39 Trevon vs Chosen Young Master

Trevon continued to play some music. He even took his Pipa to show his other skills.

"He played Pipa as beautifully as his Qin." A young lady was so infatuated with Trevon. Her flower started to cry.

"He is more than just a handsome young master." Another young lady agreed.

"That is also a famous Pipa. It was once owned by the beautiful Grand Master Xiao." A young lady that had some knowledge about Pipa explained.

[You are smart.] Trevon heard the last lady comment. That was one of the reasons Trevon spent some money to purchase this Pipa. Every time he played this Pipa, he could imagine that Grand Master played this same Pipa. He always imagined him being hugged like the Pipa. [HweHweHwe.]

He played another piece until he saw a beautiful face entered the hall. She dressed in a yellow flowery outer robe and a white inner robe.

[This is the main fish.] Trevon played even more lovely songs. The girls were so ensnared in the play.

Trevon felt it was enough. He should cut when the girls wanted more. Trevon played his final piece and stopped.

The audiences applauded Trevon. It was uncommon to see a Master playing. Even in the entire Heavenly Phoenix, the Grand Masters were rare. One could count them on 1 hand. Most parties would only invite Master Qin Player or Master Pipa Player to brighten the atmosphere.

"I hope my fellow brother and sister enjoy my present." Trevon bowed to show his class.

The audience continued the claps while Trevon stepped down from the stage. He went to the place where a beautiful lady stood.

"Trevon greets Young Lady Olivia." Everybody had just realized the lady. Everyone was watching Trevon, so they didn't realize the lady entered the hall.

"I hope you enjoy my present." Trevon bowed before her. He could smell the jasmine fragrance from this beautiful lady.

"Olivia greets Young Master Trevon." Olivia politely replied Trevon. "However, this isn't a party for me. This is a party for my brother." She smiled.

[That was a gorgeous smile.] Trevon thought.

"Why is it a party for your brother?" Raina who stood next to her asked Olivia. Olivia had found Raina during Trevon performance.

"My brother managed to reach Rank 2, so our family decided to make a party to celebrate his success." Olivia answered.

"Young Master Leon Redwood arrived!!!" The attendant shouted from the hall gate.

"That is my brother." Olivia smiled.

Trevon started to realize that this wasn't a simple party. He really disliked this type political party.

There was no way such an important young master came to a party. Even Raina should not join any parties. She was a McArthur chosen. Most often these geniuses were kept hidden until they matured. [I should know the trap beforehand.]

A young man in Red robe entered the room. He had a wild look, a very big smile, and deep eyes. The man also intentionally showed his Rank 2 aura.

[I don't like this man.] Trevon thought. He used his Scout skill.

[Name: Leon Redwood]

[Age: 49 Years]

[Sex: Male]

[Species: Human]

[Potential: 26/38]

[Determination: 78]

[Cultivation Speed: 86]

[Loyalty: 73]

[Talent: Dancing, Fighting – Sword, Planning]

[Ability: Heaven Earth Palm (Star), 5 Golden Palms (Sky), Cicada Steps (Sky), Redwood Swordsmanship Level 1 (Sky), Redwood Swordsmanship Level 2 (Earth), 4 Hands Defense Maneuver (Sky), Dragon Destroying Punch (Earth), Star Shooting Finger (Sky), Palm Penetrating (Man)]

[He is that old?] Trevon was surprised when he looked into his age. He looked like a 21-year-old man.

"That is normal. He just got additional lifespan. However, he managed to cultivate really fast." Master Rabbink floated next to Trevon.

[What is with his potential?] Trevon was surprised. He believed the talent that the Redwood family promoted would be very top.

"He has some talent in his cultivation speed. It was normal for people to make some mistake." Master Rabbink explained.

"What is with the huge amount abilities. Is he a martial arts addict?" Trevon wondered.

"..." Master Rabbink didn't respond.

Trevon felt rather than investing in this Leon, the Redwood family should consider their pearl Olivia.

[Name: Olivia Redwood]

[Age: 19 Years]

[Sex: Female]

[Species: Human]

[Potential: 15/53]

[Determination: 46]

[Cultivation Speed: 76]

[Loyalty: 88]

[Talent: Pipa Playing, Cooking, Painting]

[Ability: Flame Rotating Palm (Earth), Redwood Swordsmanship Level 1 (Sky), Silk Body Stance (Earth), Phoenix Destroying Punch (Man), Star Shooting Finger (Man).]

