Chapter 3298
In the cave, Fade glanced outside and he seemed to have faintly sensed that the slight ripple in the water mirror had disappeared for a moment. Therefore, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and rushed out of the cave into the forest, and disappeared quickly.
Fade deliberately vomited blood and showed that he was seriously injured in front of the water mirror.
In fact, he was not badly hurt at all.
Earlier, Fade directly used his soul energy to invade Cayson's spiritual consciousness when he was against his ultimate attack.
Cayson's martial arts were not bad, but his spiritual consciousness was not strong enough. Fade's divine soul managed to invade and break the defense of his spiritual consciousness, and it made him feel dizzy for a moment.
Seizing this opportunity, Fade suddenly made his move and killed Cayson with one strike.
Of course, Fade pretended to be injured and fled the scene, deliberately acting in front of the water mirror, in order to confuse the masters who were watching and also to not reveal his strength so early.
The attention of the audience was shifted from Fade to the other contestants.
They observed each player one by one and noticed that there was no conflict at all, which made some of the audience feel boring to watch.
After all, almost all of the participants in the early stage teamed up and focused completely on searching the tokens. Even if they met their opponents occasionally, they still chose to back down and not fight on the spot.
Therefore, the first day of the contest ended quietly in the Frost Valley.
There were no other battles except for the one between Cayson and Fade.
When night fell, the audience who had been watching for the whole day also felt tired. Most of the audience went home to rest, except for those from huge families and a few who paid special attention to the contest.
At that time, Fade silently poked his head out of the bushes during the night, he observed the surrounding environment, determined a direction, and rushed out.
After adapting and thinking for a day, Fade finally knew his goal.
According to Mr. Goo's instructions, the final champion will be decided by the number of tokens each participant would get.
But at the same time, Mr. Goo also said that he had hid the Eternal Ice Core, which was the reward for the champion, in the Frost Valley.
Therefore, rather than collecting tokens everywhere, it was better to straight search for the Eternal Ice Core.
In the end, these participants will definitely meet each other and inevitably have a battle with each other. At that time, they could just snatch the tokens directly from their opponents.
Moreover, Fade had a great advantage in finding the Eternal Ice Core, because he had the Ice Soul Pearl.
The Eternal Ice Core, as its name implied, was definitely a treasure with the nature of ice. Even if Fade had not seen it before, he could not directly find the Eternal Ice Core.
But he could use the Ice Soul Pearl to examine the intensity of the aura in the Frost Valley. The place with the densest aura was very likely to be where the Eternal Ice Core was.
Therefore, the next day when it was dawn, Fade injected his soul energy into the Ice Soul Bead and began to explore the surrounding atmosphere. The Ice Soul Pearl was indeed very effective. The chilliness in the Frost Valley became very clear. Fade could easily judge the concentration by the intensity of the chill.
Thus, Fade continued his journey towards the depths of Frost Valley.
After walking for about two hours, Fade felt that the chill around him was much stronger.
It seemed that he had already entered the depths of the Frost Valley, and the snow around was obviously much thicker.
However, just as Fade was about to move on, he suddenly stopped and hid behind a rock and looked in front.
There were two people standing about hundreds of meters away.
Fade took a closer look and realized that these two were Saul, who was ranked second in the Martial Arts School of the South Van Academy, and the mayor's daughter, Masie.
At that moment, the two stood opposite each other.
Masie held a long sword and her expression looked cold. She looked at Saul in front of her and said, "Saul, do you want to fight for the token now?" Saul shook his head and said, "I'm actually not very interested in the tokens."
"Then why are you blocking my way?" Masie asked.
Saul said in a low voice, "To challenge you." "Challenge me?" Masie frowned and said, "The final contest is about earning the highest number of tokens. Are you sure you want to challenge me now? It won't do any good for either of us."
Saul shook his head and said, "Ever since they have set the rules of earning the most tokens, the champion is destined to belong to those major forces who teamed up. This was never a fair match in the first place."
"Since it's destined that I'll never win, my goal here was not for the championship anymore. I'm here to hone myself and improve my martial art skills." After listening to Saul's words, Masie frowned slightly, stared at Saul, and said, "Are you saying that you want me to be your whetstone and train you!" "Well, if that's what you think." Saul looked serious and drew out a large knife in his hand.
Masie slightly raised her head and showed an arrogant look. She said, "If you want me to be your whetstone, you should be careful. I might break your weapon."
Saul did not flinch and said, "If I'm defeated, it would only be because I'm not good enough and I'll accept that."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her opponent, Masie didn't bother to say more. She drew out her sword and pointed it at Saul, shouting, "Then let's do it."
