When we entered the room, the room was filled with murky energy—an air of madness surrounded the space. Then the king said, "How are you all doing?"
The first and second brothers replied with serious expressions, saying they were doing fine and were improving their martial arts. They looked at me, who stood there carefree, but they didn't say anything in front of the king.
When he gazed at me, I casually replied, "I am doing fine."He ignored my remarks and declared, "I am going to choose my heir. The one who wins the duel arranged for the perfect heir will be provided with a weapon from the royal treasure."
Suddenly, a system prompt appeared before my eyes:
[Host, you have been given a quest –You must win against your brothers and become victorious.You must maintain your chivalry in public and preserve your strong image.
Reward: 200 Good Karma Points and advancement to the Peak Stage of the Deity Transformation Realm.
Or—
You must defeat your brothers and disgrace them in public, damaging their reputation and making them look pathetic.You will be admired for your strength even after punishing them, but you will gain hidden enemies, which may bring long-term disadvantages.
Reward: 150 Bad Karma Points and the Energy Sucking Art of the Devil.]
I asked, "How much time do we have until the duel begins?"
The king replied, "You have five days until the duel."
I said, "Alright. I'll meet you in the arena in five days."Then, after taking permission from the king, I left the room without wasting a single second.
I had to win the duel no matter what. Before facing my brothers, I needed to improve my cultivation—because both of them were already in the Middle Stage of the Deity Transformation Realm.
Let's see how I will crush them…Let's see how I will shatter the fear left in this body by its previous owner…And let's see how I will make them tremble in fear...
