"You know, you don't look like you're as angry as you were, before. Sure you still wanna fight?"
Squaring off with Ding Yan in the center of the huge audience, Ryker leisurely rested his staff on his shoulders, waiting for Hu Long and Cui Feng to arrive before readying for the match.

"Of course I'm still angry, you brat," he said, clicking his tongue, "Do you know how long it's been since anyone's dared to disrespect me, in my own city?"
However, despite the venom in his voice, he couldn't hide his vicious smile, gripping his spear tightly as he went into stance.
"Besides, I'm dying to know what gives you the guts to stand before me so fearlessly. You should know that I'm at the peak of Nascent Soul, yes?"
