No job: Check the cards, Loki, are there any problems with the cards?

"If you want to enroll in a dojo, you should be at least seven years old. Besides, compared to the distant Holy Land of Swords, I can actually write a letter recommending you to the Water God Style Dojo."

He held up three fingers: "There are three specific reasons."

"First, the Water God Stream Dojo is closer, as its headquarters is in Asura's capital, Yars City, making it easier to contact them when I return home in the future."

"Secondly, I have connections at the Water God Stream Dojo, which makes it more reliable and easier to get things done."

"Third, I think that whether it is the Sword God Style or the Northern God Style, only the Water God Style is more suitable for you. Your talent and sword style are more compatible with the Water God Style."

Even after saying all that, Paul still left the final decision to Roger: "So, what do you think?"

Rogge hesitated for only a moment before shaking his head: "I'm sorry, I still want to study the Sword God Style at the Holy Land of Swords."

“It’s alright, I respect your decision.” Paul nodded.

"So... does this mean they agree to let me go to the Sword Sanctuary with Teacher Luo Qixi?"

"Do not."

Paul refused seriously, saying, "It's not the right time yet. You need to be a little older."

"What if I absolutely have to go?"

Roger suddenly stood up.

Although he was only five years old and not very tall, he exuded an aura that even Paul could not ignore.

Just a moment ago, Paul almost agreed.

But in the end, he shook his head and said to Roger, "If you want to go now, you'll have to show me the strength to defeat me!"

“In that case… I’m ready to take down Daddy.” Roger walked toward Paul.

"So when do you plan to challenge me?"

"Now!"

Paul laughed: "You have quite the courage. You don't actually think you can beat me, do you? I'm a master of the Sword God Style, Water God Style, and Northern God Style. My overall strength has long reached the Saint level. I admit I lost to you once before, but that was just because I was careless and didn't dodge."

"You lost."

"I was just careless and didn't dodge."

"You lost."

"I……"

Paul was left speechless by the rebuttal.

He found himself unable to out-argue his second son, Rudius and Rogge, both of whom were quite eloquent.

It left him, as the father, utterly helpless.

He took a deep breath and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Talking is useless; let's prove it with real strength!"

Then.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Roger and Paul arrived in the courtyard.

The two stood about ten meters apart, each in a fighting stance, facing each other from afar. Leaves rustled down in the courtyard, creating a solemn and heavy atmosphere.

"Have you thought this through...? I won't hold back this time."

"Paul, when did you become so long-winded? Old Deng is so nagging."

………………

After the trash talk segment ended.

"start!"

As soon as Rudius, acting as referee, announced the start, the atmosphere on the field instantly became tense.

However, neither of them made the first move. Instead, they stood there pacing back and forth, looking for each other's weaknesses.

Rogge's lips curled up in a sneer. "So... Father's become a coward too. He's the best at the Sword God Style, but I scared him so much he didn't dare to make a move."

"What did you say?"

Paul's face darkened; being mocked by his own son felt like being brutally attacked right in the face.

He was the first to lose his composure and immediately unleashed his ultimate move using the Sword God Style.

It was his proudest skill, the Silent Katana.

Swish!

It vanished in a flash.

What a great speed!

Roger's lips curled up, and although his breathing became rapid, he remained calm inside.

Almost instinctively, Rogge, whose eyes were always slightly narrowed, had already begun to make defensive counter-attack moves.

The techniques of the Water God Style.

Unlike the Sword God style, which pursues the ultimate instant burst of power, the Water God style seeks stability, emphasizing counter-attacking and using defense as offense.

This is why Rogge provoked Paul to strike first.

Even if Rogge has extraordinary talent, he is only five years old this year. In terms of explosiveness, he can never compete with an adult like Paul.

In terms of winning against stronger opponents, Rogge opted for the safer approach of the Water God style.

Just now...

As Paul launched his silent katana attack, Roger spun sideways and unleashed the basic ultimate technique, "Flow," in slow motion.

With a loud crash!

What shocked everyone present happened—Rogge's move precisely neutralized Paul's attack and even perfectly executed a counter-attack.

Paul dropped the wooden sword from his hand.

"what?"

Paul was shocked.

If he hadn't used the Kitakami-ryu technique at the crucial moment to salvage the situation, he would have been defeated by now.

In just one round, Paul not only failed to gain the upper hand, but almost lost.

This scene left the onlookers speechless.

"We almost lost again."

This made Paul lose face a bit. He really didn't expect that Roger not only learned the Sword God Style without a teacher, but also reached such an unbelievable level in the Water God Style.

At least……

At least he's at the same level as a high-level swordsman.

When exactly did this change begin in this son?

Just as Paul hesitated, Rogge finally moved.

When Paul saw Rogge's initial movement, his pupils constricted sharply: "What?! What is this?!"

Chapter 15 Paul's defeat shocked everyone.

He saw an incredibly familiar movement in Roger—the very same starting stance he had just used.

The exact same moves.

The ultimate technique of the Sword God style: the Silent Katana.

It looked like a clumsy first imitation, yet it seemed as if it had been practiced countless times, with smooth and perfect movements.

Swish!

Paul subconsciously replicated Rogge's earlier move—using the Water God Style's ultimate technique, 'Flow,' to launch a beautiful counterattack.

However €€€€

They're not even in the same league.

Both were silent katanas, but Rogge wielded them faster, more accurately, and more powerfully than Paul.

Both speed and power have reached a state of perfection, without any flaws.

Lost in millimeters, a thousand miles.

In just a moment, Paul was sent flying by the Silent Blade, crashing heavily to the ground.

Because Rogge's timing was just right this time, Paul didn't fall asleep immediately.

Just as Paul was about to pick up the sword from the ground and struggle again, Roger quickly closed in and struck him with a sharp crack.

Knock the sword out of the opponent's hand.

Then he aimed another sword at Paul's throat.

Now, the outcome is already decided.
