"Hahaha," the Supreme Battle Sect youths started laughing loudly, not at John, but in happiness at his words. "Well said. Although I don't know where you get your confidence from, a man should be like this!"
John turned to Adam, and instructed him to step back. "Although you can be useful in fights like these, sit this one out."
Adam nodded his head and walked to the side where the sword was. He began to closely inspect it, curious as to just how powerful it was. Studying the sword could give him insights on how to make his own.
The Supreme Battle Sect boy noticed this, and instructed his friends to step back as well. Valuing battle above all, the Supreme Battle Sect detested ganging up on someone with superior numbers. While they were battle maniacs, they were honorable battle maniacs. In their eyes, ganging up on an opponent would not lead to increased strength, and would only dull the instincts of everyone fighting.
