Chapter 1766: Chapter 1766: Eric Hulan
The black divine might coins looked like both gold and wood, but they were neither gold nor wood. When they hit the floor, they made blunt and heavy sounds.
About three to four hundred divine might coins fell down from the fourth floor. All those coins became scattered on the ground.
When the proving godly warriors in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant saw such a scene, their breaths quickened, especially those on the first and second floors. A few True Gods also revealed an expression of interest. All their eyes were focused on the coins on the ground.
Four hundred divine might coins were enough to buy two houses in Six-Burden Divine City. Such an amount was not easily gained by the warriors. To many low-rank True Gods, it was a huge sum of money.
Although the warriors in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant were envious, no one dared to pick the coins up. No common warrior would easily throw away such wealth. The one who dared to toss out such a large number of coins must be very influential socially.
Whir!
On the fourth floor, a figure descended and silently landed on the ground. The eccentric arrival of the figure piqued the interests of those around him.
No warriors below the top-rank True Gods in the divine land were able to fly in the air. However, one could still be creative as he fell from a high place. The man from the fourth floor used a clever method to reduce the force of the impact and descended just like a nimble cat.
The man wore a purple robe and a purple gold crown. Redness decorated his lips while his skin was flawlessly white. Beautiful features similar to a young girl's could be seen in his face. Additionally, his appearance looked no older than that of a youth at sixteen or seventeen years of age.
“No one dares to challenge me? You can at least try. If you win, all of these divine might coins will be yours,” he said calmly yet with an arrogant tone.
He had previously thrown a divine might coin to challenge Holt, but was rejected. Nonetheless, he still craved for a battle. Thus, a pile of divine might coins was dropped by him to trigger fights with other warriors.
The divine might coins on the floor tempted those proving godly warriors. Many of them became envious. Their mouths twitched as they could only shake their heads. None of them dared to challenge the young man.
“He's from the Hulan Clan.”
“You mean that violent brat? Whoever dares to challenge him is truly courting death!”
“He is extremely strong, and he doesn't hold back at all when he fights. Dangerous is the only word to describe him. Breaking an arm or a leg is not a big deal, but we may even lose our lives if we fight with him!”
The divine might coins were indeed great temptations, but their lives were clearly more important. So the warriors were still reluctant to accept his challenge.
The Hulan Clan was one of the top three clans under the Han Clan's rule. It was also one of the few second-tier clans in the thirty-six regions. An influential background and powerful warriors were possessed by them. They had a close relationship with the Han Clan, and some of them supported the Han Clan on the Floating Island.
The young man's real name was Eric Hulan. With exceptional talent and abilities, his potential was very great. He just reached fifteen years of age this year, but he was already a proving godly warrior. Eric's appearance was even more exquisite than a woman's. However, his attacks were extremely ruthless and lethal.
He went to Six-Burden Divine City a month ago. During his battles with others, he had crippled three proving godly warriors while another one died. His techniques were simply vicious and brutal to the point that he became famous for the injuries and deaths he caused.
The dead warrior was a talented member of a third-tier clan. After his clansmen knew of what happened, they went to reason with the Hulan Clan. In the end, the Hulan Clan only gave them some money for compensation.
Given his misdeeds, the divine might coins on the ground didn't look that good anymore. It wasn't enough to entice the warriors around him to a rather deadly and dangerous fight with him.
For some time, the restless atmosphere in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant quieted down. No one seemed to be interested in the coins scattered by Eric.
However, after a while, a burly man walked out from the right corner of the first floor. He was eight feet tall and was as tall as an iron tower. Most of the people around were focused on the man's right hand. It was covered with a layer of brown scales which seemed to be the scales of some fierce animal.
The burly man walked towards Eric and said with a grin, “I want to challenge you.”
Generally, the proving godly warriors of the clans of second and third tiers were on the third floor and above. The elite disciples of these clans weren't interested in several hundred divine might coins. Such money might not be worth their time or possible injuries.
However, those proving godly warriors on the first and second floors were different. If they won these divine might coins, it was very likely that their fates would be changed. So it would be a reasonable risk for them. Besides, some of them had never heard of Eric before, so they weren't afraid of him.
As Eric saw that someone had finally come up to challenge him, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards. A beautiful smile came across his pretty face.
“What a handsome man! He is even more alluring than a girl,” one girl said with a soft sigh. She was filled with envy about Eric's good looks.
As two divine might coins flew into the air and shot out of Brilliant Moon Restaurant, the burly man didn't say anything else. He leaned forward and charged towards Eric like a ferocious beast. A malicious aura came out of the man as he attacked fiercely. 𝘙À𝐍оᛒĘȿ
As he ran bravely towards Eric, the large man stretched out his right hand. The brown scales on his right hand began to flicker with a faint luster. Suddenly, a myriad of colors flowed through his right hand.
