307 - Not An Easy Opponent
Wrightzer looked toward Gunnar, expecting him to have become a victim of the parasite. However, Gunnar was on his way to attack Bernard.“How is he still fine?” Wrightzer wondered. “Did the parasite get killed because the spear tip was too sharp? That brat is so lucky.”Before Gunnar reached Bernard, John intercepted his path.Gunnar briefly stopped. “Why are you attacking the Flyswale family, Bernard? I knew you were a selfish guy, but I didn’t think you’d stoop so low you’ll violently try to take over a town.”“Don’t kill him,” Bernard said, barely even glancing in Gunnar’s direction. “I don’t want to be chased by Warren and the old freaks of the Fist clan.”“Yes, Master,” John pulled out a knife. “I will just carve out one of his eyes to teach him a lifelong lesson. Let me show you how to use the Storm Step, kid.” He leaped forth using Storm Step and covered the distance almost instantly.He attacked with the left fist, but that was merely a feint. Gunnar dodged that by swaying to
306 - A Battle Between Brothers
In Wale Park.Gunnar’s wound on the waist was healing a bit faster than Lasya expected. Even Vernon was surprised.Normally, it would take a few hours to close such a visible cut using a normal healing pill, but Gunnar was showing great results in a minute.Both of them understood that it wasn’t the pill’s effect but rather Gunnar’s ability. But they didn’t say anything out loud as there were many ears around.Gunnar, on the other hand, closed his eyes and meditated while standing.“What’s he doing?” Lasya asked.Vernon shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. Maybe he's concentrating before the final round starts.”“The opponents aren’t easy,” Lasya said, looking in the direction of Auguste and the man with the spear. “Especially those two. They seem like they’re master cultivators.”“They are master realm cultivators for sure,” Vernon said. He could tell that much from how they easily handled all hurdles so far. “I don’t know how strong they exactly are, but they won’t be easy to beat
305 - Small But Scary
Zuup~~!!A flaming bullet whistled past Gunnar’s face and hit the spider in the back.Gunnar leaned forth and used the Storm Step to leap toward Auguste.Auguste shot again, but this time, the flaming bullet was half as big as Gunnar.Gunnar punched right through the spherical flame and scattered them aside. A burst of wind also struck Auguste.But he repelled it with his hand casually as though he was pulling a curtain aside.The wind went on to strike another spider and broke its head to bits.Gunnar closed in on Auguste like a predator fearlessly approaching its prey, his fist zooming into Auguste’s face fiercer than Auguste’s flaming bullets.“Stop!” the examiner shouted.Gunnar’s fist stopped an inch away from Auguste’s face.Gunnar looked down, and Auguste’s gun was also pointing at Gunnar’s abdomen, ready to shoot.Both of them backed away.“The third round has finished,” the examiner said aloud. “The five of you can take a short rest. The fourth round will begin in ten minutes
304 - The Third Round
Johnson was sitting alone on the stairs, sipping on guava juice.Wrightzer came over to him and stared down at him rather intensely.Johnson stared back at him without blinking.The nearby people thought they were going to fight.“Your skills haven’t faded away just because you lost an arm, right?” Wrightzer asked.“I can make better swords than before,” Johnson calmly retorted.“As if,” Wrightzer snorted. “You can’t swing a hammer well with one hand. If you had both hands, I would have loved to compete with you, but I don’t feel the urge anymore. I’m sure I can make better weapons than you can without even trying hard.”“You’re free to imagine whatever you want. I will still always be selling more weapons than you ever can,” Johnson said.Wrightzer frowned and then tried to snatch the guava juice glass from him, but Johnson moved his hand away.“The third round will start soon!” the examiner shouted. “All qualified people must gather in this ring.”“We’ll settle things later,” Wright
303 - Conflicted
A brief window was open for others to meet the qualified suitors during the short break between the rounds.John went to meet Bernard, whereas Donny went to meet Gunnar. Before him, Lasya had already been talking to Gunnar.She was wearing a veil, so he couldn’t see her face. Even if he had, he wouldn’t have recognized her because he didn’t know her. And the same was the case for her even though the adults in their family were trying to get these two married.“Why would you challenge Luther?” Lasya worriedly asked. “I know you’re strong, but you surely aren’t thinking right. A veteran is on a whole different plane compared to a master. It’s not too late, so after you win, don’t even think about fighting Luther.”Gunnar smiled because Lasya seemed to believe he could win the trial.“Gunnar!” Donny approached them.Vernon immediately pointed the sword at Donny’s throat, preventing him from coming closer.Donny coldly glanced at Vernon. “What are you doing?”“It’s okay,” Gunnar put his h
302 - A Challenge
The second round had finished, but Gunnar felt energy coursing through his blood.This was similar to the feeling of wanting to do more when he was in the secret chamber, doing nothing but punching the wall, wanting to achieve something.In doing so, he had pushed his body to the limits. He still remembered how much heat his body produced back then.Now, his body felt an almost similar feeling but the difference was that he didn’t feel as tired.In fact, he felt like he was overflowing with energy.On top of that, Gunnar did not like how Luther specifically targeted him. Whatever his reasons might be, he was clearly being unprincipled.And so Gunnar wanted to teach him a lesson, as someone who was looked down upon.“If I win…” Gunnar raised his hand and pointed his finger at Luther, the man whom even most experts wouldn’t dare look in the eye. “Will you fight me?”The entire park fell silent.It wasn’t that they didn’t hear what Gunnar had said. It was just that they found it hard to