Trevon thought that even if Redwood family considered Olivia to be married to a bigger influence for connection. They should check their other young masters. Trevon saw another Redwood spoiled young master with better potential.

[Name: Oliver Redwood]

[Age: 29 Years]

[Sex: Male]

[Species: Human]

[Potential: 18/57]

[Determination: 26]

[Cultivation Speed: 46]

[Loyalty: 68]

Trevon didn't care about checking his talent or abilities. He rarely checked that 2 information lately. Perhaps, except when he wanted to look into an interesting person.

When he saw those old powerful grandmas or grandpas, he would see a very tall panel. This was especially the ability panel. Sometimes it reached 2 floors-high. Master Rabbink always loved when he looked into that tall panel. Trevon didn't know why.

"Not everyone has your ability." Master Rabbink explained. "Only a God could see one's talent in such exact way."

Trevon agreed with Master Rabbink's explanation. He didn't feel threatened with this so-called genius young master anymore.

"Good Night, Sister." Leon went to Olivia. Leon didn't like this political party. He preferred to cultivate in seclusion. This was because he needed to quickly reach Rank 3 so he could have more influence on the family.

[That Jacob truly made a lot problem.] Leon thought. He was forced to celebrate his rank ascending because of that spoiled young master. Jacob's action made some distrusts in other medium families in Redwood.

However, Leon's smile grew brighter when he saw a beautiful lady next to Olivia.

"Olivia greets Elder Brother Leon." Olivia greeted Leon.

"Who is this beautiful lady next to you? Is she your friend?" Leon asked about Raina.

"Oh, she is my friend Raina McArthur. We meet in the academy."

"Raina greets Young Master Leon." Raina politely greeted Leon. While she was a McArthur chosen, this Leon was also Redwood chosen. He was even the main chosen for his age group. Leon was considered the best descendant of Redwood Family in 50 years.

"I have heard about your talent." Leon praised Raina. He felt this girl was very beautiful. [Unfortunately, she is a McArthur.] Leon regretted a bit.

Leon had heard McArthur often birthed beautiful young masters and ladies. While the chance of getting Raina, a McArthur chosen, to be his wife was small, he still had a little chance. That was If he managed to become Redwood family leader. Even the McArthur family would agree to his request for marriage as long as Raina wanted it.

"How about I invited you for a sword dance?" Leon asked Raina. While asking for a dance was too bold, sword dance was a small fight. It was a custom to ask for a pointer at a party event. "I promised I will reduce my power to your cultivation." He smiled.

"Unfortunately, Raina is not confident of my sword dance." Raina evaded the request. She had received some etiquette training from the family on how to reject important young masters.

[I don't believe you.] Trevon commented in his heart. He always lost to this beautiful cousin of him.

"Fine, then allow me to present you a sword dance." Leon smiled. He went to the central room. People gave a space for him.

[He didn't even look into me. I have played some songs at your party. Should you, at last, thank me?] Trevon complained in his heart. He looked into Raina's face. [She shows some interest?] Trevon didn't want to believe.

"Sis, this young master is a dupe." Trevon whispered. Trevon didn't want his cousin to be with such a jerk old man.

"What do you know? He is Redwood main chosen. He is far better than you."

"He is far weaker than our family main chosen." Trevon didn't want to lose. [Spoiled young master is versus another spoiled young master. If you want to compare me with a chosen, that is wrong!] He screamed in his heart.

"..." Raina didn't refute. She remembered the monster genius in their age group.

"Even my father was 13 years younger than him when he reached Rank 2." Trevon whispered again.

"He is 49 years old?" Raina didn't know about this. She started to lose her interest in the man. While the difference of hundreds of years was common for cultivators. She was only 17 years old this year. This man was almost 3 times her age.

"Yes. Even I would surpass him if I have another 34 years. Can you imagine being with a man weaker than a spoiled young master like me?" Trevon proudly declared his spoiled young master status.

"Who wanted to be with you?" Raina complained. "I have tried to find a date for you, but all my female friends rejected you."

"Eh?" Trevon didn't know whether he felt happy or sad. He was happy his fierce cousin cared about his love life. [However, why she needed to say all rejected me.] He complained in his heart.

