525 The gauntlet has been thrown down

Lou Cheng was stoked at the hopeful possibility of getting the Wholeness Formula. Then, realizing something was amiss, he typed,

"Is something in the way?"

If not, instead of having "hopeful prospects", they would have already acquired it!

Plus, for them to look for me at such a crucial time, they definitely need me for something!

"Rapid March" replied quickly: "The Wholeness Formula doesn't belong to the Extreme Hadou Sect; Mouko Yamashita happened upon it when he was buying antiques. After a few months of negotiation, he finally agreed to exchanging the Wholeness Formula for the Swordsman Formula. But there's a catch— he wants to challenge you to a match. The match must not be open to the public or have any audiences. Both of you are to delegate a referee. The venue is to be chosen by him, and the time, by you, but it has to be within the next month, or else he wouldn't promise that he wouldn't change his mind."
