Chapter 35

Author: Celestial Clouds
Adaline was at a loss and did not know what to do.

She anxiously said, “My brother doesn’t know his place, Harry. Please don’t lower yourself to his level. Here, I’ll agree to be your girlfriend!”

Harry's ego blew up upon hearing Adaline’s offer. The more fearful she was, the more it signified that Adrian was a deadbeat. He decided to show due respect to Adaline after she had expressed hers.

Harry waved dismissively. “That won’t do. I won’t consider anyone’s feelings in this matter. Not even yours, Ada. I insist on teaching him a lesson today.”

Harry stood up and walked toward Adrian.

“Great, I agree. Before anything else, let’s give this peasant a good beating,” Stella cheered.

The group chimed in, “We support you, Harry!”

Harry smiled. He was the star of today. Everyone’s focus was on him. He would be humiliated if he allowed this peasant to disrespect him.

“Please, Harry!” Adaline tried to stand in Harry’s way to stop him from hitting Adrian.

“Come here, Ada!” Stella pulled

    Harry was the nephew of the underworld’s Bo “Boxchamp” Lynch. He was renowned in the underworld for his fighting skills.However, he was blown away while Adrian remained completely unscathed.‘What the heck is going on?’Everyone was dumbfounded and they were confused over what just transpired.Harry was puzzled as well. He did not see Adrian move at all, yet he felt a painful sensation in his waist before he was instantly blown away.“What the heck is going on?” Harry was astounded.The rest of the group widened their eyes in shock as well.Kevan quickly helped Harry to his feet. “What the heck happened to you, Harry? How did you get blown away?”Stella was stunned. “Harry, what’s with you?”“I missed, I missed.”Even though Harry could not figure out what had happened, he was right about missing.Everyone was doubtful upon hearing that Harry said he had missed.‘Even if you missed, you couldn’t have missed so badly that you got blown away, right? If you missed, shouldn’t

    ‘Get his uncle to come? Isn’t his uncle the original underworld boxing champion, Bo “Boxchamp” Lynch?’Bo was of high status in the underworld. Even though he was a businessman now, he was still held in high regard.If he were to come, Adrian would be made to pay for his action, right?The group was relieved upon hearing that Harry was getting Bo to come over.Stella chuckled and said, “That deadbeat must have grown strong and brutish from being in the construction profession. That’s why Harry is no match for him. He’s doomed now that Bo is coming.”Yes, that was the only explanation for this situation. She heard that one could get strong by working manual labor jobs at construction sites.Kevan said, “How dare a brat who does manual labor in construction sites for years fight against Harry. We’re in for a good show.”The group smiled because they needed not to be afraid now that Harry was bringing over Bo. After all, Bo was a big shot.“We’re going to get a good show today.”

    In their opinion, not only Adrian would be doomed when Bo got here. Perhaps Adaline and her sister-in-law, Samantha, would become Harry’s playthings too.The men in the group envied Harry. They were jealous because Adaline and her sister-in-law were the rare beauties of Swallowston.Adaline held tightly onto Adrian’s hand as she listened to the conversation around her. She kept her head lowered. Her pearly whites clenched tight as she trembled. She regretted coming here with Stella.Suddenly, a commotion was heard coming from outside the hotel. The group was puzzled and did not know what was happening.Kevan motioned for one of the waiters and asked, “You there, what’s going on outside the hotel? What’s with the chaos and noise?”The waiter explained, “Our company’s president came and notified us to escort out all of the restaurant’s guests earlier. The hotel has also been sealed off. It seems that something bad has happened to the hotel. However, your group is the only exception.

