Chapter 120 - World Tree Sword

Chapter 120: World Tree Sword

Vulgar people that hurt Wercia occupied the Dual Cultivation Balance Test.

People went through this test in a big mansion that stood out in the neighborhood due to its gargantuan size. A floral scent slipped outside the place, permeating its content and surroundings.

Since no one really hid what was happening inside, all knew that this scent masked a much more pungent smell.

Countless people cluttered the stairs toward the Dual Cultivation Balance Test.

They had their own groups, each looking out for newcomers and returning partners. All of them had their own unique approach. Some smiled like business partners, some awkwardly proposed a pleasant night, and some were vulgar.

Those vulgar people were Minato's target.

They squatted the left side of the giant stairs, looking like usual barnyard gangsters. They spat vulgar terms left and right, which worked on some women who liked it rough. At the same time, they also poked fun at other groups, looking down on their approach.

After Minato approached them with his hands in the pockets, those vulgar people tilted their heads.

"Yo, dude... Do you see any women here? We are straight! Haha!" A vulgar man cackled as he noticed Minato staring at them.

Other guys stood up to join the fray, but all of them soon noticed Wercia behind Minato. Their eyes flashed with understanding, sneering and rubbing their hands for some beating.

"Reverend Minato?" A guy, who was the first to offend Wercia, came out of the group and stood straight before Minato.

He wore a confident smile as the group of good buddies was behind them.

"I am known as Reverend Minato," Minato replied with a smile.

"So it is really you! Man, you should really teach your women some manners. She has scared us so much we aren't just satisfied with beating her once. We need more, you know? Each of my boys needs at least one night with her," That guy spat out his sapience, his buddies nodding behind him.

Minato sighed, "Do you really lack women? Perhaps, you have done Dual Cultivation for so long that you no longer feel anything without excitement behind it. Does stealing someone else's women give you that little spark?"

"Heh. You still playing that Reverend's role?" The guy chuckled.

Minato laughed as well, "You look like a veteran here. For so many years, you have been dual cultivating. It brought you no results, then you indulged in immoral practices of stealing and forcing women into submission.

Now, take a look at yourself. Have you improved? I feel like your dual cultivation holds no benefits with how weak you appear to be. The same goes for all of you," Minato went on the offensive with his words.

That was, of course, part of his plan.

As he made fun of those people and insulted their bed skills, the group of vulgar circled around Minato and Wercia.

Since they could hurt Wercia, their skill was not bad.

Minato still didn't feel any danger.

After their mana surged and oozed out to form the raw pressure, Minato still felt nothing. With a smirk, he gazed at the incoming vulgar, making them feel some pressure back. Their mana was a little different, however.

That mana was known as weapon mastery mana.

There were three masteries overall: weapon, summon, and concept.

The last one was used in all power sources, whether it was magic circles or runes. However, since the vulgar used the weapon mastery, Minato focused on it.

That weapon mastery's peak was naturally to be one with the weapon. The conjured techniques through weapon and mana.

Looking at them, Minato saw the difference between weapon mastery and magic circles.

"You hold a sword... Well, then... I am interested in sparring," Minato whispered.

His enemies chuckled and loudly shouted, "Who says it is one versus one? Don't tell me your woman didn't tell you what happened?"

"It is... a spar," Minato's smile didn't waver.

He didn't show any reaction to all vulgar people closing up the distance. Their weapons hacked or thrust and went after him while he bared his wooden sword against his first opponent.

Minato's enemy chuckled and joined his buddies.

Naturally, Minato slashed through and stopped the guy's weapon.

His wooden sword endured the weapon mana mastery's technique!

At the same time, many other weapons fell onto Minato's body. He stood unfazed as those slashed and cut his clothes. A few tattered pieces fell off the ground, but no blood fountained or oozed out.

Outsiders and vulgar people blinked their eyes rapidly.

They then squinted their eyes and looked through Minato's body. His skin didn't even have a scratch, and he stood with a stoic expression.

His sparring partner gulped down, "What is this wooden sword?"

No mana went through that sword. With a frown, the man tried to probe through Minato's weapon. All he found was some unknown mana coursing through the weapon! It flashed with brief golden light.

