Chapter 920: Bicker Over Fair Spar
After hearing Valefor's furious shout outside the mountain cave, Vaan smiled before flying out through the newly formed hole.
In this world, he didn't have any male friends. If they weren't acquaintances or subordinates, then they had to be enemies or strangers.
Valefor was the only one who he could consider to be the closest to a true friend, someone he could trust unconditionally. He might be ruthless, cold, and vindictive, but he was also straightforward and true to himself.
He wasn't someone who would try to measure another person's worth when trying to befriend them.
Nevertheless, in reality, it was difficult not to consider another person's worth when befriending them in this world.
After all, if the status between two people were too far apart, they would never be able to treat each other as equals.
The weaker side would always consider their choice of words and actions carefully when interacting with the stronger side, even if the latter didn't look down on them and wanted to treat them as a true friend.
Any form of friendship between them would be superficial at best, not a true friendship. Nevertheless, it was because of Vaan's heavy destiny and rapid growth that he couldn't find people of similar status to befriend. Even if he wanted a male friend, it wasn't possible-at least not on Pangea or Gehenna.
As such, Valefor was the only one closest to being his true friend.
The only thing stopping them from actually becoming true friends was that they were ultimately one and the same person.
That said, if Valefor knew how Vaan treated him was because he wanted to view him as a friend, he definitely wouldn't want to become his friend.Nôv(el)B\jnn
Vaan's type of friendship would only shorten his life.
After all, friends were supposed to be nice and helpful to each other, not annoy, anger, and beat each other.
...
After Vaan chased after Valefor and met up with him in the sky, they both stared each other down for a moment.
Although Valefor was caught off guard by Vaan's fist, he was still shocked by his brute strength, which wasn't powered by any energy, law, or aura; it was simply raw physical strength.
How was that the strength of someone who had just stepped into the divine way? Nevertheless, Valefor was able to come to terms with Vaan's heaven-defying battle power. His cultivation method had to be able to do that much to attract heaven's punishment. "Since your strength has increased significantly, you must be itching to test it out and adapt to your new power. That must be why you picked me. I am the best choice for a sparring partner around here," Valefor commented coldly.
He was still feeling peeved by Vaan's previous joke to rile him up. As such, he added, "Very well, I will be your sparring partner. However, don't expect me to go easy on you, Other Me."
