"Sparring? With you?"
Xu Tao asked, taken aback by the sudden challenge. "Can it be later? I'm really tired right now…"
After breaking past the Lower Cultivation Realm and reaching the Soul Severance Stage, a cultivator normally doesn't need sleep anymore. Their body and mind can perform at their optimal form at any moment starting from that stage onward.
But now, Xu Tao was only at the Golden Core Stage, still three whole realms away from it. Thus, he couldn't help it if his body pestered him for some sleep.
Waving a hand dismissively, he tried to walk away, heading toward the castle, but...
"Hah! You're just afraid of losing to my Lord Achilles, right?!"
"…."
One of the ten men behind Achilles called out, mocking him.
Of course, it's not like he couldn't let such a minor verbal slight go. However, right now, Xu Tao was mentally tired… In short, he couldn't think straight, and ended up giving a damn.
