894 Martial Arts Way Realm (1/2)
As time passed, Heng Xiangguang felt more and more unable to oppress Mo Wen. He gradually grew anxious.
At first, he had expected to defeat Mo Wen easily. He had the upper hand throughout the entire battle. Yet, at this moment, the certainty he had felt grew more and more distant. He even had a niggling thought that he would be unable to defeat Mo Wen no matter what.
”Such a startling change has happened to him in just one battle!” Sword Addict White Dust's expression was grave as he stared at Mo Wen. He could sense that Mo Wen was getting stronger and stronger and that he was constantly growing. This strength was not that of cultivation but one that happened to his internal quality., For example, as a young person grows older over time, he would eventually become an experienced and wise elder. That was an accumulation of growth made step by step and a process of moving from youth to maturity.
Ordinary people would take their whole lives to complete this process. However, Mo Wen managed to complete all of that during one battle.
What did Mo Wen understand and what did he learn? What kind of metamorphosis had occurred to his soul? No one other than Mo Wen knew. However, it was a martial arts height that not even White Dust was able to touch. He only knew that what Mo Wen had understood and sensed was definitely extraordinary.
”What a terrifying youth! I am now very curious about what extent he can grow to in the future!”
The elder who was surrounded by criminals breathed in deeply. It was undeniable that he was thoroughly shocked by the young man's amazing talent. What seemed impossible had happened right before his eyes.
”He is very talented. If there are no accidents, it will not be a problem for him to become an immortal. However, that is not the only reason for him to be able to take this step.”
A figure appeared by the elder's side silently and without any prior warning. It was as if he had appeared from nowhere. Furthermore, none of the many criminals who surrounded the elder seemed to have noticed him.
The elder's expression stiffened when he realized that a person ] had appeared beside him suddenly. Someone had managed to get so close to him so silently and abruptly. Before he could even react, a familiar aura entered his mind…
”My Lord!”
The elder's body stiffened suddenly, and he stood up hurriedly from the ground and bowed respectfully. He was very reverent and deferential like a slave before his master.
”It was said that someone from the hidden martial arts strain has appeared. Something major has happened, and I could not help it but come and take a look,” the mysterious figure said lightly.
What was odd was that the people around him seemed not to see him. No one noticed him, and they all treated him as if he were air.
The elder knew that his lord did not want anyone to know who he was. As such, the elder did not make a fuss either, and he only lowered his head and waited respectfully.
”I went to the Cold Pool Valley on the way here. I found that the person in the valley was dead. He must have died a few days ago,” the mysterious figure said.
”What! The person at the Cold Pool Valley is dead?” The elder almost yelled in shock. According to their earlier predictions, that man would have been able to live for another 100 years. Why had he died so quickly? He knew what kind of person the man at the Cold Pool Valley was. Other than his lord and a few other men, there was no one else in the entire Heart of the Red Stone Forest who would dare to provoke him.
”According to my observations, the death of that man has something to do with that young man in challenge ring 49. I have found the man's aura on the young man,” the mysterious figure said. He slowly turned to look at challenge ring 49, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
”Something to do with that young man? How is that possible!” An incredulous look flashed through the elder's eyes. Had that young man killed the ferocious devil in the Cold Pool Valley? That was practically a fairy tale!
”As for what happened exactly, I fear that no one else other than him knows. However, the man's legacy has appeared in the young man's body. It is impossible for that to escape me.”
Even the mysterious figure was filled with shock when he found out about the matter. Something must have happened between the two, or the man's legacy would not have appeared in the young man. Furthermore, if Mo Wen had simply killed the man by ordinary means, he would not be able to receive the man's legacy. Something secret must have happened between the two.
”The young man has received that man's legacy! So that is it! So that is it…”
The elder immediately understood several things when he heard that. No wonder the young man was able to understand the profound aura at such a young age. Furthermore, he even continued to understand and grow during the fight. While his talent was important, the man's legacy was even more important. In this way, what had just happened made sense.
”How lucky.” A flash of envy and jealousy appeared in the elder's eyes. Being able to receive the legacy of a warrior who had become an immortal was such a blessing. How many warriors in the world were able to enjoy such good fortune?
”It is still too early to say that he is lucky. I fear that he is no longer him…” The mysterious figure looked at the challenge ring. A cold and devilish smirk appeared on his lips.
”What do you mean?” It was evident that the elder did not understand.
