This...this....

What a troublesome young man! He has absolutely no sense of propriety. Couldn't he have given me a break before coming to find me? Can't he learn from Nexus over there? He's so perceptive!

Wait, what about Nexus over there?

Suddenly, Belial realized something, abruptly turning his head to look. He saw Nexus peeking out, his gaze meeting that of the stranger, and then...

What a disgusting gaze...

Belial felt a sudden chill. That look in his eyes seemed to be encouraging him: don't be so withdrawn, learn to be more honest. Even though you're strong, you're great, don't isolate yourself like this...

It's unbelievable! How could I read so much from just one look?

So disgusting!

That's disgusting!

If it were anyone else, I would have slapped them across the face.

No, why does it have to be someone else to play? This is weird. I'm just...

"Excuse me, Mr. Beria and I had an appointment beforehand."

Just as Belial, feeling inexplicably irritated, was about to push away all the young warriors around him, Minamoto no Subaru stepped forward and, with a smile in his voice, drew the attention of the others.

"On the way to the Land of Light, Mr. Belial made an appointment with me to give me some pointers, so everyone, we should respect the order of arrival."

As Subaru spoke, he walked to Belial's side and casually placed his hand on the veteran warrior's shoulder. Belial was about to react with displeasure and try to shake off Subaru's hand, but the energy surging from Subaru was rapidly restoring him to his strength, and the energy emanating from him...

Something seems a bit eerie...

Compared to Belial's silence, the young warriors opposite him were extremely, even utterly astonished. After all, this was Lord Belial! The Lord Belial who could make even kindergarten children afraid to cry after a walk around the room! The Lord Belial whose presence in the conference room commanded respect from everyone except the captain! And now, this very Lord Belial was being so intimately embraced by a complete stranger...

This is truly beyond our imagination. It turns out that our impression of Belial has always been wrong. Belial is just... just... how to put it again, oh right, just not very frank, just seems a bit aloof. We were wrong, we've been misunderstanding Belial all along.

What's wrong with these people? They seem to be about to cry to me. It's really disgusting!

Belial, who had never been treated like this before, couldn't hold back and abruptly pulled his hand away from Subaru's, angrily saying:

"Didn't you want some guidance?! Hurry up and come with me!"

After saying that, Belial said nothing more and led the way into the training field.

324 Beria: I feel like I've been tricked.

"Everyone, I have something to tell you..."

Watching Belial lead the way into the training ground, Subaru smiled slightly, looked at the Ultra Warriors beside him, raised a finger, and said softly:

"This is a classic example of tsundere."

"You bastard...get inside!"

No sooner had Gen Subaru finished speaking than Belial rushed over like lightning, grabbed Gen Subaru by the shoulder, and threw him directly into the training field. Then, his fierce eyes fell on the young Ultra Warriors. The youngsters immediately realized what was happening and shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they had not heard anything.

Belial snorted at their tact, beckoned to them, and walked into the training ground. Now that he had Genji's energy replenishment, teaching these arrogant little brats a lesson was no difficult task at all.

But before that...

Seeing Nexus surveying the training grounds, Belial patted Subaru on the shoulder and said with a forced smile:

"Come on, let's have a match."

Belial didn't use the word 'guidance' as before, but rather 'sparring'. It wasn't that he used the wrong word, but rather that he genuinely sensed that this mysterious Ultra Warrior possessed power that might be beyond his imagination. If he didn't concentrate on dealing with him, he might suffer a great loss.

"Let me make it clear first, I'm quite a fighter, Mr. Belial, so watch out."

Gen Subaru smiled slightly, jumped onto the adjacent battle platform, and waited for Belial to take his place. Belial glanced at the young man who had followed behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Watch closely, they're incredibly skilled."

After speaking, Belial jumped onto the battle platform and faced Subaru Genji, assuming a fighting stance.

At that very moment, all the Ultra Warriors training on the other battle platforms in this training ground stopped what they were doing and looked at Belial in astonishment or fear. The reason was simple: as Belial entered battle mode, a terrifying aura spread out.

Belial, however, sensed it even more deeply. Beneath that soaring fighting spirit lay an undeniable killing intent. It wasn't that this guy wanted to kill him, it was just...

He was used to life-or-death battles and must have been in dire straits many times. This constant exposure to danger made him unconsciously carry a murderous aura in battle.

What a formidable opponent!

Belial was also excited. Ever since he was defeated by Alien Empera, he had been improving himself, hoping to defeat that alien. Although the more he trained, the more he felt that the gap between himself and Alien Empera was not so easy to bridge, Belial was holding his breath, and the anger in his heart was almost driving him crazy.

And now, with such a formidable opponent, what can I say... what?!

Belial stared in astonishment at the five clones that emerged from behind Nexus. These clones were quite interesting; their strength was almost equal to that of the original. If they were mixed up, Belial felt that he wouldn't be able to tell which one was the real Belial.

Then, Belial sensed it—he sensed the intense energy fluctuations emanating from these clones. If he remembered correctly, these clones were about to explode, just like the silver meteor from before.

No way, all you can do is explode, is that it?!

Belial's face darkened. After the battle area was restricted, this kind of self-destruction that was almost face-to-face was too uncomfortable. But since you've gone this far, then I won't stop!

Belial naturally had a way to deal with this situation. No matter what kind of clones or self-destruction they were, he just needed to take them down first, or simply close the battle area further. He didn't believe that they could blow themselves up together!

