With a resounding "thud", the head of Mighty Dragon Academy finally collapsed. His body fell flat on the ground, and his face was pressed tightly against the dirt.This was the first time he had ever felt such humiliation! The disciples from the Mighty Dragon Academy surrounded them, all looking at their mentor with disappointment and helplessness.Their mentor wasn't able to beat Woody either! Before this, they'd all thought that their mentor was invincible. However, reality showed that when facing someone stronger, their mentor not only stood no chance, but he'd also caved under pressure.Now, only Mark was still holding on. But even he barely managed to stay upright.At that moment, the head of the Mighty Dragon Academy realized why Bosco held Mark in such high regard—there was a good reason for it.He himself had already fallen, but Mark was still standing tall. Just this alone showed that he was no match for Mark."Young man, I order you to stop immediately!" Mark demand
"It seems like we've met our match this time," the Limitless Martial Arts Academy head said with a complicated expression."The Harringtons have really run into a tough man. This Woody person is far more powerful than a grandmaster. He might even be a high-level grandmaster!" the head of Mighty Dragon Academy said, shocked.The three academy heads had joined forces and led their elite apprentices to set up an ambush. They'd been sure that they would win! But in the end, they were destroyed by Woody with just one hand. Three grandmasters and over a hundred apprentices couldn't even touch a single hair on Woody. Some were injured and some were dead, and there were even some of them who were crippled. The result of this battle was disheartening and left everyone with a sense of despair and hopelessness.…The first rays of dawn had broken through the clouds, and yawns filled the air. At the Schubert Manor, Otto had stayed up all night. He was tense and full of worry. Throu
"So, Mr. Henderson is there!" Rudolf was thrilled to hear that Woody was with Penny.That was excellent news!He couldn't help but think if Penny could win Woody over, he would be the grandfather-in-law of the Majestic Ruler.The thought of this filled Rudolf with joy. He even started picturing how he would dress, what expression and postures he would have when he accepted congratulatory messages from guests at the wedding.Suddenly, a thought came to mind, and Rudolf asked quickly, "Who's Sherry?" Penny replied, "She's my best friend. She's been to our house a few times.""Really?" Rudolf frowned. He couldn't seem to remember a "Sherry" at all. Then, Penny said, "I remember why. Every time she came over, she went straight to me. That's probably why you don't remember her.""Oh, I see!" Rudolf frowned again. So, there was a third wheel! A big third wheel! Penny was with Woody. So, why was Sherry there? How could she be so clueless? With a third wheel around, it'd be ver
Everyone else might've been clueless as to why breakfast was so lavish, but as Rudolf's son, Otto knew what he was up to.Rudolf wasn't just humble, he was frugal too. It was so much so that the younger generation even felt that he was stingy.However, Rudolf wasn't just frugal himself. In fact, he ordered the rest of the family to behave the same too.Their meals typically consisted of congee and pickled vegetables. For balanced nutrition, breakfast would include eggs and milk. But that was the only thing that differentiated their breakfast from their other meals. They had maintained this routine every day for over a decade.So, what was going on today? The variety of dishes wasn't even something that was seen during celebrations. Yet today, everything was here.Otto rubbed his eyes, wondering if he'd woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Did Rudolf know that they were all on edge last night? Did he decide to reward them for their worries?Upon thinking of this, Otto's fa
"You're a troublemaker! The Schuberts don't welcome you. Why don't you get out of here?" Otto was genuinely furious. His eyes were wide with anger as he loudly berated Woody."Otto Schubert, have you lost your mind?" Penny snapped back, even calling her father by his full name. "It was Grandpa who invited Woody over for breakfast. How could you yell like that? Is this how you treat guests?"After everything that had happened last night, Penny was incredibly disappointed in Otto. If things had gone Otto's way, he would've ordered Penny to swallow her pride and act as if nothing had happened. Then, not only would she have gotten beaten up, but she would've also been branded a thief!Only Woody believed in her innocence and even stood up for her. He taught Celeste a lesson and allowed Penny to vent her anger.Compared to the average stranger, her father was even less caring! Even Sherry had shown more support than her own father had. And when it came to Woody, the difference betwe
"Otto, I feel nothing but shame and disgrace for having raised a son like you! I feel terribly ashamed!" Otto was furious and yelled in response, "It was obviously Penny's fault! There are witnesses and evidence. "It's irrefutable!""You're being nonsensical!" Rudolf snapped. "How could you be so blind as to not trust your own daughter? Penny has been obedient and well-behaved ever since she was a child. She would never steal! It's obvious that she was framed!"After hearing this, Penny felt a warmth rise in her heart. Under normal circumstances, she would've been moved to tears. In her whole family, only her grandfather believed in her. But last night, someone else had unconditionally supported her even more than Rudolf had.Due to that, Rudolf's trust wasn't as significant anymore. But besides trusting Penny, Rudolf believed Woody even more.Even someone like the Majestic Ruler had come out to personally avenge Penny. What could this mean? Obviously, it was enough to
"You're too kind, Mr. Schubert. Penny and I have been friends ever since we were little. It's only expected for us to help each other in times of need!"Faced with Rudolf's gratitude, Sherry felt flattered.She had come from an ordinary family and wouldn't have had the chance to befriend someone like Penny if the Schuberts had valued Penny a little more.To Sherry, the Schuberts were even more untouchable."You're such a thoughtful child, just like Penny!" Rudolf said with a smile. "You must come by more often in the future. "I'm old and like to be around you young people. This way, I can maintain a youthful mindset and stay in touch with the world!"He continued, "In the future, you can stay with Penny in the main living quarters. The guest rooms have everything you need.""Thank you, Mr. Schubert!" Sherry quickly replied.Thrilled by Sherry's response, he hurriedly led them to their seats, and the four of them chatted and ate heartily. Meanwhile, Otto couldn't help but fee
In reality, Celeste didn't like Tomas at all. It was all just a one-sided dream of Tomas'! He hoped to climb the social ladder by associating with the Harringtons. However, Celeste was just as focused on finding someone more powerful than her family. After all, people naturally aspired to grow their status.Hence, Celeste wouldn't even consider marrying Tomas. But Tomas wasn't stupid. He knew that if he outright refused Otto's request, Otto would just seek help elsewhere.Plus, there was a chance he might succeed in getting help! That must never happen.Tomas decided to calm Otto down. He said, "I can try, but I can't guarantee whether or not Ms. Harrington would forgive you."But don't worry, Mr. Schubert. I'll try my best to make it happen." He continued, "After all, it was Woody who caused the trouble. The Schubert family was just a bystander. I believe Ms. Harrington would understand this."Otto was relieved. "That's great to hear! I trust that you'll be able to conv
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
