"No need to worry," Severin responded with a chuckle. He faced the incoming attack without a hint of apprehension and simply clenched his fist to unleash a punch. "Stonebreaker Fist!"An enormous fist materialized before him as he called out the technique's name. His attack exuded a terrifying aura and surged directly ahead with a resounding rush of wind."The momentum is formidable! Is that the true Stonebreaker Fist, the most basic soil-grade low-rank combat technique?"Severin's proclamation of his technique left many observers in disbelief. After all, it was widely regarded as the most rudimentary combat technique, one typically practiced at lower attainment levels. Most practitioners generally eschewed such techniques when they reached higher levels.However, Severin's Stonebreaker Fist exhibited overwhelming power and momentum, leading spectators to question if it was indeed the same technique."It is indeed the Stonebreaker Fist, but the fact that he could employ it with su
"Honey!" After realizing that Roxanne was dead, Marco's eyes were filled with a menacing and bloodshot rage. He glanced up and unleashed a guttural scream. In a flash, he ascended into the air and bellowed, "Kill him! Attack him all at once!"One of the elders was a little apprehensive. He questioned Marco, "Sir, his... It won't do us any good to mess with someone of his attainment. He's so strong that even the most basic of techniques are powerful beyond compare. Don't you think his attainment might be stronger than yours?""There's nothing to be afraid of! We won't know until we give it a try! Our strength lies in our numbers!" Marco retorted, already consumed by wrath. He clenched his fists and channeled his spiritual energy into them.Severin sneered when he observed their persistent defiance. Eager to conclude the battle, he unsheathed a sword and infused it with spiritual energy. The sword emitted a piercing cry as it vibrated faintly, sending involuntary shivers down each onl
"I've accumulated a significant number of spiritual herbs in the past month. Once I have some free time, I'll focus on refining more pills to assist our comrades within Dracodeus Temple. It would be good to boost their progress within our limited time frame," Severin contemplated as he used his mental energy to assess the spiritual herbs within the spatial ring.At night, Severin remained industrious and dedicated himself to pill refinement. More specifically, he utilized second-grade high-rank and third-grade low-rank spiritual herbs to create a substantial quantity of pills.The following morning, Sheila, Diane, and the others eagerly sought out Severin."Hehe, can you guess why we're here, honey?" Diane inquired playfully.Severin saw how well-dressed they were and could not help himself from smiling. "Of course. You've all been wanting to explore the nearby islands, right? Let's go, then! I'll do some sightseeing with all of you during the day and spend my nights focusing on al
Many looked on enviously at the colossal flying sword. When they thought of how easily the Gregories' had been killed just a few days ago, their impulses were promptly quelled. While such a treasure was undoubtedly very desirable, anyone who wished to seize it would need to be stronger than its owner."Your flying sword is truly remarkable. It can expand to such a colossal size in addition to maintaining such an impressive speed. I never imagined I'd have the opportunity to ride something like this. It's an anecdote I'll brag about for lifetimes to come," the second elder of Sus Hall remarked while standing on it. Severin smiled wryly and replied, "It can travel at a rather decent speed, but its increased size makes it heavier. This, in turn, required more spiritual energy and mental energy, particularly when there's a sizable number of people riding it.""Won't we need to take plenty of breaks along the way then?" Diane asked concernedly.Severin smiled and assured her, "Not nece
Severin replied somewhat helplessly, saying, "Well, it's not like there's anything else we can do to speed things up. They're actively making inquiries about the two halls. Dracodom might be big, but we only have a few cities left. We probably will receive news soon, if we look at it from that perspective."Sofia grinned slightly and asked, "When do you plan to visit my father at the Stormy Moon Sect? You said you'd come with me, didn't you?""Let's rest for a couple of days first. We just returned, after all. I'll take this opportunity to refine some pills and catch up with the other hall masters. Give me three days before we set off," Severin replied with a smile. "I'll come along!" Sheila promptly declared."Me too! I haven't seen the sect yet, and I'm curious to know what it's like," Diane added enthusiastically."Can I come along?" Elsa appeared out of nowhere with her hands behind her back. She was smiling slyly after overhearing their conversation."You seem to be in a ve
When Sheila heard that, she panicked and hastily said to Elsa, "Don't believe a word he says, Elsa. His barbecued meats are the best. They're better than any dish you find at a five-star restaurant! You'll regret it if you don't get a taste of it."Diane immediately chimed in and said, "Absolutely! He's just saying that to avoid going through all the trouble. His barbecue is the best I've ever had."Sofia then gulped and added, "Stop it, you two. Just thinking about the aroma is enough to trigger my inner carnivore."Elsa had a puzzled expression as she responded, "Aren't you exaggerating? I guess I'll have to give it a try then." She then turned to Severin and said with a smile, "Looks like your three wives love your barbecue very much. Guess we'll have to go with that for today's reward then..."Severin was speechless. He raised his eyebrows playfully as he retorted, "But didn't you just say you don't like greasy food?"Elsa grinned mischievously and said, "That was then and thi
"How do you find it, Elsa? It's worth all that trouble, don't you agree?" Sheila asked with a smile midway through the meal.Elsa nodded, but she managed to squeeze in a little complaint. "Yes. It's amazing. But it is a shame that we don't have any wine to accompany this meal. It'll be even better with wine."Severin's memory seemed to have been jolted, and he immediately produced a few bottles of wine with a wave of his hand. "I almost forgot I had some spiritual wine with me. We can all share some, but be warned: this wine can easily get you drunk, so don't drink too much.""That's great! I didn't expect you to have wine too! Don't mind if I do, then," Elsa said with a smile. She took a bottle and sipped some from it. "Whoa, it tastes amazing! It goes well with the barbecued meat. This is honestly quite enjoyable."Selene pouted when she watched all the adults enjoying the wine. "Why can't I get any? I want some too."Severin smiled at Selene and said, "You're young to drink. Yo
Birk was in a meeting with several elders when he suddenly detected a faint trace of mental energy sweeping across their sect before disappearing. He was able to sense it even though the fluctuation was quite weak and hard to detect."Is that so? I didn't feel anything?" A middle-aged man frowned, appearing somewhat puzzled.An elder who was an alchemy master chimed in with a solemn expression, "I felt it too. The person retracted their mental energy in just a moment, but there's no doubt that someone was observing our sect using their mental energy."The great elder clenched his fist in anger and exclaimed, "This is outrageous! Who would dare to do such a thing? Don't they realize that we're a secluded sect? How could they just sense our location on a whim with their mental energy? It's a blatant act of disrespect!" The great elder continued with a request, "Please allow me to teach this intruder a lesson. They shall be made to understand that mental energy should never be used for
