Surprisingly, against everyone's expectations, Fabio actually accepted the challenge. First of all, it was already unusual for one of the princes to ensue a challenge against someone who had lower cultivation. But because of how Trian lost face, he wanted to vent his anger a little by using a higher level cultivator. Even Trian didn't expect Fabio to really go forward with it.
"Little brother, you're acting just like Naevys, getting ahead of yourself," Trian could not help but say in response.
Fabio shook his head, though. "It's fine. What's the point in running away from a situation like this? It's not like he can run during the Sacred Land Recruitment, right? It's for his own good that he should learn how to deal with stronger opponents. As for whether he will win or not, that's up to his abilities."
