Rise Of Destruction - Chapter 21
“You don’t need a weapon to deal with someone like me? Let me see how good you can dodge then!” After saying that Thomas unsheathed his sword and injected his energy into it.
The sword glowed with yellow light and was held by his right hand. The distance between Amon and Thomas was around 40 meters.
Thomas was fast, 6 meters with each step, but Amon even though was standing unmoving was faster.
In no time, Thomas was slashing at Amon.
So many flaws which result in openings…
Amon dodged with one step and no matter how much Thomas slashed and screamed, he couldn’t slash Amon.
“What is happening? How is that even…”
The crowd, Thomas, everyone was shocked.
Dodging the slash by squatting, which was coming for his chest horizontally, Amon jumped and released his aura of the late initial stage.
Next thing Thomas saw was a light coming from his left after which he blacked out.
“ONE PUNCH! A PRODIGY VERSUS PRODIGY…”
The public went mad, whether it was a teacher or a student.
“I’ll be taking that.” Said, Amon, as he picked Thomas’s sword and smiled towards the shocked jury.
He was weak…prodigy title is too overrated. What weapon should I pick for myself now…
Amon directly headed for the weaponry under the stares of the public. Becoming a badass was something he was getting used to.
It was expected for me to win. Just a punch from my tempered body at the third level would’ve been enough but they would have doubted my cultivation.
During the two days, he levelled up his body at the third level of the [Bluestone Body] – Grey Stone.
He was surprised too, how much potential his body had.
Getting inside the weaponry he headed to speak with the elder.
“Elder, I would like to exchange this equipment for another.”
“High Tier Initial Stage Weapon…enter the sword hall and choose something of the same rank.” Said the elder as he pointed at the sword marked wooden door.
So a sword it is…
Getting inside the sword hall he started inspecting the swords. Some swords were too long or too wide for him. What he needed was short sword like the one the dancing man on the prototype had.
Ha! Finally! [Azzinoth Twin Swords] – crafted by Azzinoth. These swords were long as an arm and their width was three fingers.
Picking those swords and their sheaths, Amon placed them on his new belt after binding them with blood. Information about those swords appeared.
Except for the locking function, everything was the same as Silver Sting. Instead of Locking, the function of Returning was placed.
Once you throw the weapon, it would come back but you need to throw it by inserting energy in the inscription on the handle.
Amon was satisfied with those and headed to meet teacher Tai Zi. He remembered Tai Zi’s words about the natural enemy of the Scorching Battle Sect.
Arriving at the training hall under the gazes of people who had seen him duel Thomas.
Going around he soon found the group led by Tai Zi.
“Teacher. Is it appropriate?” Asked Amon first.
“Amon. Let’s train first ” said Tai Zi.
Picking a staff, both Amon and Tai Zi began to spar. This time Amon took advantages of the openings Tai Zi had left.
Their fight was intense as this time Amon had a tempered body and improved vision when it came to battles.
“Our natural enemy is the Watery Battle Sect. There will be an Elementary Stage prodigy competition between our sects every year.
This year they have princess Valeera Waterbrim from the Waterbrim family among their prodigies.
We, the elders feel that among the disciples, you are the only one who matches her in terms of techniques.
I also believe you can tie her in a duel but you would need to put a hellish amount of training as she has a bloodline. Her family is one of the three big ones on the continent.
It was a very big blessing for the Watery Battle Sect to have her as a disciple. They are a level higher than us now and she has been promoted to a disciple of the Sect Master.
What we want is only to either tie a draw against her or not lose very badly. The sect will aid you with resources and whatever you need.”
Slowly explained Tai Zi as he sparred with Amon.
“Does she know about my existence. Valeera?” Asked Amon.
“Currently, news about you, a prodigy who defeated another prodigy with one hit has spread around the continent. Some know your name, some do not. ”
“I am confident in defeating her. Breaking through a cultivation layer isn’t a hard deal at all for me. I just need to temper my body and also increase my battling abilities. Even though she is a noble, she has been spoiled and does not have the gut to do things I have done. She lacks battle experience and the feeling of pain and worry. Defeating a spoiled kid won’t be a big problem. The only problem I will have will be the Aftermath of me winning. I doubt id be left alone.” Said, Amon, as he dodged spear stabs and slashes.
“Defeating her… Hehe. We have three months. Is it enough?” Asked Tai Zi.
“It’s enough! Ha!” Said, Amon, as he imitated Thomas.
He meant what he said. The sect was going to assist him with resources so he wasn’t worried about the incoming competition. Just doing the dance brought him so many benefits.
If he practised this dance for the next three months, what would happen? He would become a monster. For now, he had a good foundation to breakthrough the next realm.
What he needed to do was build a firmer one after he breaks through.
‘What if you have a bloodline and background? If im powerful enough I can kill you before they reach you. Civilizing the mind and savaging the body is my new foundation which I will build for myself!’
