Looking at the crushed Gemiphen, Nicholas was heartbroken and furious. He didn't care about his image anymore and immediately threw himself to the ground, collecting the powder bit by bit.

It left everyone dumbfounded. Was it necessary to make such a fuss over a broken pill?

"Mr. Turner, what's going on?" Spring was perplexed. People from Stoneray Valley were usually proud and arrogant. They had never lost their composure like that.

"What's going on? How dare you ask me such a question?" Nicholas angrily retorted, "How can you destroy a panacea? This is a very rare pill. Such a waste! Who is the idiot who did this?!"

"Mr. Turner, are you mistaken? How could this black, broken thing be a panacea?" Torben looked skeptical.

"You're such a fool!" Nicholas stared at him like he was an idiot. "What you call a broken thing is the Golden Crow Pill, a holy medicine for healing! It specializes in treating various internal injuries and chronic ailments. Your grandfather's life could have b

    Patrick's face darkened. "Dustin is my friend. I can vouch for him. If there's any problem, I'll take full responsibility!" "Hey! What are you all dawdling for? Come in quickly!" Seeing the group standing at the doorway, Spring urged them from inside the room. "Hmph! Kid, you better not play any tricks. I'll be watching you closely!" Torben warned before stepping aside. "Dustin, don't bother with him. Please come in," Patrick said, not wanting to waste any more time. He quickly led Dustin to the bedside. "Young guy, I heard you have the Gemiphen?" Nicholas spoke first. His eager demeanor was like that of a person who had starved for three days and finally saw a delicious feast."I do have it, but not many. They were all passed down through my ancestors," Dustin replied. He could tell from the emblem on their clothes that they were from the Stoneray Valley. To avoid trouble, he could only give such an answer. "So it's an ancestral elixir? Young guy, how many pills do you have

    "What?" Torben was stunned. Holding his face, he felt confused. Shouldn't they be reprimanding Dustin at this moment? Why did his uncle slap him instead?"You useless fool! Get the hell out if you can't speak properly!" Spring's face was stern. He was clearly angry.It was supposed to be a situation where they didn't have to spend any money, but this idiot had managed to raise the price of a pill to 300 million. Dustin would probably ask for even more if they let him continue. Why punish him instead of this damned guy?"Spring, you've gone too far." Autumn frowned. Of course, he wasn't happy about his son getting slapped."You shut up too!" Spring turned around and glowered. "Father's life is hanging by a thread, and we urgently need the medicine to save him. Yet you people are still here arguing. If something happens to Father, can you afford the responsibility?" Hearing that, the father and son exchanged glances and dared not say another word.The Hill family was known for

    "Oh, by the way, don't remove the silver needles from the patient's body for another three hours. That's all. Now, you can pay up."After a series of instructions, Dustin directly asked for payment. He had come to treat Paul as a favor to Patrick, but he still expected to be compensated for his services. He didn't want to make the trip for nothing. "The matter of payment is not an issue, but we need to confirm my father's condition first." Spring signaled to Nicholas with his eyes.Nicholas quickly approached and checked Paul's pulse. Instantly, his eyes widened."How is he? Is there something wrong with my father?" Everyone felt anxious upon seeing this."No, no, no ... Mr. Hill's pulse is very calm, and most of the stagnant blood in his body has been removed. The broken meridians were also remarkably repaired. It's truly amazing!" Nicholas exclaimed with delight. The combined effects of the Gemiphen and the miraculous acupuncture technique produced such astonishing results.

