Chapter 237 - 192 : Tes (2/2)

Arthur grinned and replied:

”Hohoho, kill him in a few moves. Did you hear that, Swain?”

”A may says, nothing is more dangerous in this world than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

There was nothing to be said about this remark, Swain doesn't even take Jian Si seriously. She may be strong for someone her age and amongst all the talented juniors, however, she pales in comparison to him.

He originates from the Book of the Damned, not only that, he's the fusion of the golem and the book, his strength is unfathomable and if he were to go all-out, he would be able to defeat Peak Gods.

”Hmpf! A kid dares to act arrogantly before me! It's a waste of time to fight you.”

Still calm and unaffected by being called a kid, Swain didn't bother retorting, he merely smiled and remained silent.

Seeing that Jian Si was getting heated up, Arthur said

”I didn't force you to come here. This is just a test, I can't make anyone my student, if you can't even pass this test, then don't bother coming back here. Actions speak louder than words, you say you can kill him in a few moves, if so, then go ahead and do so.”

Jian Si resolutely held her sword, ready to attack only to be stopped by Arthur, who reprimanded her

”Are you crazy? This is a room and not arena, go find somewhere else to fight, I need to rest.”

Cold Sword bit her lips, she couldn't even count how many times she had been insulted today, it's definitely a first for a person like her.

Swain held the opened the door and waited for her leave first. The girl snorted and left with her longsword in hand, as for the youth, he bowed at Arthur and left.

When the room became empty, Arthur laid on the large bed and closed his eyes, not even entering meditation. He had a strong urge to sleep, the mental exhaustion weighed on his mind and his numb limbs made his movements rather sluggish.

With Lucy's picture in his mind, and the sound of his daughter's laugh, he entered a deep sleep.

…

Swain and Jian Si soon found a large courtyard inside the Kang Castle. The guards were already informed about the new guests so they didn't bother them, only standing guard and doing their job.

With some distance separating the two parties, they stood opposed to each other. Jian Si held the longsword, ready to swing at the youth, as for Swain, he neither took a weapon nor did he even open his eyes, clearly not taking this fight seriously.

”A man doesn't have all day, thou may begin.”

He raised his hand, indicating for her to attack, which she did right away. With a thick murderous aura and an overwhelming momentum, she leaped at him similar to a tiger hunting its helpless prey.

The black sword came diving down at the youth from above, who in response only raised his right hand to meet the incoming attack.

A red aura enveloped the sword, adding to its bloodthirst and increasing its power, however, this attack which can eradicate a Divine Being was easily stopped by Swain's hand.

The bare hand collided with the sword, absorbing the Energy and force behind it, rendering it weak. He then waved his right hand, pushing the sword and its user away from him.

”Thou said a few moves? A few moves it shall be, then.”

The youth suddenly appeared in front of Jian Si, who was still trying to stabilize her body due to being pushed by the opponent's hand.

The right hand, which had absorbed the previous attack's energy, had transformed into an old rotten hand that emitted thick blood aura and a dangerous Death Energy. The palm hit the girl, sending her flying until she crashed into a far away wall, surprising the spectating guards.
