Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

"Who do you think will win?" Evan asked as he watched the scene in excitement.

"Kustas is a 3rd Layer Nascent Soul martial practitioner. As for Fredrinn, I have no idea how strong he is so I can't say for sure." Yvanna Sapphira muttered after some thought.

Evan rubbed his chin. He also failed to detect Fredrinn's power so he was also not certain about what would be the outcome of this spar. "What do you think, Miss Aubrey? You're more familiar with Fredrinn than the rest of us."

Everyone turned their gazes to Aubrey.

"To be honest, I'm also not sure about Fredrinn's current realm. He is very secretive with regards to his cultivation." Aubrey's response made them a bit disappointed, but this also made them look forward to the result of the spar.

At this moment, Fredrinn and Kustas were still staring intently at each other with no intention of making the first move.

'I don't have any skills related to pole-type weapons. The Seven Scorching Sword Style is meant for swords so its power would be reduced considerably if I used it with the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade.' Fredrinn realized that he had neglected his training all this time. He was so occupied with the household's promotion that he had forgotten to learn more skills.

'Well, it's not like I can use a technique in this spar.'

While he was distracted by these thoughts, Kustas suddenly made his move. He tapped his foot and propelled himself toward Fredrinn while lifting his war hammer with both hands. "Let me see what you've got, Fredrinn!" He shouted.

They agreed not to use any lethal moves so Kustas didn't activate a battle technique. However, with the weight of his weapon and the inmate power of a Nascent Soul martial practitioner, his normal attack was still bound to be devastating.

Fredrinn's spear talent was at four stars, but with the unique effect of the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade, his talent was increased to six stars! This made him more proficient in wielding the guandao. Coupled with the battle experiences he received as rewards, Fredrinn could be considered a master of pole-type weapons.

Fredrinn didn't plan to retreat after seeing Kustas' attack. He had confidence in his armor's abilities. After all, it has the effect of neutralizing the attacks of Nascent Soul martial practitioners!

Fredrinn displayed his impressive skill in wielding the guandao. The weapon danced in his hands, leaving trails of blade light in the air. He also displayed remarkable footwork that made him look like he was dancing in the sea of clouds.

Soon, the two weapons clashed, causing a massive explosion that sent shockwaves through the surroundings.

Fredrinn's feet sunk deeply into the ground which soon formed a small crater because of the impact of their clash.

"Huh?" Kustas was stunned. Although he didn't use his full power in that attack, it should be sufficient to deal with someone at the 2nd Layer of the Nascent Soul realm!

This could only mean one thing. Fredrinn's power was beyond that!

It wasn't just him who realized this, the heirs and the elders who were watching the spar also had similar thoughts.

Kustas pushed himself away and landed a safe distance from Fredrinn. He then furrowed his eyebrows. "Fredrinn, stop hiding your power and show me what you're capable of!" He shouted.

Fredrinn smiled helplessly. He was just a fake Nascent Soul martial practitioner so what was there to show? However, he couldn't reveal any weakness in front of everyone so he initiated an attack.

His movement appeared slow in everyone's eyes, but the moment he wielded his guandao, an overpowering sensation seemed to have descended upon them.

This was another unique effect of the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade. People that Fredrinn deemed as enemies would have their powers reduced to a certain degree. He only wanted to use it on Kustas, but to instill a powerful image on those present, he decided to adjust the range of the weapon's 'Terrify' debuff.

Flame Dragon Crescent Blade [Legendary]

- Increases the user's talent in pole-type weapons by 2 stars.

- Enemies within 500-meter radius will be afflicted with 'Terrify' debuff.

As the main target of the debuff, Kustas felt like he was being crushed by a mountain. He didn't sense Fredrinn activating any skills so he thought that it was merely the pressure brought upon by Fredrinn's intimidating aura. Thinking about this, he was enraged. How could a member of the mighty Goldenlion Supreme Household feel afraid over another's aura?!

He raised his head and bellowed as if to release his pent-up anger. However, he found out that the pressure was still there.

'Am I actually afraid of him?' Kustas couldn't believe it and he was starting to doubt his self-confidence.

"I don't believe it!" He glared at Fredrinn and swung his war hammer with all his might. Since the other party seemed to be powerful, he no longer held back his strength.

His muscles contracted and the veins on his arms popped out like wriggling serpents.

As if unafraid of Kustas' outburst of power, Fredrinn continued to swing his guandao. He didn't display any fancy movement, just a plain horizontal slash. However, this seemingly ordinary strike stopped the unstoppable war hammer in midair!

A violent sound echoed as the two weapons once again clashed. Sparks flew out in all directions.

Kustas' face contorted as he used all his might to crush Fredrinn. However, the latter remained still with no signs of weakness.

"Holy shit! He actually stopped Kustas' war hammer with a simple swing of his guandao! He didn't even look tired!" An elder exclaimed in shock.

The others also revealed their astonishment.

At this moment, Fredrinn deactivated the debuff effect of the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade. He then put it away as he indifferently said. "Let's stop here for now."

Hearing this, Kustas reluctantly put away his war hammer. "Fine."

"How could you guys stop when it's just getting interesting?" An amused voice drifted into their ears.

'Hm?!' Fredrinn sensed a strong aura coming towards him.
