Start of the Fight

"Dylan! I challenge you to a life-and-death battle! Come out if you're not afraid."

Inside the Warrior Abode of Congyun Mirror. Dylan heard a familiar voice in the open channel. It was like a forum on a website in his previous life. One of the functions of the Congyun Mirror.

"He hates me that much just because the woman he pursues desires me? How laughable." Dylan stood up with a neutral expression. "If he wants to die. So be it."

With a thought, Dylan's body was transported into the life and death arena through the transmission of the Congyun Mirror.

The life and death arena was situated at the East of the city, bordering Jinglain Market and Kenjie's Golden Mine.

This arena was only recently established by the administration of the Congyun Mirror due to the hot-blooded warriors that constantly fight outside which affects normal people.

To prevent this, the life and death arena was thus created. The benefits? Fame resolves enmity and grievances, prevents the normal people outside the world from being affected by the battles of mighty warriors, and actually lessens the emergence of conflicts between the members of the Congyun Mirror.

After all, it was as extreme as life and death! Regardless of benefits, the majority of warriors value their lives. Every issuance of life and death battle is a major event in the Congyun Mirror.

At this moment, two figures appeared inside the arena with the size of 30 feet wide on four sides, made of slabs of white stone. There was a transparent barrier on four sides to prevent the attacks from affecting the audience.

Dylan looked at the warrior that issued the life and death battle with him indifferently.

Wou Yuan from the Yuan Clan. 29 years old this year, level 41 with Wind Paladin as a profession.

Strong in the eyes of others but an ant for Dylan. Even though the latter's level was higher than his. He could fight across levels even without using Space Dominion.

At this moment, green lights appeared on the empty seats arranged like that of a stadium. They were warriors of the alliance in the Congyun Mirror. In just a few minutes, the three thousand seats were completely filled. It could be seen just how popular the event was and how rare life-and-death battles were.

"Who issued a life and death battle this time? This is courting death!" A warrior exclaimed with excitement.

"Shhh... Don't you know? It's Wou Yan!"

"Huh? Brother, who's Wou Yuan. Is he someone significant? Sorry, I don't know him."

"Well, he is from the Yuan Clan in the Aztharoth Kingdom. One of the allies of the Grand Zhou Kingdom. It was well known that the Yuan Clan sought refuge in the Grand Zhou Kingdom and became a top clan."

"I see..."

A warrior excitedly spoke at this time. "Long story short. Wou Yuan has been known to be Princess Azeila's suitor for years now. Who doesn't know how beautiful big sister Azeila is? Not to mention, her background and talent!"

"What background and talent? It's those plump thighs and heavenly mounds on his chest. His beauty is like that of a fairy that descended on the mortal world." Another warrior, with the level of 46, said with desire.

"I really don't care about Azeila's feelings about me. Are you sure you want to give up your life for this?" With traces of indifference, Dylan's eyes narrowed.

Wou Yuan stared at Dylan, blinded in hatred. "Impossible! Who doesn't desire her? She is mine! I must eliminate you no matter what."

"I don't even know why she likes me. I think she doesn't really like me. She knew my strength. She just wants to use me to eliminate her persistent suitors like you." Dylan saw through Azeila's intentions just as it began. 'She dared to use me as a chess piece. I'll make sure that she would know the consequences of doing so. I'm not a piece of the board. But one of the players.'

Dylan looked beyond the stage and saw a lot of senior brothers and senior sisters watching. 'T-this am I famous now?' then he quickly shook his head. He knew that he wasn't famous. It was the life and death event itself that was famous.

In a life-and-death battle. There was no referee. All means can be used to kill your enemy.

At this moment, Wou Yuan took the initiative. Five swords came out of his storage. The five swords were floating around him in circles.

"This is the first time I saw someone use wind technique to control weapons. This Wou Yuan is good!" Someone in the audience commented which made the others around him nod their heads.

With a bit of manipulation, Wou Yuan made a hand gesture and with fingers pointed at Dylan, he shouted passionately. "I'll show Princess Azeila who is worthy between the two of us. Her judgement is wrong. I'm the one destined for her."

"I think you need help up here." Dylan pointed at his head. "I don't like talking with an idiot like you. That girl has nothing to do with me."

"Bastard! Who are you calling idiot!?"

The swords turned to Dylan one after another. With just a glance, he could determine that half of them were silver quality while the rest were peak bronze quality.

Wou Yuan used his profession skill, and the air gathered at the hilt of the five swords and pushed them to the extreme. With the help of the force borrowed from the air, it causes the swords to accelerate into a streak of white lights.

'He indeed has capabilities. With such talent, he has a bright future ahead of him. It's a pity that he was bewitched by a woman...' With the activation of Fly and Torrent. Dylan's body became significantly lighter.

Torrent was one of the skills he got from the Black Bull that doubled his strength, speed, and durability. Blue aura shrouded his body from head to toe.

'Indeed. This guy is a prime example of women would only slow down the speed at which you draw your sword. One must focus on their goal. Do not chase butterflies. Instead, build your own beautiful garden, and the butterflies will naturally come to you."

A glint of wisdom appeared in Dylan's eyes.
