17 Chapter 17

Back at the inn

-------------------------

Cyrus is currently lying in the bed he slept in for the past few months. William spend all day staying with Cyrus so he could satiate his curiosity.

''Ugh''

Cyrus slowly opened his eyes only to see the same ceiling as the past few months. ''Kid, it seems like you have a fetish to fight till you faint, you won't live long like that'' William was laughing his ass off he almost fell off his chair clutching his stomach. ''HAHAHA''

Cyrus sat up straight. William stopped laughing after several minutes, and with a serious face, he finally asked what was on his mind. ''What type of Intent did you comprehend?''

Cyrus did not hesitate and closed his eyes and started to radiate with a sharp aura that wanted nothing more than pierce the sky. An aura that gave you the feeling that an overlord was standing in front of you.

Normally a person would feel that they were becoming weaker because of the pressure intent gave them. A person without Intent experiences an oppressive feeling that makes you sluggish, that happens because Intent is also a mind attack that makes you lose the will to fight or resist.

'Spear intent, that is great I was originally planning to make him achieve this. But what is the other one, I could not feel what type it was'

''Bzzz''

An aura of vigor and valor radiated from Cyrus as if his body was full of strength that could flatten mountains.

'Strength Intent, I thought only those sweaty monkeys could comprehend this Intent, it is not that surprising as he also cultivates his body'

William finally got the answers he was looking for, at least a part of them. ''Cyrus try to combine the two Intents''

Cyrus nodded his head and did as he was told. He raised both his hands and a wisp of intent appeared on them. Both the Intents radiated from Cyrus as he tried to combine the two, the two Intents repelled each other and refused to be merged. Cyrus forced the merge and...

''No, Cyrus don't force it''

''Boom''

An explosion right in his face, William intervened right in time or Cyrus would be crippelled by the explosion from the failed merger.

''You are lucky that I was close to you or you would have died, at least you are not hurt''

Even though Cyrus did not get hurt the floor he was staying on was not as fortunate as there was no unscathed place to be seen. And a hole could be seen from the outside of the inn directly showing Cyrus and William.

''The inn manager is going to hate us more for this, HAHAHAHA'' Said Will with a dry laugh.

-----------------------------------

1 week later

Cyrus donned the clothes that William bought for him and left his room to meet him in the marketplace in the outer area of the city. Most Cities in the world are divided into three areas.

In the outer area where the commoners live and merchants sell their weirs, the outer area took more than half the city as most people lived here. The inner area where the nobles and the rich lived was only as big as half the outer area. And as last the core area where the city lord lives with his family is only as big as thirty percent of the inner area.

In the Lavar continent, Cyrus is living in this system is followed by every kingdom and sole empire.

''Cyrus come over here'' Shouted Will to Cyrus after seeing Cyrus standing still in the middle of the market. Will was standing in front of a bulletin board with a striking poster.

''Cyrus, the city lord is holding a competition for the younger generation to see who is the strongest, do you wanna join?''

Cyrus shook his head as he was not interested in a meaningless competition for kids, forgetting he is also a kid.

''Too bad, I already registered you for the competition, HAHAHAHAHA'' Said William with a smug face asking to be beaten up.

William saw Cyrus frown so he added.'' I am sure the prize will interest you in this competition'' Seeing Cyrus finally show some interest William thought' What a materialistic child' and scolded Cyrus in his mind.

''The prize is... a spatial ring and not even a low-grade one but a middle-grade one it is twice as big as a low-grade one.

Cyrus showed a surprised and fascinated face as he was interested ever since he saw what it could do in the cave with Julia and Jonathan, by winning he might finally have his one.

''HAHAHAHAHA, that's the spirit, win and the prize is yours'' William started to understand his Junior Apprentice.

''Okay, the competition starts in an hour''

'I really wanna beat him up, and I will when I become stronger' Is what Cyrus was thinking while going back to the inn to start preparing.
