The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 1997

"That, I'm confident about. Besides, the Divine Void Heavenly Path comes with a handy function. As long as I have that card to play, I believe I can beat Wesley."

Nash raised his eyebrow. His curiosity had been stroked. "What kind of function?"

"Cultivating the Divine Void Heavenly Path not only increases the potency and reserve of my true energy but it also gives me a preliminary grasp of the laws of space because the Path itself contains the laws of space," explained Fane patiently.

"Laws of space?" This was the first time Nash had heard of this term. He could understand the meaning based on the words themselves but did not have a physical experience of it.

Fane sipped his tea and said, "As I’ve mentioned, I only have a preliminary grasp of it. I'll show you what I mean once I've got a complete grasp of it."

Nash nodded his head, still not convinced Fane would be all right in the battle with Wesley. He sighed lightly and said, "I know you know your own strengths the best but I must say this, sometimes the difference in cultivation level could not be crossed at all. If Wesley is one level higher than you, then he is one level higher than you. Even if your technique is higher than his, it doesn’t make you stronger than him."

Fane nodded. He knew this more clearly than anyone else. "I know, I know. Having a high cultivation level is like having a high-end engine. The better and bigger the engine is, the more fuel it can hold and thus the more energy it can give out. No one is denying Wesley is at a higher cultivation level than mine, but you'll soon find out which of us is the stronger one and which of us is the weaker one."

Nash raised his brow and in a confused tone asked, "Isn't the fight two weeks away? Why do you say I'll soon find out?"

Fane lowered his eyes and wiped out all the emotions from his face. He gently put the teacup back on the table and in a calmed tone said, "Two weeks is too long for me. Wesley will be going against Dale Woodward tomorrow and I'll be there to observe the fight. Besides...”

The next morning, a throng of disciples had already gathered around the wager battle arena. The news of the fight had spread all around the Pavilion and the fact that the two fighters were both in the top two hundred rankings made it a fight not to be missed. Moreover, the two of them had a short cultivation time. In the future, they were likely to become the top ten informal disciples and then be promoted to become formal disciples and their career will skyrocket from there.

The wager battle arena was located on the easternmost side of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. This was a huge open space specially designated for the wager battle arena. There were no buildings there apart from the seven huge battle platforms which were specially built with formations.

The wager battle arena was divided into two parts, one was the seven battle platforms located in the center, and the other was the viewing platform surrounding the battle platforms. The viewing platform was filled with countless seats and at this time, half of the seats were already occupied.

Except for the chosen disciples, the other disciples must come to the wager battle arena every month to fight. If circumstances disallowed them to attend or if they were in a retreat practice then the fights would be postponed until such time they were ready to fight. It was a guarantee that the seats would be full if there were any fighters from the top three hundred rankings or if someone of celebrity status was fighting in the wager battle arena.
