Chapter 58

He may have felt like nothing more than an ant watching these two experts just standing across from each other and not unleashing their full power, yet, something was riled up inside of him. Master Sei had noticed the change in Timothy's personality and had an idea of what was happening. Timothy may have had the Bronze Body physique, but it took watching two experts in order for him to finally grasp his personal type of aura.

According to what he was familiar with, it was safe to claim that Timothy had the Aura of Slaughter. This would appear only in cultivators who the heavens deemed worthy of living their entire existence on the battlefield. However, Master Sei began to worry even more now for his disciple, because such an aura type was fairly close to those who practiced many dark arts and were seen as very similar to demon beasts.

This was very confusing to Master Sei, because Timothy did indeed seem more cunning and capable compared to others in his age group, but for him to have such an aura, must have meant that as he grows into adulthood, it was possible for his personality to continue shifting. This would even cause Master Sei to have nightmares, because such warriors who lived on the battlefield only wanted one thing, to become stronger.

Feeling a strange power washing over him, Timothy could not help but begin to chuckle as he continued watching the two experts. Something felt like it was beginning to awaken in him, and he was not scared in the slightest. All he wanted to do right now, was to find something to kill and devour it.

"Begin!" the judge shouted out after he put on very expensive looking equipment as he held out two treasures that looked to be used to seal power and possibly even used to heal someone else. Even if it was a fight to the death, there had to be a clear winner, and that winner had to survive not only to claim their winnings, but so that the Maroon Auction House would not be blamed for a tie.

The two Master stage experts began unleashing their power as cracks began showing on the floor under them. In but only a second of time, they exchanged over a dozen blows with one another. They were simple hits, but what shocked the spectators was the speed of these two experts. If one blinked, they would have missed all twelve, and if one did not blink, they might have been able to catch up to four of them.

"I suppose that is good enough for a warm-up." the expert with lighting still circulating throughout his body said as his stance changed. In only a breath of time, the lightning he was channeling onto his hand, started to become a shape slowly until finally turning into a dragon head.

"Using such a flashy technique is unlike you, but I guess this is a fight with many spectators present." the other expert replied as he himself lifted his hand as the wind started to become a shape slowly until eventually turning into an eagle. As expected of the two experts, they were able to turn the natural energy around them into shapes. For an expert to do this, they must have reached a particular level of understanding when it came to their elemental affinity.

And once more, the two exchanged blows, but they did so without moving and just allowed their energies to clash with one another. Sparks of lightning and gashes of wind started to bang as each clash continued on becoming stronger and more fierce as time went on. Everyone including Timothy was in awe of these experts and their abilities.

After only five seconds of clashing a countless number of times, the two experts allowed their techniques to come to an end as the two continued to sweat quite a bit. However, neither one of them had even a trace of bleeding even from their mouths. This meant that their blows which could have killed many of those present spectating very easily, did not do any harm to them in the slightest.

"If I knew that you had reached such a level, I would not have saved this new technique of mine until now!" the lightning expert told the wind expert as the lightning around his body started to change color from very pure looking lightning, to a black and overbearing color. As this was occurring, the expert continued to build his energy to his limits.

Feeling a strange pressure from a technique that he himself was not familiar with, the wind expert began to build up his energy as well as wings began to appear on his back and a large ball of wind energy circulated on his right hand. The two experts continued building up their energy which made the spectators feel that this next exchange would be the very last one of this battle and would determine the winner.

Now, still both equal in strength as it seemed from the outside looking in, the two experts began to crouch over as to prepare to launch their attacks. However, before they could begin their final and most powerful attacks, both experts looked over and took a look at Timothy who was now standing alone away from everyone else in the auction house.

The two experts were feeling an odd pressure radiating from him, but they both understood that he was only of the Elementary stage of cultivation. In all of their years and travels, they never even heard of an Elementary stage expert who radiated such a strange energy. Timothy just stood there with a large smile on his face watching the two experts as if he was waiting for an opportunity to battle them himself.
