Fred eventually explained himself.Horace realized as well that it would not be easy to get Fred to go easy on him. Fred watched as Horace’s expression slowly turned into one of despair. Fred smiled. He would teach Horace a lesson the man would never forget. Martial prowess alone was not enough to gain one’s loyalty. He needed more than one tactic if he wanted Horace to respect him and be willing to follow him truly. Suddenly, Nohn shouted, “Are you stupid, Dad?”Horace turned around, confused as to why Nohn would say so. Nohn continued, “You're the sect leader of the Shadowflame Sect! People respect and admire you! I’m not so stupid that I don’t know who Fred is, but he’s still just a supreme elder from the Triple Flair Sect! Who gave him the right to cross me?!” Fred raised his brows amusedly. “I thought you had been in seclusion this whole time. I wasn’t aware you had heard of me.” Nohn replied, “Of course! I knew you’d never be an opponent worthy of my time, so I jus

Despite knowing how dangerous Nohn was in feral mode, it did not change how Horace saw his son. Nohn was terrifying in feral mode. He was practically unstoppable, and there was one time the Shadowflame Sect almost got annihilated while he was in feral mode.No one could hold him back, let alone stop him. He was undefeatable.Horace knew how serious the damage could be, so he tried his best to stand and flee. His injuries had him hissing in pain and close to tears, however, so he could hardly walk. Horace yelled, “Fred Hoffman, what are you doing?!” “I’m waiting for him to transform. I want to know what he can do,” Fred said calmly. “I want to leave. Let me go!” Horace said again. “Okay… You have legs, don’t you? It’s not like I’m in your way either. You can go. I won’t stop you,” Fred said calmly.“Yeah, but did you have to kick me so hard? How am I supposed to go like this? Talking alone is taking up all the strength I have left in me," Horace said truthfully. He knew t

Fred had to cherish the guy in front of him. At this moment, however, Nohn simply would not listen to Fred as he did not matter at all to him! "Fred, I want you dead,” he said simply.Fred was initially stunned but was then curious as he asked, "Something's not right with you. You said you wouldn't be clear-minded at first, especially if you've just transformed. So how can you speak coherently again?"Fred’s question left Nohn speechless. "I'm feeling better now. I couldn't control myself in the past like I can now."Fred was surprised and nodded in satisfaction. "So, you were just acting like that in front of me just now?” he asked."What do you mean I was acting?" Nohn was dissatisfied by his question and explained, "I was just testing your skills. Now, I know that you're not my match!"Immediately after he said that, Nohn struck. The man looked as if he had transformed into an invincible war god as he attacked once again! This time, the force behind his attack was even more p

This punch was much stronger and even more forceful than the ones before. Nohn was slammed directly into the wall! The cave that he had originally used for cultivation was now in ruins with hardly any parts of it still intact.Fred looked around and found himself quite satisfied. He then looked down at Nohn with a proud expression."How about it, Nohn? I'll give you another chance. If you surrender, follow my instructions. If not, you'll die,” he matter-of-factly reminded Nohn. Fred had to deal with this guy properly. He was already strong, and he might one day surpass Fred if he were to cultivate some more. Allowing him to remain in this world would undoubtedly spell disaster for Fred. He had to make Nohn submit to him in order to prevent that from happening.If Nohn was willing to be his follower, he would undergo some proper training and become a formidable member of the Triple Flair Cross Enigma Sect. Fred was quite confident in this. He surpassed Horace in every aspect. It wa

"Spiritual herb? Isn't that simple? You can easily buy it on the street. If you want it, I can just go and buy it for you. Why go through all that trouble? There’s no need to go all the way to the top,” Fred said before turning around, seemingly ready to go.Nohn immediately stopped Fred and said, "I don't need some ordinary spiritual herb. This one is different. It takes the shape of a five-pronged star and emits a dazzling light anytime, anywhere. If you find it, I'll obey your orders and follow you..."Fred thought about it carefully and asked with suspicion, "You've been on Mount Quinton for a long time. You should be familiar with every plant and tree on the mountain. Why can't you find this spiritual herb?""It’s called a Five-Leaf Clover. It has always existed on the mountain, but I just can't find it," Nohn said helplessly, not looking like he was joking at all.Fred found the admission to be a bit strange and asked curiously, "You say you can't find it? Since you've been h
