer. ‘Father won’t recognize me as his own daughter if I don’t recognize this teacher? Why? This person dressed like a slave, so what’s so good about him?’
“What Bagua Formation? He doesn’t have any abilities at all. He wasn’t caught because he got lucky. I won’t recognize him as my teacher,” Ivy took a deep breath and said.
"You..." Dominic was completely furious and trembling in anger.
Noticing her father’s anger, Ivy realized this was not the right time for her to reject her father. She looked around and pointed at a well-built soldier next to her. “I’ll recognize him as a teacher if he can defeat Holden.”
Dominic frowned and Darryl tilted his head as he looked at Holden. Holden was well-built, almost two meters tall, wore heavy armor, and looked like a hill from a distance. He was holding a giant sword and looked intimidating.
At that moment, the other soldiers became excited. Martial arts were popular in the Roland Continent. No matter which city it was, there would be a special venue set for people to battle. They would not call it a battle but a competition.
In San Morio City, the competition was held annually. All the soldiers were excited to see Ivy challenging Darryl to fight Holden.
Holden was famous and was Dominic’s personal guard. He was a knight and an intermediate Saint King level as well as the strongest man that worked for Dominic.
“How about that? Do you dare?” Ivy looked arrogant as she looked Darryl up and down, feeling confident.
At that moment, Holden had already walked to the center of the empty space.
Darryl took a deep breath and said casually, "I don't use weapons."
Although his internal energy had only recovered slightly, it was more than enough to take Holden down. Also, his Heavenly Halberd was an unusual weapon from another world and he would not show it so easily.
Both Dominic and Ivy, as well as everyone around them, were surprised to hear that.
Most people would think Darryl was just bragging. A battle in the Roland Continent was not as complicated as those in The Nine Continent. They used softness to overcome rigidity or shifting of weight. It was purely a battle of one’s own strength, so weapons were particularly important under such circumstances.
Holden’s giant sword was hard and sharp, which was an advantage on its own. However, Darryl chose not to use any weapons. It would be impossible for him to win and he would be defeated.
