Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 145: Second Floor of the Temple

When Ardentis pointed his finger at Ren, everyone shifted their gaze toward him, waiting for his response.

However, Ren remained completely unfazed.

His dark grey eyes flickered with amusement as he tilted his head slightly. It was funny because Ardentis looked like a kid now, completely different from before.

"What is this? Did the little snake snitch to his elder brother after losing a fight?" Ren’s tone was light and playful, but the insult was sharp enough to make Ardentis’ expression darken with rage.

Some of the awakeners chuckled at his words, but a few of them fell silent when they felt the aura radiating from Asher.

Unlike Ardentis, Asher’s presence carried a weight that sent a subtle chill through the air.

Even though both brothers were 3-star magical beasts, the difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth.

Ardentis always boasted that he had never lost a fight, but in truth, he had never won against his brother.

Of course, in his mind, it didn’t count.

His brother was an unparalleled genius, so losing against him was normal.

"Hey, is it just me, or does that guy feel... dangerous?"

"I don’t know, but something about him is different from that Ardentis guy."

"Yeah. I can feel it too."

"Are we going to be fine?"

"Don’t worry. We have brother Ren with us. Nothing bad will happen to us."

"That’s right. They may be strong, but there is no way they can defeat Brother Ren."

"I agree. With brother Ren here, they can’t do anything to us."

"Un, un."

After witnessing Ren’s overwhelming power, their faith in him remained unshaken.

They believed he could handle Asher as well.

"Little snake?" Asher was shocked by Ren’s words, but he didn’t attack Ren immediately. "Did he always call you snake?"

Ardentis clenched his fist and answered, "That’s right, brother. Not only that, but he also said we were not from the Dragon race, but the Water Snake race."

Asher returned his attention to Ren and spoke, "Saying we are from the Water Snake race... you’ve got some nerve, human."

"Hmm? What’s wrong with that?" Ren asked with a light tone, "Aren’t you from the Water Snake race? Or are you pretending to be a Dragon like your brother?"

"You are bold, human." Elara spoke abruptly. "Do you know who you are talking to?"

Ren shrugged and replied, "I don’t know and I don’t care."

Elara shifted her gaze to Asher and spoke, "Brother Asher, it seems like he needs to be taught a lesson first before he can behave well."

Asher took a step forward and spoke, "Human, let me test your strength. I want to know whether your strength is as good as your words or not."

When Ren saw Asher rushing toward him, he didn’t retrieve his Aether Weapon from his space ring; instead, he dashed toward him while raising his fist.

He also wanted to know how powerful Asher was, so he chose to attack Asher with his bare hands.

Ardentis’ lips curled up into a grin when he saw them rushing toward each other.

’Your luck ends here, human.’

He admitted that Ren was powerful, but he believed his brother would not lose to him.

Boom!

A thunderous sound reverberated in the entire area when their fists met.

The sheer force of their blows sent both of them skidding backward, their feet dragging across the luminescent moss-covered ground.

The air rippled from the shockwave, and the awakeners who were watching their fight held their breath.

Ardentis widened his eyes in shock when the result of their fistfight was a draw because it was different from what he expected.

’What?!’

Normally, his brother always won the fistfight, so he found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

’How could he be this strong?’

His shocked face turned to anger when he realized that Ren was much stronger than he thought.

Like Ardentis, Elara was also shocked. freēwēbnovel.com

However, she was still calm because she believed Asher would win the fight in the end.

Asher cracked his neck with a grin. "You are not bad, human."

"You are not bad yourself." Ren responded, "You are stronger than that little snake in your family."

Ardentis gritted his teeth after hearing Ren’s words because he knew Ren was talking about him.

’Brother, hurry up and defeat him! I want to tear his body apart so badly now.’

He couldn’t defeat Ren, so he could only depend on his brother.

"Again!" Asher uttered.

Without hesitation, they moved at incredible speed again, causing their bodies to blur in motion.

But when their fists were about to meet, a powerful pressure crashed down upon them, slamming them to a halt.

Boom!

Their bodies froze mid-motion, unable to push forward.

The ground beneath them shattered, and a powerful force filled the air.

