Bab 390: I want to turn you into a novice cultivator that's stronger than royals

"Are you really sure about it?" Levi asked, unable to look me directly in the eyes. "I mean, I can't guarantee I will be able to hold back properly!" he said in a pleading voice. 

"We are cultivators," I said, looking at Levi with a calm expression on my own face. "We are supposed to go against the will of the heavens and yet you cover away from a friendly spar?" I baited my former master a little. 

"You little..." Levi's face tensed up. "It's you who I'm worried about!" 

"Why claim I'm stronger than you, then?" I said with a grin, putting Levi's own words against him. "But to be honest, this duel has a lot more meaning to me than just a friendly spar," I added. 

Levi looked deeply into my eyes. He turned silent for a second, wasting several breaths while gazing into my soul like some sort of a lover.
