Chapter 762: Opponents Meet (1/2)
”Are you going to attack?” a red-haired girl asked the red-haired guy beside her.
They both wore red armor, which increased their defense by quite a bit. The girl wore a saber while the guy wore a long, single-edged sword. The guy's sword didn't have the typical thick back to give the sword more weight. The sword was made for finesse rather than power.
”Maybe, but I'm not sure,” the guy said. ”The Unrestrained Sect is still very powerful, even if several Sects are attacking them. My Battle-Strength is not as powerful as yours, sis.”
”Hmph, pussy,” the girl said with a sneer. ”Your fear is precisely the reason why you're still weaker than me, even though you're older than me.”
”I'm only a single year older than you, sis,” the guy said with an awkward smile. ”That barely counts at our age. Also, you only need to defend against the weaker disciples while I have to attack the stronger ones. How about I defend the resource point, and you go attack one?”
”Pfft,” the girl spat. ”Now you're searching for an external reason to rationalize your cowardice. You know exactly that it's impossible to switch spots like this.”
”I'm only using a hypotheti-”
The guy stopped speaking as both of them turned their heads to the east.
”Who's that?” the guy asked.
”No idea, but he's too weak,” the girl answered. ”He is only a Late Minor Circulation Immortal. Maybe he is searching for a resource point to attack?”
Some seconds of silence passed.
Then, both of them broke into laughter.
”Could you imagine that?” the guy said between laughs. ”The guy doesn't even have a weapon on him, which means that he isn't a Weapon Cultivator. Could you imagine some Elemental Cultivator attacking a resource point? Weapon Cultivators would lose all face if he somehow manages to achieve that.”
However, the girl stopped laughing as she remembered something. After that, her brows furrowed as she watched the approaching Cultivator.
The guy looked at his sister with confusion. Normally, she enjoyed laughing at overconfident, arrogant people. ”What's up?” he asked.
”Do you remember that new Ascender of the Unrestrained Sect?” she asked.
The guy nodded. ”Yeah. You think that's him?” he asked.
The girl narrowed her eyes. ”Maybe,” she said. ”I don't know why, but he somehow feels a bit dangerous to me. Try to ignore your preconceived notion and carefully feel his power.”
The guy was a bit confused but did as his sister told him.
Lightning, suppression, danger, control.
That was what he felt when he analyzed the Cultivator.
The guy took a deep breath. ”That's definitely him,” he said. ”Somehow, I feel like a fight between him and I would go 50/50.”
BANG!
The girl punched the guy's shoulder quite hard. ”Do you even hear yourself?” she asked with a sneer. ”It's alright to acknowledge your opponent's power, but don't undervalue yourself.”
The guy rubbed his shoulder with an awkward smile. ”Okay, maybe I went a bit far there,” he confessed but then looked at the Cultivator again. ”Anyway, this guy is a danger. Based on what I've heard and what I felt just now, he will probably claim twelve resource points without any issue. Whoever gets attacked will die unless they refuse to fight and concede right away.”
The girl nodded. ”I really don't want to acknowledge it, but he is probably the most powerful Early Circulation Immortal in our Sects' premises. In the Early Circulation Realm, he can do whatever he wants.”
”What's he doing?” the guy asked. ”He has been wildly teleporting around. It's like he's searching for something.”
”I don't know,” the girl said. ”There shouldn't be a fitting resource point for him here. This one's the only one.”
Suddenly, the guy's eyes widened. ”Hey, sis. Do you think he's searching for this one?” he asked.
The girl looked at her brother with a skeptical expression.
The guy looked at his sister with a worried expression.
”Hahahaha!” both of them broke into laughter. ”Could you imagine the guts you would need to have?” the girl asked. ”Imagine jumping an entire Circulation and fight against the most powerful Cultivators at that level.”
The Cultivator suddenly stopped as he arrived relatively close to the two of them. Then, his gaze changed, and he directly looked at them.
SHING!
And he teleported directly in front of them.
The map that Liran had given Gravis encompassed a huge area. He had been searching around this area for several minutes, just trying to find the resource point. His Spirit Sense had a radius of 200,000 kilometers, but that was barely anything in this world. Just by teleporting crazily one time after the other to arrive at this location had taken Gravis nearly two hours.
Gravis had probably traveled billions of kilometers.
This was the first time he realized how humongous this world actually was. Billions of kilometers and Gravis hadn't even left the vicinity of the Sects. It was actually insane.
”Need directions?” the girl asked with a smirk.
One had to remember that the girl and the guy were Late Major Circulation Immortals. Their Spirit Senses were far bigger than Gravis', which was why they had been able to watch him teleport around.
Gravis looked at both of them with narrowed eyes. ”There's supposed to be only one person here,” Gravis said.
”I'm the defender of this resource point,” the girl said. ”This is my brother. He's only here to visit.”
Gravis glanced at the guy and then looked back at the girl. ”As long as he doesn't interfere in our fight.”
The two of them opened their eyes widely in shock.
”Are you serious?” the guy asked. ”You do realize that this is a Major Circulation resource point?”
