Chapter 21: Gioing to any length
David and the silver-armored man exchanged tens of moves in an instant.
The silver-armored man's sword was like a flying dragon, filled with terrifying momentum. Each and every strike of the sword was aimed at David's vitals.
However, in front of David, he wasn't able to do anything.
No matter what he tried, David perfectly countered his every move, and it looked like David wasn't even trying hard.
"So fierce," Leon looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't stop himself from commenting. He had never thought the black-haired youth was so strong.
Remembering that he had earlier called him a country bumpkin made him shiver.
Leon could only hope that David didn't take his words to heart.
At this time, Sophie, who was also watching the fight between the two intently, commented.
"If he doesn't finish it quickly, he might get in trouble."
Her voice was low, as if she was talking to herself. Compared to Leon, the shock she felt was greater. After all, she was the leader of the team.
Her face turned red when she remembered how she had tried to save him back in the forest; he must have been laughing inside.
Leon heard her words and agreed with her. Although he couldn't guess at which rank David was, he could tell he was still at the Body Refining Realm.
Therefore, he was bound to have a low mana reserve.
The fight continued for half an hour, and neither of them showed any sign of fatigue.
David had a feeling that if he wanted to finish the man in front of him he could easily do so, the man wouldn't survive more than one move of his, but he refrained; he wanted to test the power of his new skill.
Turns out he made the right choice. Whenever the silver-armored man was near him, he would easily counter the man's move, but when the man moved away, the experience that he received would disappear form head as if it never existed.
After more experimentation, he concluded the range of the domain was two meters around him.
Satisfied, David decided to finish things quickly.
He raised his chair, which had started glowing with purple thunder, and smashed it on the silver-armored man's head, who was still trying to attack him after repeated failures.
The chair drew an arc in the air and struck the man's head like a hammer.
Bam!
The man's skull caved in upon impact and exploded like a watermelon, sending brain juices flying in every direction. Some of it fell on David's coat.
The pristine white floor was painted red.
Thud! A headless body fell on the ground.
Sophie who was intently watching suddenly turned her head away; this scene was too much for her to see.
Even Leon swallowed his saliva at this gory scene.
"Finally, someone was able to defeat an elite soldier. There is still hope," Old First commented in a happy voice while looking at the scene. Beside him, Old Second also beamed in happiness.
They had reason to feel happy; after all, those who came before David's group were brutally killed by elite soldiers.
The scene had caused the three to feel despair.
Fearing they were in a barren wasteland, Old Third had taken over the body of a waste and sealed his fate.
Only, Rick gritted his teeth in anger, the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Check the potential of the other two," Old First quickly ordered after calming down.
Just as Sophie and Leon were about to recover from the gory sight, two silver-armored men similar to the one lying on the ground appeared in front of them.
It didn't take long for them to understand what was going on.
Both of them brought out their weapons and got ready to fight.
Meanwhile, David was looking at the window that had suddenly popped up in front of him when he killed the silver-armored man.
[Would you like to sell the body to the bank?]
[Yes/No]
He looked at the window in wonder.
He could even sell dead bodies.
As the Bank hadn't quoted a price, he was confused. But after thinking the body was useless anyway, he might as well sell it.
David confirmed, and immediately the body in front of him disappeared.
[50,000 spirit stones had been deposited in your account.]
"Holy shit," David cursed in amazement. He wasn't expecting such a large sum.
Before he could even digest the shock, he heard another voice.
"The reward will be issued shortly," Old Second spoke in a pained voice. He still had to follow the rules of this place.
He didn't want to give anything to these people that could be of use to him.
Turns out, these three people were nothing more than spirits who had gained sentience after a long period of time.
No matter how reluctant Old Second was, he still had to follow the will of the creator of this place.
Old First seemed to have understood Old Second's thoughts and laughed.
"Don't be stingy. From the moment they step inside this placeā¦" Old First's voice was a little sinister when he uttered those words. He didn't even have to finish his words to make Old Second understand their implications.
The Old Second blob flashed as he understood.
On the screen, Leon and Sophie were fighting with all their strength.
David looked at their fight while sitting on the blood-stained chair.
Both of them were performing exceptionally well. Especially Leon, whose opponent was at the same cultivation as him at the second Rank of Body Refining Realm.
Leon's body was like a ghost that moved unpredictably.
David wondered what his Crystallisation of Life was.
Shifting his eyes away from Leon, he focused on Sophie. The silver-armored man and Sophie seemed evenly matched.
Clang! Clang!
Their swords sent sparks flying everywhere. However, if you look closely, Sophie's sword seemed to be glowing with a white light that was slowly cutting the sword of the silver-armored man little by little.
David sipped on the coffee that he had just purchased from the shop and watched the fight with gusto.
