"He's with me. Does he still need to take the test?" Clifford said."Of course. It's business as usual. Besides, as long as you meet the basic martial arts standards, you can enter. If he is your friend, he should be strong enough to ring the bell, right?" the guard said with a smile."Let me try."Ashton stood in front of the bronze clock and tapped a finger on the bronze clock.Buzz...The copper bell made a slightly crisp sound.The people in charge smiled at Ashton and said, "The power you hold in one finger could match the full strength of an entry-level warrior. Presumably, you must have reached the completion for horizontal cultivation."Ashton smiled."Please come in. Please come in."As the last group of warriors, the two went up the mountain smoothly.At the foot of the mountain, there was still a fierce discussion about what had happened."That Clifford might be good at fighting, but his life is miserable now.""Oh? Why is that?""I heard he was removed from the

"However, since you want evidence, I shall provide them."Ashton pulled a tiny silver dart from his pockets and threw it straight at Amelia's head before everyone could react."Ashton, you—" Clifford looked at him in panic."Don't you feel like she's acting differently? Even though I don't know her, I can see at a glance that she's in an abnormal state. Her eyes are unfocused, and her actions are rigid, dull, and stiff," Ashton said.When Clifford frowned, Ashton smiled and said, "She was bewitched.""If I'm right, that should be witchcraft. Your master is controlling Amelia. She will show unconditional loyalty and obedience to the person who did the hex. This cultivation technique has been banned in Xenagoras for a long time. I did not expect the Azureton Sect to dabble with these things."Clifford was furious when he heard that. He glared at Hector. "Why are you doing this to Amelia? She listens to you already. Why did you need to hex her?"Many in the crowd were from other se

Hector bowed his head respectfully. "Someone here has slandered the Azureton Sect with rumors. Therefore, I am here to settle the scores. Once resolved, we will resume our journey and arrive at the conference on time."Wade nodded, turned his gaze, and saw Cayson with broken iron pieces lodged all over his body. He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. "What a cruel method to hurt others."Then he glanced at Ashton again. "What sect are you from? Don't you know that the Azureton Sect is affiliated with the Willows Shape Will Sect?"His words implied that anyone who opposed the Azureton Sect was his enemy.Many people held their breath.Wade would speak for Azureton Sect. That kid was unfortunate. He thought he could handle the Azureton Sect, but Wade's arrival changed everything."It's over. It's really over for him. I didn't expect Grandmaster Willows to stand up for the Azureton Sect publicly. Now, this is really over." Master Macall shook his head frantically.Lilah

"Is he human?"The people watching Ashton's punch flatten the mountain were about to drop their jaws in shock.Even Clifford's mind blanked."Do you think that was all I can do?"An unprecedented force broke out from Wade's elixir core. The ground exploded, sending rocks flying over in all directions.Wade condensed his strength on his right hand, swung at the rocks, and slapped Ashton with a palm."Grandmaster Willows, kill him!" Cayson roared frantically. No one wanted Ashton to be dead more than he did.His hatred for Ashton was deep.However, all that hatred turned into desperation in the next second.Ashton caught the deadly blow of Wade's whole body with one hand.Cayson thought Ashton's eyes flickered with gold light.Was he human?"You are too weak—I did not expect a grandmaster to have so little to offer. You may be worthy of my true strength if you are stronger." Ashton slammed Wade's head into the ground, then kicked him off the cliff.The whole process was cris

"Never been to school?"Everyone's faces suddenly changed.In that day and age? Never been to school? It was simply absurd."Is this your way of refusing to answer my question? It's okay. Let's sit down and have some drinks. Just to warm up a little. Me and Reynard are good talkers," Beckett said politely.He patted, made room, and invited Ashton to sit."You misunderstood. I really haven't gone to school, let alone heard of any Scanfort Research Institute. My medical skills are self-taught, and I don't even have a medical qualification certificate. But Kendra saw me for my worth," Ashton said generously.Beckett's expression stiffened. "Kendra, what is this?"Everyone looked to Kendra for an answer.Kendra grabbed Ashton, sat on an empty sofa, and leaned on his shoulder. "Does it matter? You guys are too bound by rules and regulations even to meet the right person, and you complain in the group chat all day that you can't find love."Beckett and Reynard looked at each other.
