Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 305

In a concealed manner, Yates tried to show off his skill in front of the cheering crowd. He gathered his life vitality and injected it right into the spear rod. Then while charging great power into the spear point, he rushed right at Zen.

"Wow, Yates has made progress again! Look, his spear's strength has grown by two inches when compared to earlier."

"Yates is such a gifted and talented man! He just became an inner disciple, however, his competence has been increased at a horrible pace!"

"The man hailing from Drizzle Peak is going to have a bad day. Yates seems to be showing no signs of mercy. All of the twelve stabs were pointed right at the vital parts of the young man!"

The disciples of Egret Peak, brought here by Yates, were discussing in a low voice.

Since they were all practitioners and also inner disciples of Egret Peak, they knew each other quite well.

Nory, Sean and Wurth had stepped aside and they didn't seem to be worried about Zen at all.

And their confidence in him was justified. As since they met, Zen had left quite an impression by defeating rivals with higher cultivation level. So the truth of judging competence by cultivation level didn't apply for Zen.

Even with this said, they had no idea about how powerful Zen actually was and what kind of masters he could defeat with the power he possessed. But at least, they knew that in the end the one who underestimated Zen would most definitely suffer a great deal.

Zen stood still for quite a while. He smiled indifferently as he spotted Yates stabbing at him with all his strength.

Yates was extraordinarily fast in wielding his spear. It was rare for a practitioner at the fourth grade of nature level to have reached such a high speed.

However, that was just how the average person saw and understood it.

As far as Zen was concerned, Yates' speed was nothing at all. At the most it felt like a slap on the wrist.

He stabbed towards Zen twelve times in a split second and all these aims were pointing and positioned right at Zen's critical parts, which would maim him.

Zen knew that even though Yates' speed was extremely fast, the twelve stabs couldn't reach him at the same time, so he had adequate time to dodge the spear and make a defensive move.

As the twelve points approached Zen, he suddenly moved and disappeared into a blur.

"It seems he got stabbed! Go to hell!" Yates cried out in his heart with joy as he wore a vicious smile. He was excited at the thought of actually hitting Zen, like a dart board. 'Even if you're admired by Nina, so what? It doesn't matter, you're dead!' he thought gleefully.

However, to Yates' surprise, nothing had turned out in his favor.

Not a single one of his twelve stabs had even brushed Zen let alone hit him.

In fact, he just realized that all twelve of his thrusts had aimed at Zen's shadow, not Zen.

He wouldn't be surprised if he had hit Zen's shadow only several times, but how could he have missed all the targets?

It was impossible! Zen shouldn't have reached such an outrageous speed!

It was no wonder that Yates stabbed so fast. After all, his spear was feather light and the tier-4 cultivation method he used was powerful enough to pierce through a brick wall.

Yet the stabs missed the aim, so the real question was how Zen moved so fast and how he kept dodging each and every different-angled stab coming at him in such a high speed.

Yates stared at Zen blankly, like he was watching a ghost, trying to understand what had happened because it was all so fast. He still couldn't believe what he had witnessed was true.

James, who had been watching from behind them was shocked too.

As a high-level practitioner, he knew even better than the others what an incredible level Zen had reached to be able to do what he had just done.

Technically, Zen wasn't that special. He hadn't learned any other skills except for the Heavenly Ogre Fist, so there was nothing special about his moves, nothing really.

However, just owing to this fact, it should have been more difficult for him to dodge Yates' spear.

'That young man dodged Yates' attack merely by quick steps!

Even a master who has just entered the Illuminating Soul Realm can't reach such speed and agility!

Is he really just at first grade of the nature level? It all seemed surreal.

Or maybe he is an Illuminating Soul Realm master, but has been trying to hide his true cultivation level deliberately for some reason?

No, that's impossible!' James disregarded his assumption immediately.

When a practitioner had reached the nature level, he could collect his life vitality and send it below the belly to cover his original breath, so that the others wouldn't know his true practice realm.

However, it was useless for the lower-level practitioners to use this method when they encountered higher-level practitioners.

James didn't think that Zen could top him but he still wondered.

Nina looked at Zen with a wide smile as he moved and dodged Yates' spear swiftly. She found the fight between them very interesting.

After the trial for slaying demons and returning to Lady Peak, she had always been talking about Zen. After hearing the name of 'Zen' so many times, her friends couldn't bear to handle it any more. So these young girls had begun to mock her when she mentioned Zen again.

"Really? Is Zen really so powerful as you mentioned?

Since he is so powerful, why wasn't he ranked on the Cloud Sect list?"

Although they were just joking, Nina remembered all these words.
