Cultivation Through Artifacts

Khal stood still in one place once he heard the man's words, but soon shifted his gaze at the cube in his grasp before shaking his head.

"I think that will be impossible to do. This is mine and not yours." with that said Khal didn't hesitate and tossed the half white and half black cube into his spatial ring, immediately avoiding unexpected events that could bring him to lose the cube he just created.

The man's complexion seeing Khal's arrogant behavior instantly fumed with anger and was ready to act, but suddenly several figures appeared before Khal, halting his steps once and for all!

"Old Lyron, don't you think it's rather rude to take away things from your juniors much less from a stranger? Don't you feel a bit shameless?" Logan's calm and clear voice sounded in the air.

The man who was just called Lyron stopped moving and stared at Logan, Jas, and the others before Khal with a deep frown, his thoughts currently unknown.

Only after a while later did he took a step back and ask, but this time his body was leaking a suffocating presence that shocked even someone like Logan!

"Oh? You successfully reached the Ninth Stage? Impressive indeed." Logan complimented Lyron, but his figure didn't show any sign of fear or flinch and held his stance as firmly as an immovable mountain.

.

What's more, he too started to leak his Cultivation Base just to reduce the pressure from the others!

'...'

Everyone watched with awe as two top experts fought each other just only with their presence alone, which as a result formed powerful shockwaves and ripples in the air, sending debris and chunks of huge rocks from the ground into the surroundings!

"Don't force me to fight Logan or you will regret it! I just want that iron and I will be gone right away! We don't need to shed unnecessary blood here and you know this too!"

Logan heard Lyron's words but still remained unmoved and even smiled, "Unfortunately, you have come here unnecessarily. Neither I nor anyone here will give you that iron no matter what. We all know just what that piece of metal is and we are no fools to throw away such an opportunity!"

When Lyron heard this his body trembled from another surge of anger but quickly calmed down before his mouth grew into a terrifying smile.

"I see, so you still keep a grudge against me because I didn't help you. Then how about this? If you promise to help me acquire that cube from that kid I will forge you the weapon you wished me to create in the past and even help you find he-"

"Even if you promise me to sell your soul for me, I would still be unwilling to accept your support." Logan quickly interrupted Lyron with an ice-cold expression, causing silence to descend onto the surroundings once again.

Only after several seconds later did Logan smile again, and continue talking.

"Though, to think one of the Golden Genius who is considered a humble and calm individual by many... You truly have shown your true colors now, huh? Not only did you fail to do what a junior was capable of under a few mere months of practice, but you even attempted to hurt and rob him under my and everyone else's watch!"

"You are truly just as pathetic as ever..."

Lyron trembled from Logan's words as he felt humiliated by the fact that he was compared with a mere kid, thus quickly waved his hand and summoned a weapon into his grasp.

It was a hammer, its's handle alone almost as big as an entire human arm! Its head was twice if not thrice the size of a chuck of brick-like silver metal which surface was engraved with several golden symbols, giving it a mysterious and unique feeling.

"Oh? Do you really think your Sky Cracker truly can help you here?" Logan raised a brow and his body immediately exploded with flames that burnt with frenzy and were darker than the abyss itself!

"You two should stop fighting right at this moment. This is not a battlefield nor a place for your quarrel! If you continue to behave like this the"

"Then what?" Lyron suddenly cut into Jas' words, his gaze firm and his composure unmoved.

"What do you wish to do with your weak Cultivation Base geezer? Try to fight me? Ha! How laughable!"

Everyone was shocked by Lyron calling Jas like that and they subconsciously shifted their gaze at Jas to see his reaction.

However, to their surprise, he looked just as nonchalant as before and even smiled calmly.

"Interesting. You not only came and caused a ruckus by trying to rob one of my students in my territory, but you even offended me. Then let me not be polite any longer..."

After Jas's words fell, another presence similar to Lyron and Logan broke forth, creating another powerful ripple in the air!

"Ninth Stage Cultivator! Principal Jas succeeded in reaching the Ninth Stage!"

All experts behind Jas and everyone else around that watched the sight unfold stared at Jas with slacked jaws. Though, their shock was short-lived as soon they became happy that Moon City had another Ninth Stage Cultivator after such a long time!

'...'

Lyron stared at Jas with a deep frown, but because he was the one causing all of this he knew he could no longer back away from this. However, not like he would if he had the chance, as the piece of iron Khal possessed was something that was a priceless treasure and was thought to be only a legend.

Hence, no matter if he had to kill hundreds, destroy cities and separate the earth, he will do everything in his power to acquire it!

"I see, so that is how it is." Lyron's gaze turned sharp and without thinking about anything else he swung his hammer, causing the surrounding space around its head to twist and turn!

BOOM!

"This is all? I thought the Sky Cracker is stronger than this." Logan said with a sigh of disappointment while his sword was pushed against the hammer, seemingly without any effort!

"Yo-"

BAM!

"Why are you dozing off? It's two against one not one against one." Jas' voice sounded from the side while his fist slammed into Lyron's face a second later, sending his body flying down into the ground that cracked and shaped into a deep pit below his body thanks to the impact!
