"It's not just that, but he's also mute. Don't you all feel ashamed for bullying him?" Khloris asked.
'Ordinary man? Mute?' Sienna and the other disciples looked at each other, perplexed.
"Deputy Sect Master, you've been blindsided by his appearance. This man isn't mute and he's an expert in sword techniques," Sienna explained, confused and feeling embarrassed.
She felt frustrated and ashamed when she recalled being defeated by Darryl. However, he was not going to mention that in order to save her reputation.
Immediately, Xhanos, the first to fight Darryl, walked up from the crowd and said, "This man had advanced skills. We've competed with him just now and we were all defeated."
He was smart and did mention that Sienna lost.
The other disciples nodded.
'What?' Khloris' heart trembled as she looked at Darryl in disbelief. 'Dart is not a mute? And defeated these disciples in a sword fight?'
Those were elite disciples among the Sword Sect. It was unbelievable that Dart defeated them.
"Is that true?" Khloris asked Darryl.
Darryl silently breathed out and scratched his head as he chuckled. "Yes, I was badly injured and that's why I couldn't speak. Since I've been resting for a day, I've recovered. Plus, I made a bet with these disciples and luckily I won a few rounds."
He looked humble and not as composed as before. As a matter of fact, He did not want to act so cautiously, but he had no choice as he was not willing to expose his identity. He had to remain discreet in front of Khloris. After all, Khloris was the Deputy Sect Master. Be it experience in cultivating or powers, she was far better than all the disciples.
Hearing that, Khloris' eyes brightened up and pondered.
Meanwhile, Olive could not suppress her excitement and ran to whisper into Khloris' ears, "Dart was so awesome. Sienna showcased the Spirit Snake Slash but Darryl was able to fight her."
