It was a mess in the Garland Gym. Everyone was injured, including Edward. However, there was one person who was seriously injured. The injuries he sustained were even more severe than Edward's, and Edward was now protecting him. The most seriously injured person was Parker, Cody's younger brother. Edward said calmly, “I have never had any conflict with Cloudia Paragon before, so why are you doing this to us today?”A man in his mid-20s wearing a beige uniform was standing in front of Edward. He was a disciple of Cloudia Paragon.His name was Sam McConell. He had been a disciple of Cloudia Paragon for a very long time, and he had learned from many masters there.Cloudia Paragon was an ancient place in Skyriv. They had a long history, and there were a lot of legends about them. Even today, the true strength of Cloudia Paragon remained a mystery. Someone said that the master of Cloudia Paragon was a powerful being who could crush a grandmaster with ease. Some of them also s
“Master Garland, can you get me a big bathtub? Remember to fill half of it with water.”Edward hurriedly went to do Kayson’s bidding.In the meantime, Kayson went around and treated the other disciples.Even though all of them were seriously injured, their conditions were not as severe as Parker’s.The person who came to crush them had given Parker a “special service.” He had left a powerful strand of energy inside Parker that damaged all of his organs.Roughly ten minutes later, Cody arrived, and his eyes turned bloodshot when he saw Parker.“Kayson, how is my brother doing?” Cody asked worriedly. His eyes were turning red around the rims. “Don’t worry. I can heal him. Right now, I need your help. Get all of the disciples and lay them in a supine position in a row.” “Okay!” Both of them went around the gym, and they soon treated all of the disciple’s injuries.Tanner returned, so Kayson began preparing the medicated bath. After that, he put Parker into the bathtub and use
Edward’s eyes were filled with hatred when he saw Sam. “How dare you show up here again!?”He did not need to be afraid of him anymore since Kayson was here. The other disciples of the gym stared at Sam angrily as well. Sam smirked. “Why not? All of you are nothing but trash, and there isn’t anyone here who can stop me.”However, he did not care about Edward and his disciples. The people he cared about were Kayson and his group, who came in after he left.Sam raised his voice and shouted, “I’ll repeat again! Who the hell saved Parker? Come on out now and accept your death!”Cody replied angrily, “So, you’re the one who injured my brother? My brother hasn’t done anything wrong to you, so how can you do something like that to him? If you don’t give us an explanation, you’re not walking out of the door today!”Sam glanced at him and scoffed. “You’re his brother? Hmph! Very well, then! I’ll send you to heaven together later!“Crippling your brother and making him unable to speak
Sam was weak, and his face was pale.“Why are you targeting Parker?” His face twisted into a grimace as he said, “I won’t tell you even if you’re going to kill me.”Kayson slapped him across his face. “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I have plenty of ways to make you tell the truth.”After that, he cast the Soul-guiding Curse on Sam. Sam’s eyes turned glassy, and he said honestly, “It's an order from my master. His name is Master Octavius. He told me that Parker had seen something he shouldn’t have, and I needed to silence him.”Kayson lifted his eyebrows. “What is it?”Sam replied blankly, “I don’t know.”“Why didn’t you kill Parker straightaway?”Sam replied, “Parker’s life is simple. He has never gotten into a conflict with anyone before, and it’d create suspicion if we just killed him directly.“Initially, I planned to knock Parker out cold. Then, I’d sneak into the hospital and kill him at night when he was getting treated in the hospital.”The Younts were dum
Kayson chuckled and said, “I’m sure Cloudia Paragon already knows that I’m the one who killed Master Oclave. What are they going to do to me?”Gritting his teeth, Sam said, “You’re dead, kid. Master Oclave is the junior of the head of Cloudia Paragon. Soon, the person who’s going to take your life will come to you!” “Hmm?”Kayson was excited. Just as he expected, Cloudia Paragon was planning something. Besides, it seemed to him that they were treating him as a powerful opponent. That was why they did not act rashly. Sam continued and threatened him, “Kid, I suggest you go to Cloudia Paragon and beg for forgiveness. This way, maybe we’ll show you some mercy and grant you a painless death!”Kayson laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world and slapped Sam so hard that two of his teeth flew out of his mouth. “You're at my mercy, yet you still have the guts to act all high and mighty here? It seems like you have quite a lot of confidence in Cloudia Paragon.”Kayson k
“Go look for Master Ocvera. He’ll heal you. I’ll go look for my senior!”Sam was delighted inwardly. Master Octavius’ senior was the head of Cloudia Paragon. He was the strongest amongst them.“Yes, sir!” Master Octavius left the hall and came to the Hall of Excellence, the place where the head of Cloudia Paragon stayed. “Senior!”In the Hall of Excellence, his senior was sitting on a couch with his eyes closed. When he heard Master Octavius’s voice, he slowly opened his eyes and said, “What’s wrong, Octavius? Why are you in such a hurry?” After Master Octavius recounted everything that Sam had told him, he fell silent for a while and said slowly, “I see. If he comes, then all we have to do is make sure he won’t be able to get out of here alive. After all, we need to avenge Oclave’s death.”Master Octavius nodded and said, “I’ll ask our members to get ready for battle. There is a probability that he’ll come for us soon.”As soon as he had finished talking, his senior said, “
Some of the disciples came forward when they heard the commotion. When they saw Master Octavius’ arm was drenched in blood, their faces turned pale with fright.Kayson did a somersault in the air and landed on the ground with feline graces. His arm was also a bit numb, and it seemed to him that he had underestimated the Odinous Power.It was a skill that increased one's inner energy. Even though Master Octavius’ inner energy was not as potent as his, he was able to unleash such a powerful attack after practicing the Odinous Power. If he could practice the Odinous Power as well, did this not mean that he would be able to easily kill a grandmaster by just unleashing his inner energy alone? That would be very awesome!“I… I can’t believe that you also have lighting energy…”Master Octavius’ forehead was filled with beads of cold sweat, and his face was contorted in pain.Although he was the fifth amongst his senior brothers, his strength was ranked second, just below their eldest s
Master Oczen, whose head was drenched in blood, was only able to stop himself after he smashed through two halls in consecutive.The world in his vision was spinning, and he could barely stand straight.“You—”Master Oczen was both surprised and angered.‘What the hell was that thing?’Before he could finish his sentence, Kayson had already appeared in front of him with his first raised high in the air. He rammed his fist straight into Master Oczen’s chest, causing him to spit a mouthful of blood.The result of an exchange between two powerful fighters was often decided in one hit. Master Oczen was seriously injured, and it was apparent that he had lost the battle.“D*mn it! Elite Eight! Get into formation!” shouted Master Oczen, and eight muscular bare-chested men appeared from the surrounding area. The alarm in Kayson’s heart blared, and he hastily took a few steps back.The eight muscular men swiftly surrounded Kayson, each holding a stick in their hand.In the next sec
