Chapter 44 - My Name Is Medivh (1)

"Hmm, so that maniac wanted to put you in a tournament. Brat do not worry, in two years, I can get you to win any tournament in such a low-level area, and I will, despite your impossibly bad perception. But there is something about what you said that I do not understand. Someone like him does not care much about places like this. So why did he come to a place like this and talk to someone like you, and not only did he talked to you, why did he give you one of the Divine Octal? This is very unreasonable. Even though he is crazy and unpredictable, he is not crazy enough to give someone from the Divine Octal to someone as weak as you. Does the reason for him doing this...? Or!"

After talking this much, Sirius suddenly paused as if something had come to his mind, his voice got serious and he continued to talk: "Brat, did the person you were talking about who wanted to put you in a tournament say why he wanted this?"

When Sirius spoke, he mentioned Skinny Man as 'Maniac' and Asil understood that his master knew Skinny Man. After realizing this at the beginning of the conversation, he would ask his master who Skinny Man really was and what extent of his power was, but after the conversation, when his master's voice became serious, he thought something was wrong and stopped asking questions.

Asil immediately answered the question that Sirius asked in a solemn tone: "Yes, master, he told me. Senior told me that their sect had assigned some people to find people to participate in this tournament, and he was among those assigned. He found other candidates like me. The senior told me that I have to go to the tournament two years from now and have their sect leaders watch an interesting tournament. That's why I want to be strong enough to be in that tournament right now."

After Asil's reply, Sirius remained silent for a while and then spoke strangely: "So 'he' will watch the tournament. Now the situation is clear. When we consider that the relationship between 'him' and that maniac has not changed and the state of your body, it is not very unreasonable for him to give you one of the Divine Octal. He was probably curious about the seal formation like me and used this necklace for that. Hmm...Brat, if what you are saying is true and if 'he' is really coming to watch the tournament, then you need to do more than just get stronger. I do not want to risk doing this, but given the circumstances, there is no other option. Kid, I am gonna make your training program a lot harder than I just mentioned. My advice to you is to do your best not to die!"

After Sirius spoke, Asil gulped and thought things were much more serious than he thought. Although he did not know why his master suddenly had such an attitude, he had no choice but to trust him and do what he said.

Time moved on and the days passed quickly.

*************

Three unusual-looking people showed up at the entrance of the Black Dragon City, which is the capital of the Black Dragon Kingdom, including Kastor, where as usual many people were entering and leaving. These three people were wearing shabby hoodies, and the clothes they were wearing completely obscured how they actually wore things under those hoodies. Of the three, one, whose body lines obviously showed his gender as male, walking in the front and the other two, whose body lines showed their genders as females were walking in the right and left cross of the male one and following him.

When this group of three, led by the man, came to the entrance of the city with the shape of a giant black dragon's head, one of the guards at the entrance immediately cut them off and spoke arrogantly: "where do you think you're going? This is not a place for people like you to enter! Even the fee to get in here could buy the whole family of people like you!"

After the guard spoke, one of the two ladies in the back stepped forward but even before she could talk, the leader of the group extended his left hand and blocked her, then spoke with a laugh: "Hehehe, buying my family is not something you can do. But if you are so sure, then tell us the entrance fee so we know."

After the male's uninterested words, the guard became angry and spoke: "Who do you think you are brat? Didn't your parents teach you how to respect your elders? Seeing that they could not, I will do it now instead of them!"

The guard, after speaking nervously, drew his sword and hurtled towards the man in front of him. The moment he swung his sword, those around them who saw it sighed and continued to mind their own business. Because these things happen here quite often, and many people die as a result of these events.

But when the guard swung his sword, an unexpected event occurred. The sword had stopped after a slight sound, but it was not the man's body where it stood, but the lady's hand, which was on the man's left rear cross, extended to meet the sword. She captured the sword with only her thumb and index finger! 

Even though the power levels of the guards are different, the guard who did this was on the tenth level of the elementary profound realm and the lady in the other group stopped his attack with only two fingers. This sudden shock instantly changed the guar's expression and attitude. The guard immediately spoke in a frightened manner "Ma'am, forgive this junior's ignorantness and presumptuousness. This junior did not know he was standing before divine people like you. Please forgive this junior"

After the guard's words, the lady stopped her attack and breathed coldly, but before she had a chance to speak, the man in front of the group spoke again: "Hehe, don't worry, I am not a person to be offended by such things But I can give you a chance to relax. If you tell me the place to stay in this town with beautiful girls, nice food, and a nice room, we will be square, and I can even give you a little reward."

After the young man's words, a grateful expression immediately occurred on the guard's face and replied without a breath: "Sir, I am sure that you will be pleased if you go to the green jade inn after entering the city. Staying there is a bit expensive, but you can find all the things you are looking for there."

"Hmm, Green Jade Inn it is. Well, here is your reward" After the male spoke, he threw a little thing at the guard, and after having learned in detail the location of the Green Jade Inn from the guard, he entered the city.

The mysterious group of three looked at what the male threw at the guard and their eyes instantly widened. It was a profound coin, and it was red!

The guard looked towards the entrance of the city again with his enlarged eyes and muttered to himself: "That lady who stopped my attack with only two fingers may be at the late levels of The Nascent Profound realm. Maybe even in the Core Profound Realm. The other people at the back are definitely as strong as her. It seems from their behavior that they were protecting the male in front. I wonder who exactly, is the person who paid me a Red profound coin just because I gave the directions, and what is he here for? I hope he didn't mind my words, as he said; otherwise, I will surely die."

....

As the group of three entered the city and proceeded in the manner described by the guard, the male suddenly spoke: "Lisa, Emma. I will be in the Green Jade Inn; you can do whatever you want but don't be seen around me. When you are around, I have to use the money to impress girls, that is not for me. My current goal is to pick up all the girls in this town. I will go back home when I do this, hehehe."

After the man's words, the lady, whose name is Lisa, said: "But, sir, your father has assigned us to protect you. That is why we cannot get too far away from you. And if your father finds out about what you have done, he will be absolutely furious, and he could give you a great punishment. So, it would be better if we went back before it was too late."

The man sighed and spoke: "Pff, my dear Lisa, how many times have I told you not to call me sir. Call me by my name. Let the relationship between us informal, not formal. Besides, my dad was busy when I left home, and I told him that I was going to do some training. And after all, I did not lie, I'm really going to train. The only difference is I will be training on the art of picking up girls, not the Profound Art, hehehe..."

"Alright." The lady named Lisa answered and then disappeared with the other lady.. After they left, the male smiled and continued walking.