The man in the center of the room kept dancing with the sword.

"The dancing is boring." Master Rabbink said.

[Good Rabbink!] Trevon liked this comment from Master Rabbink. [I will give you more foods next time.]

"But he is still far better than you." Master Rabbink said.

[You... I removed the offers. Hmph!!!] Trevon had never studied Sword Dancing. That thing wasn't popular in a pleasure house.

"How about you competed with him? If you win I will give some clue to the Golden Elves again."

[How about you give me a clue about Crystal Fox Demon?]

"You still couldn't meet with those foxes. If you managed to reach Rank 4, I will tell you about them."

[Why I do need to reach Rank 4?]

"Then beat him in sword dance. I will tell you why." Master Rabbink decided to give the clue about Crystal Fox Demon.

Trevon looked into the young master who kept dancing in the center of the room. He couldn't find any way to beat him. [There must be a way.] Trevon started to think a method. Nobody was all powerful.

Master Rabbink smirked.

Trevon only stared to the Rabbink before returning to the man in the middle of the room. He tried to compare his advantages and this so-called genius. [He had a higher rank than me. What do I have?]

Leon finally ended his dance. "Is there anyone who wanted to dance with me?"

A young master from the Redwood's vassal family entered the stage. "Congratulations Elder Brother Leon for your rank up! I, Pedro Vallen, humbly interested to trade a few moves with Elder Brother."

"Good Courage." Leon accepted the challenge. "I will follow your cultivation level. What is your level Younger Brother?"

"I was lazy, I am only in Top Rank 1." The young master named Pedro answered.

"That is a great effort, Brother Pedro." Leon started to turn his sword. He reduced the strength to balance with his opponent.

Leon started with a thrust, however, his opponent managed to parry him. No matter what in a sword dance, both dancers needed to give each other face. He wouldn't quickly defeat his opponent.

After they trade 10 moves, Leon quickly increased his tempo. He quickly took the tempo. He sent another slash close to the opponent's right arm.

Pedro quickly jumped backward. He countered with his own parry before quickly sent a thrust from his parry.

"Good move." Leon could appreciate the movement. He quickly dodged the thrust. He sent his sword to parry the possible slash, and with his left hand, Leon pushed the fuller part of his opponent's sword.

Without the danger of the sword, Leon quickly flicked his sword to arrive in front of the opponent's neck.

"Thank you for your pointer, Elder Brother Leon." The young master accepted his loss.

"Thank you for your dance Younger Brother Pedro. Please tell your father, I believe Vallen family will have another great warrior in 10 years." Leon gave some praise to the young man.

People clapped for both dancers. Sword dance was a special performance that rarely shown in a common party. Nevertheless, it was a sign of a powerful host. Only strong family dared to open a sword dance area. This was the matter of family prestige.

He then turned into the crowd. "Anyone else would accompany me in sword dancing?"

Another young master appeared. He was also another vassal family member. Leon also needed to reduce his cultivation. However, he was very confident in his swordsmanship.

They danced for a few minutes. After they trade 10 moves, Leon quickly increased his tempo. He also beautifully dodged his opponent's sword before he stopped a slash in front of his opponent's neck.

"Good Move." Leon gave his praise. He didn't actually praise his opponent, but as the host, he needed to protect his quest face.

"Elder Brother movements are very beautiful. I learned a lot from, Elder Brother."

[Heh! I can win.] Trevon believed there was something that he was stronger than this young Master.

"How?"

[Just you wait!]

Leon felt he could continue. He took 9 more dances.

"Thank you for elder brother pointer." His last opponent gave a praise.

"Look how cool Young Master Leon is!" The girl who had fallen into Trevon play was saved by Leon beautiful swordplay.

"Music is just for entertainment. Sword is the real power." Another young master declared. His girlfriend had just praised Trevon so much.

"How manly Young Master Leon." Another lady felt her feet turned into jelly.

"He is the real man, the one who could give safety to his family. Every girl would love to be his wife." A lady also felt her flower cried even louder.

[Hmph... This is the time.] Trevon thought. He saw Leon started to perspire. While he didn't need to use power, he needed to control his strength. He also needed to maximize his movement to beat the opponent with the same cultivation. Doing it 10 times in a row wasn't easy.

[I should end it now.] Leon was about to request some time to change his robe before a young man jumped into the area.

