    <span style="font-weight:400">"Big Brother, you win." Keith raised his hand into the air in defeat. He lost the battle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I almost lost as well." Derek smiled. It was a long spar. Neither side wanted to lose.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That was incredible!" Ryan couldn''t help butpliment them. He never expected the two to be able to fight like that. And they were young!


    <span style="font-weight:400">They could only go up from here!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you, Mr. Ryan." The two bowed their heads.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ryan smiled, "There''s no need to thank me. I can tell you guys worked really hard."


    <span style="font-weight:400">He could tell the two worked their butts off to get to this point.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Everyone is here early!" Sarah and Jack walked towards Keith and the rest. The two had gear on as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys should go warm up!" Ryan frowned as he stared at his children.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes." "Mmhmm."


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two of them started to run. While they were doing that, Ryan turned to William,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"William, I have a favor to ask you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can you have Keith spar with Jack?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The spar willst for five minutes! Get to your position." Michael screamed out. Keith and Jack stood across from one another.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith! Good luck!" Sarah and Derek screamed out from the side. Keith smiled at them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Thanks. But Sarah, shouldn''t you be cheering your brother on? This was not part of the script.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jack stared at Keith, "I''ll say this right now. You should quit."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith tilted his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to win."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." So that was why he asked me to do this. Keith understood the reason now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A few minutes prior,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You want me to spar with Jack?" Keith tilted his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ryan nodded, "I want you to beat him up."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why?" Shouldn''t it be the opposite? Should you tell me to not do so or hold back?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You see. My son hasn''t been taking his training too seriously. And that''s because he had beaten everyone in his age group. He thinks he''s the most talented person in the world. I want you to beat him. Show him the world." Ryan exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Are you serious?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith was surprised that Jack would think like that. He thought Ryan was joking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">He''s right. Keith couldn''t believe this guy would be this confident. He sighed as he raised his sword into the air. Jack did the same.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Start!" Michael roared out. And like that, Jack made the first move as he dashed towards Keith!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Take this!" Jack shed his sword downwards!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Shing!


    <span style="font-weight:400">But Keith blocked it with his sword. He used one hand to do it as well! Jack''s expression turned nk when this happened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then take this!" Keith quickly blocked the blow again! Keith continued to block the blows like they were nothing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was a surprise to see that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith wasn''t doing anything. He stood there and took Jack''s blow. William and the rest watched the situation,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith should end it. It''s getting boring." Derek shook his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sarah tilted her head, "Isn''t Keith on the losing end?" From how she saw it, Keith was only defending against Jack''s attacks.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No, Sarah. Keith isn''t on the defensive. He''s not even trying." William stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Figures. A person of his caliber won''t make the kid take it seriously." Michael stated with a calm expression.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ryan exined to his daughter, "Sarah, look at what Keith is doing? He''s precisely moving his sword to block all of Jack''s attacks. Keith''s using as little movement as possible. It shows how much control he has. But Jack continues to attack him with all his force."


    <span style="font-weight:400">The difference in skill was clear. Keith was a couple of notches higher than Jack.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ryan asked William, "What did you guys do to him to get him to this level?" This was surprising.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He doubted Keith would lose to the best knights he had.


    <span style="font-weight:400">William turned to Michael, "What did you do?" Michael was the one who trained Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I sparred with the kid every single day," Michael answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." "..." William and Ryan had nothing to say. Michael was a monster. And the kid fought with him every day!


    <span style="font-weight:400">No wonder he was so strong!


    <span style="font-weight:400">They turned back to the match. Keith was going to destroy Jack.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The only question was when!


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you only going to defend?!" Jack roared. His expression finally snapped. Keith was only defending and not doing anything else. It was making him angry.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m waiting for you to finish," Keith answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I haven''t given it my all! You''re looking at the next sword saint!" Jack roared as he continued to attack Keith. But Keith continued to block them effortlessly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think this is enough." Keith didn''t hesitate to swing his sword! That was his first draw.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And it was hisst. Keith had his sword raised at Jack''s neck.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You lost."
