God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Hearing the words 'trust me' made Lars feel confused, while Elder Ben couldn't help but take a second look at Jennifer.

She looked quite calm despite the spar she had lost miserably against Lars two years ago.

'Jennifer must have become much stronger since then, I guess?'

Lars' observed her body language, which allowed him to figure out that Jennifer was confident in herself.

However, that was not difficult to perceive, to begin with.

Yet, instead of feeling that this was bad, Lars smiled brightly.

"If I don't have to hold back, that's perfect! Let's fight in…five minutes when everyone is done..hehe."

Understanding that Jennifer was confident of her increased strength, Lars wanted to have a grand fight with her.

As such, he needed some space and wanted to fill his body with Soul force to the brim.

With that in mind, they waited until the other Elite of Liun were done fighting before they entered the large combat ring that spanned over the majority of the room.

Being able to utilize the entire space, both felt more comfortable about winning the fight.

After calmly entering the arena, Jennifer stood on one end, while Lars was excitedly jumping around on the other side.

This clearly showed the inner emotions of both the parties involved.

It even allowed Jason to clearly understand what the spar between both sides would look like.

Nonetheless, when the fight started, Jason still used his Emperor Eyes while activating his Stigma.

He didn't want to waste any energy, while simultaneously testing the potency of his Stigma.

Sensing the drastic enhancement his eyesight and other functions of the Emperor Eyes received, he smiled lightly, while clearly perceiving the first movements on both sides.

Jennifer was still relatively calm and started to circulate her three merged energies through her body. Simultaneously, she exerted her movement technique before opening both pairs of wings.

Following that, she shot into the air before using her merged energy in order to surround herself with a membrane of darkness and light.

This caused one side of her body to be enveloped in a black, faintly fluctuating shroud while her other side was dismantled in a bright shining light.

Only her silver eyes and the crimson circle around them that she unveiled for the first time in ages were visible while the rest of her body was disguised.

A fraction of a second later, Jason perceived enormous energy fluctuations radiating from her as numerous needles of various sizes and strengths separated themselves from her darkness and light mantle.

It almost looked like Jennifer wasn't even actively controlling the needles of darkness and light.

Rather, to Jason, it felt like every single needle had received its own respective task which it was supposed to follow.

'Is that something she comprehended during the last two years?' He wondered, only to realize that it might even be her uniquely merged energy that caused this unique situation.

'She is cultivating with spirit force too…maybe it's her Spiral path that allows her to give the summoned attacks specific tasks?'

Jason's knowledge about the Spiral path was shallow, to put it simply, but that was not necessarily the case for Jennifer.

After all, she had been trained by a powerhouse, who had nurtured Jennifer almost like her own blood!

Thinking about it, Jason wondered if Jennifer thought a lot about Luna.

In the end, they couldn't even make it in time during her execution let alone allow both of them to speak with each other, even if the final result could have been bad.

However, in the end, Jason could only shake his head, recalling that a spar was occurring right in front of him.

'I should really stop thinking too much at the worst possible timing!'

With that thought in mind, Jason analyzed what Lars was currently doing.

His cultivation might not have progressed as much as Jennifer's, but it was crystal clear that he had become much stronger than he was before.

In fact, Jason could tell that Lars' movements were much smoother than before and that he had reduced the number of unnecessary steps.

This was quite interesting to see because he was not even 20 years old.

'Lars can probably be considered a prodigy, right?'

In order to prepare himself, Lars materialized the majority of the wandering soul that he had bound to his body.

This allowed him to tightly envelop the Hellfire Werebear to his body.

Yet, instead of having the exact same wandering soul armor as two years ago, Lars' seemed to have made an upgrade.

His body seemed to be burning in blazing flames as the outlines of the Hellfire Werebear were clearly visible.

The more Jason looked at it in-depth, the clearer he understood the situation.

'He is fusing with the Hellfire Werebear?'

What Jason perceived looked similar, if not the same to his soul fusion.

It was natural, and Jason didn't doubt for a second that the compatibility between the wandering soul and Lars was barely considered averagely.

Astonished about what he saw, he couldn't help but wonder how powerful Lars would become.

The fusion process was not yet smooth, and owing to the fact that Lars had to rush fusing in order to face Jennifer head-on it took him some time.

After all, she didn't remain idle while seeing how he was setting up his most powerful state.

Instead, Jennifer shot out dozens of light and darkness needles at him.

Through this, she wanted to create hurdles and distract him which worked partially.

It was not as effective as she had hoped for, but the final result was still quite decent.

Thus, the moment she manifested her two signature weapons within her hands, Jennifer catapulted herself towards Lars, signaling that she was ready to fight.

Slashing the weapons at Lars who was still more than 100 meters away, she easily manifested crescent sword beams out of darkness and light towards him.

These attacks were much more powerful than the needles Jennifer had shot out beforehand.

As such, Lars was unable to brush them off, just like that.

Instead, he lifted his hand that was slowly transforming into a huge paw, before counterattacking the crescent blade beams.

Flames erupted out of the paw, manifesting an even bigger paw upon the previous one as he slashed out with it.

Crashing on top of the darkness and light sword meant that they were crushed without too much of an issue.

Yet, what Lars didn't consider while attacking with the large fire claw was that the vast majority of his focus had been on how to deflect the ongoing attacks.

Thus, his hand that seemed to have taken on the shape of a paw was fluctuating, revealing the truth behind the fusion as the outlines of the wandering soul began to flicker.

This allowed Jason to realize that the Hellfire Werebear and Lars were not exactly fusing, but that Lars was precisely adjusting the wandering soul's shape in order to make it seem like a fusion.

However, despite not fusing, Lars' strength was still enhanced to an extremely high level.

Nonetheless, his focus had been too distracted and he was not paying attention to the sword beams.

It had advanced towards him at a rapid pace, giving him no time to even think.

But then, his concentration was further disturbed by the remaining darkness and light needles that shot towards him.

As such, he didn't even realize that his entire surrounding was overflowing with the said needles that were rapidly advancing towards him.

They were closely followed by Jennifer, who had disappeared for a second, only to emerge behind him.

Seeing this, Jason could only grin lightly, while Lars barely realized what was happening when cold metal touched his neck.
