Grace's envoy team acted swiftly, efficiently peeling away the black serpent's skin in a matter of moments. The gallbladder was also meticulously placed into a box.She had personally observed the black serpent's impressive defense, which had withstood a powerful strike from Aidan, a grandmaster martial artist. The durability of its scales was undeniable. Considering the serpent's colossal size, she anticipated that it could potentially provide materials for over a hundred sets of resilient armor. Armed with these resources, she envisioned the formation of an unstoppable personal guard—a treasure that couldn't be easily obtained through conventional means."Here's your reward, a potent boost for cultivation," Grace said, handing Dustin the black serpent's gallbladder stored in the box.However, he seemed uninterested and shook his head. "This thing won't do much for me. You should keep it."The black serpent's gallbladder has potent benefits for a grandmaster martial artist, bu
Yonah frowned, and his expression turned grim. "That bastard's holding back his real strength. He's powerful and practically unstoppable. If we attempt to confront him, we could end up dead."As he recalled Dustin's astonishing feat of effortlessly slicing through the black serpent with a single sword, Yonah couldn't help but feel intimidated. He felt a sense of relief knowing that Dustin hadn't fully unleashed his power in their last encounter. Otherwise, Yonah might not have survived to share the story."You're right. Tackling him by ourselves might be a challenge, but let's not overlook the support from our sects," Bran said.Lowering his voice with a hint of malice, he added, "Dustin may have the skills of a grandmaster martial artist, but he's outnumbered. "When the two major sects unite against him, taking him down becomes much more manageable."He was well aware that both the Drakes Dominion Order and the Frostwing Sect boasted a grandmaster martial artist at the forefro
Jackson strolled through the palace corridors, his excitement uncontainable. "Dustin, I had no idea your skills were so impressive. Your sword technique just now was truly epic!" While aware of Dustin's formidability, Jackson never comprehended the extent of his power. He could sense Dustin's cultivation level surpassing even Aidan's, leaving him utterly astonished.Sophia smiled and remarked, "He's right. That single swing of your sword took down the black serpent."It caused a ripple effect, shaking things up in both the southwest and northwest forces. Your name is about to become a global sensation!" Her eyes held intense admiration for Dustin. To her, Jackson was undeniably impressive, but he served as her backup. Now, with Dustin, a peerless genius, by her side, she felt confident in her next move."I just happened to stumble upon the black serpent's weak spot." Dustin smiled faintly.Jackson intervened. "Don't downplay yourself, Dustin. The black serpent's defense is soli
These past few days, I've been hit with the flu and dealing with some recurring health issues. Additionally, I've been experiencing mild dizziness, and even sitting down gives me a spinning sensation. Today, I tried to write while lying in bed, managing to put together 300 words, but unfortunately, I had to take breaks to deal with nausea.I'll take a couple of days off to recover. Once I'm feeling better, I promise to make up for the content I owe you from these past few days.Just plain water.11/30/2023
Grace commanded, "Send someone over and break down this mural."A group of bodyguards swiftly drew their weapons and began pounding on the mural. It crumbled under a barrage of forceful blows, revealing an ancient and sturdy bronze door. At the center of the door, a fist-sized eye held everyone's gaze with its unsettling deep red glow, resembling a gem. From the eye, a fan-like pattern spread out, breaking the bronze surface into eight sections. Each section was adorned with unique images.The surface of the door featured unusual frog-like symbols. Their twisted and contorted shapes contributed to the overall mystique of the scene.The leader of the envoy team turned to Grace, his expression curious. "Ms. Linsor?" He paused, eyeing the red gemstone on the bronze door. Its value was apparent, making him cautious about any impulsive actions."Smash everything!" Grace was concise in her command. They couldn't afford to give up if there was something behind that door easily. As
Despite employing a substantial amount of explosives, the bronze door remained impervious, showcasing its exceptional durability. Even sheer brute force proved ineffective.Grace, with a slight furrow in her brow, suggested, "Search for mechanisms or anything that might assist us.""Got it!" The envoy team leader promptly responded, directing his team to explore. Despite an extensive search within the grand hall, they discovered nothing."Ms. Linsor," Garrett interjected. "Save your efforts. The solution to open this bronze door is right here."Grace turned around, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Oh? Captain Wilder, do you recognize the symbols on the door?""I've been on quite the journey, exploring historical sites and immersing myself in the study of intriguing symbols for many years. It's become second nature to me." Garrett proudly shared.He walked forward confidently and added, "If I'm not mistaken, this underwater palace was built by the ruler of Sceptoria a thousand
The symbols on the bronze door abruptly stopped rotating, as if caught in a jam. It swayed back and forth with an unsettling creaking sound."Huh? What's happening? Why did it stop moving?" Everyone exchanged puzzled glances."Captain Wilder, what's going on?" Grace furrowed her brow in unease."Ms. Linsor, calm down. After all, it's been over a thousand years, and it's normal for the mechanisms to show some signs of aging. Just give it a moment, and it'll be fine," Garrett said with a faint smile.He had encountered similar situations before. In the past, he had dealt with traps that, even when triggered, remained inactive due to years of neglect.As he examined the bronze door's material, he felt assured that its internal mechanisms were likely undamaged, albeit possibly less responsive. Given the earlier smashing and explosions, he reasoned that there must have been some impact. Then, the symbols and characters, which were initially rotating clockwise, suddenly began to tur
"Huh?" Everyone stood in shock, their eyes fixed on the shattered bronze door. Mouths hang open, faces reflecting pure disbelief. They never imagined that the supposedly indestructible bronze door, resistant even to explosives, could be obliterated by a single punch from Dustin.There were no flashy moves, no grand display of power—just a simple, direct punch, and the bronze door shattered instantly. It was truly unbelievable."Wait… Seriously, how is this even possible?" Garrett's eyes widened in disbelief, his face revealing an indescribable shock.Only moments ago, he witnessed dozens of people taking turns attacking the bronze door with weapons and explosives. Despite their relentless efforts, the door remained as it was. However, with just one punch, Dustin managed to shatter this seemingly indestructible door."Holy crap! Is he a monster?" Silva blurted out, her hand instinctively covered her mouth in shock. Her eyes were practically about to pop out. Just moments ago,
