The snake swallowed a lot of earth along with Edgar, or so it thought. Edgar was still inside its mouth, with his swords piercing the roof of the mouth. He channeled electricity into the swords and electrocuted the snake with all the energy he got, and it was enough to make the snake jerk its head and cough a few times.Edgar fell out during one of the coughs and flew quite a distance from the sheer force of the cough. The snake, however, noticed Edgar and was startled first, but anger soon replaced that surprise, and it chased after Edgar again.Edgar was flying through the midair from getting thrown from the snake’s coughing. He was going so fast his face muscles flapped against the wind force, and he couldn’t even see where he was going. But if he were to collide a solid object with such speed, he would break into pieces. Luckily, he was still holding his swords. He covered his swords with drive and kept slashing forth so that instead of going forward, he kept going higher and high

It had been a while since Edgar and Fabby had attended a lecture. The last time they did, Edgar fought with Gabriella and caused quite a commotion.This time, they had to visit as it was mandatory for everyone to visit at least once in the week before the incoming Youth Games if they wanted to participate in the games, with the exception being those who went out on special missions.A core disciple, Leo Baker, himself was explaining to over a thousand disciples in one hall.“There is only one competition in the world where young talents from all around the world gather and compete for glory,” Leo said. “It’s the Youth Games. They happen only once every three years. We are hosting the games this time. Though the official disciples of the Four Great Sects and the representatives of the Twelve Supreme Families automatically qualify, the others will have to go through preliminary competitions to get here. So if you are thinking that it’ll be all fun and giggles, you are gravely mistaken.

Somewhere in the Great Joint, there was a lot of crowd in Hawk Street where there was the Auction Hall and the Trade Hall.Currently, a variety of items were being sold through the Auction Hall and also traded through the Trade Hall thanks to one of the sponsors of the Youth Games visiting the sect early.Many masters of the sect were talking with a particular person dressed in pretty simple clothes and looked humble. He was Lero Rainor, a popular businessman and a world-renowned health expert. He looked to be in his early forties and barely had any gray hair.Edgar visited the Auction Hall because it was along the way from his newly allotted room to the mission hall. The prices of items were hard to figure out as items were auctioned in evergreat coins. As he watched, a mature earth core was bought by an inner disciple for 1450 evergreat coins. Even cool footwear was sold for forty evergreat coins. Full set bonebeast armor was sold for 3820 evergreat coins.Nevertheless, the cost sti

Edgar had been practicing the Iron Fist skill for hours in one of the rented rooms of the practice hall.His elbow and wrist joints were aching. He was feeling nauseous also. On the second day itself, he was already feeling the toxic effect of free iron roaming in his blood. He felt like he was running a fever, but he didn’t stop and kept punching the wooden boards repeatedly with his fists.His hands glowed yellow at times and ended up breaking the wood.“Tsk, the Flame Drive is coming out by itself. I have to stop it somehow.”“The scroll says I need to store the absorbed iron in the bone marrow and use it whenever necessary. The iron in the blood is probably being absorbed by the tissues, which is increasing my body temperature. I need to keep burning that iron content until I learn how to integrate it in the marrow using drive so that it doesn’t negatively affect the organs and the rest of the body.”The scroll detailed that once he managed to reform his marrow, it would start tra

The class just finished. Dusul had already left, but there was a brief silence followed by a big cheer for Marfa.All those who had passed out before weren’t able to see it with their own eyes, but they were still thrilled from hearing what had happened. Many were shocked, and there were a lot that asked him how he did it so that they could do the same.Marfa, however, was just blushing and laughing. His sworn-brother Chica was also quite excited, and they were jumping around in the class like monkeys.There were those who said that it was all because of Patriarch Dusul, and that this was only the second time someone unlocking their drive had happened in the class in the past decade or so. And then there were also those who teased Marfa saying that it was because he received a hug from core disciple Dina.Dina had already left the class and followed the patriarch. Edgar and Fabby congratulated Marfa from a distance, and he gave them a thumbs up in return, which was his way of recogniz