All the awakeners and the magical beasts were stunned when they sensed the oppressive energy.

When they were in a state of shock, a voice suddenly rang out.

"No one is allowed to fight inside the temple. Stop now or else, I will kick you out." Right after the voice stopped, the pressure disappeared, leaving the entire garden in silence.

"Tch!" Asher clicked his tongue. "You are lucky, human."

"Maybe, it’s you who is lucky." Ren also stopped fighting because he didn’t want to get kicked out of the temple. "Everyone, let’s go to the second floor."

All awakeners exchanged glances with each other before finally nodding their heads. "Alright."

As Ren and his group headed to the teleportation gate, Asher and the others followed them from behind.

Ren and his group didn’t stop them because they were not allowed to fight inside the temple.

"Brother, are we just going to let it be?" Ardentis was unhappy with the turn of events because he wanted to take revenge on Ren so badly.

"We will take care of him later. For now, let’s focus on getting the inheritance." The Moon God’s inheritance was more important than killing Ren, so Asher was willing to stop.

Ardentis was still unhappy, but he didn’t voice it out because he knew what they should do at that time.

When Elara saw Ardentis’ sad expression, she tapped his right shoulder and spoke, "Don’t worry. You will get your revenge later. Just believe in your brother."

"Alright." Ardentis responded.

Like before, everyone was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery after passing through the teleportation gate.

But what they saw was not a beautiful garden like the one on the first floor.

They saw a beautiful forest with two stairs leading in two different directions.

The first stairs led to a teleportation gate to the next floor, while the other staircase led to an ancient tree.

The ancient tree was huge and tall.

Everything about the tree was golden from the roots, stems and leaves as if the tree was made of gold.

There were nine pools with blue water beneath the towering ancient tree. The first pool was on the first layer, while the ninth pool was on the ninth layer.

The first layer was closest to them, while the ninth layer was closest to the ancient tree.

Everyone couldn’t help but stare at the pools because they were curious about it.

"What are the uses of those pools?"

"I also want to know about it."

"I don’t know what the use of these pools is, but I’m sure they are not ordinary pools."

"Maybe those pool can heal our injuries."

"Maybe we can absorb mana or spiritual energy faster when we are in the pool."

"Or perhaps, the use of those pools is to temper one’s body."

"Then, why don’t we just try it? We will know the use of those pool after soaking in it."

"You are right."

"Let’s try it."

"Alright."

One by one, they approached the stairs, intending to soak in the pools.

Ren didn’t follow them; instead, he remained in his position.

’System, analyze that tree and those pools.’

He was also curious about the ancient tree and the pools, so he ordered his system to analyze it.

Several seconds later, his system finished analyzing everything.

[Host, the name of that tree is Golden Spirit Tree.]

His system said the Golden Spirit Tree was nurtured by absorbing spiritual energy and mana.

As for the nine pools beneath the tree, they were called Spirit Pools. The use of Spirit Pool was not for healing, but to temper one’s body.

’Temper one’s body?’

Ren was pleasantly surprised by the information because that meant those pools could make his body stronger.

[Yes. Host, please choose the ninth pool because the closer the pool is to the tree, the better the effect.]

’I see.’

He suddenly couldn’t wait to enter the pool.

"Lexie, Scarlett, the use of those pools is to temper one’s body. The closer the pool is to the tree, the better the effect." Ren shared the information with his women.

However, he didn’t lower his voice because he wanted Zaria and Ariana to hear it too.

"How do you know about it, Ren?" Scarlett asked curiously.

He didn’t move from his position and only stared at the pool, so she wondered where he got that information from.

"Secret!" Ren responded as he winked his left eye. "Alright, let’s head to those pools now."

"Un." Scarlett and the others nodded their heads.

"Temper one’s body?" Elara said as she touched her chin.

They were not far from Scarlett earlier, so they could hear Ren’s words clearly.

Ardentis looked at his elder brother before finally speaking, "Elder brother, let’s go to the pools too."

"Alright." Asher agreed immediately.

Then, all awakeners and magical beasts approached the stairs, intending to enter the pools.
