Claiming Fifth Place Among the Seven Great Powers and the Title of "Death God"

This sparring match lasted a full half hour.

Luo Ge ultimately won.

Relying on their superior total magical power, they outlasted Randolph and won.

To put it nicely, it's a tactical victory; to put it bluntly, it's just stalling.

The moment the wooden sword was placed against Randolph's neck, Randolph simply threw the sword to the ground, raised his hands, and showed no intention of resisting.

"Mr. Randolph... that's enough."

Randolph himself admitted defeat faster than anyone else.

Luo Ge sheathed his wooden sword, panting heavily; it had almost burned out.

In contrast, Randolph didn't even have a red mark on the other person's face, and he didn't even break a sweat.

To be honest, if we really fought, I might not be able to beat him under normal circumstances without having Transparent World.

Winning by sheer power and exhaustion is neither honorable nor elegant.

But they did win.

Luo Ge, to some extent, didn't want to lose face in front of his teacher, his two younger sisters, and so many other people.

Randolph, on the other hand, gives off a more Zen-like vibe, completely lacking the competitive spirit typical of men, and seemingly indifferent to winning or losing.

Compared to this battle... cooking a dish seems to interest him more.

"Wow... Senior is really amazing! I knew that with my mediocre skills, I couldn't possibly beat you."

Randolph, speaking in a relaxed and casual tone, waved to Luo Ge and continued.

"After all, I haven't touched a sword for many years, and my skill level has fallen so far behind without me even realizing it. Sigh... I guess I'm only at less than 70% of my peak level now."

"..."

Luo Ge remained expressionless.

Damn it! Not only did his lips twitch, but he was also internally cursing this guy.

Huh?

No?

Are you fucking serious?

Luo Ge watched Randolph speak with a blank expression. Why did he feel like every word the guy said was subtly pretentious?

To be honest, this was the first time Luo Ge had encountered someone who was even more pretentious than himself.

Even when he was at his peak, he couldn't hold his own against himself. In the beginning, he almost lost because of his carelessness.

However, judging from the exchange, Luo Ge could indeed sense a long-lost sense of unfamiliarity in his opponent's swordsmanship.

In other words, Randolph was serious and wasn't just being polite.

Just as Luo Ge was wondering how to respond, Randolph walked up to him and took off a ring from his hand.

White.

The ring, seemingly carved from bone, has a chilling appearance.

The material resembles the bone of some kind of monster, eerie and light to the touch. It has no gemstones or intricate carvings; it's just a plain white bone ring.

Luo Ge was puzzled, but before he could say anything...

Randolph spoke first.

"This bone ring is a keepsake that someone gave me many years ago."

"Since you defeated me, this ring will be a favor, a small gift to you as a token of our friendship. And... congratulations, senior, you have successfully inherited the title from here."

"Title?"

"What? Is that a chef's title?"

Luo Ge looked puzzled.

Randolph didn't answer directly, but simply shoved the bone ring into Luo Ge's hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's really not a very impressive title, anyway... you'll find out later."

"To be honest... I've been troubled by this for a long time, and I've wanted to get rid of this title for a long time. Sigh, now I've finally found someone to help me get rid of it."

"Excuse me..."

Luo Ge wanted to ask what the title was, but before he could even open his mouth, a small figure pounced on him.

She clung to his waist like a koala.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Aisha hugged his waist, tilted her head back, and her eyes were full of stars.

Norn followed behind, not as unrestrained as Aisha, but with her hands clenched in front of her chest.

Luo Ge swallowed his words after being interrupted by his two sisters.

He bent down and picked up Aisha, lifting her high in the air. Then, he used his other hand to pull Norn over as well, one on each side of his two younger sisters, and spun them around twice.

"Ugh... my head is spinning."

Aisha giggled, while Norn, slightly dizzy from being spun around, clung tightly to Luo Ge's collar.

"Luo Ge..."

Roxy walked over and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

"That..."

Roxy tilted her head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Luo Ge, I want... a hug too..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter.

Luo Ge paused for a moment, then immediately showed a knowing look.

Without saying a word, he casually put his two younger sisters down, then opened his arms to give Roxy a warm hug.

Although the two younger sisters are cute, they can't compare to Teacher Roxy.

Roxy buried her face in his shoulder and mumbled a congratulatory message, her voice barely audible.

"???"

Seeing this, Aisha and Norn exchanged a glance. They were the ones who arrived first, weren't they?

Although Norn didn't say anything, Aisha, who felt neglected, couldn't help but pout.

"Snort."

"Brother is so heartless! Ever since Sister Roxy came along, he's been ignoring his cute little sister."

"You agree, right, Sister Norn?"

Norn, who had always been at odds with Aisha, was now on Aisha's side for the first time. "Yeah... Brother and Sister Roxy are hugging and kissing in front of so many people, aren't they ashamed..."

Everyone was enjoying themselves.

What Luo Ge didn't know was that the moment he defeated Randolph and received the bone ring from him...

The stone monuments of the Seven Great Powers around the world underwent strange changes at the same time.

Every corner of the mainland.

The ancient stone tablets that had stood for hundreds or thousands of years suddenly began to shimmer with a faint light.

The pattern originally engraved on the fifth-ranked monument, which belonged to the previous Death God, disappeared in an instant.

It shattered in a silent tremor, turning into specks of light that dissipated.

Gradually, it was replaced by a design engraved with a small sword.

The sword is long and slender, with a translucent and delicate blade...

If someone familiar with this sword stands in front of the stone tablet and examines it closely, they will surely recognize it as the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword, one of the Seven Swords of the Sword God.

The seats of the Seven Great Powers have changed.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching the entire world's elite circles in an extremely short time.

Everyone is curious about the same question.

Who?

Who is it?!

So, who exactly is this man who quietly rose to become Seven Great Powers and acquired the title of "Death God"?

At this moment, Luo Ge had no idea that he had unwittingly become the Death God of the Seven Great Powers, and that he had caused quite a stir in the world.

His original plan was to defeat the Sword God Gal after he came of age and then inherit the title of "Sword God" from him.

It just goes to show that sometimes fate has a way of doing things in unexpected ways.
