The next day, when Ling Tian woke up, Coles was already waiting outside.
"Your organization is really well-informed. Your intelligence network is very accurate. You even know where I live.”
Coles didn't know if Lingtian was praising him or if they were staring at him. He rubbed his chin and smiled, but didn't reply. He took out some papers and passed them to Ling Tian, saying,""These are the ten people you will be challenging. Take a look at the information above.”

……..
"Uncle Cocus, you're back. Did you bring me anything fun?”A thirteen-year-old child ran up to Cocus and reached out for food.
Cocus took out a bear toy made of magic crystals from his pocket and placed it in his hand. He then hugged him and placed it on his shoulder." Haha…Little Cocus, do you like it?”
"I like it!"
"Where's your mother? Are you at home?"
"At home. My mother knew that you were coming back today and bought a lot of delicious food. She even specially asked me to pick you up.”Kus said proudly as he played with his new toy.
"Oh, really? Hehe, are you being good at home? Did you cause trouble for Mommy?"
"Little Cuse is the best. Mom even praised me today!”
"Is that so? How obedient!" "Did you study hard in school?”
"Uncle, you still don't know, but I got second place in the last academy tournament.”
"Really? So powerful."
"I'm not powerful. That Ding Ling girl from our academy is the amazing one. She always comes in first place.”Koosnu pouted. He was very unhappy that he did not get first place. "Haha…" The uncle and nephew chatted happily.
Suddenly, a man blocked their way. Cocus looked at the strange man in front of him warily. "Are you Cocus of the Westwood Mercenary Corps?”"Yes, I am. You are?" "I'm here to deliver this letter to you on behalf of someone else. Please read it.”
Cocus opened the envelope. There was only a piece of paper inside. When he opened it, there were only thirteen words: " Challenge the Mercenary Square tomorrow at 6 pm sharp." Cocus frowned, put away the paper, and answered,""I will definitely be punctual."
"In that case, I'll go back and report. Farewell!"
"Uncle, what is it?"
"I'm fine! Someone wants to compete with uncle."
"Really? Then I'll go and take a look too. I'll cheer for Uncle. Uncle will definitely win.”Perhaps in his young heart, only his uncle was the most powerful person in the world.
Cocus didn't answer. He knew that the challenger must be very powerful. Moreover, he had just returned and had already sent a letter of challenge. It was obvious that he had done a detailed investigation and knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand. Such a person wouldn't dare to let his opponent down.
"The latest news, the latest news."
"I say, what news do you have this time? Why are you so excited?”
"There's a competition."
"Oh? Who and who?"
"It's Cocus from the Westwood Mercenaries.”
"It's him? Didn't he just come back today?"
"That's right! He didn't expect someone to challenge him as soon as he returned.”
"Who is the opponent?"
"I don't know! There was no news. Besides, after watching the competition, he would know who it was.”
"Yes, I am. When was that? Where is it?"
"It's said that it'll be six in the afternoon tomorrow, at the plaza of Mercenary City.”
"It's so close. I have to go and take a look.”The tavern immediately became lively as they discussed the competition tomorrow.
The boss looked at those people who were so excited to watch the competition that they kept asking for wine. He was very happy and could not wait to see the competition every day.
"Cocus, I heard that someone is challenging you tomorrow?”
"Guild Leader, everyone, why are you all here?”
"Such a big matter. How could we not come? So, do you know who your opponent is? Are you confident?" The leader of the Westwood Mercenary Corps, Sisax, replied.
"We still don't know who our opponent is? However, my Rainbow Sword will not fear anyone.”Cocus gripped the sword in his hand, as if he had a chance of winning as long as he held it.
"That's good. As long as I have confidence, I believe that the chances of defeating you are very high. Rest assured and prepare for the battle. Tomorrow, all of us in the Westwood Mercenary Group will cheer for you!”
"Thank you, everyone!"
"How are the preparations for tomorrow's challenge? Do you need me to get his detailed information?”Even though Kors knew of Ling Tian's strength, he was still a little worried. After all, Ling Tian was still young and did not have much battle experience.
"No need!" Ling Tian's tone was still as cold as ever, as though he was not the one who would be competing tomorrow.
"Tomorrow is your first battle. You can't lose!”Seeing how unconcerned he was, Kors even doubted whether choosing him was the right choice.
