The Medallion

"Captain Xavier, please!" Ramon said nothing more except gesture.

"It appears I have underestimated you, Captain Raman. I knew you could win one or two rounds at most, but I never expected you to achieve them all in one go. That’s no easy feat!" Xavier admitted dismally.

"All I did was give it my best during the battles. I thought about nothing else," Ramon replied calmly.

"Good for you. However, that’s where you’ll have to stop. You’ll certainly lose this round. Don’t even think about securing the spot of Security Hall leader. You’re not qualified for it!" Xavier exclaimed with disdain.

"Captain Xavier, since we share the same title, wouldn’t that make you just as unqualified?" Ramon retorted.

"Don’t you dare compare me to you!" Xavier replied arrogantly.

"Cut the crap. Let’s fight!" Ramon exclaimed with a cold scowl.

Xavier’s disrespect was no surprise. He quickly unsheathed the Blood Sword behind him as it morphed into a red shadow that rushed towards Ramon.

Unlike all their previous confrontations, Ramon wasn’t passive this time with Xavier’s attack. He knew that the latter’s power wasn’t that of a newcomer’s as their strengths were evenly matched. Since he was able to break through into his current level in half a month, he knew that Xavier could have also made great improvement. Moreover, Xavier’s master was one of the elders of the Sword Spirit Sect whose status was next in line to the sect leader and sword guardians. Ramon knew he needed to go all out this time or he’d have no chance of defeating his opponent.

Just as Ramon expected, Xavier’s movements became more fluid and flexible. They were nothing like the furious and impulsive flows from before. His blows also came at tricky angles that were hard to defend against.

Fortunately, he had received secret training back at the Black-devouring Swamp which allowed him to easily dodge and avoid multiple attacks from various angles.
