I.. Am God?-Chapter 229 Legendary Challenger Versus Han Jun

Outside, news of the Legendary Challenger has reached the entire empire as the citizens silently watched what would happen if the Hidden Dragon Sect's number one genius would face against the Legendary Challenger who went against geniuses of the entire continent in the last century.

That mysterious person who was only known by his title appeared a hundred years ago, in the Thousand Sword Sect of the north, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Divine Heaven Empire.

It was said that he just appeared out of nowhere and suddenly challenged their number one genius and defeated that genius with a landslide with his meter-long sword. After humiliating the genius with the easy win, the elders of the Thousand Sword Sect stood up and hunted down the challenger, yet they all died to his sword.

Because of that, he became infamous throughout the north. The challenger roamed the world and every time the challenger arrives, geniuses fall.

Slowly, the challenger became known throughout the continent, garnering both friends and foes in the battlefield. It could be said that no one is safe against him. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

Now that that person has come knocking on the doorstep of his sect, Matthias couldn't help but smile, "This could be a chance to hone you." He said as he turned to look at his silent son, who was also the honorary leader of the Imperial Guards, Han Jun.

Han Jun, who was seated at the side, wearing a purple robe and his black hair cascaded down smoothly on his back, sensed the gaze of his father. He looked towards Matthias and slowly stood up, "Although the Legendary Challenger is notoriously known for his undefeated record, I still wouldn't disappoint you, Imperial Father." He replied.

Matthias smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, "Win or lose, as long as you did your best, I wouldn't be disappointed, son." He assured Han Jun, "Now, go! Hone yourself and do your best." He raised his hand and let the Third Prince leave.

Han Jun nodded. He then turned to his mother, Luo Yueli, The Noble Consort, and bowed, "Your son Han Jun shall take his leave." He said. Luo Yueli nodded and took her son's hand and patted it, "Stay safe, Xiao Jun." She smiled before releasing her son's hand.

Han Jun nodded to his mother and turned to bow to his father respectfully before leaving the Throne Hall. After he left, Matthias then looked at the people below and invited them, "Shall we watch the match?"

When they all nodded, Matthias smiled and they soon vanished, reappearing inside the Hidden Realm of Hidden Dragon Sect.

They were inside the pagodas of the sect to maintain safety. Matthias then waved his hand, and soon, the image of Han Jun standing in front of a man appeared in front of them.

Outside of The Imperial Capital, a masked man wearing a simple white robe stood in front of the city wall's gate with his hand clasped behind his back. His aura emanated like a sharp sword capable of rending everything surrounding him.

His gaze hadn't left the gate as soon as he arrived here. After he had announced his challenge, he remained in front, standing stoutly and coldly like the Sword in The Stone.

A while later, the ground shook as the iron gate of the city slowly parted and gave way to a lone man, Han Jun, with his sword strapped on his waist.

The Third Prince walked steadily towards the challenger, with each of his steps creating a dent on the ground due to the heavy aura that he was emitting.

The Legendary Challenger narrowed his eyes beneath his mask as he stared at the Prince, or rather, the aura that he was giving off.

When the Prince arrived in front of him, Han Jun spoke to him emotionlessly, "The Imperial Capital or any cities under the Divine Heaven Empire must never be damaged in our fight, so we should conduct the match inside the Sect's Hidden Realm."

The Legendary Challenger just nodded before the two disappeared from their positions, startling everyone who wanted to watch the battle.

Suddenly, Imperial Soldiers marched out from the Imperial City with a huge yet thin box being carried by them. They then placed it on the city wall for all the people to see.

As soon as The Prince and The Challenger appeared inside the arena of the Hidden Dragon Sect, the box outside the Imperial Capital lit up and showed the footage from the inside.

"That's a huge television!" The people chattered, "Is it a new invention of the First Princess Han Yue?"

"Probably, considering the fact that she had already created the small version years ago and distributed it to the people."

While they were chatting, the two men in question stood silently in the arena. Inside, disciples of the Hidden Dragon Sect stood on their floating platforms as their instructors told them to watch the fight and learn.

In the arena, while looking at each other, Han Jun was the first one to open his mouth. "What is your goal for doing all these?" He asked.

The Legendary Challenger stayed silent for a long time before replying with his deep and robotic voice, "To prove myself to him."

Han Jun nodded, "I would not delve deep into your matters anymore. I acknowledge your reason." He then slowly slid his hand to his sword, with his eyes becoming sharp, "Shall we?"

The Legendary Challenger just nodded before suddenly vanishing. Shiing!

As soon as he vanished, Han Jun felt a prickly feeling at the right side of his neck. His sweat trickled in shock as he immediately angled the sword vertically beside his neck.

As he expected, a ridiculously strong attack made an impact with his sword, sending him flying to the side. The shockwave was so intense, that the floating platforms flew back. Fortunately, Matthias interfered and stabilized the platform's energy, and also dispatching a dome barrier to protect the disciples against the battle's aftershocks. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Although Han Jun was startled by the strength of the attack, he immediately reacted by plunging his sword to the ground, slowing him. Then, using the sword as something to hold on, he launched himself back to where he last saw the Challenger's figure.

As Matthias' descendant, he had inherited a lot of his power and skills, one of them was God Sight.

His eyes glew golden and immediately pinpointed the Challenger's location, secretly smirking when he sensed where he was.

The Challenger, seeing that Han Jun was flying aimlessly, used it as an advantage as he zoomed to the air and angled his sword to chop him down.

Suddenly, Han Jun's body turned 180 degrees, facing the masked Challenger as his face displayed a smirk. After doing that, his body suddenly vanished and merged with the wind.

Han Jun then reappeared at the Challenger's back, with his sword nearing his enemy's neck. Everyone watching had their breaths suspended, waiting for their prince to end the battle in less than half a minute.

Looking at the battle which hadn't even passed ten seconds yet already reached such high intensity, Matthias smiled proudly at his son and nodded to the Challenger commendably.

Although he sees that his son already has the upper hand, Matthias still watched silently, knowing that a Legendary Challenger who was undefeated against thousands of elite geniuses wouldn't easily be defeated like that.

Also one of the reasons why he knew that fact was because he could see it behind the Challenger's mask that only had his eyes exposed; the Challenger didn't even flinch.

Unsurprisingly, as he had expected, Han Jun's sword passed through the Challenger's body, with the latter's body still standing at their position before the fight, but with his body leaning and his hand slowly unsheathing the sword from its scabbard with tremendous energy that made even the Four Pillars feel a chill in the back of their spines.

Han Jun's eyes showed a hint of fear and his complexion paled as he looked at the emotionless Challenger whose hand had already unsheathed the sword halfway through. Faintly, he heard the Challenger say something that made him even more terrified by the Legendary Challenger's famous prowess.

"You aren't the only one who has the ability of God Sight." The Challenger then raised his lowered head, showing the golden eye that has the mixed aura of godliness, royalty, authority, and cold sharpness.

The light of his eyes then pulsated, and as soon as it did so, a huge, petrifying pressure fell down on Han Jun. The ground where Han Jun was standing also sank ankle deep, which shocked even Matthias, because he was the one who created the arena to endure large and powerful battles, and he estimated that even the deities in Matheon wouldn't be able to dent it.

Seeing how easy it was for The Challenger to put pressure on the Third Prince and damage the platform, Matthias leaned forward, prepared to move at any moment's notice.