"Winning or losing is inevitable in a martial arts competition, so why should you care so much?”
"Hey!" Coles was speechless, as if he could not communicate with him no matter what. He sighed and left the room.
At six in the afternoon the next day, the plaza of Mercenary City was filled with people. They were discussing animatedly, and it was very lively. In the center of the square stood a man in his forties. He wore a blue warrior suit and held a red longsword. His eyes were closed and he adjusted his breathing from time to time to maintain his best condition.
"Why isn't he here yet?"
"Don't tell me you're afraid!"
"Haha!"
…
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, they suddenly heard someone shout,"It's coming, it's coming."”He saw a skinny young man wearing ordinary farmer's clothes. His hair was messy and he carried a huge sword on his back. The sword was wrapped in a white cloth. The length of the sword was about the same as the young man's height, and the tip of the sword was almost touching the ground.
"No way, it's actually a child!”
"A child? How old are you? You actually came to a martial arts competition."
"I didn't go to the casino and came to watch the competition. It's actually a little kid.”
"I'm even worse off. My wife wanted me to buy groceries, so I took this opportunity to sneak out. I thought it was worth it to be scolded by my wife just to watch the competition. Who knew that I was cheated!”
……
"You were the one who issued the challenge?" Cocus opened his eyes and asked.
"That's right. It's me." A faint voice came out of the youth's mouth. Although it was soft, everyone present could hear it in such a noisy scene.
"Expert!" The warriors and mages present immediately reached a consensus, and the scene immediately quieted down. To be able to let so many people hear him in such a lively scene, and his voice was not loud, only a silver-level warrior or a sorcerer could do it.
"Good! Since you're challenging me, I won't show mercy just because you're a child.”
"That's even better! Do it!" As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
" Receive the first move of my Startling Rainbow Sword Art, Rainbow Piercing the Sun!" Cocus 'sword was glowing with a red light as it slashed out a slash in the air. The tip of the sword slashed towards Ling Tian, causing Ling Tian's body to lean back slightly as the tip of the sword slashed past Ling Tian's body.
"Unleash your Silver Battle Aura!" The voice was still as cold as ever. Although it was spoken by a child, Cocus understood that while the sword strike was simple, it was extremely fast. Ling Tian only reacted when the sword tip was in front of him, and he only leaned back slightly, causing his sword strike to miss. It could be seen that Ling Tian had a good grasp of the timing.
Cocus raised his sword and unleashed his silver combat qi. His aura slowly rose. When the silver combat qi covered his entire body, his aura reached its peak. This was the best time to attack.
"Rainbow Robe Flying"…"Flying ribbons" Cocus's Graceful Sword Technique was indeed as gorgeous as a rainbow. His whole body was graceful and graceful, and his sword momentum was changeable. It seemed like a sword move, but it contained many changes of curves.
When the spectators saw such a beautiful sword technique, not only was it extremely fast, but it also had many variations. They thought to themselves, How could Ling Tian block it at such a young age? Furthermore, he did not even display his Silver rank battle qi. With the difference in strength and age, it seemed like he was destined to lose.
"Vice Guild Leader is really amazing! I think that kid asked our vice regiment commander to come here for a duel purely to humiliate him.”A member of the Westwood Mercenary Group said proudly.
"No, I can't! It's not that simple!" The leader of the Westwood Mercenary Corps, Sicakes, muttered to himself. His expression was not as relaxed as the others. Instead, he was a little worried.
"Guild Leader, could it be that you've noticed something?”
"Look, they have been fighting for almost 15 minutes. During this time, Cocus has been attacking with all his strength. The Seven Strikes of Startling Rainbow is unpredictable and unpredictable to confuse the opponent, and then give him a fatal blow. But until now, although the child is at a disadvantage, he is calm and coordinated. Every time, he dodged Cocus 'attack with a few slight movements.”
"That's right! Look, he dodged it again."
"So powerful! If it were me, I would have surrendered long ago!"
"Who is this child? Where did you come from?" The crowd discussed animatedly.
Suddenly, someone shouted,"I thought of someone. Do you remember the bandit mercenary group being destroyed not long ago?"”
At this moment, everyone had the same thought: "Is this mysterious young man and that mysterious young man the same person?”
