“Reuben?” Bu's expression darkened as he landed and turned to look towards the valley entrance.
“It’s you, Brent.” Upon recognizing Bu, Reuben was somewhat surprised and involuntarily halted his steps, frowning. The man and woman beside him also looked surprised, regarding Bu with a hint of wariness and hostility.
“You, is this Misty Cloud Grass yours?” Bu smirked, his gaze slanting towards Reuben, his tone revealing no emotion.
Reuben's eyes turned cold as he scoffed, “Anything I see can be mine if I want it. Do you have any objections?”
After his words, the man and woman beside him echoed in agreement.
“Brent, among the newcomers, your reputation is the highest. However, I wonder if that reputation is deserved. In terms of strength and qualifications, you don’t even compare to me. What face do you have to compete with Reuben for the title of Rookie King? Even this Misty Cloud Grass, you must obediently hand it over to us.”
“Hmph, a name-dropper like you with only Intermediate Level strength dares to act tough in front of us? Let me show you where the gap lies between us. It’s just a matter of fighting above your level; anyone can do that.”
The man and woman spoke with sharp tongues, and in the end, they both suddenly charged forward, two sword shadows flying towards Bu, aiming for his vital points.
“Ha, where’s the gap?” With a cold laugh, Bu showed no intention of using his Nine Dragon Spear. He lightly stepped on the ground and deftly dodged a sword light. Immediately after, dark light flickered as a fierce wind surged against the two swords thrusting at him. Bu Shuang clawed down fiercely.
Clang! Clang! The sharp blades were completely caught by Bu with both hands, held tightly. The fluctuating Dark Radiance, shrouded in a thin layer of mist, eroded the sharp Sword Aura on the blades. Using water-based energy to execute Furious Cloud Palm, its power was terrifying.
“Break!” With a low shout, as the expressions of the man and woman changed drastically, Bu Shuang exerted force with both hands. There were two explosive sounds as the two swords belonging to the Excellence Level were forcibly snapped in half.
Reuben’s pupils slightly constricted upon seeing the situation turn unfavorable. He quickly stepped forward to assist but at that moment, Bu grinned coldly, flipping his palms upward as if summoning a dragon from the wild, striking with unparalleled speed at the bodies of the man and woman who could not evade.
Boom!
With a power value exceeding eighty points, this strike from Bu reached nearly ten thousand pounds of force due to its incredible speed. The man and woman had no chance to resist; they were directly pierced through their bodies by Bu's attack, their shattered insides splattering blood as they screamed and flew backward.
"Son of a bitch," Reuben roared, and in an instant, a Golden Blade appeared in his hand. He swung it down fiercely towards Bu's head, the violent energy forming a sharp Blade Light that severed a strand of Bu's hair before even reaching him.
Bu's gaze was icy, showing no signs of weakness. As his palms moved swiftly, a series of sounds echoed as he deflected all attacks aimed at the side of Reuben's descending Golden Blade, breaking the fierce momentum of the strike.
"Flying Cloud Slash!"
With one failed strike, Reuben did not hesitate. Changing his attack, he unleashed a series of horizontal cuts as he descended, the powerful blade winds carving deep grooves into the ground, creating an impressive spectacle.
"Moonset and Starfall!"
Faced with such a sharp onslaught, Bu did not dare to be careless. The Nine Dragon Spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and in an instant, he thrust it forward with incredible speed, leaving behind a series of afterimages. The sound of breaking air only erupted after the spear had already passed.
This thrust moved like a meteor and struck with the force of thunder, piercing through the void and crashing against Reuben's incoming blade lights.
The thunderous roar echoed like rolling thunder as several blade lights shattered in response. Reuben's expression turned to one of shock; his pupils nearly shrank to pinpricks. The situation was dire; he had no time to change tactics again. Faced with Bu's incredibly swift thrust, he could only brace himself for impact—there was no time to evade.
As he saw the thunderous thrust about to pierce his body, Reuben bellowed fiercely. His muscles suddenly bulged, tearing through his clothing. A Bright Silver Shield flickered into existence and spun out to block the lethal thrust.
Thud!
There was no explosive sound; instead, the sharp tip of the spear struck the Bright Silver Shield with a muffled thud. A strange recoil force erupted suddenly, nearly shattering Bu's wrist joint. Nevertheless, the thrust still smashed through the Bright Silver Shield and embedded itself into Reuben's bulging chest.
With a spearhead made from two taels of hardened metal, its sharpness could easily pierce through even a steel plate with just a light thrust. For an ordinary person, it would be fatal unless they possessed physical strength comparable to Bu’s—having reached the stage of iron skin and bone—otherwise, it would undoubtedly penetrate completely.
