"You...""You're not dead yet?" Roberto retorted, "Should I be dead?""No!"Suddenly, Longtao's feet trembled, and he charged forward aggressively. Isabella sidestepped, ready to shield Roberto.But Longtao did something unexpected.Under the scorching sun, he leaped high into the air, swiftly slid forward, and knelt on the ground, rubbing against the surface until he reached Roberto's feet.The movement was fluid.With a thud, he knocked his head hard on the ground."Temple Steward Longtao has been blind and foolish. I spoke a bunch of filthy words before. Please forgive me, I truly deserve to die!"This scene left Isabella dumbfounded.Before I even make a move, you're already kneeling?The villagers gaped, their expressions comical. Was this the same Longtao who was so cool and arrogant before?Even Roberto was speechless. This guy was beyond belief.As long as he kneels early enough, no one can defeat him before he kneels down?At this point, everyone was curious about how Roberto

"But..." Long Tao attempted to speak."Insolence!" Leander snapped, "Do you think my teacher would deceive you with his vast knowledge?"A blinding white light radiated, and behind Leander appeared a four-winged seraphim wreathed in fiery flames. His crimson eyes exuded boundless confidence as he declared, "Behold, this is a true top-tier ninth-grade martial soul.""Swoosh!" Another golden sun manifested above Leander's head as he spread his arms and proclaimed, "Great Sun Illumination. See, this is a genuine top-tier twin martial soul."The villagers and Long Tao were profoundly shocked. Yet, Long Tao still felt that despite the strength of Leander's martial soul, it paled in comparison to the commotion Roberto had caused earlier."No need to flaunt your wealth to beggars, Leander, you're overdoing it," scolded the elder, though his eyes betrayed satisfaction.Compared to the grandeur of the scion, Roberto, with a mud eel in one hand and a lotus in the other, appeared humble. But he

"Words spoken, farewell." Roberto glanced at the still-stunned Long Tao and walked away. But just a few steps out, he heard Long Tao's ecstatic voice."Ha-ha-ha, I understand now! The knot in my heart for years has finally been untied!"Boom! Long Tao let out a euphoric roar, his Lizard Dragon martial soul appearing behind him. It was as if the shackles within him had been broken, his soul power surged, and to the astonishment of onlookers, he broke through on the spot.Long Tao's innate talent was a five-grade martial soul, but he had been stuck at level twenty-nine for years, unable to progress. He didn't know what the problem was, which led to increasingly depressive and extreme moods. Now, with this breakthrough, he reached level thirty, and his mood could well be imagined.The first thing Long Tao did after breaking through was to bow deeply to Roberto, his gratitude genuine."Thank you for your guidance. I will never forget this great kindness.""No need for such formality; I wa

"However, the teacher doesn't even deign to look at that guy." Although Roberto is very handsome, and she herself has a soft spot for him, right now she really wants to bite this guy to pieces. He has no idea how rare it is for the Pope to speak favorably.The Female Pope's face was as icy as a mountain, devoid of expression. "You want a reason?""Yes," Roberto nodded, sticking to his opinion.*Whoosh!* The sun shone brightly, yet the temperature around plummeted rapidly. Everyone couldn't help but shiver, fear evident on their faces. When an emperor gets angry, millions will kneel. The Female Pope's proud figure exuded a pressure akin to a bottomless abyss. Her phoenix-like eyes stared at Roberto, devoid of any emotion. "In all my actions, Seraphina, there's no need for explanations."Long Tao and the villagers felt like thorns were piercing their backs. Even though the Female Pope wasn't targeting them at the moment, they felt a chill under this immense pressure. They could only anx

"What's going on? What happened!" Long Tao sensed his fifth-grade Lizard Dragon Martial Soul actually cowering in fear of the special aura emanating from the small loach."This... could it be... the legendary Martial Soul evolution?" Vivienne was once again thoroughly shocked by Roberto's display.What kind of freak is he? Eating the Grudge Dragon's poison raw is already outrageous enough, and now his Martial Soul is evolving too?Seraphina's phoenix eyes revealed a strange color, evidently not anticipating such a fortuitous omen.Isabella, from afar, breathed a sigh of relief, her pretty face showing joy for a moment, then quickly turning cold, her eyes boiling with killing intent as she silently withdrew from the crowd and disappeared into the distance."Whoosh!"At this moment, the small loach's figure expanded to more than three times its size, evolving from the size of a palm to that of a small snake, with fine scales appearing on its body, and the monochromatic aura surrounding
