Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Alice stepped out of her home, her face beaming with the sweet smile unique to a woman in love.Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

William suddenly said, "Your strength is quite impressive now."

"Ha ha! Really? It's rare for you to praise me; I'm really happy." Alice's smile grew even wider.

William nodded, "If you want to become even stronger, you'll need to keep fighting and continuously improve your strength."

"I know that." Alice has really been trying hard lately.

She completed all the special training and challenges arranged by William without exception, and now flying through the air is effortless for her.

"Next, you'll need to challenge more people," William continued. "Although you seem to be at an advanced Soulmancer level, your strength is almost at the Demi-God level. You could even take on a Quasi-Deity level Soulmancer in battle."

Alice's smile gradually froze.

What does it mean to look like an advanced Soulmancer but can challenge Demi-God level, and even fight Quasi-Deity level?

She's no longer a complete novice who doesn't understand the classifications of Soulmancer levels.

After the advanced Soulmancer level comes the Demi-God, and then the Quasi-Deity level.

The gap in strength between each major level can be described as vast.

And within each major strength level, there are early, middle, and peak stages.

So, by that count, the gap between an advanced Soulmancer level and a Quasi-Deity level is at least as vast as seven floors.

William asking her, at an advanced Soulmancer level, to fight against a Quasi-Deity level, seems like a joke.

Indeed, happy times are always so fleeting.

William then led Alice on a long journey of challenges across various Soulmancer organizations.

For the first battle, William chose an old acquaintance.

The president of the Emerald Lion guild, Garen.

Garen had been severely injured by a descending deity a while back and had only recently recovered some of his strength, having just gotten up from his sickbed a few days ago.

Upon learning of William's visit, he immediately came out to greet them.

"Mr. Johnson, to what do we owe the honor of your visit to our guild?" Garen dismissed the surrounding guild elites to personally attend to William and his company.

William didn't put on airs but smiled and said, "Nothing serious, my wife wants to have a little swordplay contest with you."

Garen was at a loss for words.

A contest in swordplay?

What was there to contest?

He had fought Alice before.

Wasn't the result a one-sided beating?

A contest, after all, implies that the strengths of both parties are not too disparate.

Knowing you're no match but still insisting on getting beaten up is foolish.

Garen could only force a smile and say, "Alice's swordsmanship is superior; I admit defeat. Perhaps we needn't bother with a contest."

William laughed, "Don't you wish to improve in swordsmanship?"

"Her strength isn't as formidable as you imagine; I had intervened on her behalf before."

William decided to clarify the true situation to dispel Garen's fear of Alice.

"Really?" Garen began to hesitate. Given William's status and power, he likely wouldn't deceive him.

Garen was genuinely unable to gauge Alice's level of strength.

Being a true Chosen One, enveloped by the power of the divine aura and having spent a long time by William's side, with Garen's abilities, he couldn't see through Alice's level of strength.

He only felt that Alice seemed strong but also not that strong...

"She could be considered at an advanced Soulmancer level, just barely reaching the advanced Soulmancer level."

William wasn't even sure how to describe Alice's level of strength.

To say she's an advanced Soulmancer,

Yet, she's somewhat different from other advanced Soulmancers.

In her inner world exists a small purple sword, the power contained within is incomparable to that of an ordinary advanced Soulmancer.

Especially since the power of the weapon Alice wields is too contrary to the heavens. After the first seal of the Sword of Soulbreaker was broken, it can be considered invincible across the Soulmancer realm.

It can be said that as long as Alice draws the Sword of Soulbreaker, Garen would immediately fall to his knees.

There's simply no contest.

After the first seal of the Sword of Soulbreaker is broken, ordinary divine swords wouldn't even stand a chance in front of it.

In this scenario, challenging someone to a swordplay contest,

It would be more straightforward to just tell Garen to kneel and admit defeat.

Moreover, Alice, thinking she is weak, usually chooses to hide inside an alchemy furnace when fighting begins.

It's almost like a turtle retreating into its shell, not engaging with anyone at all.

The key point is she can also use Eternal Starfire. With Garen's strength, not to mention resisting Eternal Starfire, just getting slightly touched by it would immediately incapacitate him.

How could there be a contest then?

Garen, however, didn't realize the so-called advanced Soulmancer level strength William mentioned could be so monstrous.

With a mindset to try and redeem his previous defeat, he agreed.

"If Mr. Johnson you say so, then let's have a contest," Garen, having fought many battles, had already broken through the Demi-God level, reaching the Quasi-Deity level.

Quasi-Deity level against an advanced Soulmancer?

If he couldn't win this, he really wouldn't need to talk about improving his strength level anymore.

At this point, he finally came to terms with it.

It seems Alice is indeed at an advanced Soulmancer level, and his previous defeat to her was entirely because William was assisting from the sidelines.

As long as William doesn't intervene this time, he's certain he can defeat Alice!

"Wait!" After Garen agreed, William pulled out two wooden swords and said, "For fairness, you should use the same weapons."

He wanted Alice to improve her strength, not to show off her weapon.

Once the Sword of Soulbreaker is drawn, there'd be no need to fight.

Garen nodded, "Rest assured, Mr. Johnson, I will also suppress my power level to closely match that of an advanced Soulmancer, to ensure fairness."

"Don't suppress your power level!" William was actually worried Garen would do just that.

"If I don't suppress my power, there's a chance I might injure Alice..." Garen felt that, being at the Quasi-Deity level and facing someone at the advanced Soulmancer level, it would indeed be easy to accidentally cause harm.

William laughed, "Don't worry, you won't injure her!"

In William's view, Alice, being a true Chosen One, wouldn't be killed by a Quasi-Deity level Soulmancer. That would be ridiculous.

Ah, it's about pushing Alice to her limits to unlock her potential.

"Alice, you are not allowed to use the Sword of Soulbreaker, you may use the alchemy furnace once in an emergency situation, but you cannot use Eternal Starfire," William said. "This time, it's purely a contest of swordsmanship."

Alice didn't dare say a word.

This is her man?

Utterly ruthless!

Isn't Eternal Starfire a magic spell she painstakingly mastered?

And the seal on the Sword of Soulbreaker was something she had managed to break through with great effort.

Now he's asking her to compete in swordsmanship with a powerhouse like Garen, forbidding the use of Sword of Soulbreaker and Eternal Starfire.

Is he trying to get her killed?

Garen was taken aback by the conversation, unsure what got into him, he said, "Mr. Johnson, it's fine, let Alice use whatever she wants! Why impose restrictions?"

"My strength level is so much higher than hers, you're not restricting me but her, which really seems unfair!"

William's eyes involuntarily narrowed, "Is that so?"
