Chapter 9

Author: Coffee’s Tea
Vroom…

The Mustang roared to life once again and sprinted towards the slopes.

As the car approached the slopes, Axel stepped on the brakes, but it had been tampered with and was not working.

Axel’s face turned pale as his car sprinted off the slopes.

Bang!

The tumbling and crashing echoed across the entire circuit.

Those who heard and saw the car drive off the slopes were horrified.

They shouted, “Call 911!”

Later that night, Luna and Halle exited the hospital with frosty looks on their faces.

Luna got into her car with Halle while Andrius got into the rear seat.

After the car left the hospital, Luna stared into the rearview mirror and saw Andrius intently looking at his phone.

Irritated by his frivolous attitude, she bellowed, “Andrius, go apologize to Axel tomorrow.”

“Why?” Andrius was confused by her request.

Luna continued coldly, “Because you tampered with the Mustang’s brakes and caused Axel’s crash.”

“The brakes were already broken when I got the Mustang,” Andrius said with a shrug.

Halle immediately realized what must have happened during the race.

Given that Andrius had raced through the finishing line and stopped the Mustang using a 360-degree drift, plus the fact that Axel had crashed because of the brakes, it could only mean that Andrius was not lying!

The car’s brakes were already faulty when he got it!

That was why he drifted 360 degrees to decelerate the car to a stop by maximizing the friction.

A poor guy who grew up in the countryside that could speak fluent French and had amazing driving skills?

Something felt amiss. Was he really who he claimed he was?

Luna, on the other hand, was not as familiar with racing as Halle, hence she had no idea what really happened. She frowned when she heard Andrius’s explanation. “Andrius, you don’t even know how to lie. If you didn’t tamper with the brakes, how did you get out of the car unscathed?”

Andrius shrugged. “I was able to get out of the car with broken brakes because of my skills. It has nothing to do with that guy not being able to do the same.”

“You…”

Andrius’s casual answer fueled Luna’s anger.

Screech!

The car screeched to a sudden stop by the road.

“Get out of my car!” Luna shouted.

The door opened and Andrius was ditched beside the road.

Watching the car speed out of his sight, Andrius frowned and sighed. The honorable Wolf King was threatened, challenged, and mistreated again and again.

No matter how much patience he had, he ran out of it. He took several deep breaths to suppress his anger.

Since Master Crestfall was his master’s savior, he decided not to be calculative with the short-tempered Luna. With the thought in mind, he walked back to Dream’s Waterfront.

Right after he made a turn into a junction, he ran into a familiar figure.

Dr. Artemis!

The doctor was beside a minivan with many boxes by his side.

Dr. Artemis spotted Andrius as well. Surprised, he cried, “Young man, what are the odds of running into you here?”

“I’m just passing by.” Andrius walked closer to Dr. Artemis. He picked up a familiar scent from the boxes on the ground. “Dr. Artemis, are these iodine and antibiotics?”

“Oh! You are really good! You can tell the types of medicine by smelling them? I’m impressed!

“You’re right. These are iodine and antibiotics that I have to deliver to the Recovery Camp.”

“Recovery Camp?” Andrius was slightly surprised.

Dr. Artemis said, “The citizens of Sumeria are patriotic, so many volunteered to serve the army. However, the number of discharged soldiers due to injuries is also on the rise. The local government set up a place called the Recovery Camp to take care of the discharged injured soldiers.

“Since the number is on the rise, the demand for medicines has increased. These medicines are actually donations from my clinic to the Recovery Camp.

“I’ve actually asked several workers to help me transport them, but they claimed the boxes were too heavy and they quit,” Dr. Artemis grumbled.

“Let me help.”

“Young man, the boxes are really heavy. Let me…”

“It’s okay.”

Andrius went over and picked the boxes up with ease.

Dr. Andrius was shocked.

The boxes were indeed heavy. Even two grown men struggled to carry a single box around, but Andrius picked up a box with each hand.

In less than two minutes, all the boxes were moved into the minivan.

Andrius then hitched a ride to the Recovery Camp which was located in the Western suburbs. The institute was actually a simple building with barely any infrastructure. The crude state of the institute gave Andrius a bitter feeling.

