Chapter 442: Chapter 442- The Start Of The Two Continents Tournament!

Sol paused and suddenly began pondering on Haneul’s words. Soon he shook his head and said.

"I’ve actually never heard of this saying, but I understand its meaning. However, Brother Haneul shouldn’t worry, I might not look it, but my roots are quite strong."

Haneul gave Sol a derisive sneer before he suddenly turned to leave. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

However, Sol suddenly asked.

"Wait, Brother Haneul, I’ve been meaning to visit the Shaolin Sect to have a glimpse of their Martial Arts. I’ve also recently heard that the Wudang Sect’s Martial Arts were there, is this true?"

Haneul stopped and turned to look back at Sol with an expressionless face.

"Why do you want to know if the Wudang Sect’s Martial Arts are there or not, don’t tell me you intend to help this fool?"—Haneul glanced at Woo-seong before continuing—"You’d better not be involved with him any further, do you think the other Holy Sects and Great Clans would just sit idly by and watch as the Wudang Sect is re-established? Right now, he’s nothing but a stray dog that has to settle for scraps."

Woo-seong’s eyes grew cold and he immediately retorted.

"I’d rather be a stray dog that settles for scraps than be a thieving rat."

Haneul didn’t get angry at Woo-seong’s retort but rather stared at him with a contemptuous smile on his face. Why should he care about the words from trash?

Haneul then looked back at Sol and said.

"Let this be a warning to you, if you continue to get involved with matters that have nothing to do with you and stick out too much, you’ll surely meet a measurable end."

Sol smiled upon hearing that and calmly responded.

"Isn’t the outcome the same either way? If I hold back all the time I’ll eventually suffocate myself to death, and if I stick out too much, I’ll be inviting trouble I can’t handle. Either way, I’ll end up dead, so at the very least I would rather fight to survive than be suppressed and killed. The end result is just death anyway and I’ve already come to terms with that the moment I decided to start cultivating."

Woo-seong’s heart couldn’t help but be moved upon hearing Sol’s words. He never knew Sol had such a mindset.

Not only him, but Haneul was also silently staring at Sol. Those words had greatly stirred up his emotions.

Sol suddenly added.

"However, don’t be mistaken, it depends on who is holding the axe. I wouldn’t foolishly run to my death because I don’t fear it, I have too many things to accomplish."

"But what if it’s something you can’t run away from?"

Haneul suddenly asked, his tone somewhat different.

Sol, still smiling, said.

"Then I would fight. As long as I’m alive I will stand firm with my head held high."

Haneul and Woo-seong didn’t know what it was, but for some reason, they could sense a domineering Will behind Sol’s words.

Sol suddenly stepped forward and patted Haneul on his shoulder. Afterward, he turned and walked away, Woo-seong following behind him.

Haneul looked at Sol walking away and was in thought, but his pupils suddenly constricted.

All of a sudden, he realized that Sol’s words just now fit perfectly with his current situation. Along with that pat from Sol, Haneul had to wonder if Sol knew his predicament.

’But how is that even possible? Exactly what is this brat’s identity?’

Haneul asked himself as he watched Sol walk out of sight. After some time, he released a breath to calm his emotions.

"Fight, huh?"

Haneul muttered to himself before his gaze landed on the bizarre name at the top of the Earth Expanse rankings. Suddenly his displeasure with this name turned into desire. Thinking about his previous plan, Haneul’s eyes glowed with vicious light.

"You want me to become your sacrifice? You want me to get that Soul Mending Pearl and just forcefully endure? Impossible!"

A monstrous aura suddenly erupted from Haneul’s body, and terrifying ripples were sent out into the surroundings.

Behind him, an outline of Divine Beast appeared faintly in the void. Its red eyes glowed with a similar vicious light to the one in Haneul’s eyes. In addition, the eyes of this beast seemed as if they were looking down on all Divine Beasts under the heavens and even the heavens themselves.

As golden runes appeared on the surface of the stone stele, Haneul raised his foot and kicked out.

A loud bang echoed out due to the impact and wild winds appeared between heaven and earth due to the shockwave.

Haneul then retracted his foot and the outline of the Divine Beast receded along with his aura. Without even looking at his results he turned around and disappeared with a step.

Haneul had never tested his strength using this stone stele. That went against everything he believed in up until now. However, he chose to do so now. It was almost like he was setting a reminder for himself and showing his renewed determination.

As Haneul left, the golden formations on the stone stele returned to the rankings. Haneul’s shining golden name in the 1000th position began to steadily rise and eventually came to a stop at the third-place position. His strength is a few hundred kilograms over two hundred thousand.

As for the name he used on the rankings, it was just as bizarre as the name in first place.

’IAmMyself.’

After this name settled down in third place and the surroundings came to calm, an indistinct figure of an old man suddenly appeared in front of the stone stele.

He raised his head and silently looked at Haneul’s score. Afterward, he went to disappear. However, he suddenly stopped and looked at the name in the first place.

What looked to be a pondering expression could be made out on his indistinct face.

"Interesting."

A voice that soundly as if it came from the distant past echoed out before the old man’s figure vanished.

At the same time, several hundred meters away on the path leading from the stone stele, Sol looked up at the sky and softly muttered.

"Interesting indeed."

"What was that, Brother Sol?"

Woo-seong suddenly asked from the said.

"Ah, I was just saying that the tournament should be interesting with people like Brother Haneul participating."

Woo-seong scoffed when he heard that.

"That bastard is just all talk, if we meet in the first stage or second stage of the Two Continent Tournament, I’ll make sure to defeat him!"

"Hmm, you probably shouldn’t underestimate him."

"What, does Brother Sol see him as competition?"

"You can’t be too careful, wasn’t it said that he’s never revealed his Innate Dharma?"

Woo-seong frowned and replied.

"Brother Sol, it’s not that he hasn’t revealed it yet, but rather he hasn’t awakened an Innate Dharma. I think it’s due to the Martial Arts he cultivated from the Shaolin Sect. It allows one to form a Budda Intent Seed rather than Innate Dharma."

"I know about the Shaolin Sect’s Heavenly Dharma Creation Martial Technique, but it’s not an impossibility that Haneul cultivates both."

Hearing that, Woo-seong’s face changed as he realized the meaning of Sol’s words.

"Brother Sol, are you suggesting that Haneul could be trying to recreate senior Brother Hong-so’s legend?"

"Haha, there’s a possibility, but we’ll have to fight in the Two Continents Tournament to know for sure."

Woo-seong eyes flashed and he clenched his fists. He didn’t care how difficult it was or if he had to face the opposition from the Holy Sects and Great Clans, he was going to reestablish Wudang Sect no matter what.

After leaving the Divine Beast Mountain, Woo-seong led Sol to the other Cultivation Grounds on the other Pavilion’s Mountain.

Like this, two weeks passed as Sol fell into the daily routine of going to the Cultivation Grounds to train. However, he mostly went to the Illusory Forest to train his Soul Core.

After two weeks he did make a bit of improvement. Now it was the day when youths under twenty from all over the Eastern Continent and Western Wasteland Continent were preparing to head for the Land of Shadows to participate in this never-before-seen Grand Event!
