Chapter 69: Truly as strong as a monster

"To be honest, I actually think quite highly of you."

Scathach put away the crimson long spear in her hand and stared at Su Nian as she spoke; she could not even say what kind of emotion she was feeling.

Rather than calling it an emotion, it was more like she had been influenced?

It was as if she had already made the decision to take the other party as her student?

Scathach did not know what kind of situation or emotion this was either.

It was as if Su Nian had been favored by another Scathach of a higher standing.

"But since you are unwilling, then forget it. Besides, I don't want to provoke such great hostility from your little girlfriend."

Scathach shrugged her shoulders and took a deep look at Sajyou Ayaka.

As a Demigod living outside the world, she knew a little something about this Huang Nu of the Root.

"That goes without saying. I don't want my short vacation to be filled with academic pressure."

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders, held Sajyou Ayaka's hand, and said.

"After all, one should properly enjoy and relax during a vacation."

Sajyou Ayaka also silently leaned against Su Nian, highlighting the intimate relationship between them.

"If you put it that way, I am even more inclined to test your mettle."

Scathach stared fixedly at Su Nian; a crimson short spear appeared in her hand, though it was unclear when.

"Truly an existence like a monster."

Spirit Core, eyes, heart, groin, legs, back... although he looked very relaxed, as if there were no defenses anywhere.

But Scathach's intuition told her that no matter where she attacked, the end result would be only one.

That would be to thoroughly enrage this person whose aura was as powerful as a star.

And for her to be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"Completely crushed in terms of physique."

Scathach sighed; what she looked forward to was being killed in a battle against a strong opponent.

Not being pinched to death like an infant attempting to challenge an adult, as it was now.

"So, are we fighting or not?"

Su Nian tilted his head and looked at Scathach, watching her with some confusion; he could not quite figure out the situation.

Wasn't it you who just radiated killing intent? Why did you suddenly stop?

He was just about to see what his own strength was like.

The previous fight with Saber was completely meaningless; Artoria's movements were all in slow motion in his eyes.

"Since you have invited me, then I will not be polite!"

Facing Su Nian's declaration of war, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Scathach's mouth; an opponent with a powerful physique, was it?

It was not as if she had never defeated one before; she did not even know how many people she had sent to the Land of the Dead, even those who claimed to be immortal.

She was not someone who would fear just because of an opponent's strength; the stronger the opponent, the more excited she became.

Meanwhile, on the bridge over the Miyuan River.

Holding onto the iron railing to prevent being blown away by the sea breeze, Waver struggled to open his eyes, looking at the Port District in the distance that was emitting a massive amount of magical energy.

"How is it, Rider?"

"It's troublesome."

Iskandar sat carelessly on the overpass, stroking his chin as he spoke.

"They have already radiated such might before even making a move."

"Eh? They haven't made a move yet?"

Waver was shocked upon hearing this; emitting such a massive fluctuation of magical energy, yet they were only adjusting their breathing and hadn't started fighting?

Iskandar said with a solemn expression at this moment.

"That woman is strong—no, I should say she is extremely strong. In terms of martial arts, I estimate I wouldn't last a minute, and there isn't a single person in my army who could compete with her in martial arts."

"Can it only be said that she is worthy of being a hero who came to save the world?"

"And that man, to be so calm and composed under such pressure, is also not to be underestimated."

"Ah? Calm and composed under pressure? That makes him not to be underestimated?"

Waver was stunned by Iskandar's statement; wasn't this the most basic thing for Heroic Spirits? If one couldn't even withstand pressure, how could one become a Heroic Spirit?

Iskandar did not explain upon hearing this, but grabbed Waver by the back of his collar, lifting him up like a cat.

"No time, we're going, little Master."

"Ah?" Waver was dumbfounded, and then, he froze when he saw Iskandar Summoning the Cattle Cart.

"Wait, what are you doing? You aren't actually going to interfere in the battle ahead, are you?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Iskandar laughed heartily.

"I still want to invite that Knight over there to become my subordinate; if I don't even extend an invitation, wouldn't I have come for nothing?"

Hearing this, Waver's face turned green, and he said angrily.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

However, Iskandar ignored him, hoisted Waver up, jumped onto the Divine Wheel, and shouted.

"In any case, we're going!"

"I don't want to go over there~~!!"

Waver's scream echoed through the sky.

——

Port District, the battlefield of Su Nian and Scathach.

Boom!

The solid asphalt ground exploded, and iron shipping containers were smashed into scrap metal, sent flying along with the cargo behind them.

Amidst the lightning-fast movement, Su Nian's fist stopped a few centimeters in front of Scathach's face, the wind from the punch blowing back the bangs on her forehead and that smooth, silk-like violet hair.

"As expected, Master, your speed is still a bit too slow."

Su Nian withdrew his fist and said, feeling somewhat unaccustomed.

The atmosphere of this world is quite different from that of Little Garden; to think that this was just a punch wind that would at most blow back some hair.

If I hadn't held back my strength after leaving Little Garden, I reckon I would have triggered a tsunami directly.

Moreover, although Scathach's speed is fast, it is at most a few times the speed of sound at best.

Yet when sparring with Jialing and Leticia in Little Garden, their speed could reach near light speed under the influence of their Authorities.

Scathach felt her hair slowly falling back down, the excitement in the depths of her eyes impossible to suppress, almost on the verge of overflowing.

In that very instant just now, she truly caught the scent of death.

If Su Nian hadn't suddenly held back his strength, she would have already fulfilled her wish.

No, her wish has changed now; she wants to die in a life-or-death struggle against Su Nian.

Rather than just being slaughtered like this.

"As expected, you're as strong as a monster."

Scathach put away the short spear she hadn't even swung yet, which gave her a deeper understanding of Su Nian's physique.

I fear he has reached the level where he could pull up mountains and sever seas relying solely on his physical body.

Even in the Age of Gods, Scathach had never heard of an existence whose physical strength could compare to Su Nian's.

"Ah-la-la-la~~!"

A heroic roar rang out, and accompanied by thunder and the sound of rolling wheels, a chariot crashed down from the sky toward the ground.

"In the presence of this King, both of you put away your weapons."

Everyone, please keep reading, especially the follow-up reads for next Monday and Tuesday; whether I can make it to the Sanjiang list depends on this push.