Soldiers served the country with their lives, yet they were sent to such a place after they were wounded and discharged.

Andrius helped Dr. Artemis move the boxes of medicine into the Recovery Camp.

Amongst the doctors who were treating injured men was a cute young girl, who stood out from the rest. The girl was reapplying medicine on an amputee.

After she was done, Dr. Artemis called out to her, “Lyra.”

“Grandpa!” the girl answered cheerfully and ran over to Dr. Artemis. When she spotted Andrius behind Dr. Artemis, she asked, “Grandpa, who is this?”

“Lyra, this is the young doctor whom I told you about before.” Dr. Artemis introduced Andrius to Lyria, “Young man, this is my granddaughter, Lyra Artemis.”

“Oh, so you are the doctor who saved Master Crestfall!” Lyra looked surprised.

When she heard about Andrius from her grandfather, she assumed he would be around thirty to forty years old, but his actual appearance shocked her.

“You are too kind, Ms. Artemis.” Andrius nodded at Lyra before he asked Dr. Artemis, “Doctor, are you volunteering here?”

“I am. These soldiers served our country with their lives, so I just want to do whatever I can to help them.”

“I’m impressed by your spirit, Doctor. You have my respect.”

Andrius bowed at Dr. Artemis and joined him in treating the soldiers. He used his acupuncture skills to help ease the injured soldiers' pain. He helped around until ten o’clock at night before ending the session.

On the way back to the city, Andrius asked, “Dr. Artemis, the soldiers served the country with their lives, but why did the local government put them here after they were discharged?”

“Fret not, Young man.” Dr. Artemis looked slightly exhausted. He sighed and continued, “The mayor has released a proposal to build a proper rehabilitation facility named the Valiant Institute, to take care of the discharged soldiers.

“The project is going through a tender now, so it will take at least a year and a half before completion. The two best candidates to win the bid for the project are the Crestfalls' New Moon Corporation and the Stormbrews’ Castlerock Corporation. If you compare the two companies’ financial status and execution, Castlerock Corporation is likely to win the bid.

“But…” A little pause later, Dr. Artemis continued, “I personally want the New Moon Corporation to take the project.”

“Why?” Andrius asked.

“The Stormbrews’ Castlerock Corporation simply views this project as a profitable expansion, but the Crestfalls' New Moon Corporation is different.

“Master Crestfall is also a veteran, and the reason why he wants to take on the project is to take care of his fellow comrades after being discharged.”

Andrius finally understood the situation. It seemed like he had to meet Marcus, the mayor, and persuade him to give the project to the Crestfalls.

    As the minivan drove into Dream’s Waterfront, Andrius got out. Lyra waved at Andrius. “Bye. If you have the time, please visit my grandpa’s clinic. I’ll make you tea.” “Of course.” He arrived in front of Luna's door. Right before he knocked on it, the door opened. Luna pulled a long face and stared at Andrius, saying, “I have a curfew here. If you had been five minutes later, you would've been sleeping outside.” “It’s my first time in Sumeria, so I thought I would have a walk around the city,” Andrius said. “Come in.” Luna sat on the couch, crossing her slender and fair legs. Andrius was slightly stunned by the alluring scene. “Get up early tomorrow and follow me to my grandfather’s place. When we are there, I call the shots. You have no right and are in no position to say anything. Understand?” Luna warned Andrius sternly. “Mm-hmm,” Andrius simply hummed a reply. Luna got up and went upstairs. Right after she locked the door of her room, she received a call from he

    Luna wound down the window and shouted at the minivans, “What is wrong with you people…” Before she could finish, the two minivans' doors opened, and eight masked men came out. Athena’s first response was to wind up the window. She then said to Luna, “Ms. Crestfall, stay in the car. Don’t come out.” Athena got out of the car and confronted the masked men. The leading masked man wielded a dagger, waving it in front of Athena. “Lady, our target is the girl in the car. If you don’t want to get hurt, leave.” “You and your little ragtag group?” Athena scanned them and curled her lips into a scornful grin. “Hmph! Don’t blame us!” The man thrust his dagger forward, aiming it at Athena’s weak point. Luna screamed out of shock at the scene. In the face of danger, she lost her usual calm and her pitch for a slightly higher one. It was eight versus one, and Athena was the underdog. Luna suddenly realized that Andrius was in the car. She cried, “Andrius, go down and help!” An

