Chapter 614: A New Challenge

After talking with Mia about the previous matters, Minos spent a few hours working in his office before heading to the Spatial Kingdom.

Now that he had leveled up, he wanted as soon as possible to test his strength by fighting a worthy opponent who would cause him trouble to the point that he would have to push himself. As such, he wanted to have a battle against Emlyn, with whom he usually fought on occasions similar to this.

And with such a thing in mind, it wasn't long before young Stuart appeared in the Spatial Kingdom!

...

Zum!

Minos appeared not far from the lake house, where several people were sitting or training nearby.

And seeing the movement of people in that place, Minos immediately headed towards the place where Emlyn was while receiving congratulations for reaching the 6th stage.

"You already got there, huh?" Regina commented as she walked beside Angela.

This poison master was in this place at the moment because she had been applying the poison treatment to the soldiers of the Elite Squad. Hence, for at least a few hours a day, she was coming here to handle the treatments of the 99 soldiers in the Spatial Kingdom.

As for Peter, Lee, and Alison, since they would have to travel to the Snow Kingdom in the next few days, they had been given the preference to receive the poison treatment early.

On the other hand, Regina couldn't stay in the Spatial Kingdom all the time. After all, she was still doing Mirya's treatment.

At the same time, ordinary soldiers also needed to go through this kind of procedure. So, she only could stay here for a few hours each day.

After hearing Regina's voice, Minos nodded to her and made a sound of agreement without saying much more. "Hmm."

"Have you come here to train with us?" Angela asked at the same time as she looked in Celeste's direction.

As Angela asked this, Minos also looked in Celeste's direction and realized that she was getting closer and closer to reaching level 55.

He then thought for a moment about what he should do. 'Celeste will probably level up in less than a week. Then I'll leave it to fight her when she achieves that, so I can have a more efficient training...'

'On the other hand, fighting only Emlyn right now is better for me to get used to this increase in power.'

Right after increasing in level, every cultivator would become stronger. That was a fact. Everyone knew it. But it was also common knowledge that after a person's level increases, his fighting efficiency would be somewhat unstable.

Sometimes a person could release excessive power, losing energy in unnecessary ways. On the other hand, a cultivator could use less than necessary in other situations and put himself in danger.

Neither was interesting. So, whenever someone raises his level, especially when he reaches a new stage, he should fight to consolidate his newly acquired strength. And since Emlyn at the moment was the most competitive opponent for him, Minos thought it best to do this fight only against this fox at the moment.

As for Celeste, she would become stronger than him after she advanced. Hence, he could be pressured by her in the best way for him to try to increase his strength again, something that would be done after his bases were consolidated.

"No. Celeste is at a turning point for her to increase her level, while you still need to learn a few more techniques until you can fight me." He answered Angela's question as he continued walking through the Spatial Kingdom.

"Oh? OK, then."

Minos then turned toward the direction of those two women and said. "Call all the soldiers, I'm going to have a friendly match against Emlyn, and I want them all to watch."

"Are you going to fight that fox?" Regina asked as she looked in the direction of where Emlyn was standing.

This poison master had also provided her professional services for Kyla's mother. As such, she already knew that great Nine-tailed Fox.

But although this experienced poison master did not know Emlyn and Kyla's race, this human knew very well that the potential of that beast was not small. That's because, during the poison treatment, she could tell how small the portion of impurities in that fox's massive body was.

It was common knowledge that beasts of good lineages would have lower amounts of impurities in their bodies than humans with similar potentials to them. After all, the beast races had a higher affinity for spiritual energy than humans.

However, Regina had previously provided treatment for beasts of great lineages, some of which could even reach the end of the 6th stage. Still, she had never seen a being with such small amounts of impurities in its body as Emlyn.

Consequently, she knew very well that Emlyn's potential was the greatest of all these residents of the Spatial Kingdom!

Minos then answered her. "Hmm, for a few years now, we have been fighting every time I level up... So, it's time for us to do that once again."

"I think I'll win for the first time, hehehe."

"Really?" Regina asked in doubt while at the same time querying herself if Minos was being sincere.

She didn't know about how much stronger he had become, but she had heard stories from the soldiers in this place that Minos had lost the last battle against Emlyn. However, in that period, not only had he advanced, but she had also done the same.

So, this poison master was curious to see how the two of the three strongest individuals in the Black Plain Army would fight.

And quickly, Angela and Regina distanced themselves from Minos, going to inform the other soldiers in the Spatial Kingdom about the 'show' they could watch in the next few minutes...

Watching and scanning fights of stronger people was always an excellent opportunity for warriors. So, upon finding out about such a possibility, all those soldiers had stopped their duties so that they could follow this event.

'Minos has already reached level 50... How strong must he be?' Neal wondered as he walked not far from his woman, Celeste.

This friend of Minos from his Spiritual Academy days had already reached level 44 since he had joined the forces of the Black Plain. And given the opportunities that had come his way, he was already in the Elite Squad, striving to get better.

And realizing how strong his old friend had become, someone who had studied with him, he couldn't help but be even more motivated. But he was not envious of Minos.

Not because he didn't want to reach level 50, he did. But, because this young man would not wish for himself the dangers and problems that Minos had already faced and would face in the future.

Neal had 'only' courted and had sex with his mother-in-law and had almost died a dozen times for it... Imagine what could happen if he pursued the bloody path that Minos followed?

As the saying goes, scalded cats are afraid of cold water!

And it was no different for this young man. So, he did not envy Minos.

On the other hand, another person in that place also had some thoughts about Minos, only in a very different way...

'Hehe, I can't wait to feel the changes he went through.' So, Viola thought as she bit her lips and looked with interest at Minos, who had just arrived in front of Emlyn.

...

After opening her large eyes and looking down from the tree she usually stood in, Emlyn quickly saw the figure of Minos near her and realized the situation. "So, you've reached level 50, huh..." She said in a soft tone.

'Ah, I knew this day would come, but it was too fast... Back there, he wasn't even a Spiritual General, but in such a short time, he's already at this level.' So, she thought to herself as she began to head in the direction of a suitable place for them to fight.

"Well, at least I'll be able to have my peace time in this place since you won't need me so much anymore..." She said in a joking tone as she talked to Minos.

"Haha, what are you talking about? We will soon have many fights that will need your help."

"Rest assured that there is no shortage of opponents from my organization!"

"Oh? Too bad..." Emlyn said in a low voice while smiling. "Well, let's start this challenge."

"Are you ready?"
