Chapter 115: The Law of the Jungle

And after a short time, many people were already paying attention to the screen that Minos and Leroy's groups were appearing. "Hehe, there haven't been many fights between competitors so far, especially with people so strong!" A middle-aged man says that while laughing happily. Watching this tournament was very interesting, but many of the participants were still very weak in this part of the competition. Things generally only became interesting after the third test. Because of that, many who were here watching this event were very anxious to see that a fight between some of the strongest competitors could end up happening! "I wonder who will win..." Many people had this same question in mind. And while people were discussing the likely fight, Ruth was not in this place. She had no time to waste watching this tournament. After all, she knew Minos very well and knew that he would have no problem with this exam. So, she decided to concentrate on training her techniques and cultivate this week. ... While people were excited about what might happen in the forest, where the second test was taking place, Davy was facing Minos steadily, preparing to activate his techniques at any moment. He grew increasingly irritated by Minos' authoritarian behavior and was almost jumping to attack him. He just didn't do it because he wanted to see what kind of dirty trick the young Stuart intended to use. After all, it was not easy to defeat people so much stronger than yourself, like what Minos was trying to do. On the side of Leroy, the young man from the Chambers family was starting to sweat cold when he saw that his 'ally' was waiting for something. 'Shit! Do something! Otherwise, I will be dead!' He cursed the young Davy. Minos then began to advance slowly forward, gradually approaching where Leroy was. He carried his sword in his right hand and had an expressionless face. This could give a frightening impression to anyone who saw it. Minos then activated his defense and support techniques simultaneously, continuing on his way. Devouring Art! Indestructible Body! Suddenly the scene of the place started to get darker, while a black fog appeared in the sky, little by little, taking the form of a big ring, 100 meters in diameter. Zuum! At the same time, this ring began to spin, making a continuous humming noise. Meanwhile, Leroy and Davy began to feel their spiritual energies start to wane. At the same time, the young man in the Chambers family was the most affected, as he was at a lower level. 'Shit! But what kind of monster did I piss off?' Leroy started to lament in his mind, activating his defense and movement techniques so he could get away. On Davy's side, he was utterly shocked by the technique that Minos had activated. He had almost three times more spiritual energy than Minos, but still, his body could not cancel the enemy's technique! 'Ehh?' Spatial Sword! Seeing that Leroy was going to escape, Minos quickly activated his attack technique. In doing so, immediately, the surroundings of Minos froze as if time was standing still. As for Leroy, this time, he was feeling even heavier than the last, and he was moving very slowly right now! After all, Minos had increased his cultivation by a large margin and therefore had left his most effective techniques against someone at level 42, like Leroy. And, at the same time, when the two young men felt their bodies getting heavier, Minos began to make his movements, sending some blades of air in the direction of Leroy. Swooish! In less than a fraction of a second, the blades started to run towards Leroy's body. In contrast, this young man started using everything he had to defend himself. Green Shield! 'Shit, I won't be able to dodge!' Seeing this, Davy started to feel an increasingly intense bad feeling when he activated his techniques to help his 'companion.' 'How can this be possible?' Suddenly Davy felt that even when he activated his moving technique, he was still unable to reach Leroy before Minos' attack. Crash! At this point, the shield that looked like a piece of wood, which was the spiritual shield that Leroy used as a support for his technique, suddenly received one of the blades sent by Minos, as cracks began to appear in this item. Boom! Almost instantly, after being hit by another blade, the shield exploded right in front of Leroy, sending a wave of spiritual energy and its components all over that place! "Ahhh!" The young Leroy screamed desperately, feeling some cuts on his body, along with some of the components of the shield, which had also wounded him. When a spiritual weapon exploded, there was no way to defend! Even more when it was a shield! People usually used this item to protect themselves, so they let their guard down for this type of situation... Leroy then staggered backward. At the same time, Davy had finally managed to get to his side. "If you are going to continue with this, I will also fight!" He said in a resolute voice. Although there were some problems with Leroy's information, he