However, Belial was clearly mistaken. Subaru's energy amplification technique was not only for self-destruction. Although this method was harmful to the body, it was only a clone that used it. Subaru only had to endure the pain shared by the clone.

Therefore, given the intelligence gap, Subaru's clones quickly gained the upper hand in the battle. Subaru himself did not make a move, but simply watched quietly as Belial, despite his increasingly rapid offensive, managed to maintain his lead and tried to find an opportunity to counterattack.

I never imagined... I'd become such a good fighter.

Yuan Mao sighed to himself. He had been fighting and fighting, one after another, and the role of physical combat in his battles was becoming less and less important. He was relying more on skill bombardment, so he always felt that he was regressing in his fighting skills.

But now it seems I was overthinking it. Many things, even if you don't pay attention to them, will naturally improve once you reach a certain level.

Originally, Subaru had intended to use Belial from this parallel world to hone his skills, but now it seems unnecessary.

Since that's the case, let's end it here.

Subaru's eyes narrowed, and Belial immediately sensed that something was wrong. The sense of crisis he had developed over the years made him realize that something big was about to happen.

Just then, Subaru Minamoto suddenly rushed into the battle, seemingly launching a surprise attack on Belial. With a deafening roar, everyone saw Subaru Minamoto and Belial both fall out of the battle arena.

To be honest, the Ultra Warriors in the training ground didn't even see what just happened. It was too fast, so fast that they couldn't keep up with their movements. Plus, it was a six-person melee, which made it even more dizzying to watch. The Ultra Warriors who were training even thought that if they could keep up, they might not need to train here.

"damn it!"

But Belial knew perfectly well that in that split second, it was this kid who had deliberately detonated those clones, forcibly pushing the two of them out of the battle arena. Nexus had been holding back in this fight; he had many tricks up his sleeve. Did this guy think I was a sore loser...?

Ok? !

In his anger, Belial also noticed something, and a question mark appeared above his head. Nexus, who was lying on the ground and seemed to be unconscious, had an energy fist mark on his chest. Judging from the energy reaction emanating from the fist mark, it seemed to be left by Belial.

Wait a minute, when I was hit in the face by the self-destruction, I did throw a punch randomly. No way, what a coincidence, I don't believe it.

But no matter how much people disbelieve it, the fist imprint was real, and Nexus lying on the ground was real. In other people's eyes, Belial had won the battle.

"As expected of Mr. Belial, you were able to see through my attack route even with the interference of the self-destruction energy. You are indeed an outstanding warrior of the Land of Light. I underestimated you. My defeat is well-deserved."

At this moment, Gen Subaru pulled himself up from the ground, then clutched his chest as he got up and said softly:

“I’ve learned my lesson. I will never underestimate any opponent again. Mr. Belial, I’ll take my leave now. To be fair, that punch of yours was quite powerful.”

"Well played!"

"What a fantastic battle!"

"You are all outstanding soldiers!"

As Gen Subaru finished speaking, the young warriors around him couldn't help but applaud and cheer. Regardless of how Nexus lost, the kind of battle they just fought was something that only warriors of the caliber of Captain or Belial could pull off, a level that they could probably never reach in their lifetime.

To be honest, these young Ultra Warriors had not experienced an era like the Great Ultra War, so they knew that warriors like Belial and Ken were powerful, but that was all they knew. Now, after experiencing a clear sensory shock, they realized just how amazing this was.

Now that Nexus is injured, it seems inappropriate to go and ask him for advice, since he is a guest. In comparison, our own senior Belial seems to be a better person to ask for advice!

325 Belial, shall we go to the Plasma Spark Tower?

Belial never imagined he would be so popular in the training ground. He was so enthusiastic that he found it hard to refuse to answer the questions that seemed rather childish to him. This also caused his attention to shift away from the outcome of the previous match. By the time he realized that something seemed amiss, Subaru had already disappeared from the training ground.

At this moment, Gen Subaru was sitting on a bench by the main street of the Land of Light. Although two young Ultra Warriors had offered to escort him to the Silver Cross Army because of the situation just now, Gen Subaru casually made up a plausible excuse and managed to fool the two of them, thus coming here alone.

Gen Subaru felt the energy emanating from the plasma spark tower, quietly adjusting his physical condition. Every now and then, he would open his hands and watch the faint threads in his palms change according to his design.

However, these threads are not the embodiment of eternal power and cannot perform dreamlike transformations. As a result, Subaru's wildly imaginative ideas all ended in failure halfway through the simulation.

But that's alright. Subaru has experienced countless failures like this before. As long as he can learn from the mistakes, it's a successful attempt.

Genjiro continued to repeat the process of failing the test in silence. Although some people from the Land of Light who passed by noticed his presence, no one came to disturb him. After all, judging from Genjiro's appearance, he seemed to be thinking about some important issue, and it would be inappropriate to disturb him.

"Nexus, you bastard..."

However, someone always breaks the rules. It was a familiar voice; Belial, who had finally finished his training session, appeared before Subaru, arms crossed, and said in an unfriendly tone:

"You did this on purpose, didn't you!"

"Well, I've done too many things on purpose. If you put it that way, Mr. Belial, I don't know which one you're referring to."

Gen Subaru shifted his position, making room for Belial, put away the threads in his palm, patted the empty space next to him, and said softly:

"Come, sit down. I imagine you must be tired. So sit down, rest, and let's talk."
