Chapter 204: Domineering
"Just accept your mistake, Rosy," Arthur said, his tone a little forceful.
Emilia also didn't understand the reason behind Arthur's reaction. After all, just some time ago, he had urged them to move faster to find the source of the disturbance. Now that they did, his attitude had completely flipped.
Sensing the situation was not in her favor, the fiery-dressed Rosy gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, if he can defeat me in a duel, then I will apologize."
Hearing her loud proclamation, the hall fell silent, with everyone showing different reactions to her words.
Lucas and Zose had strange smiles on their faces. Although they didn't know exactly how strong David was, they knew his power was not something that this girl could match.
Both of them exchanged glances with knowing looks in their eyes. They could already imagine the scene that was going to unfold.
The proclamation made Arthur adjust his thought process. He didn't immediately jump to stop her from speaking. Arthur had some other thoughts; he really was interested in seeing just how strong David was.
David's face remained calm. He asked indifferently, "Why should I fight with you?"
Upon hearing this, Rosy was momentarily stunned, and then a victorious smile appeared on her face. If David was powerful, he wouldn't have refused her challenge.
However, she quickly thought of a way to provoke, "What, are you afraid?"
Hearing this, David smiled faintly. He looked at Rosy and said, "Do you really want to fight?"
"Of course," Rosy responded quickly. The more David tried to delay her, the more eager she became.
"Alright, let's switch places, then I will give you this opportunity," David lightly chuckled after watching the excited expression on her face. Then, he started walking toward the training ground inside the bank.
Although the bank of Eternal Origin had not changed much, a special area designed for friendly duels was constructed.
Although they had the option to take their fights on the Green Heaven web, the boys preferred to settle their differences in reality.
As the bank revenue increased, David was able to fork out some extra spirit stones to increase the size of the bank's internal space.
At this moment, the training ground was quite lively with Mary and Sebastian sparring with each other.
Noticing David's arrival, Mary and Sebastian glanced in his direction and frowned. But noticing the situation, they refrained from saying anything and moved to the side.
"Darling, who are these people?" Mary asked while frowning. If they were normal customers, there would be no need for them to come here.
David smiled in her direction and didn't speak much, trying to appear mysterious.
Seeing this, Mary was greatly annoyed, thinking he was trying to pretend.
These days, David was up to all sorts of weird things. Mary had no idea what he might do next.
Arthur and Emilia, who were behind David, were looking at Mary with surprise, especially Arthur, who looked slightly dazed. Such a beautiful woman... Although Arthur had seen plenty of graceful women with beauty capable of shaking the entire Realms, none could match the peerless visage of the woman in front of him.
Long black hair that slightly twisted and turned like a river gently meandering through a mountain slope, eyes that shone like a gemstone, capturing the hearts of anyone who laid their eyes on them.
Arthur's heart rate unconsciously accelerated, and his throat turned slightly dry.
Suddenly, Arthur seemed to flash with golden light, and immediately he felt a chill run down his spine. The next moment, his eyes flashed with a look of intense horror, and the way he looked at Mary completely changed.
"This woman..." Arthur muttered under his breath and immediately became alert of everything around him. He suddenly had the feeling of directly walking inside the lion's den of his own accord.
Unaware of Arthur's mental condition, Rosy took a gentle leap and appeared in the Arena.
However, not everyone was like Rosy. Some paid extremely close attention to Arthur, one of them being Emilia.
"Indeed, something was definitely wrong here." Suddenly, the image from tens of years ago flashed in her head. The young man who looked so innocent had completely transformed into a completely different being.
"Come on, let me see what you've got," Rosy eagerly looked at David, very much wanting to defeat David. At this time, she was already imagining his shocked and fearful expression.
Even when there was no wind in the large hall, her dress seemed to sway slightly from side to side like shifting sand in the desert.
Hearing her bold proclamation, David took one step forward, and in the next moment, he was in the area facing Rosy with indifferent eyes.
"Let me clarify beforehand, light injuries while sparring are common. I hope you won't blame me," Rosy stated matter-of-factly, looking very assured of her victory.
David also looked at her actions and couldn't understand where she was getting all this confidence from.
He didn't bother replying and only motioned her to begin. Such actions could be considered very rude normally, but David didn't care about the formalities.
While the two were getting ready to fight, Mary walked closer to Lucas and Zose and asked in a low voice, "Can anyone of you care to fully explain what the hell is going on?"
At her question, both the poor guys, one guard and the other a sweeper, exchanged glances and decided to honestly tell everything they knew without holding anything back.
From the arrogant duck's sad stories, they already knew how terrifying this woman could be. They had no intentions of offending such a figure.
Meanwhile, back on the stage, David was looking at the status report of the woman in front of him.
[Name - Rosy Dew
Age - 3000
Cultivation - Yin and Yang Realm
Crystallisation of Life - Frost Iron Palm, a Heavenly King grade Crystallization of Life.
Special Note - Do not be deceived by her appearance. Her small body packs a powerful punch, combined with her unique Crystallisation of Life which temporarily multiplies her power by a thousand-fold. You may find your head smashed like a watermelon.
She also has a Grade Three Heaven and Earth Treasure, 'Blissful Greetings of Giant God' in her possession]
David glanced through the info and then landed on the bracelet on her left hand. Only around her hand was the mana the most chaotic.
He decided to go all out and not underestimate her. But that didn't mean he wasn't confident.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Rosy moved, like a fierce tigress, charging toward her prey fiercely and ruthlessly.
The people like Lucas and Zose were barely able to notice her sudden movement. When they were even able to react, Rosy was already in front of David, launching a punch in an extremely dominating fashion.
Her tiny, cute little hands seemed to contain an extreme, almost otherworldly power that made the very air scream in horror as it was suddenly heated to a frightening temperature by her sudden movement.
To onlookers who were still able to observe the scene, David's body seemed to have frozen in fear, as his eyes showed not a single ripple.
Some onlookers indeed seemed to have frozen, but not David. Instead, the extremely fast-moving Rosy moved extremely slowly under David's eyes, like a snail.
He watched her fist coming dangerously close to his face without doing anything.
The air seemed to have almost solidified in front of her fist, becoming as hard as a stone. As her fist forcefully cut through it, the air exploded with sparks of fiery electricity flashing around her fist edges.
Rosy's small fist seemed to have turned into a small orb filled with apocalyptic power.
"Die!!"
Just as the fist was about to blast David to some corner of the shadow realm, he finally reacted, and raised his palm slowly to meet the incoming fist.
Soon the palm and the fist contacted with each other, one flashing with earth-shaking intensity and the other looking completely simple and crude.
Booooom!!
A huge shockwave that almost sent Lucas flying filled the hall. The scene that Rosy imagined didn't happen. Her fiery fist seemed to have struck a mountain, barely causing any ripple.
Except for the slight shaking of clothes, David looked completely unharmed.
"How is this possible?" Rosy questioned the reality in front of her with her mouth wide open.
The attack that had never failed her in the past failed to do any damage to her opponent for the first time ever.
Not just her, even her companions looked surprised. They had seen Rosy in action many times before. Especially Arthur, although he was already expecting David to be strong, he wasn't expecting this level of strength.
The scene made him feel despair for the first time after a long amount of time.
When the commotion died down, David raised his eyebrow and asked in a confused voice, "This is it?"
The hall suddenly seemed to have fallen completely silent.
