The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao asked the trial spirit what they needed to do in this round and the latter replied, “You need to face a Daemon.”

The words shook everyone at the site. Especially the five sect masters. They did not expect their disciples to be facing a Daemon. This creature was an existence that lay beyond common sense. They practiced depraved methods to rapidly gain power to the point where they turned into a monstrosity. This creature was neither a human or neither was it a demon.

However, it was an unspoken fact that if not for the existence of Daemons, the immortal plane might still have the Demons and Humans fighting with each other for supremacy. The middle-aged man standing in front of the Immortal Sword Sect spoke up, “This trial is going to be hard.”

Every other sect master had a tint of anxiety coloring their face except for Sun Eckhart. The sect master of the Titan sect asked with his eyebrows raised, “Sect Master Sun, you seem to be quite confident. Care to share with us?”

Sun Eckhart did not answer but calmly watched the spirit screen in front of him. His actions were making the Titan Sect Master feel embarrassed. The man clenched his fists and was about to blow off his gasket when they heard a burst of strong laughter. The surprised people all looked around and found that the source of the laughter was the spirit screen.

…

Inside the isolated space, Yang Dao was laughing while the other four had pale complexions. Seth asked, “Yang Dao, why are you laughing?” he was rattled by the fact that they needed to fight with a Daemon.

Yang Dao replied, “It is okay, I have faced a Daemon once. It is strong but not without weaknesses.” his calm answer shocked the people both inside and outside the isolated space.

Bai Hu asked him, “Brother Dao, do not tell me you are joking.”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “Why would I be joking Big brother Bai. You see, some time ago when our sect was holding a selection exam, a Daemon, by chance, managed to teleport inside the zone. At first, I thought it was some monster, but then as we fought it began to grow stronger, However, it was still dealt with in the end.”

Everyone was a cultivator and they could tell when someone was lying or not. Since Yang Dao dared to say it all in front of them, they could tell that he was neither joking nor lying. Hector made a few signs with his hands and Yang Dao said, “The weaknesses it has includes its joints, breathing organs, and lastly the low intelligence. As long as you do not give up your guard, it will not attack you from behind.”

Natalie asked, “So what should we do now?” her voice was soft and displayed that she was a little afraid.

Yang Dao cast a gaze on everyone and said, “You all are afraid, and that is a good thing. The fear will keep you alert, however, do not let it bother your clothes.”

Suddenly, they all sensed a movement in the front and found a Daemon standing up from the ground. The Trial spirit said, “I hope you learn something.”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Everyone, we do not have any timeline, so I suggest that we grind our martial skills on this thing? It is much better than a dead piece of wood or stone.”

The others were even more surprised, they all had one thought in their minds, does this boy have no sense of caution inside his heart or mind. What sort of operation was this?

In the end, when they did not reply, Yang Dao said, “Okay I will take the lead.” he totally had no problem being the first to move. As soon as he finished speaking, he unsheathed his sword and moved forward leaving an afterimage.

…

Sun Eckhart said, “Try and observe how Dao moves, his footwork will help you all.” his words were limited to only the disciples of his sect as he spoke in their minds. The disciples became alert. Inside the formations, Yue Jing was still breaking through, her speed was slow, but her foundation was firm.

…

Yang Dao appeared in front of the Daemon, and just before he was about to attack, he suddenly pulled back. Bai Hu asked, “What happened?”

Before Yang Dao could answer, the Daemon charged at him. The boy took back his sword and used his fists to counter the incoming punch.

<strong>Boom, boom, boom.  </strong>

<strong></strong>Yang Dao and the Daemon fought with each other without holding back anything. It was at this moment, that the people found that the young boy actually had the cultivation of the fourth level of Golden Core. However, when facing the Daemon, his small stature did not get pushed back, but he advanced slowly.

While he was brawling it out with the Daemon, he said, “This guy is intelligent. Not like the dumb one I fought with.”

His words seemed to have made the people surprised even more. Natalie Brooke broke her silence and said, “Brother Bai, you should better go and help him. He is testing the strength of the Daemon, I think, you with a better cultivation base, will have a better understanding of this. Young Master Yang lacks in battle experience as well.”

Bai Hu nodded and grasped his sword and he moved. He said, “Brother, switch with me.”

Yang Dao smiled and said, “With pleasure.” and using a palm to parry the incoming attack the guy moved away. This small action of his made the four sect masters raise their eyebrows.

The man from Prestige Sect said, “Brother Sun, your disciple is a talent.”

Sun Eckhart replied, “Thank you for your praise, Brother Ars.” his voice was calm and cold. This was Sun Eckhart’s usual temperament.

The reason Sect Master Ars praised Yang Dao was that he skillfully opened up a way for Bai Hu to attack the Daemon by diffusing the incoming attack.

…

Bai Hu slashed his sword and a wound appeared on the body of the Daemon, however, the slash had not yet been completely executed when the wound began to heal. Yang Dao who stood in the distance said, “Big Brother Bai, this creature has the ability to absorb shocks as well, so compared with rapid healing, I suggest you cut it off in pieces.”

Bai Hu nodded and his sword became fierce as he mumbled, “Slash the heavens.” then he launched a mirage of slash attacks. The wounds were deep but they were all healed in a blink. However, Bai Hu did not stop and began to attack again.

Natalie Brookes said, “Seth you and Hector should join them too.”

Seth rolled his eyes and asked, “What will you do?” Natalie replied taking out her bow. She said, “I will be providing support.”

Hector nodded and with the spear, in his hand, he moved forward. Seth also took out his sword and then began a four-way assault on the Daemon. As soon as someone was about to get beaten by the Daemon, Natalie will grasp the chance and shoot a fire arrow at it, disrupting the attack.

…

The Sect Master of the sweet elixir sect spoke up, “If Natalie has improved, then the others must have improved as well.”

The fellow sect masters nodded and the man from the Titan sect asked, “What do you mean to say Sect Master Lysa?”

Lysa replied, “They have the skills yet they lack experience. They did not seem to have noticed that the Daemon is yet to scream. This means their attacks are useless.” her calm voice woke up everyone. The disciples who were watching the fight on the spirit screen suddenly felt depressed. This enemy was too strong.

Sun Eckhart spoke up, “Sister Lysa, your disciple has as excellent flame control.”

Lysa turned her attention back to the screen and saw something she did not expect, Natalie used an arrow and it landed right in the middle of the forehead of the Daemon, and the flames only covered the head of the creature. However, they did not extinguish shortly but began to burn the head of the Daemon.

…

The fire around the head allowed the four guys to take a step back and catch their breath. The Daemon grunted in pain, but that was it. Yang Dao said, “Young Miss Brookes, stop using remote manipulation, your essence will deplete faster, I got an idea.”

Natalie Brooke looked at him and released her control. As the flames extinguished the head of the Daemon began to heal. Yang Dao took out his sword one more time and he moved while mumbling, “Ember.”

His sword stabbed at the Daemon at a speed that surprised the people yet again, and at the tip of the sword, a flame burned strong. Every stab was strong and left a burn mark on the body. But it was being healed again, and the Daemon was moving around slashing the claws at Yang Dao. The boy frowned and said, “You want to fight right.”

The vexation he felt from the creatures surfaced again, and he mumbled, “Purification Slash.”

The next moment, his whole sword glowed with the color of the flames, and the temperature of the surroundings rose, and infusing the source energy of fire with his sword intent, Yang Dao attacked.
