Say you are one of the most famous fighters in wulin. At some 'Heroes Gathering', you get involved in some dispute with some pompous Sect and it comes to a point where it is suggested that a challenge is needed to settle the argument.
Would you be pissed off at someone if they suggested that it is an insult to _you_ if they fought you one-on-one since they are Junior/Inferior to you?
Assume of course that the Challengers are not total scrubs so when banded together, they do have a good chance of beating you. e.g. HYS vs 7 QZ, XF vs 5 Xuan Monks.
If it was a bunch of random scrubs there wouldn't even be time to feel angry since I would be gleefully kicking their collective rear-ends out the front door of Shaolin/Ju Xian Zhuang/Wu Dang/Hua Shan/Tian Long Shi etc etc.
