The legendary cultivation system

Chapter 38 - Tough fight sweet rewards

"Playing smart, you all chose the weakest of us. Just think if we started playing smart, Liam, you are from Megumi City. We didn't attack it out of respect for your brother, but if you support this guy, then..." a disciple, who seemed to be their leader, said, smiling mischievously.

When Liam heard it,he shuddered. In front of the Edward family, there family has no existence.

he was feeling complicated. What should he do? Should he choose his friend or his family?

Blake was also from Megumi City, and he couldn't afford to put his family in danger.

Seeing them uncomfortable, Harry took the initiative and said, "It's between me and the Edward family. You should think twice before putting your hands on me or my friends' families."

"Definitely, we don't want to threaten your families, and I'm not an unreasonable person. I acknowledge your fight with my brother was for resources.

But I can't let you off after so many things happened," the leader said, grinning ear to ear.

Harry was already pissed off because they had tried to bully them throughout the month, and now he was sweet-talking. "Then, tell us how we can settle this once and for all," Harry asked, considering all possibilities.

"Why don't you fight with me? If you win, my family and I will never bother you in the future," their leader replied.

"Wait, do you have the authority to decide this on behalf of your whole family?" Harry asked skeptically.

The man chuckled and said, "I think you didn't recognize me. I am the eldest son of the Edward family, Logan Edward. Now, what do you think? Do I have enough authority or not?"

"It's not fair. You are an elemental master, and he is only a half cultivator," Tyler said, stepping forward.

Harry thought Tyler was trying to postpone the fight, so he was about to stop him, but Tyler continued, "You can fight both of us at the same time."

Hearing this, Logan couldn't say 'no' outright. He was more scared of Tyler than Harry because he had seen Tyler doing something impossible. He has seen tyler predicting ethen's exact movements.

"No, we already decided it's between Harry and us," this time, young master Jake, who was still hiding behind his brother, said.

"Tyler, let me settle this. You just sit and enjoy," Harry assured Tyler.

[Quest: Win the fight Against Logan Edward. Rewards: ???]

Harry sighed. If the system was giving him a quest to win against Logan, then it shouldn't be an impossible thing.

The audience was enjoying their scuffle.

"He is Logan Edward, a prodigy. Despite being only 18 years old, he broke through to the elemental master level and has awakened the ice element," a disciple said to another.

"Of course, the Edward family is famous for their proficiency in the ice element. Although Logan recently got his ice element, he knows how to use it in diverse ways," another student said.

Two elders were watching this, and they contacted Aiden to inform him about the situation.

Hearing that Harry was about to fight with Logan, Aiden felt very annoyed. He knew that to win against an elemental master, Harry would use his soul body and expose his secret.

But he gave up, it was inevitable to hide such talent. He took control of the cameras and deleted all the files where Harry was captured training.

...

The temperature in the ring dropped drastically, the air turning frigid as Logan manifested an ice shard and launched it toward Harry.

Harry dodged the shard with ease, but in that split second, Logan had encased himself in a formidable armor of ice, each piece glinting in the cold light.

Seeing Logan's transformation, Harry charged forward, channeling Qi through his sword. The blade whistled as it sliced through the air, aimed straight at Logan.

Logan, anticipating the attack, used his icy gauntlet to grab Harry's sword. Frost crept up the blade instantly. With his other hand, Logan punched Harry hard in the stomach, sending him skidding back several meters.

Harry felt the numbing cold seep into his body, but his Iron Body technique absorbed most of the impact, keeping him in the fight.

Logan smirked, surprised by Harry's resilience. "How is he still standing?" he thought, launching a barrage of sharp ice shards at his opponent.

Harry dodged the shards using Phantom Stride, his movements a blur as he weaved through the icy projectiles. He could see that while Logan was skilled in manipulating ice, his attacks lacked raw power.

Determined, Harry used Phantom Stride and Serpent's Coil in unison, closing the distance between them. As he approached, Logan unleashed an Ice Breeze, chilling the air and slowing Harry's movements. Seizing the opportunity, Logan grabbed Harry's arm.

Harry saw his chance and used Soul Pulse, sending a burst of soul energy through Logan's arm.

"Soul energy!" Logan gasped, trying to fortify his defenses, but the energy had already penetrated, clouding his mind with disorienting illusions.

Harry's left hand suffered frostbite from Logan's icy grip, rendering it useless. But with his right hand, he drove his sword into Logan's right leg, forcing him to retreat. Logan quickly created several ice walls to gain distance and tend to his wound, using his element to stop the bleeding.

When Harry broke through the ice barriers, Logan was ready, manifesting an ice sword supplemented with Qi. "How can you use both energies at the same time?" Logan demanded, charging at Harry.

Their swords clashed, the impact sending shockwaves through the arena. With each collision, Harry's sword became more encased in ice, forcing him to adapt. He began supplementing his sword with soul energy, sending waves of it at Logan.

Logan, sensing the danger, created a whirlwind of ice and snow, making it difficult for Harry to see and maneuver. He pressed his advantage, pushing Harry to his limits and using his frostbite technique on Harry.

Both were low on stamina, and their Qi was almost depleted.

Harry, seeing this, smirked because it was going as planned. He had one last technique—Soul Drain. Harry locked eyes with Logan, channeling his soul energy into the technique. Logan felt a sudden drain on his strength, his vitality ebbing away as Harry's energy replenished.

"What is this?" Logan gasped, his movements becoming sluggish.

With replenished Qi, Harry dodged Logan's next attack. He placed his hand on Logan's chest, intensifying the Soul Drain. Logan roared in frustration and pain, trying to break free, but he lacked energy to retaliate against Harry's ironclad grip. Cracks began to appear in Logan's ice armor, his strength waning with each passing second.

Harry summoned the last of his soul energy, infusing it into his sword. With a powerful thrust, he drove the blade through Logan's chest, shattering the ice armor completely. Logan fell to his knees.

Breathing heavily, Harry stepped back, nearly exhausted. Logan's eyes widened in disbelief as he collapsed, unable to comprehend how he had been defeated.

Harry, standing victorious, looked down at his fallen opponent. "Remember your promise."