"Congratulations for Young Master Leon rank up. My name is Trevon McArthur. I hope I could learn one or two moves from you." Trevon arrived in the area. He took his fan out and fanned himself.

Leon really wanted to reject the challenge. He actually could use some excuse since he had fought 10 times in a row. However, he heard an elder spoke to him using a spiritual sense. [Beat him! Let people know our family young master could defeat a McArthur young master. Do not worry he is only a spoiled young master!]

The Redwood family was pressed by other families in Redwood to share some defensive duties to McArthur family. This would mean McArthur could control more resources in the city. Since they had the hostage accident, they lost a Rank 2 elder, and even their most powerful Rank 3 elder received some injury.

[Fine, Elder.] Leon knew he couldn't reject the order. He looked into the handsome young master in front of him. [He is so thin.] Leon thought. He had seen the young master before. He thought it was a fan or even a boytoy of Raina.

If Trevon knew what Leon thought, he would quickly protest. He would never dare to be a boytoy of Raina. That equaled looking for a death God for him.

Leon took his sword. [Do I have to defeat him in the first move?] Leon asked the elder.

[Just give him 10 like others. We still need to give McArthur family some face.]

Trevon quickly put his fan into his ring. [Remember your promise, Master Rabbink!]

"..." Master Rabbink couldn't believe Trevon shamelessness. His opponent wasn't in his peak condition.

"I have just learned some sword movement from my father. So, before I showed my movements, I hope Elder Brother could be understanding if I accidentally hurt you." Trevon said.

Leon felt irked. [There is no way I will be hurt by such a spoiled young master like you.]

"No worries, Younger Brother. What is your cultivation level?" He asked Trevon.

"I am still in Beginner Rank 1." Trevon laughed. He showed an embarrassed face. The crowds started to judge that Trevon was just a common spoiled young master. He was even slower than some young master in their family.

[You!] Raina wanted to scream that Trevon was already a Middle Rank 1. However, she remembered her father's order to keep it secret.

"What a shameless boy!" Master Rabbink complained.

[You just asked me to defeat him in a sword dance. You don't ask me for being fair and square.]

"..." Leon was speechless. He needed to control his power so much. From Primary Rank 2 to Beginner Rank 1.

[This will be easy.] He thought. While he needed to use more control, this showed that Trevon didn't have much talent. "Take your sword, young brother!"

Trevon quickly took his sword. He only had 1 sword anyway. The Rabbink turned all the rest into dust.

'Dark Demon Slayer' was finally used by Trevon. He had tried it in his universe a few times. This was the first time he used it in a fight.

"What is that sword?" A young lady didn't like the sword design.

"It is ugly. I thought he would show a beautiful sword." Another lady said.

"..." However, Leon could feel some pressures. He was a family chosen anyway. [This sword is not normal. Perhaps it is as good as my sword.] Leon himself had a Sky level sword.

"Let's start!" Trevon started an attack. He sent a normal slash. However, it was very sloppy.

"Eh?" Leon was surprised in the wrong way. He just sidestepped a bit.

"Good move!" Trevon shouted. Unlike his attack, Trevon was very quick in retreat.

[What is a good move? This stinky young master.] Raina felt very wrong. That movement totally destroying their family image.

She would need to present some performance on the stage to save their family's face if this kept going.

[Why didn't show your father sword arts? He was one of the sword geniuses in our family.] Raina complained in her heart. She used to be confident Trevon could show some decent movement. [At worst, uncle Alvaro must have taught him something, right?] She started to doubt her own opinion.

"What technique is that?" Master Rabbink was incensed. [Thank Me, O Rabbink God! He had never kowtowed to me.] It would die of embarrassment if his student moved that sloppy.

[Just wait, Rabbink! This is a wolf in sheep's clothing technique.]

Trevon sent another slow thrust.

"..." Leon was very confused. This was below worse. He didn't need to parry. [How I could save McArthur face? I would lose my face if I need 10 moves.]

Trevon quickly ran again. It was very fast. He sent another slash to Leon's feet.

[Should I jump?] Leon was confused it was a slow movement. He could just sidestep the movement. However, he decided to play along. He jumped and pretended to attack.

However, Trevon quickly rolled to the other side.

