Chapter 237: Gentleman
Will the sword come out victorious, or would the bear’s fur thick be enough to block the attack?
No one was questioning why the bear decided to face the sword without trying to evade. Everyone saw that the long sword was flying downwards like it had locked onto its target, and knew that the bear had no chance trying to run away from it!
Instead of wasting its energy trying to run away from the inevitable, it decided to strengthen its defense.
They were going to witness the battle between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield!
“Guang!!!!!”
A loud voice rang across the plains, followed by a huge pressuring wave rushing towards the others, sending some of the weaker observers flying away!

“What the, what happened?”
No one cared whether they were injured or not. The first thing everyone did was trying to see the outcome of the huge clash!
The sword was a thousand meters long, while the bear was standing up to three hundred meters.
The sword had completely penetrated the bear from its head to its leg!
The three-dragon-headed hilt was stuck on the skull of the huge bear. The bear was three hundred meters long, so it could only mean that the other seven hundred meters of the sword had penetrated in the ground!
This was the truth, but left everyone stunned to silence!
Master Blaise was rubbing his muddy specs trying to see what had happened. He was utterly shocked.
“How could this be possible. They match evenly, yet the spirit bear totem couldn’t take a single hit from its opponent?!”
He said to himself like he just sank into the biggest dilemma of his life.
The huge bear’s red eyes were wide open, but it could no longer roar. Its huge forelegs were above its head and holding the hilt, trying to pull out the sword from its body.
Everyone knew that that was not possible!
It would not be achievable according to physics. It was only three hundred meters tall, so unless it had the gum-gum bazooka ability like Luffy from One Piece, it would never pull the sword out!
“Eastern Dragon God is terrifyingly strong!!” A lot of them saw that and were amazed.
Those that were betting just now also started to feel scared. They hoped that he never heard them betting on him losing…
The clock was ticking. After thirty seconds, the bear stopped struggling. Its red eyes started fading, followed by its huge body disappearing quickly like snow melting under the hot sun.
A strong Russian man appeared. He was holding his head and fell to the ground.
Seemed like he was the person the spirit bear possessed. This man must be one of the strongest men in Russia.
However, no one paid attention to him. Everyone was echoing the same thing in their heart.
‘The first summoned totem in the world, the Russian spirit bear, is dead!! After just one attack!’
Everyone knew that the bear was going to die when they saw how the sword impaled the bear.
What they couldn’t accept was the fact that the strong and fierce spirit bear totem didn’t manage to hold itself against a single attack!!!
Although Russia had a smaller population, it was still considered a large country with 1,500,000,000 in its country. That totem was summoned by combining all the spiritual energy of that amount of people.
It was acting so tough towards everyone, and all the observers felt that they were the weaklings in front of it, but when it was facing the Eastern Dragon God, it was killed in seconds!
In their mind, they thought of two possible outcomes. Either the Venerable Dragon God would barely win through his limitless techniques, or that he would suffer a heavy defeat after a long battle. No one imagined he could knock out his opponent with a single blow!
Who would have thought that the descendants were so strong that they could fight off such a strong spirit bear totem with just one technique!
Maybe that was the true Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique? Might that technique be bestowed with the energy of the Heavenly Order? Maybe it was used specifically against criminals. This spirit bear was helping Russia in bullying the weak with its strength, was that why it could be stopped by this technique?
The fact was that the land they were standing on was truly snatched away from others by the Russians. Just because nobody mentioned it didn’t mean that no one knew about it. The Russians were not standing on a moral high ground…
Most of them decided to accept that as the reason to make them feel better.
If not, they would be badly discouraged by the fact that the totems that they took so much effort to create were so weak.
In the new era, random emergencies would pop up randomly all over the world. Many people needed something that they could rely on. The totems that represented a country became that item that they could worship since it would not disturb the daily lives of the people.
What they didn’t know was that all the reasons they were thinking of had nothing to do with this battle. That was a total domination over the opponent!
The gamebook had already commented previously; Sir System was the unbeatable one among those at the same level as it! It was a God of War!
After the spirit bear faded, the huge sword also disappeared. Vigilante A appeared on a green flying sword floating in the sky while looking at the Russian man.
That man lost his battle spirit. All he did was stay on the ground in disbelief. Such a strong totem was defeated so easily!
Vigilante A didn’t seem to be basking in pride, and he had no intention to kill his opponent while he was helpless.
He just said, “Now do you understand that there’s always someone stronger and better than you? Leave quickly and tell your people to stop taking what does not belong to them.”
That Russian man slowly regained his conscious and his eyes were filled with hatred, like he never listened to what Vigilante A was saying. He didn’t say a word or try to refute his statement, nor walk away.
Some of them were confused while the others were nodding in secret.
“This guy is a typical Eastern vigilante, a real gentleman. Even after he defeated his opponent, he never laughed at him or make matters worse for him, instead, he was trying to persuade him by giving him advice. He really is a nice guy among the powerhouses. No wonder he kept saying he was doing this for justice and could perform the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique. At least he has the right attitude,” Some of them were full of praise.
“Hmph, just another old-fashioned hero. He completely dominated his opponent, yet he refused to kill him straight. Looks like he is nothing to be afraid of since he still sticks to their own tradition,” More people objected to that idea.
“Maybe they are trying to keep a bit of relationship with the Russians? Now is the time to see what the Russians are going to do. Are they going to accept the presence of Cloud Fog City?”
While everyone was talking, they saw the justice cavalry that was accompanying the spirit bear appear in their sight.
They walked into the area without making a noise and seemed like they wanted to carry that man away.
Vigilante A never stopped them. For the others, they felt that Vigilante A was trying to give the Russians some face.