"Hu!"
In an instant, they made their move. Like the wind, they left a shadow and then attacked each other.
Saul held a large knife while Masie wielded a long sword.
Waves of positive energy burst out of their weapons and they collided in the air, raising the snow all over the sky.
The Sword Qi whistled and the blade essence slashed down.
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged more than a hundred attacks.
Suddenly, the noisy scene came to a halt and returned to a calm atmosphere.
Masie took back her long sword, looked at Saul coldly, and said, "You lost!"
Saul withdrew his weapon and turned to leave, "I've been defeated!"
Fade, who was hiding behind the stone, silently sighed when he saw this scene, "Saul seems to be a martial arts maniac!"
Then, he prepared to leave.
However, just as Fade was about to leave.
Suddenly, a streak of Sword Qi came whistling and hit the stone where Fade was hiding.
At the same time, a shouting voice was heard, "Who is it? Come out and stop hiding!"
"Peng!"
When the Sword Qi hit the stone, it exploded.
Masie flew over with the long sword in her hand.
Saul, who was about to leave, also took out his weapon with a serious look. He was full of fighting spirit.
Fade didn't expect Masie to be so sensitive that she had noticed him. He quickly stood in a distance further away and said at the same time, "It's me!"
Seeing that it was Fade, Masie's delicate face showed a trace of surprise, and then she said warily, "Are you trying to snatch the token?"
Fade shook his head and explained,
"Miss Goo, you misunderstood me. I'm not interested in the token and I don't even have any of it with me now I just happened to pass by."
"Just happened to pass by?" Masie showed a look of disbelief. Seeing this, Fade said, "Miss Goo, if you don't believe me, I can leave immediately."
After saying that, Fade took a few steps back.
Masie stared at Fade and was slightly relieved after noticing that he really did not intend to snatch the token.
After all, Masie still had a vivid memory of how she fought against the Black Scale Python in the cave.
Masie was not sure how powerful Fade was.
Before reaching the final battle, she did not want to fight with Fade and use up her own strength.
Therefore, she was happy to see that Fade was willing to leave.
However, just as Fade was about to leave, Saul shouted, "Stop right there!"
"What do you want?" Fade raised his eyebrows and looked at Saul.
Saul drew out his weapon and said, "I want to challenge you to hone my martial art skills."
"I'm not interested in playing this game with you." Fade shook his head and was prepared to leave.
However, Saul followed closely behind, and a ray of saber radiance directly slashed towards Fade.
"You..." Fade leaned to the side and dodged Saul's attack. He looked at Saul with a furious expression on his face, "Are you sure you want to fight
now?"
Saul's face was serious as he
nodded and said, "On the path of et
being a martial artist, the battle is the key to victory. Those who fear
will not be able to progress Content
Upon hearing this, Fade didn't hesitate anymore. He snorted and charged directly at Saul at a high speed, "Then let's fight."
"All right!"
Saul was overjoyed. He drew out his weapon and swung it at Fade.
This slash had an imposing momentum and was similar to Cayson's attack earlier.
However, that was all. It was not a threat at all to Fade.
Fade put his fingers together and formed a sword, drawing out a streak of red flowing light in the valley covered with snow and slashed down.
"Hong!"
As both their weapons collided with each other, strong positive energy broke out, stirring up dust and falling from the sky.
"What an amazing sword skill!" Saul shouted with excitement in his eyes. He leaned to one side, drew out his weapon again, and was ready to attackThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Fade.
But at that moment, Fade did not move at all. He just stood there quietly, without any intention of resisting.
When Saul saw this, his eyes showed a trace of suspicion. Finally, he stopped his attack when his blade was half a meter away from Fade.
"What are you doing? Since you've
agreed to the match, why are you stopping? Is this your kind of attitude towards martial arts? Saul ked in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
Fade looked at Saul and said faintly, "Because you have already lost."
"I lost? How is that possible? I..." Saul felt that he was a little ridiculous.
But at that moment, Masie, on the side said, "Saul, look at your neck."
Saul lowered his head and looked down in shock.
Because he didn't notice when there was a slight sword mark on his neck.
The mark was very light, barely scraping his skin and oozing a thin layer of blood.
This kind of injury meant nothing for an ordinary person of the Earth Yuan World, much less for Saul who was at Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm.
However, at that moment, Saul's heart sank deeply, and a chill rose from his back.
This attack did not hurt him badly.
But it also meant that Fade had the ability to kill him, but he just didn't do it.
Moreover, he did not notice at all and still continued to fight with Fade.