    At last, the waiter opened the door of the private room.Soon afterward, Bo dressed in a suit walked into the room. Behind him was Kevan’s father, Julian. A large group of bodyguards followed them into the room as well.The entire private room was boiling over with excitement because of these people’s arrival. The group was emotional, excited, and anxious.Suddenly, everyone got up from their seats and perked up.Harry said in excitement, “You’re here, Uncle Bo! Uncle Julian, what have I done to deserve someone like you to support me today?“I’m really grateful!”Harry extended his hand proudly toward Kevan’s father.He had not expected to have such a powerful connection. Then, he said excitedly, “Sorry for troubling you today, Uncle Julian. This deadbeat is abominable and you must punish him properly.”Meanwhile, Kevan saw his father, Julian from the other side and called out, “Father.”Julian nodded.On the other hand, Stella said, “Hello, Mr. Zahn. I’m Kevan’s girlfriend,

    Realizing that Adrian still sounded so stubborn, Adaline panicked. “Uncle Julian, Uncle Bo, I’m truly sorry that my brother is so ignorant. Please forgive him and let him go.“He didn’t do it on purpose!”Bo and Julian’s eyes darted toward Adaline in unison. However, it was very apparent that they could not be bothered by her plea.Meanwhile, Bo said, “I don’t care if he did it on purpose or not. My whole life, I’ve thoroughly loathed dealing with trivial matters. Since he’s so stubborn, I’m going to let him experience the consequences of being conceited today.“Don’t touch his legs so that I can break them!” commanded Bo.“Please allow me to make a call before you beat me up,” said Adrian as he smiled.Bo was slightly taken aback. Next to him, Harry sneered and said, “Why? Are you trying to get someone to help you? Hahaha, who’s going to come for someone like you?”Kevan burst out laughing as well.Stella covered her mouth and chuckled incessantly. “That’s really funny. You da

    “Hahaha, it’s the…”Julian burst out laughing when he heard the voice, but before he could even finish his sentence, the arrogant smile on his face crumpled.Even Bo, Kevan, Stella, Harry, and the rest were stupefied, while Skylar just stood there, frozen.At that moment, a young man in a military uniform walked into the room with more than a dozen escorts behind him. He possessed a powerful presence, emanating a terrifying demeanor as though he demanded respect from others around him.This very person was Lucas Jenner, the battle warrior of Dragonshire!To top it all off, this god-like man even had Southrive’s General Summers behind him, hitting Bo and Julian with a double whammy.Neither Bo nor Julian seemed as arrogant as they were before. Instead, they humbled themselves so much as they respectfully said, “Mr. Lucas, it’s such an honor to meet you!”“It really is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lucas!”The atmosphere was so intense that everyone felt their jaws drop. None of them

    Julian was in tears.He knew there was no way he could turn the situation around—not when Lucas was the person with the highest authority throughout all of Dragonshire. Maybe the world even.Meanwhile, Harry was thoroughly stunned, while Kevan and Stella still could not believe what was happening.Everyone was confused as to how the tables had suddenly turned. Even Adaline was covering her mouth from the surprise.Suddenly, Daniel stormed toward Bo and stomped on his leg so hard that a loud “crack” was heard.“Aaaargh!” Bo screamed hysterically from the pain of his leg being broken.In deep despair, he yelled, “Please! Please, sir! Please tell me what I have done so wrong to deserve this?! What have I done?!”‘Why the hell did he cripple me out of nowhere? Why?!’ Bo thought.“All you need to know is that you’ve offended someone that even I wouldn’t dare offend.” Lucas looked toward Bo and then toward someone else as he spoke.Following his gaze, Bo’s mouth hung agape as he rea

    ‘He wants all of us turned into cripples as well?!’All of Adaline’s schoolmates were stunned, but then they realized they had also said some mean stuff to gain Kevan and Harry’s favor. They thought those words would not have any implications. But it was exactly because of this that Adrian announced he wanted all of their legs broken.“Ada… Ada, please… Please don’t do this! We’re all schoolmates, Ada!”No longer having scornful looks on their faces, all of Adaline’s schoolmates only showed helplessness and despair. They knew that Adrian would never spare them, so they began to beg Adaline for mercy.In fact, Adaline herself was stunned by the development of the situation. She looked at Adrian before looking at Lucas, confused as to why any of those things were happening.“Go ahead and do as you’re told, General Daniel.” Lucas gestured.“Yes, sir,” Daniel replied and waved his hand, ordering the escorts to move onward.Everyone was now on the floor after their legs had given way

Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so?

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair.

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained.

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power.

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
