Chapter 27: Foolish Man
“What does that mean?”
Ron looked at Lilia in confusion.
At that moment, the situation changed once again.
Dreyer, who was already in front of Shu Ke, suddenly disappeared.
‘Thunderbolt Steps? He actually learned such a complex Dou technique…’
Ron originally wanted to comment about Dreyer’s talent in Dou techniques, but when he thought of Shu Ke, he did not say it out loud.
After all, no matter how complicated the Thunderbolt Steps was, it was not as troublesome as the Wolf Sword Technique.
Among the people he had seen so far, there were very few people who could compare to Shu Ke’s talent in Dou techniques.
If Shu Ke learned the Wolf Sword Technique: Wolf Heart, then he would be the only Dou technique prodigy Ron had ever seen!
‘This kid has taken a shortcut with the Thunderbolt Steps. Once he has decided on an offensive route, he can’t change it. I’m afraid that something will happen in this battle.’
Lilia watched as if she was enjoying the show, causing Ron to be speechless.
However, there was also the anticipation in his heart.
It would be good for Shu Ke to win.
“Look, an accident happened.”
Lilia pointed, only to see a figure appear in front of Shu Ke’s vertical blade. Dreyer was an idiot, he actually crashed into Shu Ke’s blade.
The sharp blade directly pierced through his shoulder, and because of the intense pain, he stopped attacking and immediately jumped back.
“Wha—”
“What’s going on! ?”
“Why did Dreyer crash into Shu Ke’s sword on his own?”
Everyone was stunned. Wasn’t this a little bizarre?
Dreyer, who was already on the verge of victory, suddenly crashed into Shu Ke’s sword. If they did not know about the bad blood between the two, they wouldn’t have suspected that Dreyer was deliberately faking it.
“See, I told you that there would definitely be some changes in this battle.”
Lilia said as she licked her red lips. Her flawless face revealed a smile that seemed like she had got away with an evil scheme.
This alluring scene started a fire in Ron’s heart. He could only quickly shift his gaze to the side and ignore Lilia’s face.
“How did you know?!”
The one who was the most surprised in the crowd was Dreyer.
He was looking at Shu Ke in shock. He covered his shoulder with one hand and put up his guard with the other hand.
Dreyer had planned it flawlessly. How did Shu Ke know that he was going to attack from that direction so early on?
And how did he know that his Thunderbolt Steps actually had flaws and lacked the flexibility to speed up?
Shu Ke did not respond to this. He closed his eyes and quietly waited for Dreyer’s next attack.
“There’s definitely something wrong here. This person is not Shu Ke. I want to carry out an ancestry test with him!”
Seeing that his grandson was injured, the great elder stood up hurriedly and said to Ron and the others, “Shu Ke was just a piece of trash who didn’t know how to cultivate a month ago. Now, you tell me he uses the strength of a low-tier Dou Master to defeat a high-tier Dou Master?! This is illogical!”
“I suspect that he’s not Shu Ke. Maybe he made a deal with the devil!”
The devil was a terrifying existence that would use sweet words, power, and strength to tempt others and sign a deal with them.
He is the greatest enemy of the Gods.
It was normal for one to undergo such an earth-shattering change within a month if he made a deal with the devil.
This was because one would exchange his soul as payment. The power and experience they borrow from the devil have to be repaid with double the amount.
In the past, there has been an instance of ordinary people becoming Dou Grandmasters or even killing Dou Spirits within a month.
Without a doubt, these were the people who traded their souls with the devil. Some of them even had their bodies taken over by demons, which was why they became so powerful.
That was why the crowd supported the great elder’s words.
“That’s right!”
“How did a piece of trash like him become so powerful within a month?”
“There must be something behind it!”
“We have to investigate and forfeit Shu Ke’s results!”
No one was willing to admit that they were worse than the trash who had been trampled under their feet before that.
Therefore, after they heard what the great elder had said, they all stood up to support him.
“Did Shu Ke really trained for only three months?!”
At first, they thought that this was just an exaggerated statement, but now Ron could not help but feel a little suspicious. In a month’s time, he was able to become a Dou Master, and successfully comprehended the core Dou technique of the Wolf Sword Technique.
This was a little terrifying. He had never heard of such a prodigy in his entire life, let alone see it with his own two eyes!
“Did you hear that? You demon! When ancestry test starts, even if you are not a demon, you will only be a demon!”
Listening to everyone’s denunciation of Shu Ke, Dreyer laughed out loud.
He looked at Shu Ke excitedly, as if he had already seen Shu Ke being burnt at the stake with Holy Fire.
As soon as he imagined this scene, Dreyer felt at peace.
He felt really good.
However, he seemed to have forgotten something very important.
“Dreyer, it’s too early to be happy.”
“What do you mean?”
Dreyer looked at Shu Ke with confusion. At that time, Shu Ke was not in a hurry to defend himself. Instead, he was talking nonsense. Wasn’t he seeking death?
However, Dreyer did not think too much about it because his grandfather was the great elder. No matter what Shu Ke did, he could not escape death!
He was just a piece of trash, and he dared to be so arrogant? It seemed like he really wanted death.
“Our duel is not over yet.”
Suddenly, Shu Ke opened his eyes abruptly. A cold killer look fell on Dreyer, and he could not help but feel a chill all over his body.
“This is not good!”
Ron and the others immediately understood what Shu Ke was trying to do. They tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Shu Ke turned into a shadow and rushed towards Dreyer.
“Shu Ke, don’t be rash!”
“Shu Ke, if you touch my grandson, I’ll shred you to pieces and you’ll die a hard death!!”
The great elder rushed toward the arena like a madman.
The other people looked at this scene in shock. Didn’t he hear what the great elder said?
How did he dare to do such a thing?!
However, it was already too late. Shu Ke’s sword had already pierced through Dreyer.
