"What an arrogant man, this Xia Liang. So young, yet so presumptuous," said Yuan Daozi. "Since that's the case, I won't hold back. I invited you here today to challenge you to a magical duel! If you lose, I want you to get out of Jinling and never come back! Furthermore, you are forbidden from ever working as a physiognomist again."
The mention of a magical duel instantly excited the other guests. A duel from the legends, something that likely hadn't been seen in decades.
"The duel Yuan Daozi is talking about... it's not going to be like something from the movies, is it?"
"Either way, we've got a show today!"
Xia Liang responded with a faint smile. "And if you lose?"
"If we lose, the Daoist Association is at your disposal!" Yuan Daozi snorted, clearly not entertaining the possibility of defeat, as they had made thorough preparations.
"However," Yuan Daozi paused, "if you want to duel us, you must first prove you are qualified!"
