Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 593 Honor

The second challenger didn't fare any better as Fang Mu simply kicked him once and it was over. That challenger was of an even higher cultivation realm than the first challenger, but he still lost. The reason behind this was that Fang Mu's physique was greater than most of them present, he could bridge the gap between their cultivation using his unique physique.  After the second fight, Jing Su had already noticed Fang Mu's special physique.

Once he was done Fang Mu waited for his final challenger. This time no one dared to look down on the Body Forging Realm, Fang Mu, in fact, they felt like facing him was not worth it. If they lose the match they would forever be shamed for being beaten by someone of a lower cultivation realm. The people wouldn't even care even if they reasoned that Fang Mu had a special physique, they would still be mocked for being beaten by him. Now if they win, no one would really celebrate them as beating someone of a lower cultivation realm was to be expected. This means winning or losing nothing good will come from it.

Everyone then became quiet, no one spoke a word, and no one even looked like they were breathing loudly as they avoided Fang Mu's gaze. After several minutes have passed Jing Su suddenly spoke.

"Is there no one willing to take up the challenge?"

Jing Su looked around and as she was going to repeat the question, somebody finally stepped forward. A man with rather long black hair, a sword on his waist, one at his back, and an indifferent look on his face stepped forward.

"I will take up the challenge since no one wants to. So how about you just come at me and let us get this over with."

The surrounding people who heard what the man said to Fang Mu were surprised. The young man's cultivation realm was the same as the last one who fought Fang Mu, so how was still so confident, even after witnessing what Fang Mu could do.

"What is your name?"

"I have no need to tell my name to someone that's about to lose." The young man replied calmly. Hearing his response Fang Mu did not get angry and instead smiled.

"Heh, we will see about that."

Fang Mu took a fighting stance this time weaponless. On the other hand, the young man did not draw any of his swords nor did he take any kind of stance and simply stood there like a tree.

"Come at me then."

Fang Mu could feel it, even though the young man looked defenseless that wasn't really the case. It already felt like there was a sword to his throat so blindly charging forward would only mean defeat.

Fang Mu and the young man stared at each and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Everyone watching including those from the Void Sect was silent. Ren who was watching from a distance was smiling viciously while his hands were squeezing his forearms until his nails dug into his skin making it bleed.

Walter who saw his master bleeding from self-harm knew what Ren was thinking. Ren was holding back from attacking the two young ones, which actually surprised Walter. If it was his former master Richter he would have summoned all of his servants and let them attack everyone in sight.

"Master, why don't you just go and do what you want?"

"You think that I don't want to do that, but if I go now even if all of them attack they won't be able to harm my body even if I was just standing there doing nothing. They're all talented but they aren't strong enough yet. Battling them wouldn't be as satisfying as it should be... Also, I don't want to break their spirit. Still, this is very irritating, watching them fight is getting me too excited."

"So do you wish to leave now, my master?"

"No, I won't leave just yet. I want to see what the other guy can do."

...

While Ren and Walter were having their conversation Fang Mu and the young man haven't moved for a few minutes now. After a while, the young man sighed.

"What is this, a staring contest? What happened to your aggressiveness from the earlier matches? If you're not going to move, then I'll do it."

The young man started tapping the hilt of the sword on his waist as he walked forward. The way he moved so casually and defenseless makes him look like he was not in a fight and instead was on a stroll. When Ren saw this an image of another person overlapped with the young man.

"That form, is this guy-" The smile on Ren's face was so wide and ferocious-looking that if anyone could see it now they would've been frightened.

...

Fang Mu saw the young man approaching him and his body tensed up. The sound of tapping entered Fang Mu's ear and before he knew it the young was now right before him. Fang Mu planned to react to whatever the young man throws at him and then counter, but for some reason, the young man simply passed him by. As Fang Mu was going to turn around and attack, he heard the young man speaking to him.

"Well, that was pretty easy."

At first, Fang Mu couldn't understand why the young man said those words, but then he suddenly felt heavy and before he knew it there were cuts all over his body. Fang Mu was in disarray confused as to what happened, it was then he heard the young man speak once more.

"So are you going to continue?"

Hearing what the young man said, Fang Mu finally understood what happened to him. He sighed as he raised his arms in defeat, he then bowed his head to his opponent.

"Thank you for sparing me." After saying that Fang Mu turned around and was about to leave, but Jing Su intercepted him.

"Where are you going?"

"I lost so that means I have no right to join the test." Fang Mu answered while shrugging his shoulders.

"That's not true, you have proven to me that you are better than most people in the Spirit Gathering Realm. So now that you have proven that fact, I can allow you to join the test." In response to what Jing Su said Fang Mu shook his head.

"There's no need to do that, we made a deal and I lost, so I will accept my lose and leave."

Seeing the look Fang Mu gave her, Jing Su knew she wouldn't be able to convince him and she gave way. Fang Mu thanked Jing Su and left without looking back.

The surrounding people didn't even look at him as they continued to talk about what the young man with the indifferent look did. On the other hand, the young man in question noticed a chip on the blade of his sword.

'Did that guy unconsciously counter?'

...

"That really was Leonard's technique Fangs of the wolf! Is that kid a descendant? Well, I'll figure that out later, for now, let's deal with that guy first." Ren chuckled as he stared at the leaving Fang Mu.