'Golden mana?' The man whispered inwardly.

But before he confirmed his thoughts, Minato used this blinding light as a chance and thrust his sword into the man's shoulder.

With how defenseless the man was, even an amateur swordsman would deeply hurt that man.

Minato's sword deeply lodged within the man's shoulder, then he jogged it, digging through the man's flesh.

"Ahhhhhh!" At last, screams rang out.

Minato chuckled, "Shouldn't a dual cultivator have a profound endurance? Why are you screaming like a little girl already?"

The wooden sword continued its digging.

Meanwhile, other buddies once again clenched their swords. They thrust it with more vigor toward Minato, aiming to break his diamond physique.

To no avail, of course.

"T-This sword is a different wooden sword," Wercia whispered from behind as she stared at the mysterious weapon drawing more blood from the vulgar man.

She used to spar with Minato, so the wooden sword was familiar to her. But now that her eyes locked that weapon, Wercia scrutinized it, and she realized that it was a much different weapon than before.

She was right.

That weapon was made out of the World Tree's thick branch. It also had Minato's Overlord Mana within itself.

Although Minato couldn't use it well since he lacked skills and masteries, he made his weapon as tough as his body. Any fool that would try to probe through Minato's weapon would get blinded and shocked by the golden mana.

The Overlord's Mana would make them scared and forcefully plant fear. That frightening emotion would turn fools into slaves.

And as Minato stabbed the vulgar man further, he asserted his dominance and strength. He heightened the already highly influential effects further with the World Tree Sword attacking its own.

Minato's World Tree oozed out its mana from the sword's tip. That mana sprouted from within the man's body, making him feel an excessive pain that kept spreading like a virus.

Meanwhile, other buddies have long since given up on trying to hurt Minato.

One of them noticed Wercia, who stood shocked not too far away. His mind flashed with a clever plan, which Minato naturally saw through.

Before those vulgar hands seized Minato's maid, the Overlord peeked behind and conjured his magic circles. He trapped that man and whispered, "Bully him. No one will bother you."

"Yes, Reverend! If it's one versus one, I won't lose! My swordsmanship won't be lost against those vulgar!" Wercia reassured and stepped toward the box.

She faced the vulgar with knitted eyebrows, sharp eyes, and bitten lips, clearly showing her decisive and serious she was.

"You will pay for hurting me," Wercia threatened, then her sword flashed with silver light, announcing their solo battle.

At the same time, Minato left others wounded, his World Tree Sword putting more seeds of fear into their bodies.

As all vulgar people became scared of Minato, their hearts deemed him the Reverend, and they all soon knelt and begged for forgiveness.

Minato glanced at them, then shifted his attention to Wercia's battle.

Knowing her skills, he knew she would win. And as if she had been waiting for him, when Minato looked at his box, Wercia's sword tore through the man's chest vertically, drawing more blood than enough.

Without treatment, this man would soon die.

Werciai didn't care about him and turned her eyes to Reverend Minato, "I did it, Reverend! Any more enemies for me?!"

"Don't get too excited. They are already done," Minato pointed at kneeling vulgar, then hid his sword in his world.

Wercia left his box and skipped her way toward him excitedly, "Are you going to try out the Dual Cultivation Balance Test, Reverend?"

"I might as well see through it," Minato chuckled, "Come. You are my partner for this one."

He said it so casually, but Wercia expanded her eyes and nodded with vigor as that was her chance to become closer with the Reverend Minato. Knowing that it was her path in Mount Tagram, she caught up to him and patiently waited for what was to come.

Besides, it was also a good way to thank him again for beating those bullies!

"You know... I just tested a new magic circle... We will see whether it works soon," Minato chuckled as he hurt the vulgar more than they expected.

Wercia curiously lifted her head and peeked at Minato's face, "May I ask what you did, Reverend?"

"You will find out soon," he laughed and strolled toward the big mansion, not spoiling any fun for his maid and friend.

But as though it was a mystery, Wercia suspected that those vulgar men no longer could dual cultivate!

How right she was?
