Chapter 2249 Pearl's Duel

Alex returned to the courtyard. Jai Heiyun had some stuff to deal with back at her own place, so she would be coming later around the evening.

Alex met up with Momo again, watching her training. Of the three techniques he had given her, she had come very close to mastering the Jade Skin technique and was getting better with even the Flickering Shadows technique. But the Flame Mastery Scripture was a very tough ask for her considering her very weak Fire spirit roots. It wasn't that she could not do it, but asking her to be able to use such a technique in just under a month was too much, especially when she had multiple things to do.

Once she had progressed in the other techniques and had more free time, she could perhaps improve upon it very rapidly.

Rapidly was what Alex needed as he only had 50 years to have Momo reach the highest cultivation base she could. With that, there would be a higher chance of winning the tournament.

"I'm not going to start learning how to make pills today, am I?" Momo asked Alex.

Alex rubbed her head a little. "Soon," he said. "Maybe even tomorrow night if I get lucky. If not, within this week."

Momo's eyes widened. "Really? That soon?" she asked.

Alex nodded. "Let's just hope Pearl wins today's fight," he said. "Speaking of which, is he still cultivating?"

"I wasn't aware he was back," Momo said.

"He came back this morning," Alex said. "It seems he's preparing. Alright, go on and do your thing for now. We should be leaving for the other continent tomorrow morning."

Momo nodded and continued her training with Whisker.

Alex went back to his own room waited until it was time and then walked out. Pearl walked out next to him.

"Are you ready?" Alex asked him.

Pearl nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be," he said while releasing a deep breath. Both his and Alex's eyes shot to the side as they saw the 5 from this morning come back once again.

The man showed no fear. In fact, he seemed to think it would end very soon. It was as though it was more trouble for him to fly all the way out here than it would be to fight Pearl.

'He's quite confident,' Pearl thought. 'So am I.'

Pearl remembered what he was. A goddamn White Tiger. The strongest of all beasts in all of existence. And even among them, he was a special one.

He believed in himself, not to mention his brother who believed in himself. That was all he needed right now.

The two fighters stared at each other for a while before the fight officially began.

Pearl attacked immediately, shrinking space the moment he could move so that his spear hit the man in an instant. The man moved at the same time, but only to defend himself.

He defended against Pearl's attack easily without being phased by it.

'He knows my moves,' Pearl thought. It was a dangerous battle to have to fight where you knew nothing about the opponent and he knew everything about you.

'Or he thinks he does,' Pearl thought, immediately attacking a few more times.

The man casually stopped all of those attacks, not even breaking a sweat to defend against the attacks. They were so weak that it didn't even feel like he was fighting anything.

After blocking a couple of the attacks, the man swung his sword, releasing a bright white attack that tore the ground as it came toward him.

Pearl was about to attack but realized that it was too much for any of his attacks. So instead, he disappeared, teleporting to another side.

The man looked to the side. "So you can teleport," he said, finally speaking for the first time. "I was told you could, but I hadn't imagined it would be such a pure form of teleportation. So talented and has an understanding of space. You are quite strong. We will be willing to forgive you if you choose to work under me."

Pearl frowned for a second. "Under you? Never," he said.

"Don't be so quick to say no. Working under me has a lot of benefits that you would absolutely want," the man said. "I will give you time after you are defeated to make the choice." The man's sword glowed brightly. "Speaking of which, that should be right now."
