3rd Stage Genesis Sea Vs 2nd Stage Noble
Ryker eyed his opponent with a calm look, a sneer on his face.
"Surrender, to someone who depend on external help, a pill to reach the Noble realm. You merely ruining your foundation if you did so," he said in contempt.
His superior Soul Sense, even if the opponent have an advantage in a Grand Realm, was able to tell him of how the slender man manage to reach the 2nd Stage of Noble realm.
The slender man had a look of ridicule on his face, "Why should not I? As long as I able to reach the Noble realm, everyone below me would be trash,"
Ryker snorted, before taking his sword out of the sheath, "Is that so? Then let us see if it is true," the slender man did not say any other word, his spear in his hand as the two seize each other up before making a move.
-x-
When the two exchange their move, the crowd let out voice of amazement, even if they were unable to see what happened. After all, when a Spirit Grand Realm cultivator make a move, it would be hard for those with weaker cultivation to see it if they use their top speed.
So, only the upper echelon of the Birak Kingdom, and the rouge cultivators that manage to reach the Noble realm could see the fight. Which cause them to be impressed by one individual.
After all, it is one thing to exchange moves with a Spirit Grand Realm cultivator while at the same Grand Realm. It is another to do so while still being at the Genesis Grand Realm, and not even at the peak of it!
-x-
"His strength, it is terrifying," the Principal admitted. While the fight between Noble experts would not enter his eyes that much unless for those at the peak of the Noble realm, it is different if one of the fighter is below the Noble realm, yet able to exchange moves.
While no one is counting, the Principal estimate they have exchanged nearly a hundred move, with no one able to gain any advantage during the entire time.
He looked with interest, especially at the dual-haired man, "Child, if you manage to hold him for half an hour, then even the Boluron Central University would plead for you to enter the academy,"
-x-
"This is, how can you match against me?!" the slender man roared, trying to push Ryker back, his Noble Tower powering his attack.
The sudden increase in strength cause his to be pushed even more yet Ryker remained calm, using his Genesis Sea to hold his own against the might of the slender man.
Yet, his Genesis Sea alone could not do much. He also used the different manifestation. While the different manifestations had merged with his Genesis Core prior, that does not mean it no longer exist.
Instead, the different manifestations that represented the multitude of Paths he comprehended is now embedded in his Inner Realm, changing along from Core, to Source, and finally, his Genesis Sea.
So, as he used his Genesis Sea, he also pulled out a specific path, namely the Law of Metal to enhance his attack, and Law of Earth to increase his strength. With the two Law, he was able to had his own against the slender man, who began to get frustrated by how long the match took.
'This could not happen!? I should dominate him!' the slender man thought as he began to unleash all of his strength trying to pressure Ryker.
And, while Ryker was sufficiently pressured by the increased in intensity, he was able to adapt to it, blocking and parrying the spear strike of the slender man.
"Why! Won't! You! Die!" he said getting angrier by the second.
"Why should I die?" Ryker answered with contempt, his defense slowly turning into offense, as the slender man began to lose his self of reason.
As he tried to overwhelm him with his strength, Ryker parried one of the attack before doing a quick counter, his attack manage to hurt the other party, even if it is just a nick.
Yet, such little injury seem to push the slender man to the edge. After all, he, a mighty Noble expert, was harmed by a mere Genesis Sea weakling. And he was not even able to hurt the other party, aside from some bruises.
The truth caused him to grow angrier, as he roared, his Noble Tower glowing and absorbing the worldly energy. Ryker eyed the man, his hand on his weapon as he prepared for the next attack.
"I will see you die this time!" the man roared as he gathered his qi into the tip of his spear, the two Noble Tower compressed into an orb before joining in as well.
Without any hesitation, he thrust his spear, planing to destroy the man who he consider as the obstacle to his greatness.
"NO!" both the King and the Grand Duke tried to act, but with how close the two fighters are, there is not much they could do before the attack hit Ryker.
-x-
"NO!" Ina cried out, her clenching hands leaving a dent on the chair. The same reaction was shared by Ryker's other women, shocked and scared for their lover.
-x-
"No," four other women gasped, one who had a black hair, two blondes, and one gray-haired. All of them fearing the worst.
-x-
However, the worst reaction stemmed from younger siblings of Ryker, who all have tears on their eyes.
"Big brother," Ariana said, clearly scared and sad.
"Don't worry, he would be fine, like he always do," Ilina said, though she clearly tried to hard to convince herself.
-x-
The slender man let out a mad laugh, even as his qi reserve was utterly drained by the attack. "I won! I am the strongest!" he said, madness in his tone.
Yet, for some reason, he could not pull the spear. He had a bad premonition, one he did not want to believe. Yet, as the cloud of dust began to drift off, his foe, the one that should be the stepping stone for his path to greatness, eyed him with contempt.
He was badly injured, a hole on his shoulder with blood coming out of his palm. One could even see cracks all over the top of his body, which can be seen as his topwear was destroyed in the attack.
Yet, for some reason, the slender man felt like he was about to die.
"My turn," was the last thing he heard before the glowing shield, the thing that blocked his attack, slashed towards him.
In his weaken state, he could not form a qi barrier, so, he could only let himself hit by the attack, hitting the wall, his consciousness slowly drifting away.