[He is very quick in running away.] Leon thought. They had just traded 3 movements. He believed he could use Trevon for rest. [If I managed to reach 15 fights in a row. My fame will increase.] Leon started to relax his body.

Leon lazily blocked Trevon's attack.

[Hehehe.] Trevon was happy, this was the first time their sword connected. He found his 'Dark Demon Slayer' was very powerful. He could see the nick in Leon sword. He sent another sloppy attack which easily parried by Leon.

"This time I will be serious!" Trevon smiled.

[If you are bad, then you are bad.] Leon smiled back.

Trevon quickly channeled his spiritual energy to his sword. This activated the inscription inside 'Dark Demon Slayer'. The inscription inside Dark Demon Slayer sword had many uses. However, he was told by the Rabbink to active only 1 at his current level. It was dangerous.

Trevon activated the charging effect. It would store some spiritual energy for one great usage.

He quickly moved several steps. This was the movement technique that his father, Alvaro planted in his muscle memory. This was Alvaro's self-modified martial art, Roaring Eagle Sword Combination 1st level.

Trevon was pressured by his father to reach Star level in mastery or he wouldn't be allowed to visit the pleasure house. In this skill, he was even better than Jack. This was the skill which becomes one of the reasons many guards wanted to work for Alvaro.

The first stance was a slash. Trevon quickly slashed from left to right, he used the charging effect of the Dark Demon Slayer. Leon was unprepared, he thought it would be another sloppy attack. He wanted to complain, but Trevon already warned him that he would get serious. [Do you need to be real? I thought it was a joke.]

Leon's sword was thrown by the attack. It was a very powerful and quick slash.

Leon was surprised that he lost his sword just from 1 slash. He didn't find Trevon's aura higher than Beginner Rank 1. However, the power in this slash was even higher than his Rank 2 power.

Trevon quickly slashed the sword back to Leon's neck. He stopped the sword right before he slashed Leon.

"Thank you, Elder Brother for going easy for me!" Trevon laughed. He acted embarrassed.

People were still shocked. Leon was famous for his swordsmanship. [This spoiled young master manages to beat this Leon?] They couldn't say that Leon was unprepared. Trevon had already said that he would be serious.

"Good sword!" Leon could only say that. He wanted to save his face a bit. [I should make this sword as the reason I lose.]

"Could I see your sword brother Trevon?" Leon acted as that the loss was not a big deal. He tried to instill that he planned the defeat. He showed his biggest smile.

"Hahaha! Of course!" Trevon could reject the request. This was a big chance to show-off.

It was also a friendly exchange. Redwood Family wouldn't dare to make a movement for such a sword in public. If they dared, McArthur family could use that as an excuse to request even more treasures from Redwood. After this publication, nobody in Redwood would dare to steal the sword from him.

"This sword called 'Dark Demon Slayer'." Trevon proudly declared the sword name.

"Did you hear Young Master Leon's word? The sword is very special!" A young master said.

Leon took the sword. Although he realized during the fight that the sword was good, Leon didn't believe it would be even better than his sword. However, it was a difference when the sword was in his hand.

While Leon checked the sword, he realized something more. It was an artifact.

"This is an artifact." Leon shocked.

"Hahaha, brother Leon has good eyes." Trevon even smugger. "I have an appraiser suggested the price for 1 million spirit stones. Are you interested?" Trevon bragged even more. [If I could sell this for 1 million, I wouldn't need to care about spirit stones.]

"Do you hear that? It is a million spirit stones artifact."

"I have never seen weapon artifact before."

"What a great family!" Some young master envied the McArthur family.

"There is only a weapon artifact in my family. My great great great grandfather was the one who could use that artifact."

"He really comes from McArthur. Great Family was different."

Trevon also could see some girls' eyes were shining. Most of them had never seen 1 million spirit stones in their life. Even Trevon the number 1 spoiled young master of a great family had less than one hundred thousand spirit stones after saving for 7 years. He even used secret money from his father for most of his expenses.

Trevon looked into those fascinated young ladies' faces and those envied faces of those young masters. Even Raina was shocked to know Trevon had such a powerful sword. [Hahaha.] He felt proud.

However, Trevon couldn't keep his smug.

"TUIT... TUIT... TUIT..."

[No... I forgot to press the Troublemeter today.] Trevon finally remembered what he forgot today.

"DUAAAAAR!!!" Trevon felt someone took him away from the building.
