Chapter 13: Clash of Titans
The serene aura of Denny C's cultivation room was disrupted by a sudden intrusion. Liu, with a smug grin and a vindictive glint in his eyes, had gone to lengths to summon his elder brother, Kizo—an imposing figure in the sect known for his strength and authority at the War Realm level.
Kizo's presence was felt even before he stepped into the room. His powerful aura seemed to fill the air, a storm waiting to be unleashed. As the door swung open, Denny's gaze met Kizo's, his heart unfazed by the show of power before him.
"Ah, so you're the one who thought it was a good idea to humiliate my brother?" Kizo's voice was laced with an icy chill, his eyes narrowing at Denny.
Denny met Kizo's gaze evenly. "I acted within the bounds of the challenge."
Kizo's lips curved into a menacing smile. "Did you now? Well, let's see if you can handle the consequences."
Liu watched with a twisted satisfaction as his elder brother advanced, each step resonating with the weight of his cultivation. With an air of authority, Kizo demanded, "Hand over the divine crystals."
Denny's expression remained unyielding. "These crystals were given to me by Elder Zhang. I won't hand them over."
Kizo's laughter reverberated through the room, a chilling echo. "Stubborn, are we? Well then, prepare for a lesson in respect."
In an instant, the atmosphere shifted as Kizo launched himself at Denny. A clash of power erupted, causing the stone walls to tremble. Denny, fueled by a resolute determination, met each of Kizo's strikes head-on, his movements instinctive and driven by the fire within.
Denny's lack of technique was offset by his unwavering resolve, each blow delivered with a precision that showcased his natural talent. The room became a battleground, their power causing the walls to crack and shatter.
As the clash escalated, an alarming cacophony echoed through the sect's grounds, reaching the ears of the Bull Fight Sect's elders. They hurriedly converged toward the source of the commotion, their expressions a mix of concern and curiosity.
Inside the room, the fight raged on. Kizo's use of the Bull Force technique was evident in his strength, each strike resonating with the force of a charging bull. Denny, however, relied on his innate power and adaptability, his movements fluid and determined.
With a surge of energy, Denny pushed himself further, his resolve burning brighter than ever. Unexpectedly, a shockwave erupted from him, sending Kizo stumbling back. The realization hit both combatants—their cultivation levels were evenly matched.
Kizo's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're at the War Realm too?"
Denny's breaths were steady, his gaze fierce. "I'm here to prove myself, just like anyone else."
As the elders of the Bull Fight Sect arrived at the scene, their astonishment was palpable. The room lay in ruins, the battle's intensity having left its mark. Among them was Elder Zhang, his gaze flickering between the two disciples who stood, panting, at the center of the chaos.
The realization that Denny C had reached the same cultivation level as Kizo, a seasoned 21-year-old, sent shockwaves through the onlookers. A silence settled over the room, the air charged with a mixture of amazement and pride for the young disciple who had defied expectations.
The chapter ended with the weight of the unexpected revelation—Denny C's potential had been unveiled in a battle that not only shook the stone walls, but also the very foundations of the Bull Fight Sect.
