The Blade Was Still Sharp

The wedding was almost over when Uncle Wolf suddenly interfered, catching everyone off guard.

I overheard someone whispering, "Hasn't the Old Chieftain stopped interfering in clan affairs for many years? Why is he suddenly getting involved in this matter now?"

"I don't know, maybe he has some issues with Tryndamere."

Ashe had the same question, "What's wrong, Uncle Wolf? Why are you suddenly interfering in my marriage?"

"He's not good enough for you! Although he's decent-looking, a man is after ability!"

"Strength? Didn't you send Gnar? Tryndamere almost defeated him!"

"Me? I didn't. What about Gnar?" Uncle Wolf was unaware of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Ashe knew Bernie was behind it all, so she told Uncle Wolf the details. Wolf was furious, and Bernie, terrified, quickly apologized. "Uncle, please listen to me..."

"Are you going to explain yourself in front of so many people? Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a chance. You challenge Tryndamere, and we'll see what happens."

Although Uncle Wolf gave Bernie a chance, how could he be a match for Tryndamere?

He had just witnessed Tryndamere's terrifying power; this seemingly gentle barbarian Barbarian King was incredibly frightening when he took action!

Of course, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the challenge. Tryndamere's body hadn't fully recovered, but he still won easily.

Uncle Wolf apologized to Tryndamere in front of everyone and said he would keep a close eye on Bernie and prevent him from participating in clan affairs again.

This matter is over, but our entanglement is not over. Uncle Wolf hasn't forgotten my boastful words:

"I don't care what close relationship you have with the barbarians, I haven't forgotten what you just said."

"To be honest, if I hadn't said that, you wouldn't have come, and the two races would have started fighting."

"I don't understand your convoluted reasoning. Words spoken cannot be taken back; you must give me an explanation today!"

Uncle Wolf's words angered me. I helped you, and now I have to give you an explanation! Why don't you admit your own confusion?

No matter how much Ashe and Tryndamere pleaded, Uncle Wolf was as stubborn as a mule and wouldn't listen. I was too lazy to waste my breath on him. A clear conscience fears no accusation!

"There are only two of us here, what do you suggest we do?"

"It's been years since anyone dared to be so arrogant in Avarosa. I won't bully you. Just fight this old man. If you win, I'll treat you like an honored guest. If you lose, it's alright, haha."

"..."

It turned out he just needed to warm up. People were relieved after hearing that. I was puzzled by the old man's confidence. Even if he was strong and healthy, he was still getting old.

People set up a stage to cheer on the Old Chieftain, but I didn't care about their noise. Compared to the shouts in the arena, it was nothing!

Uncle Wolf had a large bone tucked into his waistband, but he didn't remove it when he saw I wasn't using a weapon.

I didn't use my Wind Force. My newly acquired mastery of the Wind Power wasn't yet at a level where I could control it at will. I didn't want it to overflow and hurt him. But after exchanging blows, I realized I had underestimated him!

His Riot Games possessed a powerful force, like Giant Bear. I tried to take two punches head-on, but I was shaken all over!

Good heavens! No wonder he's the former chieftain of Avarosa, still so powerful even in his old age!

But it's okay, I'll just use Uniform Strength to dissipate it. I'm not afraid of opponents who use brute force!

After exchanging a few blows, Uncle Wolf realized something was wrong. His immense strength, once caught by me, seemed to sink without a trace, receiving no response at all!

"Good lad! You've got some skills!" With that, he transformed his fist into a claw and launched another attack!

→

The domineering power remains, but this time it didn't strike me directly; instead, it tore me apart!

I tried my best to dodge, but he still tore my clothes in several places. If I had been wearing less, I probably would have gotten hurt!

What an intense hand-to-hand combat!

I stopped increasing my speed and switched to defense. Every time his claws reached out, I blocked them with my arms. This was a skill that Teacher Yu taught me. I didn't use it much, but now it came in handy!

Seeing that he couldn't grab me, Uncle Wolf changed his target and grabbed my arm as I was about to block, then threw me into the air with a force!

At the same time, he raised his Riot Games and punched me. Even if I could adjust my posture in mid-air, without anything to use as leverage, it would be difficult to defend against his powerful impact!

Sure enough, when I blocked his Riot Games with both hands, an upward force sent me flying even higher.

I had to adjust my posture again to deal with his attacks. After several repetitions, I was already dizzy and lightheaded. I'm not a flying animal. I can manage once or twice, or even three or four times, but who can stand this all the time!

Finally, after he had pushed me into the air for what seemed like the umpteenth time, I decided to hold back no more!

I landed as I had before, and just as his Riot Games was about to hit me, I used the Wind Riding Technique to forcibly stop my body in mid-air.

Although it only took a few seconds, his Riot Games had already been thrown, and the force disappeared into the air. I took the opportunity to press down on his fists, flipped him over, and threw him to the ground!

With a loud crash, the newly repaired ground shattered again. I wasn't worried about him getting hurt; steel and iron are still steel and iron even if they get a little rusty!

He bent over and sat up, stretching his muscles. "Impressive! Aside from that kid Kled, it's been a long time since anyone could push me to this level!"

"It's just opportunism. If you knew me better, I'd probably be the one who lost."

"I don't like overly modest people. Okay, I'll admit defeat today, but I have a favor to ask."

"Please speak."

"Let's compare weapons again!"

Ha, this old guy, he's quite concerned about saving face. He's been upset about losing and wants to get revenge, isn't he?

But I'm even less afraid when it comes to weapons. "I'm ready to fight!"

Uncle Wolf removed the large bone from his waist. I couldn't tell what animal it belonged to, but judging from its thick bones, it must have been a giant beast.

I drew my Gale Sword, and a flash of cold light appeared. After being baptized by the cold wind, it became even sharper!

Uncle Wolf's offensive remained ferocious, but my swordsmanship was also superb. In addition to the Wind Sword Style, I had long since mastered the subtleties of Laurent Swordplay. He couldn't gain any advantage in the weapon contest!

However, as the fight progressed, I realized something was wrong. I wasn't using Wind Force, but frost was slowly gathering on the blade.

Since this isn't my power, then it must be his. Could it be that he also wields the Wind Power? Considering he's from Freljord, it's not surprising.

Frost gradually covered the sword and then spread to my body, slowing me down considerably, much like the "Frozen North" that Tryndamere used against Gnar.

Finally, I had to use the Wind Force. I slowly released it, Wind Force surged up, removing the frost from the sword. I resumed my initial offensive.

Uncle Wolf was increasingly surprised as the fight progressed. He hadn't expected that I, an outsider, would be completely unaffected by the frost; on the contrary, the coldness and sharpness of my sword energy were even greater!

The battle continued for a while, but this time his big bones couldn't be swung anymore. The cold air slowly crept over his weapon, and soon even his arm was affected.

As I parried one of his attacks with Laurent's Mind Blade, Big Bone was sent flying into the air.

"I admit defeat, and I accept it wholeheartedly!"
