Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave Chapter 57 Fight Tooth And Nail (Part One)

At that time, the masters were waiting outside Bloody Mountain. They had all locked onto Ryan through
their picture slabs.

Ryan had shown the most potential in the blooded test, but most masters had lost interest in him. While
it was true that the masters used the test to hunt for potential disciples, they had their reasons for not
focusing on Ryan.

Firstly, although Ryan was the strongest candidate in this blooded test, the masters believed that he
would want to join Dragon Peak because his relative, Master Fang, was the head of Dragon Peak. If
Ryan had no intention of considering other peaks, then the masters would not waste their time trying to
recruit him as a disciple.

Zen was another reason that drove the masters' attention away from Ryan. The masters had been
watching the examinees who had entered the second and third layers of the blooded test. They had
seen Zen on their picture slabs, and his abilities had caught their attention. They had been watching
Nory for a long time since Zen had saved him. Although disciples from noble clans had surrounded
Zen, he still risked himself to save Nory. Since Zen and Nory seemed to be friends, the masters
thought they would stay together.

However, to their great disappointment, they failed to find Zen. Zen didn't seek out Nory in the next
layer.

The masters assumed that Zen might like fighting alone and dislike having contact with others. Perhaps
Zen was a man who preferred coming and going freely.

After a long while, when no master had been able to find Zen on their picture slabs, one master
switched to Ryan. That was when he noticed the fight beginning between Ryan and Zen. Once he had
alerted the other masters, excitement surged through them. They all shifted their picture slabs to Ryan
right away.



Given the potential of both Ryan and Zen, the masters knew that a great fight lay ahead. Adding to the
excitement were the odds that were now in Ryan's favor since he had cast a large net entrapping
himself and Zen inside.

Ryan had been the most promising candidate during the test. But Zen was an unexpected successful
entrant. Ryan's choice for which peak he would join was obvious and settled, however, Zen was
different since he came from a low-level clan. He had no one to depend on. Since he was a person of
extraordinary ability, all the masters intended to secure him as their disciple and cultivate him with all
their strength to create a bright future for their peaks.

Seeing the battle between Ryan and Zen, the interest of all masters was aroused.

"Who do you think will win?" One master whispered to the master next to him.

"I think Ryan will win!" The master answered.

"Why?"

"Look at the weapon in Ryan's hand. Don't you know that dagger? It's called the Cut-All-Like-Air
Dagger! The energy filaments emitted by this spiritual weapon were capable of destroying anything, no
matter how strong. Zen would be knocked out of the blooded test as soon as the energy filaments cut
him."

Before long, all the masters were debating about the odds of the fight between Ryan and Zen. Some
supported Ryan, while some thought Zen would win. They could not reach a consensus.

Only one master remained silent. Master Su was very upset. She sulked like a little girl who had hidden
a toy of great interest to her from others but had lost it before she found the chance to take it home on
the sly.



Her expression conveyed her disappointment and anxiety.

Zen stared at Ryan who was standing across from him. He gathered his strength and enveloped his
body in an eerie iridescent purple light.

At this time, Ryan was one of the strongest enemies he had ever encountered. Zen knew that this was
just the beginning. He would face many enemies on his path, and they would be stronger than Ryan.
Although Ryan was at the marrow refining level, he put great pressure on Zen.

While many children idled away their time, many children from noble clans cultivated hard and
possessed incredibly powerful strength.

They had access to the best resources in the world. If they could cultivate hard, they would make rapid
progress and gain higher combat effectiveness than cultivators from ordinary families at the same level.

Zen circled Ryan. After circling Ryan twice, neither Zen nor Ryan had attacked. Ryan started his attack
on Zen when Zen circled him for the third time.

With a malicious smile on his face, Ryan pulled a bright blue filament from the dagger in his hand and
then threw the filament at Zen.

Under normal conditions, Ryan looked gentle and quiet. However, he was in a frenzied state when he
was fighting with others. It seemed that mutilating his opponent was the only way to calm Ryan.

Zen jumped up without hesitation and rolled back to avoid the bright blue filament, but he was a little
slow. The bright blue filament flew past his forehead and cut off some of his hair.

This narrow escape shocked Zen. He felt ashamed at not being able to dodge the attack completely.
Zen gulped when he realized that had he been any slower, the filament would have sliced his head off.



Ryan gave Zen no time to catch his breath. He rotated the dagger in his hand and generated many
chaotic bright blue filaments in a minute. Then he ran toward Zen with the intention of slamming Zen
with the bright filaments.

The treacherous filaments would cut Zen into pieces, and he would die a tragic death if Ryan were to
succeed.

At the moment, Zen had no other choice but to run!

Zen could not attack Ryan when the filaments surrounded him.

Running straight at the person holding the filaments would increase Zen's odds of being shredded. Zen
needed another plan.

The day had not turned out the way Zen had expected. The test had been going well. After all, Zen had
enough crystal shards to pass the blooded test. But now when he was so close to success, he did not
expect anything like this to happen. What could he do? With no other alternatives, Zen smiled bitterly.

The large net covered Ryan and Zen. The net encompassed hundreds of feet, but there was little
space for Zen to dodge.

Since Ryan was relentless in his attacks, Zen had no choice but to retreat several steps. At last, Zen
was cornered. There was nowhere left for him to go.
