“Phew...”Andrius let out a long breath and relaxed his posture.In response to Kate’s astonishment, he just smiled slightly without making any special remarks.“It’s truly unimaginable.”During this period, Kate had talked with Andrius a lot and knew that he had entered the martial realm less than a month ago. She could not help but be amazed. “Even though you’re independent and don’t belong to any martial forces, you’ve reached a height that ordinary people can hardly achieve in their lifetimes.“In less than a month, you’ve progressed from Martial Lord to Martial King...“Your speed of improvement is simply astonishing and unprecedented. Even geniuses from history might not have progressed as rapidly as you.”He was a genius in every sense of the word!Kate’s face filled with admiration. Her cousin’s achievements were truly deserving of praise!“It’s not that easy.” Andrius shook his head with a wry smile. “I only briefly broke through the cultivation barrier by borrowing y
“With his talent, breaking through to a higher realm is not impossible.”Kate’s concerns were not unfounded.If Norvin had already broken through but had been concealing his strength, he could catch them off guard when they least expected it and achieve victory in a single strike.Wade smiled upon hearing her words. “Kate, the martial realm is as deep as the sea. While advancing in stages can give martial artists stronger inner energy cultivation, it is not the sole determinant of victory.“The excellence of martial arts, exceptional skills, and adaptability in the heat of battle all have a crucial impact on combat.”This explanation not only surprised Kate but also caught Andrius’ attention.Wade continued, “For example, if you master a martial art to the pinnacle, comprehend various techniques, and can effortlessly apply them in battle, there’s still a chance to fight against higher-level opponents.”Kate did not fully understand but was deeply shaken and lost in thought.And
Deep in Mount Albus, the route was filled with rugged mountains and towering cedar trees.Thousand-year-old cedar trees reached toward the heavens. The divine mountains and mystical forests made this place a paradise. It was a completely different scene compared to the vast plains of central Florence.However, Andrius and the others had their minds focused on the Klein family’s treasure.They showed no interest in the boundless beauty of the mountains, not even bothering to glance at it.Time passed, the sun gradually set, and the group arrived at the cave entrance.“It should be here...”The Black Hawk checked the map and entered first.The heads of the four families signaled their teams and followed closely.The Medicine Sect and Andrius did not lag behind either.Soon, the group paused.The Black Hawk led everyone through the cave and searched around, but they found no trace of any treasure.The four great families were unwilling to accept this and tried tapping on walls,
“Then, I’m coming in!”Kate lifted the tent curtain and walked inside, holding an iron plate with a roasted rabbit on it. The rabbit was crispy on the outside and tender inside, emitting a delicious aroma.“They caught these wild rabbits in Mount Albus. They taste delicious. You should try some!”“Thank you, Kate.”Andrius did not refuse and enjoyed the food with the Black Hawk.The map was still spread out on the ground, and the two continued to study and discuss it while eating.“How is it?” Kate glanced at the map and asked casually, “Have you made any progress?”Andrius chewed the delicious rabbit meat and mumbled, “The map shows that the Klein family’s treasure is in the core area of Mount Albus, which is where we are right now. However, we still can’t find the entrance.”Kate looked at the map curiously. The dense lines on the map made her feel a little overwhelmed.However, she patiently continued to examine it.After a while, she suddenly pointed to a peculiar-looking
After doing this, he poked his head out and realized that no one had noticed him. He quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared from sight.Andrius and the others were completely unaware of this.Everyone was nervously facing off with the wolf pack.Swoosh...Suddenly, a massive Snow Mountain Wolf pounced.The wolf was nearly two meters long and comparable to a tiger. In the blink of an eye, it cast a shadow that covered the distant firelight, shrouding the area in darkness.The chilling wind carried the scent of blood.“Die, beast!”At the front, Tyrell snorted coldly and unleashed a punch.Bam!The next moment, his iron fist struck the wolf’s head.“Awoo...”The Snow Mountain Wolf let out a piercing and miserable howl, flying backward to the ground. Tyrell’s punch shattered more than half of the wolf’s head, causing blood to gush out. It struggled for a moment before it stopped breathing.Such strength...He truly deserved to be the head of one of the ancient mart
As the Medicine Sect Master, he possessed an extreme sensitivity to various scents, which allowed him to notice this detail.“That’s right...” The Black Hawk slapped his forehead and said in realization, “Ancient maps often underwent changes by using methods such as soaking them in water, holding them over a fire, or dripping blood on them. How could I have missed that?”Norvin said hopefully, “Maybe after blood has been added to the map, it is the real treasure map!”“That makes sense!”“Quick, let’s try adding more blood to see what happens.”The group chattered and came up with a plan.“Okay, I’ll go first.”The Black Hawk cut his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the map.Plop.A small blood splatter appeared.One, three, ten seconds passed.Time slowly passed.The blood had begun to coagulate, but there was no change in the map.The others exchanged glances but did not give up.“Let me try.”Norvin also added a drop of his blood and added it to the map.The
Bam!Andrius did not back down and confronted Norvin with a palm strike as well.“Pfft...”Norvin’s strength was overwhelming. It was far beyond what Andrius, a pseudo-Martial King, could compare with. With just one strike, Andrius was sent flying and coughing up blood.All this happened in the blink of an eye.Even Kate could not react in time to stop it. Andrius had already fallen to the ground.“Wolf King!”Seeing Norvin preparing for another strike, the Black Hawk’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately stood in front of Andrius.“Stop!”Wade finally reacted at that moment. He blocked Norvin’s path and said coldly, “Don’t go too far, Norvin.”“Heh...”Norvin’s mouth curled down, radiating a chilling intent, and he lunged forward again.Seeing his persistence, Wade stopped retreating and met the attack with a palm as well.Rumble...The moment the two palms collided, a strong shockwave scattered in all directions, almost lifting the tent. The furnishings
Everyone turned to look and were shocked.While the Swallows and the Medicine Sect were in a standoff, Andrius had brought the map to a nearby torch.“If you dare to mess around...” Andrius had a smile on his face, appearing very relaxed. “Then, I’ll just set the map on fire. I’m already a dead man, so what do I have to fear?”As he spoke, he moved the map toward the torch.Thick black smoke billowed up, and the map was partially charred in an instant.“No!”“Andrius, stop!”“Don’t! The map must not be destroyed—”Damian, Ronald, and Tyrell saw this and were instantly frightened. They quickly shouted at him to stop him.Norvin’s expression also suddenly changed.Killing Andrius would mean nothing to the Swallows. There would be no impact.However, destroying the treasure map would ruin their ambitions and efforts over many years, turning them all to ashes!Tyrell was the first to step forward, leading the members of the Anders to stand with the Medicine Sect. He frowned and
