Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 16 Night City: I Want to Challenge a "High-Level Adventurer"

Night City emphasized the words "all property," and Rex and the other two, noticing this, became extremely embarrassed.

As experienced adventurers, even in their most destitute state, Rex and his companions couldn't possibly possess only that bag of copper coins. Their previous claims were simply an excuse to take advantage of Night City's ignorance of the ways of the world.

They never expected the world to be so small. They thought they would never see each other again, but they ran into each other again in the afternoon after parting ways in the morning. And the other person turned out to be the younger brother of the goddess they were pursuing.

"Rex, I didn't realize you had this helpful side. But I don't want to owe you too much. How much money did you give Night City? I'll help him exchange it for you."

Hearing the goddess's question, Rex became even more embarrassed. He had originally wanted to improve her favorability, but if the truth was exposed, wouldn't the goddess be completely out of reach of him in the future?

"Ha...ha, it's nothing. I've always enjoyed helping people. By the way, Miss Soya, is your younger brother really a novice adventurer?"

In order not to disappoint his goddess, Rex had no choice but to say it so shamelessly. Fortunately, Night City just smiled amusedly but did not expose him.

"He did register as an adventurer today, but he said he has a certain level of strength and wants to take on missions of E rank or higher, so I'm not entirely reassured."

That's why I was thinking of having you take him to gain some experience.

In Soya's opinion, although Rex and his group were not the strongest group of adventurers in the town, they were still considered to be of average level, and they should be more than capable of taking care of Night City, this "newbie".

But when they heard Sonja's request, Rex and his two teammates immediately looked constipated. Rex's two teammates even made up an excuse and ran away without thinking.

"Rex, I'm suddenly feeling a bit unwell today, so... I'll be going now."

"Me too. I suddenly remembered that my girlfriend asked me to go shopping today. I promised her a long time ago, so... I'm sorry."

Hearing his two companions' excuses for running away, Rex was inwardly cursing. Before coming here, the guy who said he was in poor health had been showing off his muscles the whole way.

And then there's this other guy who's even more infuriating. They've been teaming up for so long, how come Rex didn't know the other guy had a girlfriend? They even went shopping together, like he was with his own left and right hands?

"Miss Soya, as you can see, both of my companions have encountered some unexpected situations. It seems we can't go out and complete the entrustment today. How about we take your brother to experience the adventurer's life another day when we have more time?"

Rex understood perfectly why his two companions had fled in a panic, because if it weren't for the goddess in front of him, he would have run away too.

To Rex and his companions, the "new adventurer" brother that Soya mentioned was nothing more than a super boss disguised as a newbie!

Let the three of them show the other side the life of an adventurer? The other side is a big shot who can easily kill the three of them with his bare hands.

Moreover, they had previously dumped each other, and now they're going on an adventure in the wild together. The chances of them ending up dead in the wilderness are extremely high.

"Sister Soya, I'm really strong. If you don't believe me, how about I spar with this Mr. Rex?"

"If I can defeat him, you can assign me a more difficult task. If I lose, then I'll follow Sister Soya's instructions and accept tasks according to the corresponding adventure level, okay?"

Night City and Soya weren't siblings, but since Soya had introduced herself to Rex and the others that way, he couldn't refuse her. "Excuse me, I just remembered I have something important to do today, so I'll be going now!"

Before Soya could even agree to Night City's proposal, Rex, upon hearing Night City's words, decided to slip away without a second thought.

Are you kidding me? Sparring with Ye Cheng? That's just asking for trouble. The three of them together couldn't even last a minute against Ye Cheng when he was unarmed. Now you're asking me to fight him one-on-one? That's like being a five-second wonder!

Running away in front of your goddess may be embarrassing, but it's still better than being instantly defeated during a sparring match, which would be even more shameful.

"Alright, as long as you can defeat Rex, I'll make an exception and assign you a high-level adventurer quest."

Rex had barely taken a step when Night City grabbed his shoulder and gave him a wide grin, saying, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Rex, the helpful one."

The world is never short of people who enjoy watching a spectacle, especially in places like the Adventurers' Guild, where adventurers who are bored to death often gather.

Seeing that there was something to watch, many adventurers naturally brought their mead to join in the fun, and some even set up betting pools.

At this moment, Rex also looked constipated. The spot where he and Night City were located had long been surrounded by adventurers who wanted to watch the show. He was now in a dilemma. If he tried to run away again, he would become the laughing stock of the entire adventurer community.

Indeed, lust is a double-edged sword. If he hadn't been lusting after Soya's beauty, he wouldn't be in this situation today.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Rex drew his sword and looked at Night City with a serious expression.

"No way, no way, judging from Rex's expression, he seems quite serious."

"The opponent is just a newbie who registered as an adventurer today. Is it really necessary to put on such a show?"

"Looks like my bet is going to fall through. I was hoping to pull off an upset, since Rex has been interested in Miss Soya for a long time."

I initially thought he would go easy on this newcomer out of consideration for Miss Sonja, but it seems Rex is a real man.

Night City just registered as an adventurer today, a fact witnessed by many other adventurers who had recently joined the Adventurers' Guild.

While Rex's skills were average, defeating an inexperienced newcomer was a piece of cake for him, so none of the adventurers present believed that Night City could win.

However, compared to the adventurers who were just watching the spectacle, only Rex, who was the one who went into battle, knew that the white-haired man in front of him was not a newbie at all!
