Those who came out from the back to watch the show gasped instantly.A man clad in white linen slowly turned, standing in the shadows of the entrance. His clothes seemed quite plain; he had a gentle look on his face, and he didn’t seem that tall.However, he looked as if the entire world revolved around him by just standing there.He seemed to have blended with the sky completely. If Harvey didn’t say anything, nobody would’ve known of his existence.Aryan smiled before showing a haughty look on his face.“Let me introduce you, Sir York.“This is a master of the Island Nations who came to exchange teachings with the Aenar Temple—Takai Kawashima!“Mr. Takai is an outstanding man in the martial arts world. His achievements are simply impressive!“He lost against the Great Wall by a single move… But he still looked up to Mr. Takai even so!“Given time, he’ll be considered one of the top ten talents of the Island Nations!”Everyone gasped.Power meant everything to the people of
Everyone gasped after seeing Takai’s slap.Only the experienced ones would understand what happened. By condensing his aura and launching it forward, that was how he slapped Asher.Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to learn something like this. Judging from that move alone, Takai’s training and talent were on another level.“Interesting.”Harvey chuckled.“People of the Island Nations put their swordsmanship first; the samurais there are no different.“But you actually managed to learn something like this. It’s not perfect, but it’s enough to tell that you’ve learned a lot.“Still, people like you have one thing in common: you’re a master of none.“Am I wrong?”Takai raised his head to look at Harvey, smiling faintly.“You talk like you know your stuff, kid. That said, it can’t hide the fear in your heart.“You know full well… That you can’t even get close to me.“I looked into you just now. You managed to take down Henrik’s disciple, making others think that you’re almost o
“It’d be bad to ruin the reputation of the Mandrake Residence…”Harvey looked at Takai, then went to an empty spot outside.“How about this? I’ll fight you with my bare hands. It’d be bad if I destroy the place, after all.”Aryan and the others were speechless. They had never seen such an arrogant show-off in their entire lives.At this moment, the remaining protectors couldn’t help but speak up.“We can’t take this anymore, Master Takai! Let us go at him too! We want this bastard dead!”“No need.” Takai shook his head. “He’ll insult me again once he loses against all of us. He’d only learn his lesson once he suffers a crushing defeat.”Harvey smiled. “I don’t mind you people coming at me.”Takai waved his hand, and a long sword flew straight into his hand.“It’s the Dragon’s Pull! It’s the legendary Dragon’s Pull! Not only can Master Takai release his aura at will, he can bring it back as well!“This is insane!”A huge group of monks were shocked by the sight. After all, bo
“He’s dead! Even an elephant would be cut in half in front of my uncle! Let alone a man!”Nanako scoffed.The Kawashima family’s techniques weren’t the only ones her uncle learned…It’s said that Takai received ancient teachings from somewhere in the Island Nations; he wouldn’t have risen to power so suddenly if that hadn’t been the case.Takai’s strength was comparable to that of a god at this point; not only were his moves extremely flashy, but they were quite powerful as well.Harvey wouldn’t be a challenge even after training for ten years, let alone now!“I told you, flashy moves won’t do anything for you.”Harvey sighed, and flicked his finger.Bam!A loud explosion was heard in the air; the crowd was shocked to see it.Takai’s attack scattered after coming in contact with the explosion Harvey made.Takai’s expression changed slightly, while Harvey wiped his hand with some tissues disdainfully.Aryan, Asher, and the others were filled with disbelief.In their minds,
Harvey didn’t care about Takai’s praise at all.“Another ten years, and you might just get to my level.“Thirty more years, and you might have the right to be enlightened like the Great Wall.“It’s rare for such a big country to have talents like you!“The Island Nations is no different.Takai showed a stern expression.“You’re powerful. If you’re willing, I will sacrifice everything for the sake of your growth.“It’s a shame that a stubborn young man like you will not back down easily.“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to kill you right now to prevent another thorn from disrupting my country decades later.“It’s your greatest honor to die by my blade, kid!”Takai slowly removed his broad robe, revealing his inner garment. At the same time, a terrifying aura seeped out of his body.Nanako, who was filled with shock and regret, slowly calmed down.“Uncle’s about to get serious.”‘What? He wasn’t serious yet?! Is he about to show his true strength?!’Everyone was filled w
Everyone was filled with shock after hearing those words.They didn’t understand what Takai did to be this impressive…but judging from Aryan’s shock, they immediately understood.Nanako crossed her arms, showing a prideful expression.“There are some things that you might not know, Master Aryan.“When my uncle sparred with the Aenar Temple, he only showed ten out of fourteen slashes. He usually wouldn’t use the last four since they were the deadliest.“Even if Harvey’s lucky enough to deal with the first ten slashes… Nobody would be able to go against the last four! He’s dead for sure!”Everyone looked at Harvey with pity; they naturally believed Nanako’s words. Romina and Billie seemed worried, but they wouldn’t dare say a word about it.Takai dragged his long sword on the ground, emitting a trail of sparks, until he finally arrived ten steps in front of Harvey.“Any last words, young man?” he exclaimed coldly.Harvey smiled.“You should tell me yours instead. Your family’s
“You blocked my Raigeki?”Takai was filled with disbelief. He could clearly tell that Harvey only flicked his finger just now. And yet, that simple action was enough to make Takai’s fingers numb.Only the Great Wall was able to make him feel this way before.“Is this little bastard actually on par with the Great Wall in terms of both speed and power? Or am I just underestimating him?”Takai showed an odd expression; after becoming a God of War, he didn’t show it off to anyone else. Rather, he had been constantly training himself. He knew there was still a long way before he could finally be the strongest of all the Gods of War.He needed to train his muscles, speed, concentration of his power, and many more things. Everything needed time…And yet, Harvey managed to block the attack that he took at least two decades to perfect, shocking everyone around him.That said, Takai was an impressive character as well; he took a deep breath before quickly regaining his calm.He held hi
“How is that possible?!”Nanako and the others gasped before they instinctively rubbed their eyes.‘What’s going on? How did Harvey manage to dodge the Twelfth Slash? This is unbelievable!’One of Nanako’s followers couldn’t help but slap himself to make sure that he wasn’t dreaming.Takai’s eyes twitched as well.He didn’t think that Harvey would be so fast, with such strong defenses. More importantly, he had such a keen eye that he saw through the attack’s weak spot instantly.Harvey calmly waved his hand before smoothing out his clothes.“My wife bought this for me, and I like it a lot. I’m a little mad that you’re wrinkling it. Maybe you should kneel as an apology.”“You ignorant bastard! Die!”Takai was instantly enraged by Harvey’s mocking words; he couldn’t remain calm any longer.“Thirteenth Slash, Shiranui!”Takai’s sword looked as if it was burning. The raging fire on the blade seemed like it was about to swallow Harvey whole.“Stay back! Stay back now!”Nanako w
