Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Reward_1
Greg Jensen held out for a very long time, and tranquility was finally restored to the kitchen, with no further hidden weapons appearing.
Hum!!
Just at that moment, the air rippled, and the four emaciated waiters appeared out of thin air, eyeing Greg with a smile and giving him a round of applause:
“Not bad at all! In the thousands of years since the existence of this cave abode, you’re the first to master two sets of supreme skills in such a short time!
You must be no ordinary person in the outside world. Well then, choose one of us four to challenge!
If you defeat us, you can get the corresponding reward! But if you fail, you’ll die here with us as a guardian of the tavern!”
Upon hearing this, Greg’s eyebrows rose, “You mean to say, challenging different people will net different rewards? And if I fail the challenge, I’ll become one of you?”
“Correct! These are the ancient rules of the tavern, hehe, it’s been over a hundred years since we’ve had a new member!”
The four waiters stared at Greg with a fierce determination, looking very confident.
From their words, Greg could tell that these people must also have been strong challengers to the tavern in the past.
Only because they were defeated by the predecessors were they left here permanently.
He just didn’t know what the corresponding rewards they mentioned were.
Greg pointed at the four of them, “Then there’s no need to choose. The four of you, come at me together!”
Since there were rewards and it was a challenge within the tavern, one didn’t need to guess to know that the rewards must be substantial.
Choosing only one to get the reward, that would be too much of a loss, despite already having obtained two sets of supreme skills. In his world, there was no such thing as giving the reward to the next person!
Moreover, he was not only proficient in hidden weapons or movement techniques, these two sets of supreme skills were merely icing on the cake. Up to now, he had many more techniques he had yet to employ.
“What?”
The four were visibly startled upon hearing this.
They looked at each other, sizing up Greg with surprise, and asked again for confirmation:
“You mean you want to challenge the four of us alone?”
“Hahaha… Aren’t you being too arrogant? From ancient times to now, countless have died at our hands!”
“I’ll consider that a joke, so I’ll give you one more chance to choose!”
“Don’t think that just because you have some ability, you can be so disdainful of others!”
What they didn’t say aloud was that all four of them had also understood the Hidden Weapon Fairy Method.
Especially after hundreds of years of continuous insight, they had practiced this supreme skill to perfection.
The lad in front of them had only just begun to comprehend it, his level of mastery far below theirs, and now he wanted to challenge all four of them at once?
What difference was there from seeking death?
“No need to rechoose!”
Greg shook his head at them, “Just come at me all together. I want to fight all four of you!”
“Hmph! Then stay here and keep us company!”
The four snorted coldly and immediately stopped wasting words, scattering in four different directions.
At the same time, a series of darts was launched from their hands with fierce speed.
Almost in an instant, from different directions, they locked onto Greg’s vital points and attacked fiercely.
Their movements were executed without the slightest hesitation or superfluity!
In their eyes, Greg was already a dead man!
However… what they never expected was that Greg’s speed and reflexes were clearly a notch faster than theirs.
As the darts whizzed in from different directions, he released his cultivation without any reservation.
The darts scattered on the ground were kicked up by his foot, humming sharply as the Limitless Swordplay coursed through his fingertips, propelling the hidden weapons, and striking precisely against the incoming darts.
With a series of clack-clack-clack sounds echoing, the four attackers’ initial offensive was completely blocked.
“How… how is this possible?!”
Beholding the scene before them, everyone was dumbfounded.
They had spent hundreds of years perfecting their art of the dart, the Hidden Weapon Fairy Method.
Logically, someone like Greg Jensen, who had just begun to grasp a hint of the ability, shouldn’t have been able to block their attack so effortlessly, yet the result had them all utterly astonished.
Rat-a-tat-tat!!
Unfortunately, Greg Jensen didn’t give them the slightest explanation.
All he did was step quickly, employing the newly learned Ghost-like Body Method, and in the blink of an eye, he was upon two of them.
Under the full might of the ancient fist technique, space itself began to rapidly collapse, slamming hard into the chests of the two men.
Boom!
The two were sent flying backwards like kites with their strings cut.
And then it was the other two’s turn.
Greg Jensen turned his head, flicked a finger, and rapidly combined techniques of Limitless Swordplay.
The sharp Sword Qi transformed into hundreds of strands in the blink of an eye, crisscrossing to form a net of swords.
Before the two could fully react, they were entirely enveloped within it, their bodies frantically torn to shreds.
“Ha, look at you all boasting, guess you weren’t so tough after all,” Greg Jensen remarked, disdainfully patting his hands together as he watched the four men turn into corpses in an instant.
He then saw the four corpses rapidly transform into a burst of golden light, lingering on the ground.
That must be the reward they had mentioned, right?
Fighting down his excitement, Greg Jensen locked onto one of the golden lights first, reaching his hand into it.
He quickly felt a box, which had four large characters on it—that he still didn’t recognize.
Could it be a weapon?
Greg Jensen opened it to see, indeed, a dart laying inside the treasure box, twinkling with dazzling golden light.
The dart was only palm-sized, round with a hollow center, the edges all sharp barbs.
It was impossible to determine what material it was made of, or perhaps it was an item of virtual substance.
Greg Jensen wanted to take a closer look at it in his hand, but as soon as his hand barely touched the dart,
it dispersed from its shape into specks of glimmering light and quickly entered his body.
“This…”
Greg Jensen was slightly startled and was about to check where the item had vanished to when he suddenly noticed that this very dart had appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
With a thought, focusing his consciousness solely on the dart,
a dart materialized in his palm instantaneously.
So it had fused with him, hidden within his consciousness, ready to be summoned whenever he willed.
He was just unsure about the special abilities of this hidden weapon.
“Looks like I’ll have to find an opportunity to try it out!”
Greg Jensen chuckled, quite satisfied with this reward.
He then proceeded to open the remaining three treasure boxes, acquiring a Concealed Battle Robe as thin as cicada wings, a Triangular Sword, and a Life-Death Pill!
These treasures shone with a brilliant golden light and looked exceedingly extraordinary.
What do you think?
