Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2452 Advancement

"The Proving Grounds has its own unspoken rules, and if you cannot pay up, no one will simply accept your challenge." The inner disciple chortled one last time and became silent.

"…"

Davis further understood that he could not force anyone to battle him. If he did, he might be arrested by the disciples affiliated with Law Enforcement. He could also see them moving around with their chins basically pointed towards the skies.

Who knew how arrogant they were?

Although the Law Enforcement Guardian was Saintess Lunaria, he knew that not everyone here knew that she was a part of their power. She was most likely a thing of the legends even to them.

However, Davis also found that this inner disciple's words also meant that if a true disciple asked, then he could make an exception. Truly, unspoken rules were… unspoken. It was not like he experienced them while living as an imperial family member back in the Loret Family, so he wasn't a foreigner to it.

It was just… since he was the monster there, those unspoken rules were all advantageous to him.

"Wait for some time. I'll go work hard for the Mid-Level Immortal Crystals that are necessary for me to challenge you." Davis chuckled.

"Fellow outer disciple, very good. You're learning fast. If one doesn't even have the courage to use up their month's wage to issue a promotion challenge, it could be said that their will and determination are lacking. You are different from those people I see daily, complaining about the unfairness of the situation when it is, in fact, fair. Trust me. It won't be long before your name resounds throughout the Aurora Cloud Gate."

The square-faced inner disciple praised Davis with a bright smile, causing the latter to smile more before he turned around.

"Senior sister Zora. Can you lend me some money?"

"…" That inner disciple.

"Pfft~"

Some of the disciples in the crowd unwittingly spat out their drinks, unable to suppress the swelling urge to laugh within them. Some even choked on their snacks, their expressions turning pale from laughing to death.

"…"

Zora Luan was also speechless, "You… don't you have the fifty thousand Low-Level Immortal Crystals I gave you before for the trouble I caused you? That is enough for you to exchange them for ten Mid-Level Immortal Crystals. Quick, give me that..."

She couldn't help but feel second-hand embarrassment for Davis, saving him some face but looking at his thick face that still produced a smile and his hands that rubbed against each other, she felt a chill on her back.

"Senior sister said that you will give me more money to get started. It couldn't be that you're going to back on your words, right?"

"…"

Zora Luan didn't know where she picked up this shameless junior brother. However, this commotion was too much for her. She could endure countless hostile gazes, but one that was silently making fun of her was very hard to deal with, much less many.

'Ah, my reputation is already in gutters because of him that I don't think it could go any low...'

She inwardly sighed, closing her eyes and revitalizing her psyche before handing him ten Mid-Level Immortal Crystals.

Once Davis took hold of them, he appeared as though he was holding a treasure before he turned around and presented them with the utmost care.

The inner disciple awkwardly accepted them, holding some pity for Davis as he smilingly nodded before walking up to one of the four stages.

The closest one had just cleared, so they walked up to that. The platform was spacious and strong enough to withstand even Immortal King attacks, so they didn't have to worry about running out of space to maneuver or destroy the platform.

Once the both of them entered the battle stage, that square-faced inner disciple turned around with a triumphant smile while having the pose of an expert. However, he couldn't help but chuckle as he saw Davis stand closer.

"Fellow outer disciple, are you sure that you don't want to gain some distance? Although we're both Level One Immortals, you should be aware of why I would have an inner disciple status."

Davis patted his chest, "I'm well aware, so let's get started."

"Alright, if you say- Fellow disciple! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The inner disciple's eyes gleamed with some insanity as he launched himself at Davis. His speed was truly astonishing as Wind Laws wrapped up his body and carried him like a wind blade.

"What!?"

"He started the fight after moving!? That's cheating!"

"What do you expect from one of the members of the Struggling Beginnings Gang?"

Many startled voices echoed. They could see him engaging a defenseless outer disciple who hadn't even entered his battle form yet, much less made a pose.

It could be said that he fell into a trap with his words, so if he wanted someone to blame, he could only blame himself. Their distance was practically covered in an instant, as they guessed.

However, their eyes turned wide as they saw something incredible.

The outer disciple's hand flew in an arc and struck right on the cheek of his opponent.

*Pow!~*

The inner disciple came like the wind but flew away like a kite that its strings cut, spinning around in circles before he crashed into the ground and rolled miserably before coming to a stop.

"…"

People that he would angrily wake up but no, that didn't happen. He was still like a corpse, but his aura was still alive.

It meant that he had become unconscious.

With that becoming clear, everyone couldn't help but turn to look at the outer disciple in shock.

"Ahh…!" Davis held his right palm in pain before he pointed at that unconscious inner disciple, "That's for wasting my precious time, you brick-faced idiot. When facing me, you should've just forgotten about the so-called unspoken rules. Next, where are the core disciples? Do they want a resounding slap as well? Step up whoever it is that wants to block my path!"

For a few moments, Davis's voice resounded like thunder throughout the Proving Grounds, garnering attention from not only the battle stages but all directions.

Many core disciples who were just playfully hanging around as this was the first time in the main sect, playfully bullying some junior sisters, couldn't help but turn their heads towards the center, their eyes gleaming in a cold light.

Was this a direct challenge to them?
