"I'm better than you in fighting skills. There's no doubt about that. But your spiritual sense attacks are weird. I have to admit that they are terrifyingly powerful. To be honest I'm weak in terms of spiritual sense so I'm no match for you in that aspect. Besides, you can use y your avatar at the demon emperor level. I don't think I can defeat you in that.
Since I'm already among the top three, I don't mind you taking the first place." Then he turned around and stepped out of the battle ring.