If not, in the older days, there would be no one from the opposite party that could run away with their lives. At best they just managed to outrun the winner.
Suddenly, three old priests held their hands and started praying.
A white light shined from the sky onto the Russian man, and the image of the spirit bear started to reappear on his body.
“Wow, so despicable!” Someone from the China Observation Group yelled.
“Venerable one, hurry up and kill these people that don’t accept their defeat!”
Those from the other observation group became muted.
What they were doing was completely shameless. Everyone could see that Vigilante A already gave them chances and refused to kill that man in that instant. Regardless, they should have accepted their defeat just now.
Those that cannot accept their defeat would never be looked up to!
Some of them were gloating.
“Why don’t you continue your act? Don’t you know that if evil is not eliminated completely, it will not rest until it destroys you?”
“Hmph, the technique just now was really strong, but it must have taken a lot of energy to be performed, so it is impossible for him to use it again!” On the South West side, the observation groups from multiple countries were talking to each other. Those from India were gloating the most.
They still hated Vigilante A. Even until that day they were still holding on to their grudges.
“That’s right. This is the real test. I know that the spirit bear totem is not that weak. Resurrection is its strongest trait!”
A lot of them nodded in agreement. Totems had the ability to resurrect itself. So long as the man that it possessed remained alive, it could still regather the spiritual energy of the people and be summoned.
Even if the original target was killed, they could also be transferred to a weaker host.
That was the reason why it had no fear when facing death and injuries!
Compared to other powerhouses, that was the trait that overpowered all the other strong extraordinaires in the world!
It would only grow stronger after every battle. Unless the spiritual energy of the people were completely drained, it would always remain alive.
Those that were challenging it will only become weaker after each injury and face their demise at the end. That was the advantage of using the power of the people, that it could recover an unlimited number of times.
Vigilante A never listened to the others. He looked at the cavalries reviving the spirit bear, yet he never did anything.
He said calmly, “Not giving up yet? Fine, I will make sure you use everything you have today, and we shall see how many times can you revive yourself. If I don’t beat you until you surrender willingly, you will only continue to cause more trouble and bully the innocent.”
…
At the same time, those viewers that were watching the live stream started commenting on their website.
“Domineering!”
“Outdated! This is just turning into a typical super evil boss fight! Hurry up and kill it!”
“What nonsense are you saying, our Dragon God is always like this. He will beat you until you willingly submit!”
“What a joke. Who would ask their opponent to use all their abilities? The correct thing to do is NOT let them have the chance to do that!”
“I support the comment above. I think the Eastern Dragon God is going to taste defeat today!”
“Rubbish, even if it revives, our Dragon God will simply beat it to the ground again!”
“Stupid, you think that the technique just now has no cooldown? This is going to be an even fight now.”
Mysteriously, no organization was trying to block the live stream. Seemed like they were intentionally trying to let everyone knows that the new era had really arrived. Everyone should stop thinking otherwise and face the truth.
…
The people in the Cloud Fog City were watching the fight in the grand plaza. All of them were in tears and felt touched.
The citizens were in a different position compared to others. As the group that were directly affected, they understood that the actions of the Venerable Dragon God were to better their lives!
He could have just killed the man and saved his effort, but just like he said, so long as the Russians remained stubborn they would soon return, and the citizens would still need to look after themselves when the time came.
The Venerable one was helping them to remove their concerns once and for all! Only through that could they live without any worries.
“Ai, the Venerable Dragon God is really a righteous hero. I have nothing but respect to him for helping us even till now!” Yun Hui said in a complicated expression.
As a lord of the city, a lot of the things that he did were to obtain greater benefits. Other than the most basic morality that he upheld, anything that was better was of no importance to him.
If not, he wouldn’t be have been able to pull in ten thousand people’s worth of power from the outside world all by himself.
However, today was the day he finally saw for himself how a true hero handled his business!
The best part was that his opponent was a powerful one. The spirit bear was fierce and strong, an even though the screen its fierce looks were enough to make him nervous, yet for the Venerable one, it only took him one move to kill it!
So long as he didn’t do anything bad or evil, he could still ask him for his help when there was any trouble in the future.
When he thought of this, he decided that in the future, he would never give up his own values for power.
As the leader of a city, Yun Hui had control over large resources. He would naturally have many ways to quickly improve his own power level.
For example, someone shared a method with him about the blood sacrificial technique by the Wise Grand Tutor. With his power, it would be too easy for him to capture innocent people living at the edge of society. Especially in the new era, no one would dare to question even the Wise Grand Tutor before his demise under the hand of the Vigilante A, so he would get away even easier.
However, Yun Hui was just in his 40s. His abilities were still improving daily along, with his power, so he had no intentions of using those shady tactics. That was the reason why he still kept his sanity and never did anything bad.
While the leader of the city was touched by his actions, those trying to make a living beneath him had their own reasons for their feelings.
“Finally, we no longer need to leave our home. We can live peacefully here forever,” Wang Qi was excited and walking back and forth.
He knew that with the presence of such a strong support, he no longer needed to worry about leaving this place.
The experience of starting over was not something a middle-aged man would like to have.
He looked at his wife and two foster daughters to try and see if they had the similar feelings as he had.
The three girls had a completely different reaction than he had. Their eyes were staring at the big screen onto the Vigilante A stepping on a flying sword.
“Mother, he is so handsome! That must be the Green Dragon Lord, right?” His elder daughter, Saki, was acting like she just met her idol.
“Yes, this must be his human identity,” Yamanashi explained while carrying her youngest daughter, and completely ignored her husband.
Wang Qi felt complicated…’Fine. The Venerable Dragon God is a gentleman, so he would never do something that I cannot imagine. I don’t need to worry about that.’
