Death... and me

1702 Consider it done!(Chapter preview)

Govin heard Rean's words, so he told him, "Part of them, yes. A lot of them are also talented cultivators that joined the sect through the sect entrance exam. Unlike the recruitment buildings outside the continent, the sect's entrance exam accepts even kids at the Foundation Establishment Realm. We have varied tests to find such high-talented disciples. Of course, those ones are just a small part of them."

"So, that's to say that the people who are born in Jhiod have privilege," Rean mentioned.

Govin didn't deny that, replying, "Isn't that obvious? Why would we give advantages to those from outside and make it harder for the insiders? What kind of idiotic organization would do such a thing?"

"That's true." Rean had to agree with that, at least.

Govin continued, "We have a teaching system in our Jhiod Sect. High-level cultivators will be in charge of overseeing the toddlers' advancement. They are usually Outer Sect disciples. They also have the incentive to do a good job as depending on the overall development of the young disciples, the more resources they will get themselves. The elders of the Outer Sect usually just check the disciples' work and talk with the ones who teach instead of taking care of all of them. It's a very effective system."

'Oh! It's pretty much like the System Sect,' Rean could not help but think to himself. They've also been doing it from the very start, where higher-level cultivators that didn't have any high position in the sect were also responsible for teaching younger and lower-level ones. Hage was the main elder in the System Sect responsible for the young kids. However, he shared the job of teaching them with higher-level cultivators and oversaw their work. If anything, Hage had been doing a great job. It was so much so that his position as an elder in the sect at the moment was quite respected, even though he was far from having the highest level of cultivation.

Timao, who was with them, wasn't in the mood to talk about it. "Let's not waste time anymore. Just select any random arena and start the fight."

Rean looked at Govin and asked, "Any arena can do?"

"Yes," Govin nodded in response. "All the arenas' formations can resist battles up to the Space Bending Realm in strength. The only differences are that there are big and small ones. For you and that guy, it's better if you get a big one."

Rean nodded before looking at Kentucky, asking, "So, do you want to fight, or should I?"

"You go," Kentucky said in response. "I'm here just to watch the fun."

"Master, then we will take this one." Suddenly, Lin called everyone's attention as he jumped onto one of the small arenas. Obviously, he didn't want to give Rean space to flee, wanting to end the battle as fast as possible.

Govin narrowed his eyes in response. Obviously, he also thought the same thing. It's just that he wanted Rean to take the big arena instead. 'Rean, don't underestimate the guy. I don't think he's just like any other average Void Tempering Realm at the Initial Stage.'

Rean thought the same thing, responding, 'I know. His confidence definitely doesn't come from the difference in cultivation between us. There's a lot more to that.'

Following that, Rean jumped onto the small arena. "All I need to do is resist one minute, right? I don't need to defeat my opponent, right?" If possible, Rean wouldn't show much of his strength. It was a lot better just to run around, even if the arena was small.

Timao nodded in response. "Yes, that's all you need to do. If you resist a minute, the Half True Dragon Blood will be Govin's."

Due to the presence of the two elders, quite a few of the cultivators watching the battles around came to take a look. Well, that's exactly what both Govin and Timao wanted. "Everyone, this battle is a bet between two sect elders, Govin and I. The winner of this bet has to pay the other a vial of Half True Dragon Blood. We wish that you, the disciples of the Jhiod Sect, witness the result. The white-haired boy is Elder Govin's disciple, while the blue-haired one is mine."

*Wow!*

A lot of disciples didn't know what a vial of Half True Dragon Blood was good for, but the few who did were truly shocked by that. Immediately, they used their Divine Senses to tell their friends about the bet, and soon, everyone came to know what it was all about.

Govin and Timao then waited a few minutes so that more disciples would come out to watch the bet. Not only that, but the word about the vial of Half True Dragon Blood could entice even the elders. With that said, a few of them used their Divine Senses to take a look at that arena as well. They wanted to see who the winner would be and perhaps trade with them for their vials later.

Seeing that neither side could go back on their word with that many eyes, Timao and Govin were finally ready to start the bet.

However, just before the fight started, Rean received a Divine Sense Message from Govin. 'Rean, can you trash him?'

Rean was taken aback to hear that. His intention was to simply survive for a minute so that he wouldn't garner too much attention. 'Why?'

'I won't lie to you. It's basically an issue of honor for our Yume Clan. It will already be great if you can simply resist for a minute, which I doubt you can't. However, if you do win, that would be a blow to the Gilaeria Clan's faction. Of course, it won't change anything in the overall situation of the Jhiod Sect, but our Yume Clan would definitely be delighted to hear about that.'

Rean pondered over it a bit, eventually saying in response, 'Hmm... what's in it for me?' Sure enough, Rean would only move for the profits.

Well, Govin already knew how Rean's personality was after that year in the Jhiod Sect's recruitment building, so he replied, 'Fine, fine... I already have my own vial of Half True Dragon Blood, and I don't need another one. If you win, the entire vial is yours.'

Naturally, Rean's eyes lit up after hearing that. 'Consider it done!'
