Cultivation Online Chapter 671

Chapter 671: Bodyguard

‘An Array Master? Feng Feng mentioned them not long ago…’ Yuan looked at the peak Spirit Lord with an interested gaze.

Although it was faint, he could see a semi-transparent barrier around the peak Spirit Lord, and if he looked at the barrier with his divine sense, he would be able to see the symbols that supported the barrier together.

‘Those symbols contain most of the spiritual energy… Is that the barrier’s true form? A bunch of symbols combined together?’ He thought to himself.

“You have two more attacks. If you can crack my array, I will consider you hired.” The peak Spirit Lord said to the recruit.

However, even after using his last two chances, the recruit had failed to make even the slightest crack on the barrier.

“Next!” The middle-aged man said.

The next recruit stepped forward and tried to crack the array created by the peak Spirit Lord but to no avail.

After going through five people without any success, they finally managed to find someone who could crack the array on his third strike, but the crack was very miniscule and less than an inch long.

The peak Spirit Lord silently stared at the crack for a moment before speaking, “Fail!”

“What?! But I managed to crack your array!” The recruit exclaimed, unwilling to accept the results.

“So what if you barely managed to crack it? It’s still not convincing enough. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being weak.”

Meanwhile, a small commotion broke out somewhere in the line.

“Hey! Can’t you read? Only Spirit Lords and above can qualify to be their bodyguard! You, who is a mere Spirit Grandmaster, should get out of the line and stop wasting our time! Hell, you’re not even a peak Spirit Grandmaster!”

Upon hearing these words that were spoken right behind him, Yuan turned around, and sure enough, there was someone with a displeased face staring at him.

“So what if I am not a Spirit Lord? I can handle Spirit Lords like you any time of the day.” Yuan was feeling annoyed that he was being bothered even though he had been minding his own business.

“What did you just say, you little bastard?!” The man immediately fumed with anger.

“How dare a little Spirit Grandmaster like you act so arrogantly before me?! Know your place!”

The man released his cultivation base that was at the 8th level Spirit Lord.

He then raised his fist and prepared to strike Yuan.

However, he was a second too late, as Yuan’s fists were already in motion.

“Relentless Dragon Overwhelms the Nine Heavens!”

Yuan used his fist technique for the first time in combat on an opponent after obtaining it from the Dragon Temple.

Since these people are not actually living and are only made out of spiritual energy, Yuan did not bother holding back and was acting even a little daring.

BOOM!

The man was sent flying into the distance like a rag doll until he crashed into a building a street away and collapsed on the floor.

However, the man did not stand back up even many moments later, as he’d died on impact by Yuan’s ancient-rank skill.

“Hmph.”

Yuan didn’t even bother to check the man’s condition and treated the whole situation as though he was getting rid of an annoying insect.

The people that witnessed their quick exchange that ended in the blink of an eye were shocked speechless.

They couldn’t believe their eyes— did a Spirit Grandmaster just defeat a Spirit Lord, someone an entire realm above his own cultivation?

Why would this kind of genius be willing to become a bodyguard for someone else?

“What’s with the commotion back there?!” The peak Spirit Lord left his position and approached Yuan due to their little fight.

“Who was just fighting back here?!” He asked them, as he didn’t witness the fight for himself.

Those who saw the fight immediately pointed at Yuan with their fingers.

The peak Spirit Lord frowned when he saw Yuan’s cultivation base.

“Why are you even in line? The sign states very clearly that only Spirit Lords and above will be accepted! And the last time I checked, Spirit Grandmaster is not above Spirit Lord!”

Yuan looked at him in the eyes and responded in a calm voice, “While my cultivation isn’t at the level of a Spirit Lord, I am not any weaker than one.”

The peak Spirit Lord narrowed his eyes at Yuan.

He then said, “I will be the judge of that. Hit me with all you’ve got.”

Yuan nodded and withdrew his Empyrean Overlord.

‘A Soul Weapon… This guy is not an ordinary one…’

The middle-aged man standing beside the carriage immediately recognized the Empyrean Overlord’s unique aura to be a Soul Weapon.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan began gathering as much spiritual energy as he could for the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike.

“T-This is…”

The peak Spirit Lord began sweating profusely when he realized just how much spiritual energy Yuan was gathering in his sword.

He knew very well that even if he was a Spirit King, neither he nor his array would be able to survive such a powerful attack.

“W-W-Wait a moment!” The peak Spirit Lord suddenly stopped him.

“You don’t need to continue. I am convinced by your strength.”

“Eh? Really? Does this mean you’ll recruit me as a bodyguard?” Yuan was pleasantly surprised.

“Y-Yes… That’s right. You can become a bodyguard for the Huang Family.” The peak Spirit Lord nodded with a somewhat flushed face, feeling a little heat on his cheeks, almost like someone had slapped it.

“I understand.” Yuan stowed away the Empyrean Overlord the next moment.

“My name is Dong Zhou, head of security for the Huang Family. What is your name?” The peak Spirit Lord clasped his hand and bowed in a respectful manner.

“You can call me Yuan.”

“Then, Yuan, you can wait inside the restaurant for now. We’re going to recruit a couple more bodyguards before we leave. You can order whatever you want in the meantime. The Huang Family will pay for everything,” said Dong Zhou.

Yuan was born with an incurable illness that left him blind at a young age and crippled a few years later, rendering everything below his head useless. Deemed hopeless and irredeemable, his parents quickly gave up on him, and the world ignored him. In this dark and still world, his younger sister became his sole reason for living. Watch as this young man reaches for the apex as a genius in Cultivation Online, the newest VRMMORPG, becoming a legendary figure in both worlds. --------------------- Disclaimer: The MC is extremely overpowered and talented but also naive/innocent at first due to his illness. If you cannot wait for character developments and dislike OP MCs, this is not your cup of tea. Furthermore, the 'Earth' in this novel is not the same Earth we are currently living on so do not use our common sense for this novel. This is pure fantasy, after all. --------------------- My other novels: Dual Cultivation/ Inferior Cultivation System
