Ethan looked at the description and rewards dozens of times.
It was, indeed, difficult.
A fair duel meant it had to be one-on-one, with both at the peak of their power, without any internal injuries or curses to weaken them.
That in itself wasn't too shocking. The problem was that the target had to be at least one full stage and five levels above him.
In practical terms, he had to defeat, in a fair duel, an enemy who was more powerful, more experienced, and in peak condition.
