After the brief small talk, Antony eagerly asked Zayn about his experience during this period of time. Zayn did not try to hide anything and narrated everything in detail. He hid the part about Alice, of course. It was unnecessary to tell Antony about his suitress. Still, when he was done listening, Antony said with a smile, “Zayn, I heard that you have a close relationship with Alice from Yingland. I bet he role as the crown princess is all from your contribution.”Zayn did not expect that Antony would be concerned with a side story like that. He chuckled in embarrassment and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. We’re just friends.”“Just friends? I think there’s more to this than meets the eye. I heard that Alice has fallen head over heels in love with you.”Zayn rubbed his nose, at a loss for words. Antony knew exactly when to stop and did not continue to tease Zayn anymore. He asked Zayn about his encounter in Murica, wanting to find out about that the most. Zayn immediately nar
Zayn then sensed something and looked to the back. He immediately found a familiar figure walking into the room from the outside. “Antony has sacrificed far too much for this country, so it’s time for him to get a good rest too.”It was Paxton. He walked out lightly in a graceful, elegant manner. Zayn stood up and greeted him. “Mr. Brookes.”Paxton nodded. His gaze shifted away from Antony to Zayn without attempting to conceal his admiration for the younger man. He said with a smile, “Thank you for the compliment, sir.”They walked out of the room together and strolled through the backyard. Zayn went straight to the point and asked what he wanted to know, “Mr. Brookes, why haven’t I reached the invincibilis state after all this time?”His question was incomplete. How could one reach the invincibilis state so easily?There were only a few invincibilis fighters in total in the whole world. Even so, Paxton understood Zayn’s confusion very well. He said nonchalantly, “I don’t
In reality, he was a fighter, but he assumed that, just as scientists claimed, the world was composed of atoms and that there were four kinds of forces. On the other hand, Paxton was telling him that it was possible for the world to be something else because if they were to follow the teachings of science alone, fighters like them could not be possible. This was before supreme powerhouses like the invincibility fighters were taken into account. He analyzed it in his mind meticulously because he realized that it made sense. After absorbing the knowledge, Zayn asked a crucial question, “Since there are two schools, which school is right?”Paxton shook his head and said, “There’s no definite answer at the moment.”Zayn expressed his confusion, and Paxton continued to say, “The science school can’t explain the existence of gravitational force, the fighter school can’t explain the existence of the soul. It’s possible that both of these schools are correct and they’re just two diff
Zayn the. discussed many things with Paxton including their countermeasures and methods to handle the enemy when the club’s world invaded the common world. Paxton also voiced his understanding and opinion. All in all, Zayn could tell from his take that he did not have much hope for the upcoming war. It was because the club’s world was too strong and had too many powerhouses. Its overall capacity was much greater than the common world’s. The common world was only superior in terms of its technology and nuclear weapons. However, nuclear weapons were not a huge threat to the clubs because the club’s world was not in a fixed location. Indeed, if nuclear weapons were used, it would do more harm to the common world. Hence, the best method for the common world was to fight against the club’s world without using nuclear weapons. Many people would die if such weapons were used. Zayn was a pessimist, but at the thought of how the people would be plunged into misery and suffering, h
Paxton thought of this as well. He looked at Zayn emotionally and said, “As a matter of fact, you’re the most gifted martial artist of this generation, Zayn. I remember that you were just a master fighter when I first met you, yet you’ve already grown to this extent so fast. Not even Adam was a match for you, and I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.”Zayn smiled. His gaze showed that he was reminiscing about the past. He had indeed progressed so quickly in a few years, leaving his peers far behind him like he was on a rocket!“It’s mainly due to lucky opportunities. I consumed a top-grade medicine when I was still an acquired fighter and I consumed Aeos Karpos when I was a Tier-4 master fighter. Then, I was infused with Rheasia’s power when I was a perfect-class master fighter. There were way too many coincidences that allowed me to be who I am today,” said Zayn emotionally. He had way too many fortuitous encounters indeed. Otherwise, it was utterly impossi
Zayn’s expression was rather peculiar when he heard that. Could it be that Paxton’s fellow trainee held a grudge toward Adam?Yet, he had already killed Adam, Paxton’s fellow trainee would probably be disappointed. Moreover, the event of him killing Adam was broadcasted across the world and all fighters had seen it. Could it be that Paxton’s fellow trainee was unaware of that?On the other hand, Paxton let out a bitter chuckle and said, “I’m afraid that there’s no need for you to do that anymore.”Paxton’s fellow trainee was stunned for a moment upon hearing that. He asked, “What do you mean? Could it be that you’re not in support of me killing Adam? Or do you think that I’m no match for Adam?”He sounded very disgruntled when he said that. He was staring straight at Paxton. “That’s not what I mean.” Paxton shook his head and said, “Adam is already dead.”“What?”Paxton’s fellow trainee had a drastic change of emotions when he heard that. His eyes widened instantly and he was
However, Paxton’s fellow trainee was so dull that he could not refrain himself anymore. At last, Paxton’s fellow trainee looked at Zayn upon hearing Zayn’s remark. He sized up Zayn meticulously and discovered that Zayn looked very ordinary so he shook his head and said, “I don’t go on the internet.”Then, he ignored Zayn and said to Paxton, “Please tell me the truth, is Adam still alive?”Paxton did not beat about the bush after seeing Zayn rolling his eyes. He pointed at Zayn and said, “He’s the man who killed Adam, Zayn Larson. He’s the most powerful genius in Rheasia now.”“What?”Paxton’s fellow trainee had a huge reaction this time and even his voice was a few times louder. Zayn found his voice to be irritating upon hearing it. It had already been a few times since Paxton’s fellow trainee said the word ‘what’. Zayn could not bring himself to interrupt the conversation anymore. Zayn could not be bothered to hide anymore since it was not supposed to be a secret. He nodded
Zayn was used to being involved in a situation like this and he could not be bothered to lower himself to the level of Paxton’s fellow trainee either. Next, Zayn learned from Paxton’s conversation that his fellow trainee’s name was Bjorn Trygg and he was 35 years old this year. He was at the breakthrough point of invincibilis state and it was the reason why he left the mountains to Shangri-la. He was going there so he could achieve a breakthrough in his training to invincibilis state. After chatting with Paxton for a long time, Zayn did not continue to stay anymore after learning about the things he wished to learn. There were only a few days left until the opening to Shangri-la. He was planning on visiting Sicut In Caelo during this period of time. Speaking of which, he had never been back there since he joined the organization and saved his mother. He was the Southern Highlord of Sicut In Caelo now and he felt rather embarrassed about that. Zayn had always respected but kep