still thought Minos was a despicable person, just as he had heard... So Davy wanted to help his 'ally'! "Ehh... Well, don't regret it later!" The young Stuart said confidently as he started to run towards the two young men. Now he would go with everything! Before, he wanted to give a reason for this other guy not to fight by showing his strength. But since Davy hadn't done it, Minos didn't need to keep spending his time on it! Spatial Sword! Immediately after that, the young Stuart started to move around where they were while sending long-range blows in the direction of Leroy. He would not fight face to face with these two since Minos' techniques were really useful in long-range fights against opponents of a higher level than his! And with that, the young Stuart made horizontal, diagonal, and vertical movements, releasing blades of air less than 50 centimeters in length and sending them towards those of his target. Various movements were sent to the bodies of Leroy and Davy, exhibiting tremendous strength, which could kill someone at level 41 with a single blade! Swooish! Earth Wall! Suddenly, the land around Davy began to join the spiritual power released by the young man, forming a wall more than a foot thick in front of the two youths. Leroy no longer had his shield and was severely weakened. So, if Davy fell, then that would be the end of him! ... Meanwhile, thousands of people watched the fight that was taking place in that forest through the screens in the square in Capital City, where the event was being broadcast. "Damn! I never thought that Minos was so dominating!" "Hmm, he's continually pressuring those two youths..." "I just wonder what happened... It seems to be nothing simple!" While the crowd was arguing, the woman responsible for this part of the Spiritual Tournament was also looking at this fight. She then murmured in a low voice. "This boy, ehh, Minos, is truly impressive. He will probably be in the top 5..." ... Maxwell and Peter were watching Minos and Davy's intense struggle inside the forest, admiring their savior's impressive fighting prowess. "It looks like this Davy won't be able to take it anymore..." Peter said, after letting out a sigh of pity. Even if Minos decided to spare him, Davy would still lose a lot because of this fight. That's because, at this point, he had only one arm left on his body! But worst of all, Davy was just a victim of Leroy, so Peter felt sorry for this guy. However, there was nothing to do. This was the cruel reality of the Spiritual World. If a cultivator becomes the victim of someone else's actions, he could only regret to himself... "Ahhhh!" Davy was injured entirely, to the point that he barely looked human. There were open wounds at the chest level, while his face was as white as a sheet of paper due to severe blood loss. There were traces of blood coming out of Davy's mouth and ears, while several purple stains could be seen through this young man's torn clothes. Boom! Suddenly Davy's last defenses crumbled as the young man slowly fell to the floor. Minos' technique hadn't hit him. It just passed out, just when his defense collapsed! 'Finally,' The young Stuart thought about it when he saw Davy's unconscious body collapse on the floor. He then looked at Leroy, who was extremely injured and pale. The young man then tried to appeal for his life, using his family as a shield. "Minos, you can't kill me! I am an important member of the Chambers family! If something happens to me, you..." Swooish! However, before he finished his threat, Minos' sword quickly cut into Leroy's neck! This happened so fast that the young Leroy was still trying to appeal for his life when his head started to turn to the side while falling to the ground. Someone could see his confused look at the time of his death. Leroy couldn't believe that Minos would kill him, even after he quoted the family behind him! ... Outside the forest, in the square where the event was being shown, in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom, when the people who were watching this fight saw what had just happened, everyone was shocked by the turn of events. They've seen a bit of everything in the past few days. Still, even though some of the competitors have died, none of them have fallen into the hands of another participant! As for the other fights between participants in the Spiritual Tournament, all of them had ended with one side surrendering and delivering their items. Nobody dared to kill one of these young prodigies, who mostly had prominent families behind them! "He really killed that boy..." A young woman said in disbelief. "Hmm, these two certainly had a deep grudge!" A middle-aged man said loudly. Most of them did not disapprove of Minos' action. It was much better to kill an enemy than to let him live to cause trouble at another time! Human beings were complicated creatures to change, so it would be silly to think of second chances in the Spiritual World. That was the law of the jungle, the law that governed the world of the strong.
