"Smash this shop and break his limbs!"Bald was inhumane. He gave the orders coldly and stood by the side to watch with his arms folded.Longsworth's Bald Walt had a bad reputation and was good at forcing people to relocate. He was the nemesis of stubborn proprietors like Flynn. Flynn was only an unimportant person in all this, and Bald did not care much for him.To Bald, Flynn was like a homeless dog that did not require any attention.Everything in the shop was broken.Flynn could only sit on the ground while glaring furiously at them. He was helpless and angry. Flynn was so angry, he could kill."This is your last warning, brat. Continue sticking around tomorrow and you'll die!"After they thrashed the shop, Bald left him a cold yet vicious warning before he left. As the manager of the demolition and relocation team, he had already disappointed his chairman."Ptui! Let's see who dies in the end!"Flynn refused to give in. He clenched his teeth at this thought and began to c
"Hoho! It's just two of us here. There's no problem with me calling you that!" Flynn smiled happily when he saw the shy look on her face. However, his smile pulled on the wound on his head, and he crouched to the ground in pain."Were you hit again? I told you to call the police! It's illegal for them to force us into relocating. We're moving soon too. I heard the Landle Enterprise has bought this entire street.""No, I'll handle my own problems. Do you think I'm not strong enough?"Flynn remembered that Constantine the Great would never beg others for help when he was in trouble. He would bulldoze forward and make sure he got things done on his own.Celeste frowned at his words."What are you saying? Do you think you can beat them all down? They're all vicious people. Stop being stubborn about this!" Celeste was the prettiest girl on the street. She was bright and beautiful, and many young men were attracted to her. However, she only treated Flynn well.This was the only thi
Celeste went off to cook while Flynn watched her go into the kitchen with a silly smile on his face.When he lowered his head, he was suddenly feeling troubled. The object he had used to smash Bald's head was that figurine.The top of the figurine had a crack now.That rich young man was coming in the evening to pick it up. It was too late for Flynn to make another one. Moreover, he did not have the material to make a second one. He was troubled at the thought of this.After he had his meal with Celeste and walked her home, it was getting near to the pickup time. What was he supposed to do?Flynn began to feel anxious.Chase watched this silently. Why was this guy such a blockhead?Did he not just receive the Forgework Heavenly Scribe?Chasenow had an understanding of it.The Forgework Heavenly Scribe's inscriptions could be used to repair various materials after one achieved stage one. The inscriptions were a technique that used spiritual energy.Cultivating stage one woul
Flynn respectfully brought the warrior figurine to the table."Is it useful?"The rich young man glanced at it and asked condescendingly."Of course, it is!" Flynn emphasized heavily. There was a powerful air about him when he spoke, and the group of men that came in were taken aback.Despite sounding confident, Flynn was not entirely sure."Would this be useful to find my girlfriend if she ran off?" the rich young man continued speaking haughtily."Sure!" Flynn replied with confidence. He sounded like he was all-knowing and had full gusto in his reply."Dang, you rascal. You're young, but you sound so sure of yourself!"The rich young man was amused. Even the bodyguards behind him laughed.Flynn did not even bat an eye at the question as he immediately guaranteed that this supernatural method was effective.Just then, the rich young man's phone rang."Hello? Fred? It's me, Linny. Something happened at home recently, and I had to leave without saying goodbye. I'm so sorry."
"Pray? Do you mean you want me to kneel?"Fred frowned."That's right.""Are you doing this on purpose?"Fred was enraged to hear that.The bodyguard's expression turned grim, and he looked like he was about to attack Flynn."Try it if you believe me. You can forget about it if you don't!"Flynn had made his decision and decided not to bother much with these two men.All he did was reply to them coldly.However, Fred had always held a high social status and could not do it. He thought about it and ordered his bodyguard, "Go! Kneel to that figurine!"The bodyguard was not happy about this, but he could not disobey the order. He gave it some thought and went to the figurine. Before he knelt, he turned back to Flynn to give him a warning."Remember, brat! If you dare trick us, I'll tear your head off!"Flynn ignored him. All he did was place the figurine on the table and check the inscription carved onto it."Great warrior, I admire you a lot, but if you're helping conmen lik
"Help! I'm convinced now!"That was when Flynn kicked Fred away from the pot in delight. Fred was saved from this 'harm'.After that, he laughed and said, "My figurine works. Do you believe me now?""I was just joking with you. What about my girlfriend? How about my father? Why did it only fulfill my third wish? I don't think it's as powerful as you claim it to be. I'm not wasting any more time with you. I'll take the figurine, but I'll pay you only if it works, understand?"Fred got up from the ground in a disheveled state. He was not being honest about this."Fine. Take it with you."Flynn did not care about Flynn's words and gave the figurine to him."Hmph! I'll be back tomorrow!"Fred grunted coldly and left with the figurine.Flynn watched him leave and did not stop him.…"Hey, why did your figurine crack further?"Fred returned early the next morning before Flynn had even opened his shop. He had brought along the same bodyguard from before.However, there were troub
