Chapter 2156 Battle of the Children
After identifying Minos Stuart’s children, the level 84 Sage asked. “So? What do we do?”
His comment was directed not only at his companion but also at the two siblings in front of him, who had more or less the same doubts as these two Sages.
To fight or not to fight.
There weren’t any valuable resources around that would give them a better reason to fight, but knowing the identity of these two, the Sages couldn’t help but imagine that Kendrick and Sarah had great resources with them.
Wasn’t finding these two there the same as finding something precious available to anyone with the strength to pick it up?
The Continental Tournament was a fantastic event where the leaders of the organizations couldn’t take revenge for things that happened during the event. So even if Minos had been watching them, he couldn’t punish them if they decided to steal Sarah and Kendrick.
That gave the two Sages the confidence to think about winning more in this test than they might have been able to if they had simply ignored them.
“Kendrick and Sarah Stuart, hand over your spatial rings.” The level 82 said, sensing that the two young people in front of him were easy prey. “After that, we will let you continue your test without further problems. Just do as I ask, and we’ll clear the way for you.”
Sarah frowned as she made a serious expression. She hadn’t expected a mere level 82 Sage to threaten her like that.
“You’re courageous to have the guts to say those words.” Sarah opened her mouth while Kendrick had a dark expression on his face. “But I’m going to give you a chance. Hand over your spatial rings, and we’ll let you go.”
Hearing words similar to his own, the level 82 man laughed provocatively and said to his colleague. “It looks like we’re going to have to teach these inexperienced brats a lesson…”
“Yeah, they must have grown up on their father’s wing and don’t know how the world works.” The other said as he clenched one of his fists, not intending to go so far as to cause an uproar in the Stuart family but intending to humiliate and rob these two.
“Kids, today I will teach you a valuable lesson!” This level 84 man drew his gun as he jumped at Sarah, intending to kill her first and then the “poor” level 77 spirit saint.
Sarah and Kendrick probably had Golden-grade techniques, which gave them the confidence to stand in front of stronger cultivators. But these two and the vast majority of the Continental Tournament participants also had complete sets of Golden-grade techniques!
Sarah smiled when she saw the move of this stronger man who had obviously underestimated her and Kendrick.
“You deal with the weakest. I’ll take this fool down.” Sarah said to her brother as she used her innate skill on her surroundings.
Immediately, the two Sages felt the gravitational pressure on their bodies significantly increase the weight of every part of them, making it much harder to move their limbs and even their mental energy.
“Damn! What’s that?” The level 82 Sage screamed as he felt his body stop obeying him. He gradually fell to his knees on the ground.
The level 84 Sage felt his speed significantly slow as he tried to get close to Sarah.
Sarah took advantage, watching her opponent move like an apprentice attacking a master.
She used her sword and activated the Spatial Sword, circulating her powers to attack her opponent’s weakness and defeat him more quickly.
Kendrick was not under the effects of his sister’s ability and did the same as Sarah, acting against his target while activating his techniques, which were basically the same as Minos’.
Sarah had one or two techniques different from her father’s, but Kendrick had a set of techniques identical to his father’s since he had the same innate ability.
Even though he was level 77, he could easily fight someone at level 80!
However, with Sarah’s help in immobilizing this level 82 opponent, Kendrick acted with ease, using Chaotic Gravity to make his target’s situation even worse and knocking him out with just one move!
As his head slammed into the ground due to the increasing gravity on him, the level 82 Sage collapsed without even having a chance to scream in pain.
But there were screams of pain at this point in the maze as Sarah sliced through level 84 Sage’s skin, showing the many people watching that she wasn’t as easy as she seemed.
Her natural power was ridiculously strong even though she didn’t have her father’s innate ability. Moreover, with the immortal energy she and Kendrick had absorbed over the years, they were naturally stronger than people of the same level.
With only half a dozen moves, Sarah weakened her opponent considerably, making him howl in pain without being able to counterattack.
“Aaaaaagh!”
She wasn’t strong enough to defeat the level 84 Sage with a single attack. Still, after a dozen of her moves, the many spectators of this battle saw the fall of the second Sage, who had humiliated himself in front of Sarah and Kendrick.
Kendrick had helped his sister finish off her second opponent before finally collecting the items in the spatial rings of the two now unconscious opponents.
Without resources and wounded, these two would most likely not be able to continue their exams for at least the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, the victors of this battle didn’t linger any longer than they should have and soon returned to their goal of finding the end of the maze.
…
Meanwhile, the group of siblings watching the maze challenge celebrated Kendrick and Sarah’s victory, the two women and Rowan feeling thrilled to see the full abilities of these two.
They were even happier for their older siblings because, unlike the rest of the family, they knew what it was like to grow up with the expectation of achieving their parents’ accomplishments while at the same time being considered worthless for having everything without having to work hard.
Many believed they weren’t strong because they didn’t have to accomplish anything. That bothered them, so of course, it was good to see Kendrick and Sarah prove the opposite.
…
At the same time, Minos was pleased with the outcome of his two eldest children’s fight, enjoying seeing how confident they were and how they were able to dominate higher-level opponents.
‘These two will go far.’ He thought to himself with pride as he listened to his wives’ cheerful comments.
