章 138: Slap

William's expression remained as cold as ice as he took a determined stance, gripping his sword firmly with both hands, his gaze fixed directly on Atticus.

Every pair of eyes in the hall fixated on the two young combatants as they stood ready to engage in the center of the grand hall. The anticipation and excitement in the room were palpable.

Despite learning of Atticus astonishing feat of defeating 3 expert ranked individuals during the attack on the camp, none of them fully believed that. Doubt and skepticism still lingered among many.

While it was clear that William was far from being able to pose a significant challenge to Atticus, given that he was only at an intermediate rank, this spar would at least provide an opportunity to witness Atticus's abilities in action.