    The check lightly landed on Torben's face with a loud smack. It didn't hurt him, but he felt utterly humiliated. "You're asking for death!" Torben instantly became furious and raised his fist to strike Dustin. Yet before he could reach Dustin, he got kicked away and fell to the ground. He ended up in a pitiful state and coughed nonstop. "I will kill you for sure!" Torben's eyes widened in rage. He forcefully tore off his clothes, revealing his muscular body covered in body hair. Then, like a raging bull, he fiercely charged toward Dustin. "Get lost!" Dustin raised his hand and slapped Torben, sending him flying.Torben let out a miserable scream and crashed to the ground, struggling to get up."How dare you hit my son?" Autumn's face turned dark as he witnessed the scene. "Guards! Take this guy down!" With his command, a group of guards dressed in sturdy clothing quickly swarmed in and surrounded Dustin."Yo

    Paul's rampage left the guards severely injured. They coughed up blood and screamed in agony, yet couldn't stop him."Oh no! Grandfather has gone mad!" Torben exclaimed in shock. His gaze suddenly fell on Dustin, and he shouted, "Uncle! It's all that kid's doing! He caused Grandfather to go berserk. Quickly, capture him!""That's right! I've long seen through this kid's malicious intentions. He deliberately poisoned Father and caused Father to end up like this. He must be punished severely!" Autumn echoed."Don't accuse Dustin without evidence! I don't believe he would do such a thing!" Patrick shouted."Hmm ..." Frowning, Spring quickly approached Dustin and asked, "Young man, what's happening? Didn't you say my father was fine? Why did he lose control?""Somebody tampered with my needles." Dustin carefully observed and quickly noticed something wrong."Tampered with your needles? What do you mean?" Spring was puzzled."I inserted three silver needles in the posterior neck, low

    The entire garden fell eerily silent. Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. No one had expected Dustin to be able to block Paul's punch.Not only did he block it, he didn't suffer any harm.After all, Paul was once a master of the Balerno martial arts, a grandmaster. His punches and kicks carried the power to shatter mountains and split the earth. How many people in the Hill family could contend with such a terrifying existence?"Did ... Did he just block the punch?" Torben was so shocked that his eyes widened in disbelief. In their eyes, Paul represented the pinnacle of power in Millsburg. He could kill a divine-level martial artist with a casual move.How could a doctor who came out of nowhere block a grandmaster's punch?What was going on?"Oh my god! Someone actually blocked Mr. Hill's punch! Am I seeing things?" Nicholas's mouth hung open, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. He had thought Dustin was only a genius in medicine, but he never expected Dustin to be s

    "Young man, we will need your help again," Spring said."Treating your father and saving his life is not a problem, but I hope you Hills can uphold your promise and pay me the full amount of money instead of resorting to coercion, intimidation, and taking advantage of your position," Dustin said calmly. "Coercion, intimidation, taking advantage of our position? What are you talking about, young man?" Spring was puzzled. "Perhaps you should ask the two people next to you what they have done," Dustin hinted."Autumn, what's going on?" Spring frowned."Well ..." Autumn hesitated to speak. He couldn't openly bring up such embezzlement of funds."Uncle Spring, I know what's going on. Uncle Autumn and the others took it upon themselves to change Dustin's 300 million remunerations into three million without permission and even went so far as to threaten him!" Patrick said seriously."Autumn! Have you lost your mind?" Spring's face darkened. "Dustin saved our father's life. He is the

    It was evening, and Dustin was sitting in the living room of Enchanting Villa, engrossed in a book, when Abigail suddenly rushed down the stairs. "Uncle! I need your help with something urgent! Will you accompany me somewhere?" Abigail leaned in, acting secretive. "Where do you want to go?" Dustin's curiosity was piqued."It's a secret. You'll find out once we get there." Abigail playfully dodged the question."If you don't tell me, I won't go." Dustin firmly declined."Well, will you come with me if I tell you?" Abigail frowned."It depends on the situation." Dustin shrugged."Alright, I'll tell you. My friend is celebrating her birthday tonight, and we've planned to have some fun together," Abigail revealed with a mischievous smile."What does your friend's birthday have to do with me? I'm not going." Dustin rolled his eyes."Hey! You're not keeping your word! You just promised me earlier!" Abigail became a bit anxious. "I said it depends on the situation. I didn't promi

    Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

    The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

    After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

    When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

    Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

    As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

    After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

    "How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

    Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
