Chapter 147: Stakes of the duel

Blank.

With just one part of one sentence, this bastard managed to undermine all the calmness that I was trying to build up. My dead father? Did he actually dare to harm the only person from my family that really cared for me?

As that news attacked my mind, I momentarily lost the control of my aura, letting it leak a bit for a moment, before forcefully retaining it. Considering how he was only at mortal enlightenment level, there is no way that he would notice it, but from the look of surprise that the guards gave me, I'm certain that at least they noticed it. 

There is a distinctive element to one's aura, that doesn't show one's cultivation, but is based on density and clarity of one's energy. By climbing the ladder of cultivation levels and realms, one's mana turn denser and denser, with its clarity being the main limiting factor in one's growth.

As someone who raised his lacking cultivation with a technique that aligned with the nature of the world, I can say with all certainty that the purity of my energy is at another level when compared to all the cultivators around, but I was never worried about it, because to recognise how pure someone energy is, one needs to have cultivated a superior techniques! 

It works in a simple way. If you never saw or heard about a dollar, you wouldn't be able to compare it's worth to a euro. If you never drink really clean water, you wouldn't be able to discern it from a dirty, industrial one!

It was all about the density. While I already gauged that spirit attainment level cultivators that I met so far varied in the density of their energy, the best one I saw had his energy only half as dense as me! Only when I fought an enriching sense cultivator who was actually focusing on his martial arts more than on the cultivation itself, did I sense a familiar density of our mana!

But nothing can be done about it. I leaked it just like a small kid pissing his pants when infuriated by the parent's refusing him some sweets that it wanted to eat. As I like to say, there is no point in crying over spilt milk. What's done, cannot be undone. I can only grit my teeth and march forward on the road called life!

"It won't be necessary, dear."

Placing my hand on Eve's shoulder, I pulled her back to the queue, confronting my dear cousin by myself. As he noticed the wrath in my eyes, I could see that his confidence wavered for a bit, but with his haughty attitude, he regained it right back and stared back at me.

"Did you really kill my father?"

Asking just this simple question, I made sure to keep my aura within my body, as to not alert either the guards or his senior. Looking at her before, I already noticed that she was already at the enriching essence level, just like the experts that I killed back in the forest. This means that with my new weapons and upgraded system, defeating her won't prove to be any problem at all!

"Did I? I never said anything like this! But yes, your father is dead."

Saying those words with a wide smile on his face, it was obvious that he was behind the death of my father. If he dared to raise his hand against his uncle, I lost all my doubts about whether he was responsible for killing his own father as well!

"I don't like bullying the weak, so I really hope that you will assign your senior to this fight. I will take you on myself. As for the stakes, I want your life."

Acting calmly, I simply sent him a deadly stare, before turning back to Eve and standing beside her in the queue. With his life already in my hands, there was no reason for me to bother with him anymore.

"Sir, I'm worried that the stake that you placed is against the rules. The duels are a tool to solve the grudges and disputes, not a way to murder someone. If you want to raise the stakes to their highest, I would propose a period of clashing sessions with someone important to him. While I can't officially suggest it, I would like to inform Sir that this is the most popular way of humiliating others in the city."

It's all nice, but what even this clashing means? Do I get to have some sadomaso play with the other party significant other? Are they sick in their head? Who even came up with something like this?

"Forgive me sir, but what do you mean by clashing? I hail from rather a small sect, so I'm unfamiliar with local jargon."

With the last hope that humanity isn't as rotten as I'm worried it is in this world, I try to clarify the situation.

"Ah, that's my bad here. While at first, it was just a way for the winner to obtain more energy for his cultivation, it turned into something else already. To simply think, a man and a woman will crash their yin and yang energy to create some free mana in the surroundings that the winner will absorb. Since I spoke about humiliating the loser, I don't think I need to explain how the clashing process looks like"

So that's the case! Well, it works for me even more then! Not only will I get to humiliate this bastard and force him to do something stupid in this way, but I will also even be able to get some more attribute points! No one said that I need to follow their own procedures of clashing the energies if I can just have fun with someone important to him while simply absorbing the yin energy for the system sake!

"That works for me then. I will have your senior as the stake then, but I want you to serve refreshments for us while we will diligently cultivate! Does that work?"

Turning my head to look at the guards, I saw a dry smile plastered on their faces. Did I overstep my bounds?

"That means that if I win I will get to clash energy with your 'dear'? Of course I'm down to it!"

What a stupid piece of shit. I will make sure to make him regret this later on!