“It's a poisonous hand! Watch out!”
“He cultivates the poison technique. You have to be careful of his right hand!”
“Those who dare to challenge Eric must be strong.”
The burly man rushed forward. As he pointed his right hand towards Eric, the man tried his best to grab Eric. The air in his palm was foul, and each of his fingers was as thick as an arm. It was not a hand. With its strange appearance, it was clearly the huge claw of a vicious beast!
Eric stood firmly in the center of the arena. He calmly watched the huge claw approached him. Suddenly, with a callous look in his face, he stretched out his finger and pointed it at the center of the claw.
Thud!
The burly man's charge was immediately stopped! Eric's finger landed at the center of the claw. With just his index finger, he had already blocked the claw. At the same time, everyone heard a strange sound, as if some kind of metal vibrated violently.
Then, circles of black ripples suddenly appeared around the burly man's arm. The ripples were extremely small. Only those with keen eyesight would be able to notice them.
As soon as the ripples appeared, they began to tighten.
Rustle!
Immediately, the sound of a shattered object echoed in everyone's ears. Something was obviously broken in the man's body!
The burly man's right hand was chopped into seven or eight pieces. A mixture of shock and pain was seen in his expression as each piece of his right hand fell to the ground.
“Ahhh...”
The burly man let out a loud roar. With a terrified expression, he grabbed his severed right arm and retreated seven to eight steps.
Usually, the fight should have ended at that moment. Out of politeness and respect, Eric should give the man some time to catch his breath. After all, there was no deep-seated hatred between them.
However, Eric didn't stop at all. While the burly man retreated frantically, Eric walked closer and stretched his finger towards the burly man. If his finger hit the burly man's head, the burly man would definitely be decapitated.
As he thought of this, the burly man finally understood why no one dared to challenge Eric.
A deathly pale expression covered the burly man's face. In a moment of desperation, he rolled horizontally on the ground. His legs stomped on the ground abruptly, and his entire body flew forward. Finally, he crashed pathetically into the outside of the patio.
Some people were eating outside the patio. They were surprised as the burly man suddenly crashed towards their meal. The burly man had smashed his way through quite a few tables under the impact, but he had managed to keep his life in the end.
As he failed to take the man's life, Eric had a look of regret on his face. A disappointed look was on his expression. He gently waved his index finger, and a few black ripples appeared around it. Each of his motions was dangerous as if some kind of sharp tool was attached to his finger.
“What a vicious young man.”
Zen sit comfortably in his own seat. Nonetheless, his eyes were already focused on Eric's direction.
Eric had the slightest bit of scruples when he attacked. With a murderous aura, he wanted to kill his opponent. However, his actions were too excessive under such circumstances.
The divine might coins in the patio tempted Zen as well. Such a huge amount would be beneficial to him. Nonetheless, he still had no intention to make a move.
Just then, the young lady from Brilliant Moon Restaurant led a few waiters to bring many delicate dishes to Zen. The servants placed the dishes on Zen's table naturally and smoothly. A marvelous meal was immediately served in front of Zen.
Everyone's attention was originally focused on Eric. Coincidentally, Eric was not far away from Zen. So Zen's rather boastful display stole their attention. On the first floor of Brilliant Moon Restaurant, many proving godly warriors only ordered one or two dishes with a few divine might coins. None of them ordered as many dishes as Zen.
Even the warriors on the third and fourth floors didn't order so many dishes.
Therefore, Zen immediately attracted the attention of all the people in Brilliant Moon Restaurant. Even Eric became interested in Zen.
They all stared intently at Zen. From head to toe, Zen was gazed upon by the warriors around him, as if to gauge his worth. When they saw his clothes and face, they all felt he was a stranger. Moreover, Zen appeared to be an ordinary warrior with a humble background. How could he afford so many dishes?
“Sir, the dishes you ordered are all here. Please enjoy them.” The girl bowed towards Zen before she left with her servants. Her thought was the same as the others'; she wanted to see how Zen would settle the bill. She even suspected that Zen might not pay and instead escape after his meal. However, if Zen didn't have enough divine might coins, the girl had henchmen who were True Gods. Their establishment wouldn't be easy to mess with.
Zen didn't mind their gazes at all. He casually took a pair of chopsticks and poured himself a cup of wine. A delicious aroma of alcohol filled the air. Then, he pointed his finger towards the cup and a wisp of Fire Law began to spread out.
Whirl!
The wine in the cup was lit ablaze. A cyan flame intensely erupted from the cup.
