The Invincible constitution : Rise of the Supreme One

Chapter 58: Spar

The Lord brought Eli Shan and Luise to the practice field, where numerous young teenagers were diligently practicing their sword swings.

As they saw the trio entering, all the students stopped practicing and bowed down before them.

The Lord acknowledged them with a nod, gesturing toward Eli Shan. "This is my son, Eli Shan." Then, turning his attention to Luise, he continued, "And you have already met my wife, Luise."

The students nodded with excitement. "Yes, teacher," their eyes scanning Eli Shan from head to toe, trying to discern what was special about him. Apart from his striking beauty, they saw nothing extraordinary about him.

Eli Shan also observed the students, noticing that the strongest among them had reached the eighth stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. However, he could sense that their sword cultivation was much higher than their realm suggested.

As he was lost in thought, his father interrupted, smiling at him. "Do you want to fight with them?"

The students gasped in shock. The teacher was asking his three-year-old son to fight against them? Perhaps he wanted his son to understand the strength of those outside their home? After all, a man sheltered by others is like a flower grown in a greenhouse.

Eli Shan nodded eagerly, his small face brimming with excitement. "Yes, Father, I want to spar with the seniors."

His father nodded. "Go and take a wooden sword." Then he turned to a student. "Li Bai, you will fight with this brat without holding anything back. Teach him a good lesson." His eyes swept over the others as he commanded, "Everyone, give them space to fight."

Li Bai was shocked upon hearing his teacher's command. He was at the fifth stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, and his strength was considered significant even within the village. And now, his teacher was asking him to fight a three-year-old who didn't even have a speck of cultivation?

But rejecting his teacher's order was not an option, so he nodded, stepping out from amidst the students and looking down at little Eli Shan, who was barely as tall as his waist.

Eli Shan cupped his fists respectfully. "Have mercy, senior."

Eli Shan's polite attitude gave Li Bai a good impression. Li Bai's stern expression softened as he nodded gently before saying, "I will do my best to guide you through our duel."

Eli Shan grinned, displaying his small, white teeth. "Thank you, Senior."

The Lord stepped between them, commanding, "Take your positions... and... let the fight begin!"

With that, Li Bai rushed towards Eli Shan, throwing a punch without using any weapon.

Eli Shan stood in his sword stance, ready to counterattack. However, as he saw Li Bai running at him, he felt as though Li Bai was moving in slow motion.

"What's happening?" Eli Shan whispered in bewilderment. "Is this because I was a former Origin Realm cultivator? Or is it because I am integrating with my universe?"

He couldn't really guess, but it seemed more likely to be the latter.

Soon, Eli Shan saw Li Bai throwing the punch. This punch was so slow to him that he could dodge it even while sleepwalking. And that's what he did! He slowly moved aside, dodging the punch as if it were nothing but a breeze of air.

"..."

"Huh? He dodged it?"

"Was it a coincidence? How could he dodge senior brother's punch so easily?"

"Yeah, I guess it was a coincidence."

"Still, dodging senior brother's punch means our teacher's son has great potential."
