Red Boy was flabbergasted. He had boasted boldly, merely to lure Sha Chen out. Wasn't it normal for a monster to spout fierce words? Yet Sha Chen asked him to take an oath, which was beyond his imagination.
However, he was full of confidence, prideful and conceited. He also knew many eyes were upon him; should he shrink back now, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
This wretch is surely trying to embarrass me, hoping I'll back down at the difficulty. Little does he know my strength surpasses others; he is no match for me, he sneered inwardly. He regarded himself highly skilled, with Sha Chen no match for him. Therefore, he was not afraid and agreed to the challenge.
"Fine, I accept your terms, but you have no chance of winning," he said.
Sha Chen scoffed, "First, make your vow."
