Death… And Me

Chapter 1478 - Lessons

Since Roan told him what he needed to do, Luan took his sword out as he took a few steps back to create some distance between him and the other kids.

"Ha! Do you wanna fight all of us?"

"That's some courage right there."

"Courage? He's trembling nonstop. That's just an idiot."

"Who will take care of him?"

"Not me. I told you before. I saw him cut down a Stage Two Jellyfish Demon Beast as if it was nothing. We can do that as well, but I don't want to risk it."

"Ha! Coward. Let me deal with him."

Eventually, one of the kids stepped out. Just like Luan, he was at the Peak Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and was also a sword user. "Take this!"

Fire Element gathered as his sword burst in flames.

'Fire Slash!'

It was a very simple attack that any sword user with Fire Element Affinity could use. Then again, that's to be expected since they were all kids. They had all been taught simple skills now that they were at the start of their cultivation.

However, Luan's three pupils rotated as he could clearly see the Divine Energy and Fire Element move before his opponent even started to move. In his eyes, time seemed to slow down as Luan took two steps to the side. The Fire Slash hit only air as a shocked expression appeared on the kid's face.

Unfortunately, the kid didn't have the time to think about anything else after that.

*Pah!*

Suddenly, something heavy hit the kid's head, making his vision go dark before he dropped to the ground. He passed out, just like that.

All the kids looked at that with greater shock. They didn't expect that Luan would defeat one of their members with such ease. When the first kid missed his Fire Slash, Luan's sword was already flying at his head. It's just that Luan used his sword's blunt side to hit the kid. Otherwise, Luan could have totally cut his opponent's head off.

Even Luan was scared of how easy this first fight was. 'Could it be that he lost on purpose?' That was his first thought, as he didn't believe he was that much stronger.

In the air, Roan narrowed his eyes when suddenly, Kentucky's voice echoed in his ears. Naturally, Kentucky could see everything much better than Roan due to his better eyes. "Luan's eye ability is really amazing. Did you notice? Luan began to move away before the kid launched his attack. He knew exactly where his opponent was going to strike and counterattacked quite well."

Roan nodded in response. "Indeed. The ability to see Divine Energy and Elements is truly remarkable. His response to the kid's attack was quite shit, but the result wasn't that bad in the end. It's pretty obvious how much lack of experience he has, though. His body acted naturally. His dodge wasn't something he controlled willingly. Only the strike on the kid's head was. He has a lot to improve upon, especially in the usage of his eyes' abilities."

Kentucky couldn't help but ask in response, "Can't you feel happy even a b-?" However, it was then that Kentucky noticed a very faint smile on Roan's face. It wasn't the same cold smile that gave others a chill. Instead, it looked like an excited and satisfied smile. 'Hmph! So you do like the kid,' thought Kentucky.

Kentucky was right. Roan could already see the great prospects of Luan's development. 'Perhaps he'll turn as scary as Zuo and his Magnetism Affinity.' At that moment, Roan couldn't help but wonder how Zuo was faring with Calina. After all, they had been separated, and Zuo ended up heading in the same direction as Calina and the others. However, he quickly put those thoughts behind as he paid attention to the kids' battle below.

As soon as Luan got rid of the first kid, three of the remaining five kids immediately took a few steps back. Those three were all in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with some of them being at lower cultivation than Luan. Naturally, only the two Core Formation Realm kids remained, both of them at the Initial Stage.

They were eight and nine years respectively, being the oldest ones there. Immediately one of them sent a Divine Sense message to the other. 'Let's take him down together. My dad is definitely watching. If I lose to my peers alone, I'll definitely be punished.'

'Me too. My aunt is here with me. She'll definitely tell mommy if I lose to a Foundation Establishment boy.'

That was one of the reasons Roan told Luan not to kill anyone. He could tell that some Divine Senses were also watching this development. None of the adults around would intervene in kids' battles against each other as long as no risk of killing appeared. Roan, obviously, wouldn't either. That would be detrimental to Luan's development.

One of the kids took a spear out, which was obviously bigger than his own body. The other kid had a sword, though, made to match his size. Luan wasn't much different as the sword that Rean forged was also made to match his size.

The two kids then assaulted Luan at the same time. Wind and Lightning Element gathered around their weapons before they used their own attacks.

'Myriad Lightning Thrust!'

'Tempest Blades!'

Their attacks were obviously a lot more elaborated, and they aimed to give Luan no space to dodge. However, before they even started to move their weapons, Luan's body already began to move as he thought about one of Roan's lessons.

'Remember, cultivators at your level can show many flaws at the very start of their attacks. Use these eyes of yours and aim at the breaking point of their skills with a quicker attack. Not only will you stop their assault, but it will also give you an opening to take your enemy down. Now, let's practice it.' Roan had used Rafatia for that purpose many times. Well, Rafatia also benefited from it, so it was fine.

'Death Style, Stellar Piercer!'
