The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor - Chapter 1939
“For example, the stronger of the two might be able to light up the third light for six seconds while
the weaker of the two can only do it for four seconds. Do you all understand now?” The crowd
grasped the simple explanation at once—the obsidian has the ability to measure energy! After
knowing of its ability, Fane Woods became more curious about the obsidian. He wondered how it
was created for it to have the ability to accurately measure energy to such a degree.
Zeph did not immediately announce the start of the test but purposely gave the participants some
time to discuss amongst themselves. All the crowd’s attention was focused on the two strongest
men amongst them.

Naturally, Morton chose this very moment to stroke his ego. He glanced sideways at Gerald and
said in a haughty voice, “Seems like they specially created this standard so the crowd can find out
exactly how much stronger I am compared to you.”
Gerald gave out a loud snort, having a view that Morton was nothing but a clown. He did not even
turn to look at Morton when he said, “Do you know how many times you’ve praised yourself since
coming here? Who the heck does that? Why don’t you prove how strong you really are with your
actions instead of your words?
Morton’s face turned purple with rage. He was grinding his teeth as if he wanted to chomp down on
Gerald’s flesh. “All I’m saying is, I’m much stronger than you. Don’t even for a second believe you’re
my equal after our previous battle ended in a draw. You’ll never surpass me in this lifetime and will
forever be underneath me!”
Morton hated when somebody compares his power with Gerald’s, saying they were of equal ability.
Words could not describe how much he despise that feeling. From beginning to end, he felt that he
was a lot stronger than Gerald and that the fight between them came to a draw because Gerald had
the advantage of being younger.
Gerald rolled his eyes at Morton. “As I’ve said, prove it with your actions and stop with your
womanly nagging.”
The crowd tried to stifle their laughter when they heard this. Due to Morton’s status, they dared not
laugh loudly but the sound of snickering could be heard coming from the people there. This caused
the veins on Morton’s forehead to burst. The fan that he was holding as a sign of his refinement
started to suffer under his tightening grip.
“Just you wait. I’ll not let this matter slide easily. Don’t forget the second place winner will only get
ten contribution points while I still have the sengen pill and other tricks up my sleeves. Once I take
the sengen pill, my power will increase tremendously and you will never be able to beat me then!”
said Morton.
Gerald rolled his eyes once again. “You make it sound as if you’ll definitely get first place while I
second. Well, don’t you forget that the first place belongs to me! Besides, you might not even get
the second place if a dark horse appears.”
The two men stared daggers at each other and wished they could start a battle there and then.
However, they clearly knew none of them would be the first to deal out the first strike but it did not
stop them from peppering each other with derisive insults.
