Chapter 29: challenging 50,000 year old monster

Next Day.

"The streets are more crowded than usual, huh," David thought in his head while looking at the unending stream of people on the streets.

There were even some Foundation Establishment cultivators mixed in, and cultivators at the Body Refining Realm had become a common sight.

David thought about what could be the reason behind such a change.

"Master!"

"Wait for me, don't leave me behind."

Suddenly, David heard a sweet melodious voice filled with unparalleled charm calling him from behind.

A black-haired woman with two large balls jiggling on her chest came running.

"Huff! Master, why didn't you wait for me?" Mary spoke with an innocent voice.

Hearing her words, David's expression instantly darkened.

If David hadn't seen her status report yesterday, he might have found her actions cute. But now David knew there was nothing cute about her.

After all, she might be older than the world he was in.

"So he is really aware of my identity," Mary guessed in her heart after looking at David's dark expression.

"Strange! Moreover, he has three familiars, including that red-haired girl, instead of having one like everyone else."

Mary's thoughts moved at lightning speed as she pondered various things. Even in her long life, she had never met anyone capable of summoning more than two familiars at a time.

Everything about this black-haired youth was strange.

If David were to hear her thoughts, he would have surely snickered.

What familiar?

He didn't even know what a familiar was, let alone summoning one.

Mary tried to grab David's arm, but he slapped her hand away.

"You are still too young, master," Mary muttered in an almost inaudible voice and grabbed his hand. Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

David felt a squishy sensation on his hand. However, this time David's eyes narrowed.

"Get your hands away from me," David spoke in a cold voice.

Hearing his words, Mary felt an unknown force coiling around her body, and she let go of his hand.

Ignoring her pouting face, he started moving.

After fifteen minutes, he arrived in front of the North River Sect library.

"Your servant can't go in," the elder guarding the sect library spoke in a sleepy voice.

David nodded at the elder's words and told Mary to wait for him outside.

The North River Sect library was the same as before. However, compared to before, there were a lot more cultivators than usual.

Without disturbing each other, all of them were busy reading books.

David moved to the section that contained general information about this world.

He glanced through the books one by one and read them while sitting on his chair.

"History of Cultivation."

David read this book with interest. He really wanted to know how one discovered cultivation.

According to the book, it wasn't clear who discovered cultivation.

But cultivation suddenly appeared one thousand years ago.

Cultivation wasn't an ancient practice as David had thought but was something that was discovered recently in cultivator's terms.

Only 1,000 years ago, however for a mortal thousand years a long span of time.

Right, it was only a thousand years ago when cultivation first appeared in the world of Pandora.

The name of the world that David was currently in was called Pandora, and most of it was unexplored.

There was no such thing as a complete world map of this place.

Satisfied with the knowledge, David closed the book and picked another one from the bookshelf.

Just like this, time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, hours passed and most of the people had left the place after choosing their books, leaving only a few people behind.

After closing the last book, David left the library with satisfaction.

Outside the gate, Mary was patiently waiting for his return, not at all bothered by the fact that he left her outside alone.

"Let's go," David spoke in a plain voice; due to some unknown reason the animosity that he felt towards her had lessened in his heart.

Mary quietly walked behind him while being lost in her own thoughts.

Today he had gained a lot; now it was time to work on his second shortcoming, which was combat experience.

While thinking about various information, David arrived in front of the bank.

Suddenly, his eyes landed on the flier lying on the ground.

"Visit the Allison auction house to witness the miraculous power of the treasure of the century."

David read the words written on the flier out loud. On the other side was a map that pointed to the location of the Allison auction house.

David's interest was piqued. What could be the treasure of the century?

If he was free, he might as well visit it.

Purple sparks flashed, and the paper instantly caught fire and burned to ashes.

"Manager! You called for me." Sebastian spoke in a questioning voice while looking at David calmly.

"Yeah! I want you to spar with me," David announced with an eager smile on his face. He really wanted to see how he compared to the 50,000-year-old monster.

Hearing David's words, Sebastian frowned, but after some time, he nodded.

"Okay, let's begin." After saying those words, purple thunder appeared all around David.

Swish!

David lightly tapped on the ground and instantly appeared in front of Sebastian with a flash.

He threw a punch forward, and a bolt of lightning shot out, aiming for Sebastian's heart. But Sebastian moved at a ghostly speed, sidestepping the punch effortlessly.

His hand flashed as he brought it down in a deadly arc toward David's throat. His movements were clean and precise.

Flow!

David muttered in his head, and instantly his body was covered with purple thunder from head to toe.

David watched as Sebastian's hand passed dangerously close to his throat.

Sebastian, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. He wasn't expecting to miss his attack.

He wasn't expecting David to move this fast.

Both of them were at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, but the difference in their speed was huge.

Sebastian wasn't someone who would give up just because of one defeat.

After all, one or two defeats didn't decide who was going to win the war.

Sebastian's eyes, calm as a serene lake, flashed with fighting spirit as he took the initiative to attack. Each of his strikes was calculated and relentlessly aimed at David's vitals.

On the other hand, David was sweating bullets.

"Brother, we were supposed to spar. There was no need to be this serious," David thought while grinning from ear to ear as he ducked to avoid one of the punches.