    Luna glared at Andrius. She said in a vexed tone, “Andrius, you are just a nobody from the countryside. Can you stop talking nonsense?” Andrius drew a blank for a while before saying helplessly, “I’m telling the truth.” “Heh!” Luna scoffed before she went upstairs. After she witnessed Andrius’ cowardice earlier, the remaining fondness she had for him disappeared. To her, speaking a word to him was a waste of time. In the afternoon, Luna asked Halle out instead of going to the office. Halle had a wide connection in many different industries, so Luna decided to ask her for help. Andrius also went out. He went to Crestfall Manor to look for Master Crestfall and ask for a Revolution Memorial Medal. Master Crestfall was a veteran, so he had a medal that symbolized the revolution that he fought for. The medal would be the key to helping the Crestfalls win the Valiant Institute project! After getting the medal from Master Crestfall, Andrius left Crestfall Manor. He then called

    Luna had already returned home when she received Halle’s call. “Halle? What’s the matter?” “Luna, have you really done a background check on Andrius?” she asked. “I did!” The mention of Andrius’ name disgusted Luna. “He’s some poor guy growing up in the countryside.” “But today, I saw him…” “Hold on!” Before Halle could finish, Luna interrupted her and said, “Axel has agreed to help us. I’m in a good mood now, so please don’t talk to me about him. It will ruin my day.” “Luna…” “Halle, I’m going to choose the evening gown for the event. I’ll talk to you later.” Luna then hung up the phone. When Andrius returned, Luna had already selected her gown and was doing a facial in the living room. As soon as she saw Andrius through the door, she frowned. She got up and went upstairs without saying a word. …On the next day, Luna woke up early in the morning to prepare the present for Mayor Freely. Andrius wanted to tell her that he had given a present to Marcus on behalf

    Axel was stunned. He arrogantly shouted, “What the hell are you doing?” “Are you Axel Cloverfield?” “Yes, I am.” “You are prohibited from entering the venue,” said the soldier. The situation took a drastic turn. A moment ago, he was greeted by a soldier’s salutation, but now he was being prohibited from entering. He couldn’t wrap his head around the situation. Embarrassed, Axel turned to Luna and said, “Hold on, Luna. I’ll deal with this.” He then looked at the soldier and bellowed, “I know your superior. All I need to do is make a call, and you won’t be able to stay in this city anymore!” Thud! The soldier stuck the barrel of his gun at Axel’s forehead and said, “I said, you are prohibited from entering. Can you understand human language?” With a gun at his forehead, Axel broke out in a cold sweat, but if he stepped back, he would be embarrassed for life, especially in front of Luna. The thought gave him enough courage to argue back. “Shoot me if you have the ner

    Seeing Andrius beside Mayor Freely, Luna drew a blank in surprise. A moment ago, she wished for her man to be a respected figure and not someone as poor as Andrius. Now, the respected man on stage turned out to be the man whom she looked down upon! Master Crestfall was stunned when he saw Andrius on stage. Harry reacted the same. His lips twitched helplessly as his heart skipped a beat. “How? Why is it him? He’s just a poor guy from the countryside. How did he end up as Mayor Freely’s benefactor? Have I underestimated him?” …Everyone fixed their eyes on Andrius on stage, trying to keep his face in mind. If he could be the mayor’s benefactor at such a young age, he must be a capable man. If they could win his attention, it would definitely benefit their families. Andrius felt uncomfortable having that many eyes on himself. Countless nobles and royalties tried to invite the Wolf King to their events or parties. Once, there was an oil dealer from Saudi Algoria who offe

    The dark figure was none other than Noir. It had only been half a minute since his emergence to the men passing out cold. “Noir, run checks on this Dragon Gang.” “Yes, sir.” Noir blended into the shadows and disappeared swiftly. Andrius darted a glance at the unconscious men on the ground before he headed out of the village. As soon as he stepped out of the alleyway, he heard sirens. Three police cruisers came in and stopped in the center of the urban village. A female officer came out of one of the police cruisers. She had a small face but a valiant expression. Her ponytail brought out her clean and strict demeanor. However, she wore a frosty look all the time. “Freeze!” The female officer pulled and pointed her gun at Andrius. She then said to her colleagues, “Go in and have a look.” The other officers dashed into the alleyway and then came back with heavy expressions. “Madam, there are a few unconscious and injured men inside.” “Call an ambulance.” “The rest,

