Chapter 23 A Battle Between Prodigies

Lenny came to his waiting room and saw Jasmine standing by the door.

He didn't let go of his persona and spoke to her with a cold face. "I want to watch how the other two guys are. Come follow me."

Jasmine nodded her head and trotted away with him.

Coming to the edge of the battleground, they saw the fight was already on the white-hot edge.

Yuki was moving fast while attacking with his sword. Meanwhile, Tailor was leaping and throwing at him with any kind of attack like berserk.

Lenny used inspection to see their information again.

[ Tailor Ymir(Fourth Stage Foundation Establishment Realm): A prodigy born from the Branch side of the Ymir Clan. They are known for having a little of Giant's blood in them. He came out here to a small place to gain experience and have a good fight. ]

'This guy seems to be from a real big force. The fact that the system said they have Giant's blood and called this town a small place. Also, this guy seems to be a fighting maniac, fitting for wielding Giant's blood.' Lenny wondered as he saw the information about Tailor. He also marked this clan in his mind.

Then he looked at the other guy.

[ Yuki Skyripper(Fourth Stage Foundation Establishment Realm): A genius that is only under the monsters of the Skyripper clan. This clan is currently hiding from the world. This clan's people are born with Swordheart which makes them extremely talented in swords from birth. He is here to find strong opponents to hone his skills. ]

'Sure enough, no one came here for marriage.' Lenny pondered to himself. 'This guy's clan also feels strong, maybe stronger than the Ymir Clan. However, he might be great to hone my new skill.'

[ Basic Spear Mastery - A passive skill that makes you master any simple spear move to mastery. ]

He only knew stab and slicing now. He wanted to master every basic spear move.

While Lenny was pondering deeply, the battle was entering its final stage.

Yuki, parrying away Tailor's attack, distanced himself.

Tailor also didn't chase him; he stood and tried to catch his breath. "You are quite good. Why don't you use any strong technique?"

"I was waiting for you to use it. To see if I could pull out your strongest while I am in my weakest." Yuki calmly answered.

Tailor froze for a second after hearing that. Then he started to laugh. "HAHAHA!"

"I like you. I want to make you go all out right now." Tailor said, spreading his arms.

"Hoho, these young ones are filled with arrogance." The head elder laughed as he looked at them.

"They are strong and have confidence in their strength. So, it is their right to be arrogant." Galibar said. "I don't mind my son-in-law being arrogant. It might come in handy in the future."

The head elder just smiled."We will see."

Meanwhile, Kaley was thinking that marrying someone like this wouldn't be bad. 'It will be so fun to handle them.'

In the battleground.

Tailor took a battle stance and said."Great Mountain Punch."

In an instant, he vanished from Yuki's sight. Yuki's eyes widened as he swung his sword toward his back.

Bang!

His sword and Tailor's fist clashed against each other, making a loud sound.

Yuki's eyes widened as he saw himself flying backward at a fast speed. He positioned himself horizontally in the air and made his feet land on the wall.

Despite saving himself from injury, the force behind that punch, made his feet cave into the wall. He bent his knees and then launched himself at Tailor.

"Ten Sword Cutter."

He came before Tailor and swung his sword at him. Tailor felt there were nine more swords beside Yuki's original sword.

They all simultaneously attacked Tailor.

Tailor punched at a very fast speed, leaving behind shadows.

Bang!Bang!

Rumbles happened all around the battleground, making the ground shake a little.

"Is this how prodigies really fight!?"

"They look super strong. I think they can easily defeat the prodigies in our town."

"They are good, but...they are not as good as Lenny."

Brastiar, who was secretly watching, was surprised. 'Didn't expect such prodigies from the big clans would come. Also, these two and the finalist could take any of our top prodigies without a sweat maybe.'

He became jealous just by thinking that. His desire to rule the whole town alone grew more. He needed all the resources to create a monster that could lead their family to the top.

Galibar, who had a sour mind for many days, had his heart soothed a little. 'Hmm, I don't mind getting any of these guys for my daughter.'

He had already started to think of the prodigal grandchildren he might have in the future.

Jasmine, who was beside Lenny, proclaimed."They are very good, Ga- Master."

Lenny nodded his head."Yes, they are indeed."

He came here to complete a plan, but he didn't mind fighting such an opponent as he wasn't able to test his full strength on anyone.

Yuki stood at his place and gave fast, strong slashes. Tailor also did the same, but the force behind his every punch increased little by little.

Yuki felt that in his bones, and his sword too, as it was vibrating after every punch it reflected.

It was the effect of the Great Mountain Punch. It would gradually increase the power behind every punch.

Yuki knew he would lose if he didn't do anything. He whispered lightly. "You forced my hand."

He took a step behind and jumped up. He made an overhead slash at Tailor.

"Air Ripper" A sword aura came out of his katana that seemed to vibrate the air as it went through.

Tailor felt an impending danger. He knew he couldn't escape that, so he also used his last move too. "Ground Cracker."

A red aura enveloped his right hand as his punch landed on Yuki's sword aura.

Upon contact, an explosion occurred.

Boom!
