*Bang*
A sound of a gunshot reverberated in the surroundings for the tenth time while Allen was holding a screaming raccoon in his hand, lifting it up, not letting it escape.
The bullet escaped from the semi-automatic pistol pierced its forehead and ended its life.
As soon as it died, Allen threw it away, not paying attention to it any longer and then, went into scanning his surroundings again to find the next set of beasts for his master to hunt down. Because of deaths and huge sounds, the beasts nearby had long escaped.
"Uhh… only three. She's as unlucky as me?" Mark couldn't help but take another glimpse at Lin Xue and look at her in pity after reading the notification on the holographic screen.
"Why do I feel like he's planning something vicious? Was this greedy fellow is going to ask for more gold coins as a wager?" Lin Xue thought in her mind when her eyes met Mark's stare.
"Absorb." Mark then mumbled slowly in a low tone. He chose one point. The ring on his index finger started to glow.
He waited until the notification is heard and then, finally opened his mouth, "I agree to your challenge but only if change the wager. Instead of 100 gold coins, you have to buy weapons worth 200 gold coins. As for what type of weapons, they will be decided by me."
"Buy weapons?" Lin Xue's facial expression immediately changed for a moment. "I knew it. This guy is indeed greedy but why sell weapons when he can get them for free? It's even weirder how this guy emphasized that the selection of weapons won't be my choice too. Does he want to dump low-quality products?"
When she thought about it deeply, she only got a headache but she couldn't guess his intentions. Lin Xue decided not to think much as 100 gold coins or 200 gold coins, both are the same to her.
In the end, she agreed to his condition as for her, sleeping in peace is very important.
And that can't be achieved unless she beats him through swordsmanship.
"Okay, let's get to it?" Lin Xue turned around and was about to walk away.
"Wait." Mark stopped her before she gets out of the range. "I'm not finished yet."

As she turned around with a frown on her face, Mark spoke, "This is only my first condition.
My second condition is that there should be a time limit. I can't let my only employee spend his time sparring with you when I have a store to take care of."
"Fine, ten minutes, it is." Lin Xue felt it reasonable and was also confident in defeating him within that time. "I will accept defeat if he still stays conscious but he can't also run away to spend the time. So, I'm proposing an additional rule that neither of us can't get away more than ten meters from your store."
Mark never planned on doing that. So, he readily agreed to it and turned towards the Android while handing the gold-grade heavy sword. "Allen, no killing, no skills, and not giving a permanent injury, Understand?"
Allen saluted him as he took the sword, "Roger, Big Brother."
Both of them walked outside.
There's already a small crowd gathered outside as some of them recognized Lin Xue earlier and word spread in such a neighborhood very fast.
Allen was ready with her sword and Mark took out the old pocket watch that he had with him since childhood.
As the Lin clan heiress also took a gold grade sword from her storage ring, Mark who was standing at the entrance of the store spoke, "The time is now 7:21. The duel starts at 7:22 and ends at 7:32."
"Hmm?" Yao Ling's attention was stolen by the golden pocket watch for a moment. Staring at the serpent drawn around the clock dial, he thought, "I think I have seen this somewhere, probably in a clock store."
Meanwhile, Mark then stared at the watch. Nearly twenty seconds later, he announced, "let the duel begin."
Lin Xue didn't waste any time to charge forward this time, going into offense. Allen might not know sword techniques like her, but his analytic ability is off the charts and his reaction speed is almost equal to that of a six-circle realm expert.

Naturally, he was fast enough to dodge and counterattack. Due to her extraordinary reflexes, Lin Xue managed to dodge his counterattacks but every time, she tried to evade the attack, the blade gets slightly brushed off her skin, creating a small scratch.
After three minutes, Lin Xue's arms could be seen bleeding with a lot of scratches here and there and she started to lose her strength in her arms due to pain.
