Chapter 107 - Challenge Begins! (1/2)
Miami had been changed in many ways and one of the ways it had been changed is that many of the old scrapped buildings had been destroyed by Letty being replaced by large open spaces. The duel that Will and the others had set the day before was to be held in one of these large spaces, one with the area of 4 football stadiums. It was quite a large open space with grass everywhere. The cement and any of the signs of one's society had disappeared long ago. It was actually more like a small grass plain within the city itself.
Everyone had gathered for the battle. Alexa and her crew from Dragonheart, whereas on the other side we had Letty who was waiting for Will to arrive. Will was slightly late, nevertheless, the others still waited impatiently. Will's words had instilled a lot of hatred and jealousy for the others, so they were all motivated to put him in his place.
Will was too valuable to kill, so there was no way the Dragonheart Empire would kill him in the life and death match. The whole point of having to be in a life and death match was just to teach Will a lesson. Unfortunately, they were teaching a lesson to one who was already a teacher.
Will made his way to the ground of action where there were supposed to fight with a floating Duke in tow. Duke was being held in a water bubble with a camera like device in his hand. Many thoughts were running through his mind as his heart raced. Now that he was a part of a guild belonging to such a powerhouse, his future was virtually set. Granted this was still a world in the system, so dangers to one's life always lurked around the corner, especially if you were an information broker. But being part of Senbonken gave Duke a certain piece of mind. If he played his cards right, he could fulfill his dream of being a powerhouse.
Will also had a lot on his mind. He had had a long and fruitful discussion with Duke over certain pieces of information that he wanted.
This information had been in knowledge for a while and now that he was aware of this information Will was quite happy, not to mention the fact that he had gained a gifted subordinate.
Will had thousands of partitions in his mind which was equivalent to having thousands of thousands of minds together, so his mind power was quite impressive, his cognitive reasoning, his logic were much much higher than the average persons, so much so that it would even affect his senses, hence whenever Will was talking to someone, especially someone who is not that good of a liar he was able to detect what they are thinking, what they are feeling just from micro-expressions.
The eyesight he had gained from increasing in levels and abilities such as intent allowed Will to become a very good judge of character and skill.
Duke was a person with potential in skill with regards to the field of information, not to mention he could fight well as well. Will was confident of that. It wasn't just a matter of understanding Duke's intelligence but also a matter of understanding his talent in terms of qi and mana.
Duke's class was fit for hunting monsters. Will could feel the abundant qi in Duke's body but he also noticed a somewhat small difference from most people.
Intent allows you to scan the environment, similar to sonar but it can also penetrate to the molecular level although Will hasn't quite reached that point, he can detect certain differences between certain people, for example, Will was able to detect that Duke hadn't been using the system for a long time as compared to most yet he had already made such significant gains in his leveling up.
Not only that but Duke's qi was of pure quality. Even though he leveled up quickly his qi was of high quality which shows that the boy did have talent, and a rare talent at that. It just had not been used properly, so Will not only intended to make Duke his subordinate but he also intended to hopefully get guidance for him from Modus.
As Will made his way onto the ground, the others grimaced. Everyone knew what was about to come was a serious battle and if any mistake was made there could be a loss of life. As for Duke who is in a bubble, no one besides Letty gave a shit.
Will landed and looked to everyone apologetically, saying ”Sorry I am late guys, I had some important business to take care of but don't worry, the ass whooping will occur today without any issues.”
Alexa and her crew looked Will in disdain. Will's arrogant words were words that were designed to insight hatred and envy and any other negative emotion you can think of in regards to how one sees their enemy.