    However, Marcus decided not to reveal Andrius’ true identity. The reason was simple. His daughter, Noelle, had come back from abroad, and her looks rivaled Luna’s. Three to four months later when Luna officially announced her divorce, Marcus would seize the chance to introduce his daughter to Andrius. The Wolf King was busy defending the Western Frontline, so there were only so many women around him. Marcus believed his plan had a high chance of success. Moreover, his daughter always admired a strong and rigid soldier, so the Wolf King would be the perfect man for her. With that in mind, Marcus simply came up with an excuse. “When I was serving at Western Frontline, I got shot and hid in the mountains. It was Andy who saved me.” “I see.” Luna nodded. She added, “So, you gave us the project because you want to thank Andrius?” “Not entirely true.” Marcus reached into his pocket and revealed a medal in his hand. “I gave you the project because of this. Andy gave me a v

    Noir immediately checked the life token.It was unbroken!This meant that Andrius was still alive, and he must have ascended to the Divine Realm.Noir was relieved.Remembering his responsibility to protect Luna, he exchanged a glance with Halle, Kate, and the others before quietly leaving.Not long after, a group arrived at the Immortal Demon Palace and began their cultivation, striving to ascend to the Divine Realm as soon as possible.In an ancient and desolate location, there were grand halls, statues of fierce beasts that still seemed lifelike despite the passage of time, sky-piercing pillars, and a sea of clouds...Everything looked majestic and awe-inspiring.However, it was eerily silent, like a dead land devoid of life.Until...Whoosh!A ray of light suddenly shot from the distance, moving at an unimaginable speed and entering the soul control orb at the center of the great hall.Then, a soul apparition started to form.It was none other than Andrius.He looked

    Andrius’ condition was pretty bad.He thought that with his current realm and strength, he could handle the divine tribulation and successfully ascend to the Divine Realm.However, the strength of the divine tribulation far exceeded his expectations.He seemed to have easily dealt with the first strike.In reality, the moment the divine lightning struck his palm, the destructive force within it surged through his meridians and directly attacked his soul.As expected of the divine tribulation.So, Andrius did not dare to be careless anymore and immediately gathered his immortal essence to resist.However, that was just the beginning.Each divine bolt was stronger than the last, and their deafening sounds and unstoppable destructive power left Andrius in agony.The tribulation cloud showed no signs of dissipating, too. Instead, it grew even darker and heavier, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.Rumble—Crackle—The thunder rumbled relentlessly, and the li

    If his true form was destroyed and his soul dispersed, the life token would shatter.That would be how Noir and the others would know about his situation.For the rest of his time, since short-term improvements were difficult at his level, he did not cultivate. However, Andrius meditated every day to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.Soon, three months passed.Sensing the increasingly intense presence of the tribulation, Andrius did not hide anymore and removed the effect of the Primordial Unity Pearl that was concealing his aura.Whoosh...An immense power surged forth, and massive tribulation clouds soon formed in the sky.At that moment, Andrius sat on top of a desolate mountain.A large crowd had gathered in the distance.It had been many years since anyone in the Immortal Realm had attempted the divine tribulation. Furthermore, Andrius had deliberately invited many people to witness the event to broaden the influence of the Lunarius Alliance.“Hiss... As expected of

    Andrius chuckled. “It’s not that serious. I already have a plan.”“Tell me, Andy.”“I have an extraordinary treasure. The treasure itself contains its own independent space filled with countless treasures and living beings. Furthermore, the spiritual energy inside is ten, a hundred times richer than the outside world. I plan to entrust this treasure to you. Carve out a secluded area within it for Luna to recover.”Andrius slowly explained.The extraordinary treasure he spoke of was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace.With his current strength, crossing the divine tribulation would not be a problem.The Immortal Demon Palace was an independent realm constructed by the beings of the Divine Realm. Even figures like Cedric, the Blood Demon King, the Hidden Monarch, and the others had no choice but to follow its rules.Hiding Luna inside would ensure her safety.Of course, there was a small problem.

