Chapter 421: Challenge
"H-how? How did he best someone far stronger than him, at least in cultivation realm?" Dory asked in disbelief. Considering how the duel is less of a duel and more of a one sided clap, it make sense for her to be utterly shocked.
"That just how powerful Ryker is, and why I favor him greatly. Father, uncle and aunt also favor him greatly, though you probably guess it by now," Lariz told her before watching as his ally began to walk away.
However, his step was stop when someone walk in front of him, "I challenge you to a duel, to claim the honor of the Blas Family," another person, an expert at the peak of Genesis Sea with a badge with the emblem of a crow on his dress shirt told him.
Ryker wondered if he should deny it before deciding to just go with it. After all, if he refuse and his relation with the Crown Prince is known, it could have some effect to the other man reputation.
"Yes, lets get this over with," but before he could get on top of the duelling ground again, he was stopped by one of the guards.
"No one is allowed to continuously fighting. Rest for 10 minutes before any of you can begin the fight," the guard told him before pushing him to a nearby bench.
He merely nodded before taking a seat, watching the other man heatedly argue with the guard before nodding begrudgingly, heading to another bench, but not before throwing him another look.
Ryker rolled his eyes. Though his current opponent will be a lot more powerful, he still believe he can handle them, though their Cultivation Technique would make them stronger than some of the foes he had been up against.
He prepared himself, slowly recovering as he waited before he would be allow to have another fight.

"Let see how long your luck remained," the 2nd foe said, looking down at him, both literally and figuratively. Similar to the previous member of Blas Family, the man took out a sword, seemingly intent on impaling the man with it.
The same as before, Ryker did not take any weapon with, as he wanted to test himself. Which did cause some whisper between the spectators.
"Why did he did not take any weapon?"
"Maybe he did not have one? After all, not every rich enough to get a decent Grade 9 Weapon,"
"True, not to mention it likely he did not expect to win, and so did not want his weapon destroyed during the fight,"
Similar to before, Ryker tuned out the spectators' gossiping as he he has better things to do. Namely, fighting against the Blas Family personal. The man either from the previous generation or he is a servant of the Blas Family, the reason why his achieve the peak of Genesis Realm and so, the man was assured of his victory, as they began to fight.
-x-
As a respectable servant of the Blas Family, he need to make sure anyone who disrespect the Blas Family pay for their action. He thought the fight would be easy. After all, he fought against a 2nd Stage Genesis Sea expert. No doubt the fight will end in 19 seconds or so.
However, that is all the other man daydream about, as he soon find out how different reality with dreams.

"H-how! A-are you so strong!" the servant exclaimed, as he began to get frustrated, his attack evaded or block by the other man.
"Is this all you got?" Ryker cocked his brows, feeling the fight slowly boring him. The man is a lot stronger than he gave credit to, but still in the realm of him beating the other man up.
"Let me beat you up!". the servant roared, swinging his blade in hope of hitting something.
Ryker block the swing, before closing in on his foe. He then punched the servant guts, making him spew out some gut as he was sent flying, repeating what happened prior.
-x-
"I should-" I challenge you to a duel!" Ryker turned around, feeling slightly angry from how many times he had to duel. While he did not mind, doing it continuously starting to grate on his nerve.
He was about to refuse when he sense the other man's cultivation.
"Sure, lets have a duel," he said, with some enthusiasm. After all, it is really hard for him to find a Noble expert that dare to become a punching bag.
-x-
"What?! Someone should stop this duel! This will be a massacres!" Dory exclaimed. Considering the fact a Genesis Sea would fight against a Noble expert, many people thought the same was as Dory.
Even from his spot, Lariz could her whisper of how Ryker meeting his doom. Some people, likely from the Blas Familly all said he used wicked means to win, causing his non-existent reputation to plummet.
Lariz wanted to snicker. After all, there would be some people that will help clear Ryker's name soon, and it is someone no nobles would dare to antogonize.
"No, it will be a good fight for Ryker. The other man might even make him work for it," his words caused the two women besides him to look at him like the just grown an extra head.
-x-
After the 10 minutes break, the two people, one at the Genesis Sea while the other at the Noble realm, began to fight. Most people expect the fight to end in less than a second, as the gap is just too wide. No normal Genesis Sea experts would be able to hold their ground against a Noble realm expert, unless one is at the Half-Noble realm. Emphasis on normal Genesis Sea.
The crowds spectate as the two fighters fought against one another, neither side having an advantage. Which shocked the audience, some even having their mouth wide open as the result.
Dory could not tear her eyes from the fight. "Do you knew he is this strong?" she asked her eldest brother.
"Of course. This is not the first Noble realm opponent he fought. He had fought some before, and as long as they are at the 1st Stage of Noble realm, he can defeat them," Lariz said, earning a shock gasp out of Dory and Natali, right after Ryker slammed his opponent to the ground, head first.
"Let's end this tonight. I want to rest after all this duel," he said before walking away. The defeated Noble expert could not reply, his head being buried inside the ground the reason for it.
