Back on his home planet, Bjorn breathed Earth’s air. He sensed the familiar surroundings and gravitational force. It was as if he had been reborn. In truth, it had not been long since he entered Shangri-la, but it felt like he had been gone for ages. All that he experienced there left a profound impression on his mind, and he was sure he would never forget it for the rest of his life!He remembered Zayn’s terrifying abilities very well. He admired and respected the man more than anything else, but he also felt deeply inferior.He was once a very proud and arrogant man. He had assumed that he had the most potential and would become the most powerful man in the world with time. Instead, he had abandoned such beliefs!Zayn was like a slap in his face. Meeting him showed Bjorn that no matter how perfect things seemed, there was always something, or someone, better.Compared to Zayn, he was nothing but an amateur. They were on two completely different levels!He cracked a smile w
Next, Bjorn swiftly narrated the incidents that took place in Shangri-la to Paxton. He talked about how nothing dangerous happened in the first week and how the natives from some tribes he encountered were not so powerful. In the second week, he walked out of the forest and arrived at the area around a fortified city. It was there that he encountered native warriors who were as strong as fighters half a step away from the invincibilis state. The native powerhouses attacked him, and if not for his quick reaction and superior fighting skills, they would have killed him.Paxton was astonished to hear that and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect that Shangri-la could have powerhouses half a step away from the invincibilis state after all these years. That’s impressive! When the people of our generation entered Shangri-la, it was very rare to encounter master fighters there.”Bjorn replied emotionally, “Yes. The natives there have already begun to become civilized, and they’re learning about
In the past, Bjorn would certainly refute and express his contempt when he heard that remark. In his eyes, not anyone could uphold the title of most powerful man in the world!There were way too many powerhouses on Earth. Though few were known to the public, there were many more formidable powerhouses in hiding. They were known as the old powerhouses!After getting acquainted with Zayn and witnessing his terrifying power firsthand, Bjorn had come to agree with Paxton’s statement. He nodded and said, “You’re right. Zayn is really something. If he has enough time, he will certainly stand a chance of becoming the most powerful man in the world!”Paxton asked, “Where is he now? Why didn’t he leave with you?”Bjorn replied, “He hasn’t left yet because he’s continuing his search for more fruits.”Paxton’s eyes widened in surprise as said, “He already gathered eight fruits, but he’s still not satisfied?”Paxton said with a bitter smile, “Yes. He still isn’t satisfied after acquiring eig
A car was heading toward the man at full speed, but he allowed the vehicle to crash into him rather than trying to dodge it. Even so, the man remained completely unscathed. Indeed, it was the car that was blasted away by the impact, and the crowd gasped in astonishment. At that point, more people showed up in midair and came crashing down. If they had been normal humans, falling from that height would have been fatal, but it was nothing to invincibilis fighters.In the club’s world, people like Bolt and Gautama returned to their clubs and began to announce their safe return. At the same time, many people were monitoring Shangri-la’s Fruit List and discovered that the vast majority of people had already returned to Earth. Their names on the list turned gray. Still, there were two people whose names remained lit. They were Zayn and King Erik!Beside their names, one of them had the number 8 displayed while the other had the number 7. This signified that Zayn had eight fruits
“If that’s the case, Zayn is quite remarkable. He’s definitely not just bragging, the way the rumors claim.”“That’s right. If he’s capable of surpassing King Erik in Shangri-la, that signifies that he has real skill.”“Moreover, just having real skill is not enough. He’s also blessed enough to be able to surpass King Erik in Shangri-la all this time!”“Could it be that Zayn is the chosen one of this generation too?”“But King Erik is already the chosen one. I thought there can only be one chosen one for each generation. Shouldn’t it be impossible for there to be two?“Perhaps King Erik is not the chosen one of this generation, and Zayn is the real thing? Have you considered that?”“But that can’t be, can it?”Many people discussed this in the club’s world. They lost their contempt for Zayn because they could tell that he had to be genuinely capable if he could surpass King Erik in Shangri-la. They were even more astonished that the topic of the chosen one was up for discussion.
It rose to be the hottest topic of the day straight away and the website almost crashed from the traffic. Soon, many people began to pay the fee. Even at the exorbitant price of ten million dollars, tens of thousands were paying within a day, resulting in a huge amount of money collected.At the same time, people learned that there were many powerhouses in the world, and they were quite wealthy. “It was Zayn Larson, just as expected!”A raging roar was heard coming from Regicide Heofon’s headquarters. They watched the video clip and saw their beloved Javier being beaten to death by Zayn without being able to resist at all. Their hatred for Zayn rose to new heights. Even the top personnel were furious.“This is unacceptable! This is absurd!”The elder flew into a great rage, his pale face going red. Javier was supposed to be the second most powerful man in Regicide Heofon after King Erik, but was beaten to death by Zayn in Shangri-la!Furthermore, the video clip was bei
Under the close watch of everybody else, he said nonchalantly, “Zayn will not leave Shangri-la alive. He will most certainly encounter Erik, and Javier will be avenged.”The rest of the top personnel were instantly relieved upon hearing his words. They calmed down and thought about it. Osiris was right about King Erik and that he would never let Zayn off for sure. At the thought of this, they were eager to watch the live broadcast and find out how King Erik would kill Zayn!The more ruthless King Erik was, the more gratified they would feel!Moreover, they were planning to invade the common world soon. Powerhouses from across the whole world were watching the live broadcast. If King Erik could torment and kill Zayn in a most brutal way, it would be a crushing blow to the common world but an inspiration to the clubs. That would make it much easier for them to invade!They all agreed that Zayn was certainly no match for King Erik. It was not that they were blinded by idolatry. Ki
It had shown up on the internet and was accessible to all. It was also gathering so much money at such speed that people were starting to think it was not natural. They were sure it was run by an unknown organization that exercised control over the place!However, they had no idea which organization it was nor who it belonged to. No one knew the truth, and that was the most terrifying part!Meanwhile, a conversation was taking place in a mysterious place on Earth that not even satellite, radar, or any terrestrial technology could detect. “These Earthers are quite interesting.”“You’re right. They sent out professional technical staff to track us from their countries. It’s a shame that their technology is too far behind.”“I don’t care. Earthers are still weak for now.”“Princess, why did you decide to do this all of a sudden?”“It’s because I’m slightly interested in this Earther named Zayn Larson…”The view switched back to Shangri-la. Zayn, carrying eight fruits with him
