Chapter 32 Conflict_1

After merely three moves, the old man backed off with a laugh and gestured dismissively, "You needn't continue demonstrating, a scrape from your massive blade would do serious harm.

"Pei Ye. I dwell in Feng Huai, at the Third Level in the Art of Sword. My skill lies in swordsmanship." Pei Ye replied, his fist in his palm as a sign of respect.

"Hmm, the Third Level, eh?" the old man chuckled, "To be honest, there's no need for you to spend money on this. We require one to be at least at the Third Level to enroll, as what we teach is most beneficial to those above this level."
