Chapter 202 Blood Barbarian: Spirit Nurturing Artifact
"What?!"
"What do you mean?!" The dude shouted.
"I'm not your opponent. That's what I mean," Arthur calmly replied.
"You're standing in front of me which makes you my opponent!"
"No, it doesn't."
"Yes, it does!"
"Why is your voice so loud? Can you speak like a normal person?"
"Now you shame me for my loud voice! But that's how I speak. Arrgh!"
The man finally couldn't take anymore and rushed for an attack.
*Swish!*
In an instant, it was as though he teleported and appeared beside Arthur.
'Ah... he's fast,' Arthur noted as he felt a mighty wind approaching his face and swiftly dodged.
*Swoosh!*
"Huh, how come I missed?!"
"Um, That's because I dodged it of course."
"Ah! That's not fair!"
"What isn't?"
"You're not supposed to dodge! How dare you dodge!!" The man's size suddenly grew bigger and his muscles became tighter and stronger.
"Come here!" He attacked again.
"Nope!" Arthur dodged.
*Bang!*
*Boom!*
*Crash!*
"Argh! Stay still so I can crush you!"
"No!"
"Why are you shouting too!"
"Cause you did!"
"Stop copying me!!" The guy grew bigger again and he was already five meters tall.
Arthur looked at the giant and wondered what sort of power he had.
Moreover, Arthur found it fascinating that the man's speed never reduced and even increased!
'Interesting, this guy is special but...he is a little dumb.'
"I know that look! You're probably thinking that I am stupid right!"
"Huh, you noticed? How?"
"See, you even admitted it. Evil!"
*Boom!*
Some red energy began to spill out of his body and cracks began to appear on the stage.
'Hmm, this is unexpected. His aura has already touched half-step into the Martial Emperor Realm.'
'I guess I won't be using my sword. It's been a while since I fought like a barbarian.'
Arthur finally guessed what kind of bloodline this figure had.
The Blood Barbarians.
They are an extinct race that existed in ancient times.
What was strange about them was that their martial spirit was also part of the body.
To be precise, it was their blood!
Only their shaman can see what kind of blood martial spirit each barbarian had.
*Crack!*
Arthur cracked his neck and sped off towards his opponent.
"Let's fight like real men!"
"Hell yeah!" Replied his opponent.
*Boom!* *Bang!*
The guardian watched in shock as Arthur fought bare-handed with raw strength without losing ground.
"They are evenly matched?"
"No, that doesn't seem to be the case. His opponent is getting injured but his bloodlust is too strong so he is ignoring it."
Bloodlust.
It was a special trait of the Blood Barbarians.
When a barbarian enters the bloodlust state, they ignore all else and only go for the kill.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At the same time, their battle instincts are awakened and they can somehow channel the battle experience of all their ancestors.
This made them to be natural-born warriors.
Arthur almost fell victim to this fellow's battle instincts a few times but his senses were also powerful even with using his soul power.
After a while, Arthur noticed that his opponent was getting stronger as they fought.
'But the increase won't last for much longer,' he thought.
'Well, it was nice knowing you, buddy.' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Strength Concept, level 5!"
*Boom!*
The Barbarian crashed to the stage and...passed out.
Soon, he too was cleared and the next opponent appeared.
After that, Arthur faced the next opponent and defeated him easily too.
*Swish!*
Arthur was teleported to the hall where he received a reward previously.
This time three things floated in front of him and the guardian appeared before him.
"You're indeed the strongest of all that have taken the test so far," he swallowed his pride and commended Arthur's strength.
Arthur simply shrugged and asked, "Are these my reward?"
The Guardian ignored the attitude and replied, "Yes, but not all of them. You can only choose one."
"Why not two?"
"Because that is the rule."
"You speak of the rules again. It seems you are fond of it."
"I am a custodian of the legacy of the Red Sky Sect. Who else will uphold the rules if not me."
"But you know that all of these will still become mine in the end right? So why not give me all three with a smile," Arthur smirked.
"Tch, you little..."
"What?"
"Never mind, just take it then," The guardian let out a sigh in the end and gave in.
'If you weren't already gone, you will owe me a lot for this,' The Guardian cursed in his heart that he had to bow his head to a little brat.
"That wasn't so hard, now was it?" Arthur smiled.
But then his gaze became serious, "Just so you know, whatever requirements you will have of me, I will not do anything that will go against my will."
"How are you so sure that you will be the one to get the inheritance in the end?" The Guardian asked a question instead.
"Do I even need to answer that?"
"Never mind. First, finish the challenge and then we'll talk."
*Swoosh!*
The Guardian disappeared immediately after saying that.
Arthur then took a good look at the content of the rewards.
One of them was an empty sword scabbard and Arthur wondered why it was even a reward if it didn't come with a sword.
"Master, that is a Spirit Nurturing Artifact!" Aixen spoke to him at this time.
"A spirit nurturing artifact. You mean this Sword Sheath can help a sword nurture a sword spirit?"
"Yes, it can also strengthen the spirit of a sword that has already awakened its sword spirit."
"I see, then that makes it a good treasure then," Arthur already knew which sword he had to nurture.
His eyes moved to the next object which was a map.
'A treasure map?' he thought as he held it in his palm.
"This terrain doesn't look familiar. I will ask that old fellow later," he placed it in his spatial artefact.
"The final treasure is another secret manual?"
[Ultimate Yin-Yang Reversal Technique]
[Note: This is only half of the original technique. Practice with caution.]
"Hmm, an incomplete technique manual?"
