“Who are you?” Jared asked.
“I am the elder of Archaic Body cultivators. What brings a young intruder like you to my residence? Are you here to steal my techniques and treasures?” the elderly man interrogated Jared.
“Sir, I ended up here by accident, and I have no intention of stealing your treasures and techniques. This is all just a misunderstanding. In any case, I'll be off now...” Jared stated and turned to leave.
“Wait! I can see that you possess exceptional potential. I'd like to offer you the opportunity to become my disciple. If you're willing to accept, I'll provide you with all these techniques, secret scrolls, and treasures. Furthermore, I'll pass down my entire legacy to you. What do you say?” The elderly man halted Jared's departure and expressed his desire to take the young man as his disciple.
“I'm sorry, but I have no plan to take on a master at the moment...” Jared replied as he continued to head toward the exit.
“Are you looking down on me?” the elderly man asked angrily.
Jared smiled faintly and said, “Indeed, I do have some reservations. Considering your current strength, I don't think you can teach me much.”
“You ignorant brat! How dare you doubt my abilities?” the elderly man thundered.
“I'm not doubting you, Sir. I simply have little respect for you...” Jared replied, and suddenly, his Dragonslayer Sword appeared in his hand.
The icy-cold blade of the sword was aimed straight at the elderly man.
Upon seeing this, the elderly man furrowed his brow and asked, “How do you still possess a weapon?”
Jared scoffed, “Why can't I have a weapon?”
“You, young man, have no respect for your elders, and your character leaves much to be desired. You simply don't meet my standards. Go on, then. Leave...” The elderly man stepped aside, urging Jared to depart quickly.
However, Jared simply wore a faint smirk and showed no intention of leaving.
“Sir, I've changed my mind. I don't wish to leave anymore. I'd like to engage in a sparring session with you,” he said icily.
