Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Humiliation
The Grandmaster acted, striking with lightning speed!
Though Hendrick Kensington was a Young Master, this punch, if it landed squarely on the opponent’s face,
Arturo would be reduced to nothing but bones!
A Grandmaster must not be humiliated!
Daring to mock and ridicule him, today, even if the princess of The North Sea begged for mercy, the man before him must die!
He wanted to prove to everyone just how strong he really was!
Bang!
Confronted with this unforeseen thunderous strike, Arturo retreated explosively, his spear instantly crossing in front of him!
"Hmm?"
The strike had missed, and shock tinged Hendrick Kensington’s heart.
According to his expectations, that punch would have left the opponent a pile of bones.
And he could have scorned The North Sea to his heart’s content.
But now,
It seemed the opponent was also a Grandmaster.
Otherwise, there was no way he could have dodged his attack.
"Young man, you’re quite arrogant!"
Crack!
Arturo fiercely planted his spear into the ground, slowly beginning to remove his battle armor.
"What are you doing?"
Hendrick Kensington asked indifferently.
Even if he was somewhat shocked, he wouldn’t show it.
To outsiders, he appeared calm.
"Removing armor,"
Arturo said as he tore off his battle armor and removed his silver helmet, handing it to a soldier beside him: "So you can’t claim I had an unfair advantage."
Now, he was left in nothing but a white robe.
"Come."
"Alright!"
Hendrick Kensington turned around, looked down at the phoenix-robed woman and declared condescendingly, "Princess, your servant lacks respect for rank, I shall discipline him for you! If I accidentally kill him, I hope for your forgiveness."
His words were brimming with boundless arrogance!
"No matter,"
The phoenix-robed woman nodded slightly and extended her hand, "Go easy."
Such a response unexpectedly surprised Hendrick Kensington.
He had thought she would plead with him to stop, but her attitude now carried a hint of scorn.
Anger!
Fury blazed within Hendrick Kensington’s heart.
He turned back around, his fists clenched tightly.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent!
"I achieved fame at a young age, today is just the day to see what esteemed masters The North Sea has to offer!"
As he spoke, he charged forward!
In the woods, he left behind a shadowy afterimage!
Although it was early spring, the autumn leaves still lingered in the forest, not yet decomposed.
Hendrick Kensington’s speed was so great, it caused these leaves to rise into the air and scatter.
In an instant,
The dark forest was ravaged by violent winds!
A silhouette, sharp like a sword, charged toward Arturo amidst the tornado!
The soldiers conscientiously stepped back, watching the duel with cold eyes.
"Dare to insult a Grandmaster, today I shall kill you!"
Hendrick Kensington roared lowly, his fists gleaming with golden light, heading straight for Arturo!
The tornado grew stronger.
Everywhere it passed, even the ground was left with a deep pit!
Dust billowed into the sky!
Arturo’s hair flew wildly, but he was completely unafraid!
He laughed heartily, his hands violently lifting from the ground!
Boom!
From beneath his feet as the center, the forest detonated with waves of energy!
Surprised, Hendrick Kensington hastily adjusted his posture!
But in that brief moment, Arturo charged forward, his palm striking down!
Bang!
Hendrick Kensington frantically defended himself, only to be smacked on the shoulder and sent flying backward.
Those pure eyes took on a tinge of injury and disbelief.
"You... you actually..."
In the dark forest, Hendrick Kensington clutched his shoulder, his eyes full of shock.
The opponent had managed to force him back with a single move?
He was embarrassed!
Humiliated!
All his pride and dignity were trampled into dust in that moment.
Revenge was the only voice in his heart.
Hendrick Kensington turned back to look at the three ladies behind him, his eyes blood-red.
"Again!"
He stood up, his punch shattering an oak tree, holding it up with one hand!
"Ah!"
In Hendrick Kensington’s hands, the poplar tree, which was as heavy as a several-jin weapon, crazily spun!
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a sharp sound ripping through the air, the nearly one-meter-diameter poplar tree suddenly flew out of his hand, heading straight for Arturo!
Crack!
Facing the ten-plus-meter-long poplar tree hurtling toward him, Arturo’s face tensed with bulging veins!
He turned his hands into palms and, instead of retreating, advanced!
He actually split the poplar tree right down the middle!
Crackle and pop!
The forest echoed with the sound of wood being split apart.
Arturo was like a human chainsaw, unstoppable!
The next moment.
He appeared in front of Hendrick Kensington.
Eyes locked on each other!
Bang!
The most direct exchange of punches.
Hendrick Kensington, like a kite with its string cut, was sent flying backward.
His body slammed heavily into a poplar tree.
That poplar tree slowly tilted and snapped in half from the point of impact!
The force, one could well imagine.
"Kid, are you still feeling cocky?"
Arturo wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and strode over.
He was a Grandmaster too!
And he had become famous earlier than Hendrick Kensington, and his strength was much greater!
Otherwise, in the talent-rich North Sea, how could he have secured the position of the Town North King and control the elite forces?
Before the restoration of the kingdom, the Town North King was the highest military rank in the North Sea!
Below one person, above ten thousand!
"Stop!"
Just as the two were less than three meters apart, Elder Victor soared into the air and stood between them.
"That’s enough. Tonight is merely a friendly contest between the North Sea’s prince consort and the Town North King. Both of you Grandmasters are experts and pillars of the North Sea!"
Having said that, Elder Victor turned around, producing a medicinal pill in his hand: "This is the best healing pill from Medicine King Valley. The princess asked me to deliver it to Mr. Kensington and to apologize for the Town North King’s excessive use of force."
"Hiss..."
Hendrick Kensington’s expression wildly changed.
Humiliation!
This was humiliation!
But the problem was, he even couldn’t beat the man before him.
Ever since he became a Grandmaster, or perhaps since he entered Mount Shu,
this was the first time he had faced such a loss of face and ridicule!
He was not content!
But he had no way out.
In the world of martial arts, fists are the ultimate argument!
He could use his sect to pressure others!
But that would undoubtedly make him the laughingstock of the world!
Mocking him, Hendrick Kensington, for his incompetence!
"Thanks for the princess’s kindness!"
Hendrick Kensington violently got to his feet, snatched the pill, and glared at Arturo with hatred: "I am enlightened!"
"Hmm."
Arturo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes full of disdain.
He thought about Hendrick Kensington returning to his villa in anger, trashing the expensive furniture he had bought, pouring himself a glass of bulk Maotai, crying as he asked the chef to make some signature dishes, and then, drunk, calling his master to sob about being beaten up that day.
Arturo gave a faint smile.
The world of experts was just so plain and boring.
"We shall meet again!"
Now, Hendrick Kensington could only swallow the broken teeth down into his stomach!
After all, he had struck the first blow.
"Princess, I have matters at home tomorrow, and must take my leave!"
He turned, bowed slightly, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
A moment later, the roar of a sports car echoed.
The sound grew fainter and eventually vanished.
"Is that it?"
Arturo stretched his arm out, and soldiers immediately rushed up to help him don his armor.
"Behind him is Mount Shu."
The maid suddenly spoke: "We need Mount Shu to stand against the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance."
"Princess!"
Thump!
The woman in the phoenix robe quickly knelt down, her voice trembling.
She lay prone at the maid’s feet, pressing her head firmly into the dirt.
"It has nothing to do with you, get up."
The maid spoke with an air of commanding the world, then walked straight to the Town North King: "Hold your troops, and watch Ghost Valley’s move."
"Understood!"
Arturo clenched his fists and responded in a deep voice.
