"Tetsuo?" Rex thought while Margaret was introducing him to everyone.
Rex finally remembered who he was.
'Tetsuo a Final Boss in the Third Realm'
"Tetsuo, a Six-Tailed Fox in the Third Realm. He is currently working on gaining on Nine Tails before becoming a cultivator. This Quest to kill him is only given once. Do you wish to participate?"
Rex smiled because he remembered killing him. Thousands upon thousands of cultivators fought bravely but lost.
Tetsuo and Rex met briefly and began to test each other out. Before long, the duo were fighting with their lives on the line.
A single misstep is all it took for Rex to slice Tetsuo in half. Tears of sorrow fell from Tetsuo's face. He never got the chance to become stronger.
Shortly after that, a test of wills was given to Rex. He at the time destroyed it. He wondered if the test of wills was for Tetsuo.
"The test of wills." Rex thought.
"All of my life, I have had to be the best I can. In front of you, I am nothing. Will you help me travel the Realms? I am bottlenecked at the Sixth Realm currently." Tetsuo asked.
Rex just stayed there without saying anything. His mind is preoccupied with the test of wills.
Everyone around Rex thought that Rex was being insensitive. Even Tetsuo felt that Rex was being rude.
"A test of wills." Rex said.
"The forbade test?" Tetsuo answered.
"That forbidden test?" The commander replied.
"Test of wills?" Margaret questioned.
"Such a hateful test." Amber replied.
"NO." Iris and Liz answered.
"What is going on?" Bella yelled.
Everyone spoke in such a manner that she could not figure out what happened.
"The test of wills is an ancient test that made people become useless and powerful. The useless became fodder for beasts, while the powerful became corrupted rulers." The commander replied.
"Even in the Ninth Realm, the test of wills is forbidden because of all the hardships that have to be done." Amber said.
"You want to break through and become a Nine Tailed Fox, correct?" Rex asked.
"Of course. It is not only my dream but the dream of my tribe." Tetsuo replied.
"Bring us the largest boulder you all can find." Rex said.
"Are you positive?" The commander replied.
"Of course. This is the best way to test Tetsuo without killing him." Rex answered.
Everyone's jaw dropped. Hearing what Rex said means that he already considered fighting Tetsuo.
The Six Tails of Tetsuo came out. To Rex, these tails were different than what he remembered. Instead of black, red, and stripes of orange inside the black.
These were red with black stripes on the inside. Rex wondered if he met him before he actually rejoined his tribe.
"What would make your tails black and red with orange stripes?" Rex pondered.
"It is the only one way that happens. That is, you have been abandoned in the Fox Tribe. Why do you ask?" Tetsuo asked.
"I read of a powerful Six Tailed Fox who could easily kill almost any cultivator. Once he got the black and red tails with orange stripes. He tried anything to become a Nine Tailed Fox. He ended up dying because he fought a body cultivator." Rex answered.
Tetsuo frowned at such a sad outcome for someone like him. He did not give up.
"So what will our test of wills be?" Tetsuo asked.
"Truthfully, I am not sure. I know that it will have to be something that will not destroy either one of us." Rex answered.
That made Rex actually come up with an idea. He was not sure that it would work.
No one had any idea of what to do. Rex finally laid back on and enjoyed the couch.
"We could just test our wills against each other." Rex answered.
Everyone stopped and stared at Rex. Just by testing each other's will was a beginners' way to fight.
"I hope that there is more to the story?" The commander asked.
"We will test our will against each other. For what each of us wants and will achieve. Whoever's will is stronger will be the winner. It is not only a matter of will, determination also is a major factor." Rex said.
Tetsuo found this test to be funny. It was also the best way to fight without being hurt.
Iris and Liz both wanted to bang a pan over Rex's head. There was no doubt that this match would become a showcase in the Third Realm.
The commander and the battalion all left. They searched high and low for two days until a massive Boulder big enough for both parties to carve into was found. It then took everyone a few hours to get there. Once they did, almost an entire day to roll the boulder to the Labyrinth's Inner Circle.
A fence was built around the perimeter of the inner circle of Rex's City. Just the regular fence being built puts the outer edge of the inner circle almost twice the size that Rex wanted.
He had a house built for him. He was also placing the boulder just a little ways away from his house.
Once the boulder was placed. Tetsuo began to carve on the left side of the boulder. Using his tails, he carved out a half Fox, glaring towards an uncut half.
This took nearly a week for him to do. Mainly because he waited for his tribesmen to come help him out.
Rex just relaxed while waiting for Tetsuo to finish. He never once tried to go sabotage Tetsuo's half.
Finally, Tetsuo called Rex outside. Rex casually walked out with a wooden sword made from the treant wood.
The sword was not strong at all. With Rex's Qi circling it, the wood began to glow extremely faintly.
Four swings were enough to get the outer shape made. Tetsuo frowned at such a technique used.
He did not want his half to be destroyed.
Down the middle of the now two rock statues was the words, "MY WILL SHALL NOT BE BROKEN."
Both men glared before holding each other's hand.
The sound of two men yelling as loud as they can. The shouting began to shake the statue. All the Builder Faction came out for this glorious dsy.
