Yuan Chen was actually surprised to see him accepting the challenge so readily.
He knew for a fact that Ye Jun had only recently ascended to the Soul Tempering Realm, whereas he himself was already a consolidated Early-Stage Origin Realm cultivator. That was a full major realm higher than Ye Jun. The disparity in raw Qi volume and density alone was supposed to be an insurmountable wall.
In fact, Yuan Chen had already been prepared to propose certain limitations or match restrictions the moment Ye Jun offered any form of hesitation or rejection. It was only fair.
Still, seeing the calm, unbothered expression on the southern youth's face, Yuan Chen chose to remain silent about any handicaps. If his opponent was truly this confident, then he would simply fight him on equal terms. If it turned out to be nothing more than standard, baseless arrogance, then the upcoming duel would lay that reality bare before the entire city anyway.
