Chapter 2320 Obstinance
It was Shaun and his men.
They were ranked on the Provisional Leaderboard and were a few places away from the Divine Leaderboard.
They weren’t talented enough to make it into the Divine Leaderboard though they had the crash course.
One could easily rank in the Divine Leaderboard with the necessary techniques.
But now, they had arrived to gloat in front of Levi.
“Levi, I heard you refuse to practice the technique book. We’re here to thank you. If you hadn’t given up, we wouldn’t have grown this much. We’re about to enter the Divine Leaderboard soon!”
“Look, you’re ranked thousandth on the Provisional Leaderboard. You’re no match for us, let alone Zoey. Are you still going to battle her?”
The Lopez and Black families sneered in disdain.
Azure Dragon and the rest said nothing, for they were right.
Zoey was as strong as the strongest fighter among them, let alone Levi.
In fact, it was safe to say that they were worlds apart now!
The three-month challenge was nothing but a joke.
Right then, Aaron and his wife appeared.
Both of their achievements came as a big surprise, for they used to be ordinary people but ended up as fighters ranked on the Divine Leaderboard!
They were now the most respected fighters in the Lopez and Black families.
Upon their arrival, Shaun and the rest parted to make way for them.
They both came to a stop before Levi. After giving him the once-over, they sighed in unison.
“Levi, you’re really weak now. We won’t compare you to Evie or Zoey. Just look at us. Don’t you realize the stark difference between us and you?” Aaron declared. “You used to be the strongest fighter around. Why are you stuck in the past, remaining stagnant? There are plenty of ways to increase your power, but you refused to practice them and instead stuck to the stuff from the past!”
His mother-in-law chimed in, “That’s right. There are countless techniques for you to improve yourself. Look, we’re now ranked on the Divine Leaderboard after practicing the techniques! You’re talented enough to do it. Besides, Zoey told us how you could combine thousands of techniques into one, making it one of the kind. Why don’t you give it a try?”
She was patient enough to try to convince him to change his mind.
Aaron snorted. “Levi, you’re too proud to practice the techniques your disciples and subordinates offer, right? Wake up, for this is the era where the fittest survives. Your dignity is worth nothing. Strength trumps everything else! It’s the only way for you to survive. Go and train now! Take all the technique books with you. It might be impossible for you to exceed Zoey’s strength, but at least you can minimize the gap between you both!”
Both Aaron and his wife reasoned with Levi.
Besides being his elders, they were strong enough to do so.
The corners of Levi’s lips curled into a smile. “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I have my own way. Zoey has to show me respect. She can’t possibly exceed me!”
“How stubborn of you!”
“It’s like talking to a wall!”
“Yes! Everyone kept saying that elderly people like us are stubborn and strait-laced, but you’re the most stubborn and strait-laced person I’ve ever seen! Since you insist on training your old techniques, go head. The difference between you and Zoey will grow bigger as time tick past! Let’s see who will get humiliated when the three-month period is up!”
Both of them left in a huff.
Instead of yelling at Levi, Zoey kept encouraging him. She knew it wasn’t the time to persuade him to change his mind.
Alas, he refused to listen to her words.
The only way was to make him realize the gap between them after three months so he could catch up.
“Levi, I shall wait for the end of the three-month period to arrive!”
