Heavenly Dao Child 221 A Duel

Maheswara: "It seems you already made an acquaintance Ryuu."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "Yes he is a very nice person."

Maheswara nodded at that as he spoke, "You should make more friends, sometimes having friends help a lot in life, Pangu had some incredible friends who have done a lot for him to the point I am ashamed to say that his family failed to do, as such I am grateful to them a lot and you becoming acquaintance with Cezary makes me bit happy."

Ryuu was stunned to hear that, 'What did teacher mean by that, I have heard a lot about that age how Pangu gave his life but beyond that nothing, no matter how much he asked he was always told he will told when he was a bit older, what happened, who happened and now his teachers speech made him want to know more but how he knew the library of Ayindril definitely had something within it but it will be in the restricted sections, he knew it was futile for him to try to sneak in, as he suspected the library itself was alive and the last thing he would want to face the wrath of 3rd mistress.'

Maheswara and Ryuu made his way to a table where the other members of his teacher's family were already seating. Ryuu found a seat beside Nuwa, he did not know why but amongst all the other people of Ayindril she was the one he could always trust more than others maybe not as much as his own mother but he did not know why, he just felt it, all those years ago he did not know why but when she gave her hand towards him he took it without hesitation as if he knew he could trust her with her life.

They did not have to wait as soon various alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks arrived, Ryuu did not like any form of alcohol, and as such he chose an orange colored juice, as he took a sip into it felt as if his entire body was energized all of a sudden causing his eye to go wide not only that the taste he was in heaven he needed more, only to be stopped by Nuwa who gave him a stern glare causing him to wince a bit, "Ryuu we know it is incredibly tasty but you are forgetting that what you are eating is spirit food, it should not be rushed neither should it be eaten in great quantity, the thing you tasted was 'Flaming Citrus Lemonade', a very good for drink which cleans away impurities inside one's body gathered due to consuming many pills, but if you drink a lot of it will not only cause you ulceration in your stomach but also a very bad stomach ache."

Ryuu just gave a weak chuckle, this place was indeed dangerous, and someone who had frequent history of visiting infirmary for over eating it was a very bad place.

Something was bothering him as such he could not help but as his teacher, "2nd Mistress why there is such an arena in between the banquet hall."

Nuwa simply glanced towards a direction as she spoke, "Look over there Ryuu, what do you see?"

Ryuu looked at the as he spoke, "From the looks of it seems as if,….ehhh some one is challenging another person, ahh so that what I was warned about.", he nodded sagely about it, oh well him a small fry amongst all this strong cultivators as such he doubted anyone would challenge him as such he gave his undivided attention to a plethora of salads passing by, he was disappointed seeing most of them was beyond his level as such he was forced to let them go with heavy heart, but then he was able to get one, 'Phoenix egg salad', it was so yummy he could die happy now.

The sitting arrangement at Ryuu's table was such that Maheswara sat at the left most end of the table, from the side where all the delicacies were arriving, followed by Veena, then Antariskh, then Nuwa with Ryuu sitting on her right, while Celestia was at his right and Sylvana sat in between Celestia and Shamiran who was at the extreme end.

Celestia hid her smile behind a small fan as she watched with amused eyes at Ryuu she could easily guess at the end of the day they will have to carry an almost dying Ryuu from overeating.

A couple of fights went by as various cultivators were testing each other's mettle, which they the senior cultivators as well as the juniors paid attention to except for a glutton who was busy trying to eat while Nuwa was trying to stop him from overeating.

When all of a sudden a woman came and stood in between the arena drawing everyone's attention as she spoke her voice enhanced by KI, "Greetings Senior, my fellow daoist brothers and my daoist sisters, my name is Dora, I am disciple of Senior Daoist Megara. I, 90 Year old, a mid Immortal level cultivator hereby wish to challenge disciple Ryuu, disciple of Daoist Maheswara."

Ryuu who was about to take a bite from the some freshly cooked still steaming hot fish frowned hard, how could he not this woman was trying to take him away from his precious, before his eyes blazed with anger the way that 'Dora', mentioned his teachers name was as if he was on her level as such how he could not answer her, he glanced at his teachers silently asking for permission.

His teachers nodded at that none happy at the insult thrown by the girl as well as the blatant attempt to shame them by Megara, as he was standing up from his chair heard Maheswara's voice in his ears, 'Do not hold back, and remember as long as you do not fatally injure or cripple her everything is allowed.'

Ryuu nodded as he bowed towards them as if asking for permission as another voice appeared in his ears from Celestia, 'Humiliate her or no food for you.', Ryuu was never scared in his short life as much as today the simple threat of losing his food lit an unholy fire in his eyes.'

Ryuu stepped in to the arena as he spoke, "Greetings Senior, my name is Ryuu, I am 15 years old, ranked 6th Void Immortal level cultivator, I hope for your guidance senior."

No sooner did he say that a loud cacophony erupted specially among those who were not born or were alive before the Great Divide, a 15 year old Void Immortal was an inconceivable idea to them even people who were present before the Great Divide were surprised at that, only children from great heritage and upbringing during those times were as fast as Ryuu, and were often grew up to be great figures one day whose name spread far and wide, and the so called heaven defying geniuses nowadays were simply trash, but now another came as such everyone watched with anticipation at the incoming duel, many were knowledgeable about bad blood between Megara's family and that of Ayindril.

As Ryuu proclaimed that his opponent's eyes widen before she controlled her emotions as she drew out a long sword which she pointed at Ryuu, as she spoke, "I so happen to be an apprentice level sword mistress I hope your teachers have been able to teach you how to wield weapon otherwise you might bore me.", she spoke condescendingly as if she was speaking to a slave.

Ryuu's was angry at that, 'How dare this no good whore insult his teachers like that, I will make her pay.', he simply gave a small smile as he spoke, "Although I would love to cross blades with you but are you qualified to give guidance senior."

A murmur ran throw the crowd as many called him arrogant and petulant, as Dora snorted as he spoke, "Your funeral brat, don't cry if you lose to me, consider it an honor.", with that she dashed towards Ryuu in an incredible speed.

Only for Ryuu to sidestep, then he caught hold of her wrist as he twisted it, taking her sword before he slashed at her with such precision that her cloth was cut off, with an embarrassed shriek the woman simply held her clothes which were falling apart somehow managing herself from being completely naked in front of so many people.

Ryuu did not pay any mind to her as he inspected the sword, as the woman boiled in anger as she shouted out, "You perverted leech, swine, how…"

Her words came to a halt as a very strong sword aura infused sword attacks passed very close to her as deep trenches were formed on the ground.

Ryuu: "Well thank you for your guidance Senior but unfortunately I am dunce as such I was unable to learn what you wanted to teach me."

With that he threw the sword by her side as she spoke lowly but he was able to hear it accurately, "You bastard how did you defeat me I am an entire realm above you, and where do you think you are going.", as she flung a couple of throwing knives at Ryuu.

Ryuu kept walking away from her as he spoke without turning back, "I have lost interest, crossing blades with you is boring, and you may be an entire realm above me but when it comes to the Grand Dao of Sword, miss 'I so happen to be an apprentice level sword mistress'", Ryuu send a sword force based attack with his fingers thus stopping the throwing knives as he spoke while releasing his sword aura for the entire audience to witness, "I so happen to be a Grandmaster level Sword Master, you are beneath me."