Bald rushed in and took one look at Flynn, and his murderous intent flared up. However, when he noticed Fred and the bodyguards, he hesitated."Who the hell are you? You dare come buy things here? Are you looking to die too?"Flynn immediately grabbed the statue on the table, ready to bash Bald's head in. But when Fred saw his sacred statue being lifted, he quickly demanded, "What's going on?""What's going on? Who the hell are you? Don't you know this place is set for demolition? Get the hell out, or I'll beat you up too!"Bald, who was unaware of who Fred was, swung a slap at him."You son of a—"The bodyguard understood his boss' thoughts and was instantly furious. He stepped forward quickly and raised his hand, delivering a resounding slap that sent Bald sprawling to the floor. His face turned from red to blue in an instant.Bald now looked utterly disheveled.Seeing this, the other thugs hesitated momentarily and were about to charge. However, the bodyguard then barked at
"Spiritual energy! There's spiritual energy here. The project manager specifically instructed us to take this place," Bald finally confessed, but he quickly looked troubled. "But now it's all gone!"Fred was in a bind. Before last night, he would never have believed in this kind of thing, but now, he was not so sure. If there really was spiritual energy here, his father would definitely go to any lengths to acquire this place. Yet now, he needed help from the shop's owner, so Fred was unsure how to proceed.Seeing Fred's hesitation, Flynn was about to speak up. Just then, Chase's voice finally broke through.The voice was only audible to Flynn."Flynn, your grandfather is gone now, and your strength is still low. I suggest you take the demolition compensation, find a place to train, and return when you're stronger.""But what about the spiritual energy revival?" Flynn was not dumb. This was not the first time Chase had appeared, and Flynn had clearly grown accustomed to Chase's
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
"Pfft, what Saints or Saintesses? They're just titles. They don't have any real skills to speak of!""Exactly. These so-called Saints who suddenly emerged probably got their status through shady means. The moment they enter a duel, their real strength shows."Amid the chorus of cheers and congratulations, a few jarring voices remained, and one of them was Rania's. Although she was a social climber herself, hearing the crowd ridicule Clive after his defeat made her deeply uncomfortable."That's not true. Clive is not like that," she repeated again and again. Those were the only words she could manage.Several in the crowd recognized her as the one who accepted a gift from Clive earlier and began to mock her."She's the perfect example of a shallow woman. The moment she accepts a gift, she loses her sense of judgment. It's pathetic.""Right? The truth is right in front of her—Clive is just a big show-off with no real skills. And yet she keeps lying to herself.""Hmph. They really a
Later, a certain senior of the sect discovered a secret technique of the Nefarious Spirits.It was to meditate on the image of a divine beast or an overwhelmingly powerful immortal being the embodiment of one's soul. As the level of visualization deepened, one's spiritual soul strength would grow accordingly.This method of cultivating Nefarious Spirits was a hybrid of corpse refining and body cultivation.However, while corpse and body cultivation focused on physical bodies, Nefarious Spirits cultivation trained the intangible—the spiritual consciousness and the mind and soul.After this discovery, they even improved the methods of refining corpses and bodies using it.When refining the body, practitioners would visualize fierce beasts like bears or wolves or celestial warriors, generals, and even gods. The subjects of their visualizations would match with their nature and temperament, making them their own Nefarious Spirits.Fallon's Nefarious Spirit was an ancient giant ape. It
As for Fallon and Carla on the high platform, they clearly sensed that the ominous gaze from above had lessened significantly.Clive, who was facing Chase directly, also felt that his seemingly unstoppable sword strike had suddenly stalled in front of Chase. It could not push forward any further. This shocked him greatly.After all, even when sparring with his own master, he had never encountered this sensation. His master had even praised him for his good fortune after obtaining a peerless sword and for mastering a sword technique unparalleled in this generation. If not for the looming limit of his life span and the need to break through to gain more years, his master would have wanted to cultivate that technique himself.This sword strike, which Clive considered to be the culmination of all his understanding of the sword path, was the most perfect attack he had ever executed since beginning his cultivation journey.Even so, this nameless opponent had forced it back with a single
Tania once attended celebratory events held by other sects, only to encounter top-tier demonic beasts on the road. A brutal battle left her covered in wounds, and she missed the celebration entirely, offending the host.At that time, her master's resentment had already reached its peak.That thousand-year-old wolf demon became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Her master unleashed Emerald Lake Holy Land's most powerful technique—Radiance of Emerald, Eternal Slumber.Heaven and earth changed color the moment it was unleashed. The thousand-year wolf demon gathered all of its cultivation but still could not withstand the strike. It was reduced to ashes in an instant.Tania once thought that the gap between her and her master was not too wide and that she would rightfully inherit the mantle of leadership over Emerald Lake Holy Land within a century.Yet after witnessing that attack, she realized how wrong she had been. From then on, she started training harder and more dilig
