Chapter 147 - What Was That Shit?

As Uive said, the Lagan Sect Disciples arrived at the end of the noon. Their group had three members, Two Men and one Woman. From the looks of it, the woman was the leader of their group. Her cultivation was at the peak stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. As for the two men, they were both at the Peak Stage as well. However, Roan could tell that the woman would be much more of a challenge than the two men beside her if they fought.

The woman's name was Luina Falan. As for the two men, they were Orist Cradi and Rolim Daedove. As it seems, the Luina was a member of the Inner Lagan Sect, while the two men were members of the Outer Lagan Sect.

Uive then talked with those members of the Lagan Sect about the arrangements of the mission. After they concluded, he mentioned the test he wanted to give Rean and Roan as he brought Luina's group to one of their Headquarters' training fields. Obviously, Rean and Roan were already there.

Luina's group was surprised to see Rean and Roan. In their eyes, those two were obviously just 11 to 12 years old. Luina was already 17 while the other two men were 18 each. They are much older. Sure enough, they also thought that Dalamu Sect was messing up with this mission.

"Kids, there is no need to do this challenge. Just go back to Dalamu and tell them that we need support, not more burden."

Roan snorted as he stepped into the training field. He then went up to one of the combat platforms that the City Guards liked to use to spar as he pointed at Luina.

"Cut the crap, I don't have all day."

Rean couldn't help but sigh. Roan didn't know how to hold back his words. However, since it already came to this, he also stepped inside the training field and on another platform.

"Oh well, so be it. Anyone of you should suffice."

Obviously, Luina's group expressions turned dark. It was evident that those kids think that they won already. Luina then ordered through a Divine Sense.

'Orist, Rolim, go and take those kids down. There is no need to hold back either. Since they dared to look down on us, they need to be ready for the consequences. Just don't kill them.'

The two guys nodded, and they immediately jumped on the platform as well. Uive was also there to observe and judge the situation. After all, those are disciples of the Five Big Sects. He can't let Rean and Roan die here, or it would bring unnecessary trouble for him.

"This is just a test. So be sure to hold back. Once a winner is determined, the fight should stop immediately. Are you ready?"

Both sides on both platforms nodded.

"Begin!"

Orist and Rolim would never forget this day.

The moment Uive announced the start of the battle, Rean and Roan's hair changed instantly. They both used Rean's Light Element on their bodies and sprung forward at a speed that far surpassed those two men. Orist and Rolim were alarmed as they immediately took a defensive instance. Orist was a Saber user while Rolim was a Sword one. However, it didn't matter for Rean and Roan.

The twins arrived in front of the Lagan Sect's disciples in a flash as they raised their swords. The moment they slashed down, Orist and Rolim moved to block it, however...

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

What was supposed to be a single sword, transformed into three! Not only that, but the twins' opponents couldn't tell which one was real. Orist and Rolim shouted, trying to block the attacks as they jumped back. Still, it was too late.

At first, they were delighted because they felt that their Saber and Sword had blocked something. Obviously, they thought that they stopped the real swords from Rean and Roan, and the other two each were fake. Too bad, though. All three swords were real!

*Swish, swish.*

Both Orist and Rolim were cut twice by the other two swords. Let alone Orist and Rolim, even Uive and Luina opened their eyes wide!

Luina couldn't help but exclaim.

"How come all the swords were real?!"

Uive, however, was a lot more composed.

"The fight is over! Rean and Roan win!"

Orist and Rolim fell on the ground while sweating rivers. When they first felt the two fake swords cutting their bodies, they thought they would die right there and then. However, the twins showed mercy, so their injuries were nothing serious. As long as they took some healing pills and rest for the night, they will be back to peak condition the next morning.

Rean and Roan's hairs then turned back to normal as they stepped out of the arena. On the way, Roan rebuked Rean.

"What was that shit? It was evident that you missed the points by at least three centimeters with each attack. Also, you have the Light Element Main Source, so how come you were slower to arrive in front of your opponent? Are you messing with me?"

Rean scratched the back of his head as he said.

"I'm not as proficient as you, you know that. I'll never be able to match you in combat. I had to hold back too. Not to mention I just recently had a breakthrough, so I'm not used to my increase of Spiritual Energy either. You should be happy that I was able to do this much."

Roan didn't care, though.

"Hmph! It seems I was right to take this mission; you are lacking combat experience. You better put your heart into it this time. I don't want to be dragged down with you."

Uive and Luina were taken aback as they heard the twins conversation.

'They held back? You can't be serious! If that's what you do while holding back, then how much stronger can you be?'

Rean then looked at Uive before bowing.

"I hope this was enough to prove our capability."

Uive's mouth twitched. If that wasn't enough, then he doesn't know what was.

"That's... more than enough..."

Uive then quickly composed himself before saying.

"Cough, cough... We already prepared the provisions and the Spirit Horses. You can leave the next morning. The Gold Hands Bandit Group usually acts on the passage between Cinquel and Avato Cities. After all, lots of trades happen between both cities. Whatever method you use is fine as long as you get rid of them. We have portraits of this group's leaders, so we need at least the head of one of them for this mission to be considered successful, understood?"

Rean and Roan nodded without much care. Luina also did the same, but her head wasn't in the matter at the moment. She then looked at her sect disciples, who had returned with their heads down.

"Good. I already prepared your rooms. I'll see you again after you finish the mission, good luck."

Uive then turned around and left. Rean then smiled at them before saying.

"Sorry for my brother's behavior. He is quite impatient. Let's give our best on the mission tomorrow. Good night, my friends."

Luina could only awkwardly nod as she left with Orist and Rolim. Rean and Roan did the same and returned to their room to rest.
