Bab 752: Challenge, Everywhere

After defeating Kurogane, Fein's reputation in the Central Plains skyrocketed. His name spread far and wide, reaching the ears of people from all walks of life. Merchants, travelers, and even nobles whispered about the swordsman who defeated the infamous Demon Blade.

As he walked through the bustling streets of the Central Plains, Fein could feel the stares of the people around him. Some looked at him with awe, while others with envy or fear. But Fein paid them no mind, his focus still on his goal of becoming the strongest swordsman in the land.

As he passed by a group of merchants, one of them called out to him. "Congratulations on your victory, swordsman! You've made a name for yourself in these parts."

Fein nodded in acknowledgement but didn't stop to chat. He had more important things to do than talk to strangers. He continued on his way, his eyes scanning the crowds for any potential challengers.
