1375 Kulas' Background(2)

"How dare you!" Kulas' aura suddenly exploded when Gu Lim called Tian Yang a talentless trash, his gaze filled with killing intent.

"Are you sure you want to fight the five of us by yourself over trash like that? In case you forgot, we're all limited to peak Spirit King. Even you wouldn't be able to defeat us with such a restriction." Gu Lim spoke with an arrogant grin on his face.

"We won't know until—"

Tian Yang interrupted Kulas by placing a hand on his shoulder.

"It's fine," he shook his head.

"But they—"

"They're not wrong. I am talentless, so there's no need to fight over it."

"Ahaha! At least this trash knows his place!" The group laughed out loud.

Kulas could feel Tian Yang's grip on his shoulder strengthen.

Seeing this, Kulas closed his eyes and took a deep breath, easing his anger.

"Are you finished? If so, we'll be leaving now." Kulas said a moment later.

"What's the rush? Since we haven't seen each other for so long, why don't we chat a little longer?" Gu Lim said.

"I have nothing to say to you. If you have so much free time, why don't you spend it looking for Han Zexian's legacy instead of wasting it here?" Kulas sneered.

"Han Zexian's legacy? We've been looking for eight months straight without any result, so we're taking a small break for the time being. What about you? What have you been doing for the past several months?"

"Seeing how he's in the first section, he's probably doing trials. What a waste of time."

"Right? It's not like the rewards will even benefit him."

"Hey, didn't we just pass a jade altar? Why don't you try it, Kulas? I heard it's the hardest trial available in this place."

Tian Yang's eyes flickered with a profound light after hearing this information.

'The trial within the gold altar nearly killed me, but its reward was tremendously beneficial. If I can complete a jade altar's trial…'

Kulas turned to look at Tian Yang, and when he saw the look on Tian Yang's face, he immediately smiled and said, "Sure."

"Seriously? You're going to do the trial?" The group didn't think Kulas would actually agree to it.

"Nobody has ever passed the trial even though tens of thousands have attempted during the last eight months."

"You're just going to walk into your own grave—even if you are the genius of the Immortal Might Clan."

"Immortal Might Clan…?" Tian Yang raised an eyebrow.

Although he suspected that Kulas belonged to a powerful family from the beginning, he didn't think that it was part of the Immortal Clans.

Kulas looked at Tian Yang with an apologetic smile and spoke with divine sense, 'Sorry, I didn't mean to keep it from you. After learning of your situation, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you that I was from the Immortal Clans.

Tian Yang shook his head and said, 'If I never asked you about your background, you had no reason to tell me, so there's no need to apologize. And it's not as though I have a grudge against everyone from the Immortal Clans—only those responsible for the confinement.'

'I see… thank you…'

"I didn't know you cared about my life," Kulas said to the group a moment later.

"Cocky bastard, let's see if you'll survive the trial." Gu Lim sneered.

Tian Yang and Kulas followed Gu Lim and his group to the jade altar, which was only an hour away from their location.

Upon arriving at their destination, Tian Yang could see three people sitting around an altar made of jade with several hundred spectators.

'There are more spectators than there are challengers…' This was Tian Yang's first time seeing such a sight after witnessing a dozen different trials.

By the time Tian Yang and the others landed around the altar, one of the three challengers suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing on the ground.

Nobody there expressed any surprise and continued to spectate the other two in silence.

Tian Yang looked at Kulas and said, "You don't have to do this with me."

"Are you saying that because you don't want me to die with you, or you think you can pass it but I can't?" Kulas asked with a slight frown.

"You have no reason to risk your life for this trial."

"What about the previous trials we've done together?"

"This one is different. Nobody has ever completed it." Tian Yang shook his head.

"Then why are you taking the trial? You can reach peak Spirit King if you just continue to do easier trials."

Tian Yang looked at the jade altar and sighed, "My talent may have improved a lot since I started doing the trial, but it is still insignificant when compared to the majority of people out there. I won't be able to achieve my dreams if I continue going the easy route."

"If I don't survive this trial, I am simply not fated for anything else."

"You're going to partake in the trial? A talentless trash like you? You won't even last a minute!" Gu Lim and his group were in disbelief after learning this information.

Tian Yang smiled at the group and said, "Would you like to bet on that?"

"That would be pointless since you'll die if I win. What can I possibly get out of a corpse?" Gu Lim sneered.

"How about I make the bet then?" Kulas suddenly said.

"Now that's more like it." Gu Lim smiled.

"What shall we bet on? Whether he lives or dies?"

Kulas nodded, "I will bet on him surviving the trial."

"What are the stakes?" Gu Lim then asked.

Kulas pondered for a moment before speaking, "I'll bet my Ancestral Gauntlet."

Gu Lim's expression froze after hearing Kulas' words, and the people behind him looked dumbstruck.

"A-Are you serious? You're willing to bet on your favorite weapon for this talentless trash?" Gu Lim held a serious expression as he asked for confirmation.

"Don't look down on my friend. You call him talentless, but there are many kinds of talents in this world, and his talent to survive is the best I've ever seen." Kulas nodded with a confident smile on his face.
