[Updated] [Rewritten]

_______ ____ _

Swish! Clang!

HISS! HISS

The cave was alive with the sounds of clashing swords and the hissing of a snake. Three observers stood at the entrance, watching with rapt attention. The boy was holding his own against the Python, dodging its attacks with ease and using the environment to his advantage.

"He has nice fighting skills and speed." commented one of them.

"Yes, you are right." Agreed with him the other.

"He is using the environment to his advantage." Said the girl.

"Sister is very sharp as always!" The handsome one complimented.

Scarface man glanced at them for a brief moment and focused his attention on the fight.

"But his cultivation is much weaker than the Python and he will definitely lose the fight if this continues…." Said the scarface man while pondering about something.

"Oh no, he was injured." He exclaimed after the boy received an injury from the Python.

"Is Python a poisonous beast?" Questioned the woman concernedly. The handsome one and the woman looked at the scarface man for an answer.

"…"

"Rest assured… It's not poisonous…."

Sigh.

The woman sighed in relief after hearing the scarface man.

A few moments later. The fight was nearing its end. Because...

"Wait, Python is finally using its spirit power." Said the handsome boy.

"Boy is also using his spirit power." The woman said while looking at the boy who was preparing to counterattack.

"Isn't it time to interfere with the fight, sister?" The scarface man asked.

"Huh, yes, it is time." Answered woman. It seems she forgot that the boy could not beat that beast by himself. And she was also amazed by the young boy's courage in the face of death.

The Python moved, and the boy also started his attack. As soon as the Python moved the woman also started her attack.

"Meteor Spirit Sword Strike!" She muttered and attacked with a sword.

This technique was like its name. Her sword looked like a falling meteor that was ready to crush anything. The sword glowed with spirit power as the woman struck down Python's belly.

Swish.

She landed on the ground gracefully. She had not even made a sound while landing. And as her attack reached the Python, her sword pierced its skin without resistance, and she twisted the sword swiftly and Python's internal organs were cut off.

The Python shrieked in pain. As soon as it lifted its head from the pain, it met with another attack that came from the boy.

Swish!

The boy's sword pierced right through the Python's head.

~HISS ~HISS

Python hissed in pain and shook its head around, right and left, and finally fell to the ground.

~Thud

"Huh? What happened?" The girl heard a surprised voice from the boy.

"Hey, what's your name?" The woman asked curious.

She was interested in this boy after seeing his fight.

"My name...."

"Angel…"

Then, suddenly the boy collapsed on the ground.

Thud! Thud!

At this time, other men also jumped in.

"So his name is –" was muttering the woman.

"No, his name is not Angel."

The scarface man interjected before the woman could say the boy's name wrong.

"Why?" She asked confused.

"I think he saw you while he was losing consciousness and thought you were an Angel who rescued him." The scarface man replied while facepalming at her simple stupidity.

"Yes, you look like an angel." The handsome man complimented her.

After hearing him the woman had a little blush on her cheeks and she looked at the boy and shake her head and then looked at the Python while facing backward from the other two men.

"What will we do?" The handsome man asked.

"Of course, we will do what we intended to do!" The scarface man replied as a grin appeared on his face.

Huan's POV:

Hmm?

"Angel…"

"I didn't say my name…."

"Angel… You didn't hear my name…."

""I heard you….""

"Huh?"

"Angel?"

Inside a room.

"Angel!?"

Someone shouted as he opened his eyes.

But…

"Monster---mon-ster"

He shouted after seeing something in front of his face. Then he abruptly stood up and ran into the corner of the room while shouting.

"Don't come near me! I am a powerful cultivator!"

He was trembling from the fear. He sure must have seen something scary…

"I'm not that ugly for you to fear me like that." An annoying voice sounded from someone in the room.

He was the scarface man. He was annoyed to hear someone calling him a monster.

The one who was trembling in the corner was obviously Huan.

Huan saw the scarface man's face after opening his eyes. So understand...

"Huh?"

Huan lifted his head and shouted again:

"You are that thug!"

"Really?!" The scarface man was stupified. "You are more stupid than me..."

"Do I look like a thug?" The scarface man asked.

"Ye-yes!" Huan replied meekly. He was afraid of offending the thug in front of him.

"Huh!" The scarface man was stunned after hearing Huan.

"Were you the one who rescued me?" Asked Huan.

"Yes and No." He answered.

Huan was confused.

"Yes, I was the one who found you. But…" The Scarface man looked at the boy who was anticipating an answer.

Then he smiled and said the answer Huan wanted to hear. "My sister was the one who rescued you."

"Yes, I knew I wouldn't make a mistake by calling her an Angel. In fact, you don't look like her at all." Huan nodded his head in realization.

"Boy, you are getting on my nerves non-stop. Didn't you say-" Before the scarface could say his sentence, Huan cut him off.

"Where is the Angel?"

"Huh, have you already fallen in love, boy?" The scarface man asked.

"No, I just want to express my gratitude to her" Huan blushed as he remembered her image.

"I see… Well, she and my brother-in-law already left." The scarface muttered as he smiled mysteriously.

"What? Where?" Huan asked anxiously. While the 'brother-in-law' hit him like a bolt of lightning.

"To the exam, of course." The scarface replied.

"Huh, exam?" Huan's face went blank. "Exam... Exam... Exam!"

"Oh no, I forgot the exam?!" He shouted in despair.

"What will I do now?" Huan fell to his knees clutching his head. It was now over. He was falling into despair.

"Hey, will you go to the exam?" The scarface said. "There is still time left."

"Yes, of course." Huan's face instantly lit up.

"Then I will be going..." Huan opened the room hurriedly and stepped outside, leaving the scarface man behind.

"…" (Speechless)

After a minute, Huan came back with an embarrassed face. "Can you take me to the exam place?"

"…No." The scarface man rejected him with a dead tone.

"Please…" Huan used his only weapon -> cuteness...?

"...Ok. But not because you asked with this face, because my sister asked me to bring you to the exam." The scarface man said while looking at the boy seriously.

"Thanks…haha" Then Huan laughed awkwardly.

"Then… Let's go. We will be there in a minute."

"Yes"

The scarface man started the way.

If one were to look closely, one could see an evil green on his face.
