Leon: I’m ready, Master Shix.
Let’s do this.
Chapter 21, Episode 21
[As Leon prepared for the final challenge, Master Shix explained the rules]
Master Shix: This challenge is going to be very difficult for you.
[Shix then called out an an old friend]
Master Shix: You will be fighting Xiao, an expert in swordmanship with 30 years of experience.
Leon: Xiao…??
[Xiao greeted Leon with a nod]
Xiao: It’s a pleasure to meet you, kid.
[Leon returned the greeting, though his expression was suspicious towards the man]
[He thought to himself]
Leon: This man’s power is extremely overwhelming.
Can I even land a hit on him?
[Xiao seemed to sense Leon’s doubts and offered reassurance]
Xiao: You can use your powers if you want in this fight, even though it’s a swordmanship match.
[Leon hesitated, feeling a sense of fairness]
Leon: That would be unfair if you don’t use your powers.
[Xiao chuckled]
Xiao: Kid, I have powers.
I just don’t use them often.
[Shix interrupted, his voice firm]
Master Shix: Alright, enough talking.
You two will be fighting each other.
Follow me.
[The two followed Shix to a vast compound, where he bid them farewell]
Master Shix: This is it.
I’ll be watching from the stands.
[Leon nodded, trying to appear calm]
[Xiao, however, seemed amused]
Xiao: Are you nervous, Leon?
[his eyes gleaming with calmness]
[Leon forced a smile, though his face betrayed him with a telltale sweat]
Leon: Nah…
[Xiao smirked, confident in his own abilities]
[The match started]
[Leon’s expression turned serious, and he charged forward, unleashing a barrage of light beams. But Xiao dodged them with ease, moving just an inch to the side]
[Leon’s eyes widened in horror]
Leon: What the…?
He just moved an inch, and none of my light beams hit him.
[The battle between Leon and Xiao was intense, with both fighters showcasing their incredible skills]
Leon: Ughhh….
this is pointless is hard to counter him ans very hard to exploit his weaknesses.
I have to do something.
[Leon, on the other hand, was determined to exploit Xiao’s weaknesses and gain the upper hand]
[As the fight continued, Leon created a light sword, and the two clashed in a flash of movements]
[Despite his best efforts, Leon stumbled back, acknowledging that Xiao’s swordmanship was on a whole different level]
Leon: This guy is way above my league!!….
[Xiao landed a slash on Leon’s body, but Leon’s ability to heal from lethal injuries made the attack ineffective]
[Suprised, Xiao unleashed a powerful tornado using his air magic, only to see Leon absorb it with his light absorption ability]
Xiao: What the….
I have to use this missile attacks…..
Air Blast…..
Fire!!!!!
[Leon then used his precognition to dodge Xiao’s air blasts with ease, exploiting Xiao’s weakness]
[Xiao, confused and frustrated, charged at Leon once more, but Leon was prepared. Using his Light Array Vision, he dispelled the effects of Xiao’s powers and launched a counterattack]
[Xiao attempted to use dimension-warping techniques to evade Leon’s attacks, but Leon’s vision allowed him to see through the dimensions]
[As Xiao tried to manipulate Leon’s mind, Leon’s light magic erased the touch, making him immune to soul and mind manipulation]
Xiao: What….
he completely resisted my touch with just his magic alone.
[Seizing the opportunity, Leon vaporized the dimensions and created a sword to cut off Xiao’s arms, securing his victory]
[Shix, who had been watching from afar, was mesmerized by Leon’s skills and applauded him for his hard work and quick thinking]
Master Shix: BRAVO!!!!….
[Despite his victory, Leon showed mercy and healed Xiao’s wounds.
Xiao congratulated Leon on completing the 7 challenges.
Master Shix: Now that you have completed all the Challenges.
You are free to do as you pleased in the village, until it was time for you to leave.
[Leon was ecstatic to hear this and rushed to explore the village]
Leon: Thank you Master…..
[As Leon explored the village, Xiao turned to Shix and said]
Xiao: The kid has potential; he’s insanely strong.
[Shix smiled]
Master Shix: I agree, he has grown stronger since I last saw him 15 years ago.
Anyway see you Mr.
Xiao.
[With a wave goodbye]
[Shix departed leaving Leon to enjoy his newfound freedom as Xiao disappears]
[Leon strolled through the village, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling market]
[He sampled various foods from different stalls, his mouth filled with an assortment of flavors]
Leon: Man, this food is soo good, I have to take more….
[Suddenly, a commotion caught his attention]
Leon: what going on over there.
Why are people so crowded.
[A group of five gangs, dressed in black coats, were bullying a young girl, accusing her of theft]
(Gangs)
[The crowd watched in unease, some protesting for the girl’s release, while others called for her punishment]
[Leon’s curiosity turned to concern as he approached the scene]
[Everyone questioned themselves]
“Who is this guy? and I haven’t seen him before”
[Everyone laughed at him and stared at him]
[The gangs, led by a man named Jinx, sneered at Leon when he intervened]
Jinx: Who are you kid?
Leave us alone, you don’t belong here.
[His face twisted in anger]
[Leon smirked]
[The gangs charged at Leon, for interrupting them]
Jinx: DIE!!!!!, kid…
[With a single swing of his sword, he wiped out all of the gangs without using his light magic]
[The crowd gasped in shock, wondering who this mysterious stranger was]
[The gangs left in shock in an instant]
“Everyone”
Who is this kid?, he killed the strongest gangs in this village, with just once swing
[The girl, Lizzie, approached Leon, tears in her eyes]
[Leon then asked]
Leon: Hey kid, why are you been bullied by these gangs??
Lizzie: My name is Lizzie, Me and my mother has been bullied and beaten by the gangs almost everyday
[Leon was Flabbergasted as his face turned into seriousness]
[She explained that she and her mother had been robbed and coerced by the gangs, who demanded payment for a debt they couldn’t afford]
[Leon’s expression turned serious, and he handed Lizzie 100,000 white gold coins]
Lizzie: umm….
sir.
This money is too much, I can’t take this.
Leon: No…
I insist, infact, I don’t need this money, to be honest.
[Leon gave her the money with a big smile on his face]
[Lizzie was taken aback by the generosity, but Leon insisted she keep the money]
[With a smile, Lizzie thanked Leon and headed home to tell her mother about the unexpected turn of events]
[As Leon continued to explore the village]
[The scene shifted to Angela]
[Angela continued to explore everywhere looking for a place to train alone]
[She found a secluded spot and began to train her martial arts skills]
[Her movements precise and powerful]
[Accidentally, her kick wiped out half of the trees and sent water flying, demonstrating her incredible strength]
[Angela’s training seemed to be a testament to her dedication and potential]
Angela: Oh…Mann….
I didn’t mean to wipe out half of the forest with just my kick alone.
The question remained: what lay ahead for her