However, what followed next was an unexpected scene.
The tip of the Nine Dragon Spear pierced deeply into Reuben's chest. Despite the force being significantly weakened by an unknown bright silver shield, the remaining power combined with the sharpness of the spearhead meant that it was a miracle Reuben wasn't instantly incapacitated. However, given the current situation, aside from the skin and muscle on his chest being penetrated, there were no serious wounds, and not a drop of blood had even flowed out.
"Hmm?" Bu Mei furrowed his brow, feeling as if the spear hadn't struck flesh but rather a steel plate. Just as he was about to exert more force to stab again, Reuben stomped hard on the ground and shot backward like a cannonball.
"At this point, you still want to escape?" Bu Leng laughed, raising his gun and sprinting after him. With his speed, he completely overwhelmed Reuben and had no worries about him getting away.
However, after just a couple of steps, a sharp sound of slicing wind suddenly reached his ears.
Bu's vision blurred for a moment as a shadow shot toward him at incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it was almost upon him. Startled, Bu swung his gun horizontally and struck the shadow hard, but it felt as if he had collided with an iron ball, producing a metallic clang.
"What is that thing?" Just as he was about to get a clearer look at the shadow, he realized Reuben had already run far away. Bu didn't bother with the shadow anymore and prepared to chase after Reuben again. But at that moment, the shadow that had been knocked away suddenly attacked again, moving even faster than before, almost transforming into a black streak of light.
With killing intent flashing in his eyes, Bu aimed at the slender shadow and fired a shot. Starlight shone brightly, accompanied by a misty hue; he unleashed all his strength in this shot.
Clang!
The spear tip collided with the shadow, sending sparks flying. This time, Bu finally saw what the shadow looked like: it had a pointed mouth and sunken face, its body long and snake-like with eight sharp claws. Its skin was dark and shiny, glimmering with a metallic sheen.
"What is this thing?" The strange Shadow Creature was knocked back again. Curious, Bu Xin noticed that Reuben had vanished from sight and decided against pursuing him further, shifting his attention to the Shadow Creature instead.
Having endured two shots from Bu, one of which had struck directly with its exceptionally sharp tip, this bizarre Shadow Creature fell to the ground far away while making incessant squeaking sounds. Purple-black blood flowed from its long mouth resembling that of a mosquito, spilling onto the ground.
Noticing Bu's approach, this peculiar Shadow Creature struggled to rise from the ground. Its eight claws spread out like those of a centipede, glinting coldly at the edges and incredibly sharp. Its eyes were like green beans filled with hostility and malice as they fixed on Bu, seemingly ready to pounce for another fierce battle at any moment.
Bu keenly observed that on the forehead of this strange Shadow Creature was an unclear mark shaped like a diamond array—mysterious and extraordinary.
"It seems this should be Reuben's Contract Beast. However, aside from its speed being somewhat fast, it doesn't seem to have any special qualities. Reuben's choice is quite lacking in discernment," he thought to himself, glancing at the Shadow Beast and losing interest.
He never considered that if everyone were as abnormal as him, this world would have collapsed long ago.
Clearly at the Intermediate Level, his combat power spanned two major tiers, comparable to an Intermediate Level 5 warrior. If combined with the Crimson Lotus, he could even contend with Quasi-Advanced level fighters.
This Shadow Beast was merely at the Intermediate Level; being able to withstand two of his heavy strikes without dying was indeed remarkable. If an ordinary Intermediate Level warrior faced this Shadow Beast, whether they could survive such swift and sudden attacks was uncertain.
"Well, it's time to collect the spoils." Ignoring the Shadow Beast lying on the ground, baring its teeth, he walked over to the two deceased students—a male and a female—and took their Storage Bracelets without hesitation.
What he didn't know was that just moments ago, as he and Reuben engaged in their fierce battle, the scene of their fight had already been projected onto the Light Barrier in front of Holy Light Academy.
Alongside their battle, three other chaotic fights were also being shown. However, compared to their confrontation, those other battles were significantly less impressive. At least in terms of shock value and visual impact, he easily killed two fellow students of the same level and forced Reuben, who was at Intermediate Level 4, to use all his means and flee in a few rounds.
The explosive display of his combat prowess left everyone stunned. Even those like Van Lao and Sean Sterling, who were already aware of his strength, couldn't help but be amazed. Many others had their jaws nearly drop to the ground.
What kind of prodigy could possess such talent? Such a terrifying figure would surely become a remarkable individual if they did not perish prematurely.
