Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 113: Round one



David and Ruby were standing beside the riverbank, facing each other.

The sunrays shone directly on their faces, highlighting David's serious expression.

A gentle, cool breeze filled with moisture hit the surroundings trying to calm down the heated atmosphere.

After sparring with Sebastian a couple of times, David was familiar with his ability, but after all this time, he still didn't know what Ruby was capable of.

Moreover, every time she took action, her attacks were quick and clean, giving him no time to better understand her powers.

While thinking, David paid the bank the required spirit stones, and a window filled with information appeared in front of him.

Every time he looked at her status report, David felt tongue-tied.

"Five freaking Greater laws! And such high comprehension as well in all of them."

David was no longer that ignorant youth from before; he understood laws were divided into various categories.

She was a monster for sure. Moreover, wasn't she worried about breaking through to the next realm? Will her spiritual space be able to bear the pressure of five Greater laws?

David didn't understand her thought process.

Mary and Sebastian, along with Borrito, were standing some distance away from the two of them.

"I don't think the red-haired lady can defeat father," Borrito, sitting in Mary's bosom, commented as a matter of fact.

"Shut up! What do you know." Mary grabbed his head and gently shook it.

Although she also wanted David to win, defeating Ruby wasn't going to be an easy task.

However, she wasn't entirely hopeless; the gap between each rank couldn't be that large. After all, they were only in the Foundation Building Realm; how big of a gap could they even have?

Sebastian, on the other hand, had a contemplating expression on his face. He would have definitely disagreed with Mary if he knew about her internal thoughts.

Meanwhile, David looked at Ruby and didn't know how to begin.

Although she might have ranked so high in the ranking, when it came to raw power output, David was a hundred percent sure no one in the same realm could match him, not to talk about Ruby.

At this time, David's spiritual space, which was the source of a cultivator's power, was ninety times larger than average.

While Ruby's spiritual space was somewhere around thirty-five kilometers.

"Wait a minute!" David's thoughts suddenly stopped.

He might be ninety times stronger than average Foundation Building Realm cultivators, but compared to Ruby, the difference wasn't that much.

Instantly, David's face turned serious; however, he was still confident as the gap was still huge.

"Ahem! When will they fight?" At this time, Borrito's voice came from the distance.

It had been more than five minutes, and the two were standing in place like statues with no one taking the initiative to launch an attack.

Borrito was starting to get frustrated.

However, even if he wanted to take the initiative, David just couldn't. Making the first move in front of such an experienced opponent was just plain stupid.

While David was thinking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly started to heat up.

Confused for a moment, David moved to the side, and suddenly a fist filled with incredible power appeared in front of his face.

It was too late to dodge.

At this time, Borrito's eyes were opened wide as saucers as he watched David purposefully moving towards the cold beauty's fist on his own accord.

Even the experienced cultivators such as Mary and Sebastian were looking at this scene with confusion clearly written on their faces.

They couldn't understand David's thought process.

Just as the fist was about to strike David's handsome face.

His body suddenly disappeared from the place and appeared ten meters up in the air.

However, before he could feel happy, an ominous-looking purple cloud appeared at his position and covered his body.

"Damn! She predicted my next move." David gritted his teeth and blinked once again, this time directly on top of Ruby.

Ruby's face was expressionless even when David suddenly appeared in front of her as if she had already predicted this.

"Explode," Ruby slowly muttered in her head.

In the next moment, however, she froze and looked at David's incoming fist in shock.

Not expecting her command to fail, she hurriedly raised her hands in front of her to protect herself.

"Defense."

Following her words, the air in front of David flashed with unknown symbols and solidified into the shape of an octagonal shield.

Bang! David's punch, filled with a tremendous amount of power, hit the shield. Numerous cracks similar to spider webs appeared on the spot where his punch landed, but it was no longer able to move further.

However, David had finally gotten a good opportunity to strike, and he wasn't going to waste it.

Sizzle! In the next moment, his fist was covered with purple lightning.

Bang!

This time the shield wasn't able to hold for long and shattered like broken glass with shards flying in all directions.

Ruby had already gotten time to prepare herself and launch an attack.

In the next moment, her eyes flashed with deep vermillion, and she shouted in a low voice,

"Burning Desire - Infinite Blade Storm!"

Following her words, thousands of swords appeared in the hundreds of meters around her.

Each of these swords looked to be exquisitely carved by the finest craftsman that the world had seen, their blades shimmering with golden light as they moved towards David at insane speed.

David looked at this scene and frowned; all of his escape paths had been sealed, even using blink was useless at this point.

In the next moment, a smile appeared at the corner of David's face.
