Chapter 813: 424 Suppress and Seal Everything Qi (4000)
Listening to Casio’s words, Aaron was first taken aback, then he actually chuckled, “Hahaha, good. When I first beca a Dark Hunt six years ago, I was as wild as you. No, you’re even wilder than I was back then! Not only do you want to challenge … but you also want to challenge other stronger Dark Hunts?”
Aaron wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he quite admired Casio’s courage and pride. He wasn’t very old himself, achieving the position of Shadow Hunter at twenty-three. Six years had passed, and now he was just twenty-nine. Among young people, there was obviously a greater understanding. Aaron looked at Casio as if he were looking at himself from six years ago, freshly returned from the Source of the Holy Spring, with greatly increased strength.
Beside them, the third-ranked Shadow Hunter, Jin, a white-haired, burly man, watched Casio without showing any emotion. In the Hunters Association, Shadow Hunters and regular hunters were on two completely different levels. Becoming a Shadow Hunter also signified entry into the rarified senior level of the Hunters Association. It was inevitable that one’s confidence and courage would inflate, not to ntion the improvents brought by the Spring Water—Jin had also gone through that phase.
In his view, it was a good initiative for a newly promoted Shadow Hunter to challenge the veteran ones. It would help the newcor quickly understand their own level of strength and suppress any excessive pride and overconfidence. Which of the Dark Hunts wasn’t a top talent from different periods of the Hunters Association? A senior talent who had been a Shadow Hunter for over a decade, and a newcor with the sa title, the forr with years of accumulation and no less talent than the latter—the winner was obvious…
Jin turned his head to glance at the second and first-ranked Dark Hunts. Neither showed any change in expression, they were indifferent. Obviously, they did not believe that Casio could challenge all the way up to them. Just the fourth-ranked Shadow Hunter, Aaron, was enough to stop him, not to ntion Jin, who had been a Shadow Hunter for over a decade. There were a total of five Shadow Hunters, which could roughly be divided into three levels. The most powerful and experienced were number one and two. Three and four were battle-hardened and powerful. And then there was the latest to join, number five, with the shallowest foundation.
“Bai Kui, are you sure you want to challenge Aaron?”
At that mont, Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. He wore a brand new, sharp suit, still dressed as a gentleman. However, it seed there were white bandages wrapped around his wrist, as if he had recently been injured, and there was a faint dicinal sll lingering around him.
“Yes.”
Casio was concise.
Once Dilixiati received confirmation, his gaze turned to Aaron beside him.
Aaron nodded, indicating that he accepted the challenge.
Instantly, the crowd dispersed. This included Soss, the wounded Lion King, and Solomon of Thorns, who had been knocked unconscious. Both were taken to the other side of the valley.
The only ones left were the fourth-ranked Dark Hunt, Aaron, and Casio.
The two were about ten ters apart, looking at each other. Casio’s azure pupils were quite calm, devoid of any signs of excitent. This puzzled Aaron, who had previously thought Casio to be rather arrogant, with that sense of self-importance and sharpness typical of young people. But now it seed… it wasn’t the case.
The opponent was too calm, a calmness that made Aaron feel slightly uneasy.
“You…”
He was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Casio’s words, “Use your strongest thods. The muscles in your right arm are clearly more robust than those in your left, and the calluses on your right palm are also more pronounced. Your stance favors your right leg at the front, convenient for rapid force exertion. So, draw your weapon. You’re not good at hand-to-hand combat, but at cold weapons. It should be so kind of rapier…”
Aaron’s brows arched slightly, his expression revealing so surprise. However, he quickly adjusted and narrowed his eyes slightly, “As you wish.”
Shua!
With a light sweep at his thigh, Aaron’s hand was suddenly holding a shiny silver rapier. The guard was half-moon shaped, with carvings of three flower buds on it. The tips of the buds extended outwards, forming three droplet-shaped branches. The rapier was very straight and sharp, a masterpiece of so craftsman.
Tap.
He stepped back with one foot, extending straight out, the toes pointing to the ground. His right leg, as the center of gravity, bent and sank. Aaron leaned forward, his left arm stretching back, his right arm extended straight ahead. The sharp bud-tipped rapier pointed directly at Casio.
Opposite him, Casio remained in his original stance, watching Aaron adopt his attacking position. The posture with the rapier was very similar to that of the aristocratic rapier expert he had encountered in the Experint Field; they might be from the sa school.
So the Imperial Royal Family is still keeping a Master of the Rapier?
Having taught two hunters of Shadow Hunter caliber, this Master of the Rapier was not to be underestimated. Casio’s mind raced with thoughts.
The air flow stirred slightly through the valley, creating a distant, mournful whistling sound.
“Be careful, this rapier is very sharp, you might get hurt…”
Aaron gently oscillated the sword hilt, and a light tallic tremble sounded. The next second, the air in front of him seed pierced. A speck of silver, dragging the black afterimage of his body, viciously broke through the roaring air.
In less than the blink of an eye, he’d crossed the ten-ter distance, appearing before Casio like a flash. The silver, sharp end of the rapier was pointed at the center of Casio’s forehead, just ten centiters from his face.
“Buzz…”
Everyone in the surroundings was abruptly still, as if everything had been encased in a massive piece of amber, silencing all sound.
