"You dare belittle this dojo’s grandmaster!!? It seems like you–" Morris suddenly said with a furious look on his face before Jeremy suddenly cut him short by stretching out his hand in front of him.

"That’s enough Morris, let me handle him" Jeremy eventually said with a grim look on his face. When Morris saw this expression, he significantly calmed down as he replied.

"As you wish grandmaster"

"Ok enough with the chit chat, why don’t you come over here so as we can get this over with" Hutton suddenly spoke up in an apathetic manner.

"You will regret underestimating me" Jeremy said solemnly as he stepped forward while Morris stepped back as he gave Hutton deadly stare.

But Hutton wasn’t even fazed by Morris facial expressions nor what Jeremy said as he just kept an indifferent look on his face.

"Go easy on him. I don’t want his father to hold a grudge against us" Bob suddenly whispered to Hutton in a calm manner before he also took couple of steps back away from Hutton.

"Got it" Hutton said in calm manner as he put his two hands behind him. When Jeremy saw this, a trigger suddenly pulled within him as his facial expressions twitch a little.

’Am going to cripple this bastard’ Jeremy thought evily as he entered a battle stance while saying in an indifferent manner.

"Am coming"

’I think I should make him think he has hope in winning’ But right before Jeremy moved, Hutton had a lightning fast thought which made him to smile in a strange and creepy way.

And so, Jeremy, with decades of experience etched into his every move, stood poised and confident. Hutton, though young, exuded a quiet determination, his Core formation stage prowess concealed in the aura around him.

And right in an instance, their spar began as Jeremy’s moves were fluid, his strikes calculated. But Hutton matched him, each blow met with skill and resilience.

Slap!!

As the battle raged on, Hutton’s movements became more fluid, more instinctual. His strikes grew sharper, his defenses impenetrable. With a swift motion, he landed a powerful slap across Jeremy’s cheek, the sound echoing in the room.

"Grandmaster!!" Morris exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face as he watched Jeremy held on to his cheek he got slapped on in disbelief

"Do you still want to continue?" Hutton asked with a calm expression on his face. But when Jeremy heard him, he suddenly grew furious as he exclaimed.

"Am not done yet!!"

Right at that moment, Jeremy unexpectedly vanished from where he stood.

’A forbidden move?’ Hutton thought with a stunned look on his face. It seems like Jeremy took notice of Hutton being stunned as right in the precise moment, Jeremy launched his attack.

Slap!!!!

However, Hutton’s senses were keen, honed through years of training and discipline. With a calm and measured response, he sidestepped Jeremy’s attack, effortlessly evading the ambush. In one fluid motion, Hutton’s hand met Jeremy’s cheek in a precise yet firm slap.

The room fell silent as Jeremy recoiled from the unexpected counter. His eyes widened in astonishment as he realized his failed attempt to catch Hutton off guard. In that moment, it was clear that age and experience had been outmatched by youthful composure and sharp instincts.

"You lose" Hutton said with an indifferent look on his face as he gazed down on Jeremy who was still on the floor.

’How is he so strong?’ Both Jeremy and Morris thought with a shocked look on their faces. But that expression didn’t last long on Jeremy’s face as it quickly changed into unwillingness while he yelled with him trying to rise up to his two feets.

"I said it’s not over yet!!"

"That’s enough Jeremy!! Aren’t you ashamed of being played with by this young kid continuously?" But right before Jeremy could be stable on his two feets, he suddenly heard a harsh voice in the surroundings.

’He’s here’ Bob thought as a lighte smile appeared on his face. As for Hutton, his guard was instantly raised to the peak as he exclaimed vigilantly.

"Who’s there!!?"

"Relax kid, am that punks father" the voice rang out more clearly again as a man suddenly appearred right in middle of Jeremy and Hutton. When both Jeremy and Morris saw this man, their expression became grave as they spoke up in unison.

"Dad"

"Venerable"

This man that just appeared carries an air of serene wisdom that belies his youthful countenance. Despite his advanced age, his face retains a strikingly smooth and unlined complexion, almost as if time itself has chosen to bypass him. His eyes, though aged with the depth of centuries, gleam with a youthful vitality and a glint of otherworldly knowledge that seems to pierce through the veil of reality.

His hair, though tinged with streaks of silver, cascades down in waves of lustrous strands that defy the usual signs of aging. Each movement he makes exudes a grace and agility that would befit a much younger man, yet beneath the surface lies the quiet strength of a soul tempered by the passage of time and countless lifetimes.

His attire, though simple, speaks of refinement and understated elegance. He wears robes of flowing silk in muted hues, adorned with intricate patterns that hint at a life steeped in tradition and esoteric knowledge.

Around his neck hangs a pendant of ancient design, its intricate symbols whispering of arcane secrets and forgotten lore.Despite his agelessness, there is a sense of groundedness about him, as if he is intimately connected to the rhythms of the natural world and the ebb and flow of life itself. His presence commands respect, yet there is a warmth and gentleness in his demeanor that draws others to him like moths to a flame.

’A Nascent soul stage cultivator’ Hutton thought as he observed the supposedly old man right in front of him in awe.

"Don’t you ever call me your dad!! I feel ashamed just to even know you" The aged man said in a harsh tone as he looked at Jeremy coldly. All Jeremy could do in response was to lower his head in guilt.

"Hmph!" After looking at him for a moment, the aged man made a sound in anger before he shifted his gaze towards Hutton and Bob.

"You must be Hutton Maxwell. I have heard a lot about you from your friend here" The aged man’s mood instantly shifted towards a friendly vibe as he said to Hutton in a friendly manner.

’What a fast mood switch!’ Although Hutton was surprised to how the Nascent soul stage cultivator in front of him is handling things, he still remained calm outwardly as he replied in a respectful manner.

"It’s an honor to meet you Nascent soul Venerable"

"Oh just call me Darlington. It’s rare to see someone this young at the core formation stage at this era" The Nascent soul stage cultivator replied in a light chuckle.

"As you wish Venerable Darlington" Hutton said again in a respectful manner. At this moment, Bob has already stepped forward to stand beside Hutton while he said.

"Now can you help us Venerable Darlington?"

"Of cause. Even if my useless son here won, I would still do it. It has quite been long I have stretched this my old bones a little" Darlington replied with am excited look on his face.

"Dad!!?" Jeremy suddenly exclaimed with a pained look on his face right after he is stable on his two feet.

"Will you shut up useless son!!?" Darlington suddenly flared up in anger while he replied to Jeremy as he suddenly sent out a resounding whoosh like air wave which struck Jeremy square in the chest, lifting him off his feet and hurtling him across the room like a ragdoll.

His body spun through the air, a testament to the overwhelming force behind Darlington’s strike.With a thunderous crash, Jeremy slammed into the wall, the impact echoing through the chamber. Dust and debris filled the air as he slowly picked himself up, shaking off the effects of the devastating blow.

"Grandmaster!! Please forgive him Venerable, he didn’t know what he was doing" Morris pleaded with an apologetic look on his face.

’Is this how he treats his own son? Scary..’ Hutton thought as cold sweat slowly began to appear at his back.

"Well then makes sure he doesn’t do this next time or else it won’t be a nice experience for him if I flare up" Darlington said in a indifferent tone before he shifted his gaze towards Hutton again.

"Sorry for witnessing this embarrassing moment, my son can be rebellious at times" Darlington suddenly said with a light smile on his face. But when Hutton and Bob saw this expression, they involuntarily shuddered in unison as they both thought of one word.

’Scary...’

But Darlington didn’t know what was in their minds as he asked right after with the light smile still on his face.

"So for how long will I keep those bastards at bay for you?"
