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
"How was it, master? Are you satisfied?" Fred asked Flynn politely once the men had scrambled out."As long as the demolition goes smoothly, it's fine. This house was entrusted to us, after all. Not offering any demolition compensation would be disrespectful to the souls beneath the ground," Flynn replied, trying to sound profound.He felt a rush of satisfaction, though his words carried a hint of pretense. Inside, he thought, "This just feels amazing."Fred nodded thoughtfully at Flynn's words, then after a moment, he spoke up again, "Master, I called my girlfriend, and she agreed to talk with me. What should I do now?"Even asking Flynn about personal matters like this showed how much Fred trusted Flynn's guidance."Do you know where your girlfriend lives?" Flynn pondered for a moment before responding seriously."No, I don't.""Boss, our finance department has her ID information!" The bodyguard, quick-witted as ever, immediately remembered a useful lead."Oh, right!" Fred ex
Bald's eyes flickered, perhaps recalling his previous beatings. However, he quickly pulled out a document and waved it in the air, shouting with confidence, "The contract's signed! You're still not leaving? Do you want another beating?""Tomorrow! We'll leave tomorrow!" Seeing the document, Flynn made up his mind and stood firm."No! Leave now! And you, little girl, I'll have you under me soon," Bald said, leering at Celeste in a vile manner as his eyes lingered on her sensitive areas.This look enraged Flynn, whose youthful vigor surged."Get lost!" Celeste yelled angrily, puffing out her chest.However, Bald suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Celeste tightly in his arms."Let me go!" Celeste screamed, struggling without success. Bald just grinned wickedly."Brat, this time I've got time for you. I won't stop until I have you," he sneered, his hand already groping Celeste's chest."Help!" Celeste cried out in desperation."You're dead!" Flynn swung his stick, smashing it dow
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
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
