The Dou Sect Master obviously did not expect Lin Fei to be so cowardly. As soon as he said no, it was a no. He initially thought Lin Fei would accept the challenge without hesitation, but Lin Fei once again refreshed the Dou Sect Master's understanding of him and further lowered his impression in the eyes of the Master.
Lin Fei's initial display of a tenacious character and his quality of never giving up had always been valued by the Dou Sect Master. After all, while being a genius is very important, the hard work that follows is even more so. The Master has lived for around five hundred years and has seen countless geniuses.
However, many geniuses he has seen have been surpassed by individuals often regarded as fools by others. Therefore, the Dou Sect Master values not Lin Fei's talent, but his resolute and unyielding nature.