    It was as if the dragon soul had always been part of his body.“How strange...”Andrius muttered to himself and continued to observe.Nothing happened.The dragon soul quickly integrated into his own without any further events.It only gave Andrius a vague sense of completeness, like something had filled a gap within him.It was a mysterious and eerie feeling.Swoosh...After the dragon soul left, the massive dragon bones collapsed, turning into a pile of white ash on the ground.It was clear that the dragon bones were preserved until now solely because of the dragon soul’s presence.“Forget it.”Seeing that the matter was settled, Andrius did not dwell on it.After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, he steadied himself, walked outside, and began thinking about his next move.“Andy!”“Wolf King!”“Andrius!”As soon as they saw Andrius, Noir, Halle, Kate, and the others rushed to him.While Andrius was absorbing the dragon soul, Noir had filled them in on the

    Whoosh...Just as Andrius sent a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, an apparition suddenly emerged from the dragon bones.It was vague and ethereal, yet exuded a powerful aura.Gradually, it took the shape of a dragon.Andrius raised his brows. He was not surprised, though, let alone afraid.He looked at the dragon apparition, who looked back at him.Soon, the dragon apparition spoke in confusion, “Young man, I smell an extraordinary aura on you.”Smell...Many thoughts flashed through Andrius’ mind.What could a dragon find extraordinary? Perhaps it was the scent of the Divine Realm or the Void Thunder Dragon. Could it be the Divine Realm phoenix?The next second, the dragon asked, “Are you a descendant of the phoenix?”Andrius casually raised his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips. It was the phoenix’s true flame.“I knew it!”The dragon apparition trembled slightly.Then, its enormous eyes showed a trace of sorrow.Andrius frowned, sensing some

    The remaining power of Andrius’ punch slammed into the man’s head viciously, like a hammer smashing a watermelon, splattering everywhere.“Hiss—”The captured cultivators could not help but gasp.Wow.Who was this guy? He was able to kill a mid-stage Aureate Immortal in just a single punch. Was he even human?Even Halle, Kate, and the others were dumbfounded.It had not been long since they last saw him, but he had already grown to be this powerful. It was completely unbelievable.The members of Dragon Immortal Sect were shocked and terrified.He was too strong!Even the sect leader was killed in one punch. They would be serving themselves up on a silver platter.At that moment, everyone kneeled.“Please have mercy!”“Please spare us.”It was the sect leader who ordered us to do this...”They groveled repeatedly, banging their heads until they bled. Though they did not dare stop.What was begging as long as they could live?However, Andrius’ words threw them into despai

    “Andrius!”“Wolf King!”The group was instantly overjoyed when they saw Andrius.They soon snapped back to their senses, though. This was the heart of Dragon Immortal Sect, and they were in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony.“Run!”“Andrius, leave now. Don’t worry about us!”“That’s right. Just avenge us later!”They knew Andrius was strong, but they did not know how strong.After all, Dragon Immortal Sect was a powerful sect, and the sect leader and Grand Elder were all gathered in the hall.No matter how powerful Andrius was, he could not face off against so many opponents.Andrius could not help but laugh.However, before he could explain, Noir said solemnly, “Don’t worry. With Andy’s current strength, wiping them out will be as easy as slaughtering chickens.”Halle, Kate, and the others were stunned.Noir was extremely confident. Could Andrius have really become a great power in the Immortal Realm?While they were still in doubt...“It’s him!”The disciples immed

They quickly restrained Halle and the others.Of course, they were not the only sacrifices.There were many other cultivators, even some powerful fiends and Demon Kings.“Let’s start!”In the center of the altar, Bernard saw that everyone was in place and gave the order.“Understood!”Everyone started to move.The disciples restrained Halle and the others firmly.The 108 core and elite disciples began channeling immortal essence, feeding it into Bernard’s body.In an instant, Bernard grew into a towering figure like a giant.It was one of his techniques.As he continuously chanted, the dragon bones in the center of the altar trembled slightly.It was clear he was trying to awaken the dragon.“No, I don’t want to die.”“You beasts!
