Chapter 169: Chapter 169- Monsters The Both Of Them

Sol glanced at Yoon-Jae being pinned down before he turned back to look at Byeong-Ho.

He flashed a smile and then said.

"This isn’t how I imagined we’ll have our first real fight. This one definitely doesn’t count brother Byeong-Ho."

Byeong-Ho didn’t respond or react to Sol’s words, he merely stared at him blankly.

Sol didn’t mind and instead shifted his leg back before lifting Heon-Tae’s blade in the air.

When Heon-Tae saw his stance, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets from shock.

"That’s-That’s... That’s my move!"

Golden aura suddenly wafted from the blade in Sol’s hands sending ripples into surroundings.

’I forgot to stretch.’

Sol thought as two loud bangs echoed out.

The two bracelets on his hands fell and his lion-mane-like hair turned golden. He almost resembled a lion in human form.

Mar-Dule’s eyes shone with a bright light but he managed to suppress it right after.

’So I was right, he does have a bloodline. But is it our Barbarian Bloodline like I suspect? This doesn’t look like it.’

With two of his bracelets off, the power of Sol’s blade multiplied severalfold. The golden aura around it also intensified and it seemed as if a second sun had appeared in the world.

Heon-Tae stared at this spectacle with mouth agape.

Sol was unleashing the full potential of his Blade Sovereignty Martial Skill. He knew Sol had the ability to copy Martial Skills with just a glance, but unleashing this level of power when it was his first time using it sent chills down his spine.

"Brat, this is a good learning opportunity, don’t take your eyes off that blade."

Abdu said this, and Heon-Tae nodded with his eyes clued to the Immortal blade in Sol’s hand.

Even if he ended up being blinded from the light it was releasing it would be worth it.

"Thirty-Two Plum Blossom Sword Play, Winter Blossom Strike."

A burst of pink plum blossom petals occurred around Byeong-Ho’s. At the same time, a burst of golden Blade Intent from the blade erupted around.

Heon-Tae trembled because even he was able to call on the Blade Intent left behind in the Immortal blade. It must be the Blade Sovereign Martial Skil! He had to learn it to this level before he could call upon it!

Currently, the colors pink and gold dyed the world and split it into two halves.

"Am I really watching the battle of two Mortal Realm cultivators?"

Ji-Hoon commented, but before anyone could respond, Byeong-Ho’s Sword Intent reached its peak and he swung down his sword.

Pink petals immediately scattered in all directions as a large sword arc filled with the intent to sever the heavens uprooted the ground as it approached Sol.

Sol at he same time brought the Immortal blade down and golden rays exploded in all directions.

A blade arc with the will to hack anything in its path sprung forth to meet Byeong-Ho’s sword arc.

BAAAAANG!!!!

At the point of impact, the blast caused the ground to rise. A shockwave suddenly slammed into everyone’s chest, but luckily Abdu raised his paw and wiggled it to create a protective barrier made of black energy.

It was a type of Aether Energy, but not the kind that any of the boys here recognized.

The impact lasted a few breaths of time before any form of normalcy returned to the surroundings.

As everyone was peering through the cloud of dust, they soon saw two figures walking towards them.

Well, in actuality one was doing the walking while carrying the other person.

Soon the figures were revealed to be Byeong-Ho carrying Sol.

"Damn it."

Yoon-Jae cursed before he rushed forward.

While taking Sol from Byeong-Ho he glared back and forth at them both.

Byeong-Ho smiled bitterly before his legs suddenly gave out. He was caught by Ji-Hoon before he could fall to the ground.

"Fuck, look at you! How are you even alive?"

Yoon-Jae said as he looked at Sol’s wound riddle body.

Sol barely had his eyes open and a small smile was on his lips.

He wanted to say, ’see I could handle it,’ but he really couldn’t.

With two whooshes, his bracelets came zipping past everyone to clamp back onto his wrists.

Sol relaxed a bit as the bloodline energy that was raging inside his body calmed down. From the looks of it, it seemed like it was ready for one more round.

A pity Sol’s physical body couldn’t keep up with it.

Sol closed his and his Innate Dharma appeared above him.

It shook its little sprout and a green halo suddenly encapsulated the area.

Everyone who was injured felt their external and even internal wounds heal, and for those who weren’t, they just felt a warm sensation wash over them.

"Even in this situation, you’re thinking about other people. Has anyone ever told you to look after yourself more and stop being so selfless?"

Upon hearing that, Sol recalled his Father’s words.

"It’s different this time... I have the strength to help so I did."

Yoon-Jae heard Sol’s mutter but he realized it wasn’t aimed towards him. He then said offhandedly.

"This is why I don’t like having friends, much less a partner. Why go through all this stress?"

Yoon-Jae looked down at Sol to see he had opened his eyes and was staring at him. He paused but then said.

"Of course, I consider you my friend."

Yoon-Jae answered as he knew what Sol was thinking, but Sol was still staring at him.

"I’ll answer your questions after this is all over."

Sol smiled before closing his eyes to focus on healing.

Seeing this, Yoon-Jae released another sigh before glancing over at Byeong-Ho and the others.

He wondered who had won that clash.

It looked like Byeong-Ho had, but the results seemed to be equal.

Yoon-Jae had to admit that he underestimated Sol.

If he had to guess, his strike was equivalent to a Quasi-Spiritual Realm cultivator but more powerful than one that opened all the acupoints in four of their limbs.

"Monsters the both of them."

Yoon-Jae couldn’t help but say after realizing both Byeong-Ho and Sol achieved this power while one only started opening acupoints in his second limb and the other being a bit older almost finished his second limb.

Abdu was having similar thoughts as well.

After looking at Sol he then glanced at Byeong-Ho and thought to himself.

’I can’t believe there’s another monster like this brat in the outside world. It’s not that easy using one’s enlightenment to fuel an attack.’

The only person who Abdu saw did something similar was Sol’s Master when he created that formation.

’Is he the child of some godly being too? Or is he perhaps the reincarnation of the Jade Immortal himself?’

Abdu couldn’t stop those absurd thoughts from floating into his mind.

Yoon-Jae: "Hey you, yes you. This is Yoon-Jae speaking. I took this opportunity to address you all because I need to ask... what are you planning on getting Sol for his birthday? Wait, what? You didn’t think about it? Well, you need to get him something. It’s my birthday too but I don’t really care, just get Sol something. I explain more in the notes below. Go read it, now."
