2024-12-03 10:27:17Thinking of this, Albert Martin was completely stunned. This was simply a bottomless pit. The Martin family founded by his father and mother probably couldn't afford to support a spendthrift like him.
It seemed that his father and mother had foreseen this; otherwise, the Martin family would really be bankrupted by him.
Upgrading from Five-Star to Six-Star was still bearable. Don't think about the later upgrades for now. Just focus on the current task first.
Albert Martin then began to concentrate on his cultivation. During the day, he practiced the Myriad Spirits Transformation to temper his soul power, and at night, he absorbed the Soul Liquid to increase the star level until the Soul Liquid was used up.
In the accounting room, Cherry was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress. The dress was as smooth as silk, tightly wrapping around her curvaceous body. She was sitting slightly sideways, with a slender waist that was so tiny it seemed one could hold it with just one hand.
The hem of the dress fell gracefully on her long, slender legs. With her slightest movements, it would occasionally sway into an enchanting curve. Her legs were straight and well-proportioned, looking even fairer than snow against the black dress.
Cherry's top was designed with a low neckline, revealing a patch of delicate porcelain-like skin and an alluring cleavage that was faintly visible, exuding an irresistible sexy charm.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adding a touch of laziness and charm.
Cherry looked away from the account book and turned to Steward Lee. "The business of the Martin family in Navia City has decreased significantly this year."
Steward Lee said with a wry smile, "Yes, Chief Steward. There are three local families in Navia City: the Mill family, the Gunter family, and the Green family. Although they can't compare with the entire Martin family, they have deep roots in Navia City. They have been encroaching on us quite severely. Among them, the Mill family is the most aggressive. Recently, two of our chambers of commerce were suppressed by them in various ways and then annexed."
Cherry sighed. "Alas, when the two heads of the family were still around, the heads of these families would visit us with gifts every year. Things are really different now."
Cherry was extremely intelligent. The Martin family had originally squeezed the interests of the three major families in Navia City. Now that the Martin family was facing both internal and external troubles, it was no wonder they would take advantage of the situation.
At present, the Martin family really couldn't spare anyone to come to support in Navia City.
After thinking for a moment, Cherry said, "Close down some of the shops that are not making a profit for the time being. There's no need to get entangled with them. Allocate the staff to other shops instead."
Temporary forbearance is necessary. When the Martin family stabilizes, these families will have to spit out however many shops they have swallowed.
The other stewards nodded and left one by one.
At this time, Cherry, who was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress, was about to go out when she saw Young Master Albert Martin running over in a hurry. Cherry slightly raised her delicate eyebrows and said with her red lips slightly parted, "Young Master, what's the rush?"
Albert Martin stopped, panting slightly. "It's not a big deal. It's just that the fifty portions of Soul Liquid I purchased a few days ago have been used up. I'd like to ask Sister Cherry to purchase another hundred portions of Four-Star Soul Liquid."
Hearing this, Cherry's beautiful eyes widened, and she slapped the table with her jade-like hand, shouting angrily, "Albert Martin, do you want me to lose my job?"
Cherry's sudden reaction really startled Albert Martin. Looking at the anger on Cherry's face, he felt a flurry of panic in his heart and quickly explained, "Sister Cherry, everyone can see your ability. How could I want you to lose your job?"
After a while, Cherry's emotions gradually calmed down, and she said with a hint of apology, "Young Master, I'm sorry. I was a bit too outspoken just now." Then, she slightly narrowed her eyes, and her gaze became sharp as she added, "Could it be that someone is deceiving you, Young Master, trying to obtain Soul Liquid by using your identity?"
Albert Martin shook his head firmly and replied, "Sister Cherry, I really do need the Soul Liquid. No one is deceiving me."
"Don't blame me for being nosy, Young Master. What on earth are you going to do with so much Soul Liquid? I'm also worried that you might believe someone's lies and do something harmful to yourself. I'm even more afraid that Emily will blame me for not taking good care of you." Cherry said worriedly.
Albert Martin was silent for a moment, thinking that the awakening of his soul would be made public sooner or later. He would still need Sister Cherry's help to purchase Soul Liquid in the future. Then he said, "Sister Cherry, my parents left me a secret technique that can awaken my soul, and the Soul Liquid is an essential thing."
After hearing this, Cherry nodded slightly and said, "In that case, indeed, nothing is more important than the awakening of your soul, Young Master. I'll go and make the arrangements right away. It's just that this will cost more than a hundred thousand gold coins again, and half of the gold reserve will be gone. This will make the already precarious Navia City branch of the Martin family even worse."
Albert Martin asked with some concern, "Sister Cherry, is it very difficult for you?"
"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll handle it." Cherry said firmly.
Albert Martin and Cherry talked for a while longer, and then Cherry turned and left

In less than half a day, Sister Cherry sent someone to deliver 100 bottles of Soul Liquid. Then Albert Martin began his crazy cultivation mode. When the last bottle of Soul Liquid was used up, the Wood-Light Element Soul had been upgraded to 5 stars, and at the same time, his realm had also been promoted to the 6th stage of the Entry Level.Entry Level: It's the first realm, which is the entry realm after humans start their cultivation. It is divided into 1 to 9 stages.Soul Warrior: It is divided into three minor realms, namely High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade.Soul Master: Minor Soul Realm - Major Soul Realm - Silver Soul Body - Gold Soul Body - (One-Light Soul - Two-Light Soul - Three-Light Soul) - Colored Soul Body.Celestial Spirit: Small Celestial Spirit with 1 to 9 stars (one can choose to advance after reaching 5 stars) - Medium Celestial Spirit - Great Celestial Spirit - Perfect Spirit.Divine Realm: It is divided into nine grades.And then there are the Holy Spirit and

In the afternoon, it was time for the Soul Power class.To the east of the Navia Academy, there was a forest. The forest was lush and green. And right in the middle of the forest, there was a huge lake filled with lotus flowers. Each lotus leaf was about two meters in size, with a rush cushion placed on it for students to sit on and cultivate. This was the Soul Power Lake.Deep in the bottom of the lake, there was a huge formation that could gather the energy between heaven and earth and convert it into Soul Power through the formation.Those broad lotus leaves in the Soul Power Lake were made of an unknown material. They seemed like individual cultivation platforms, and each leaf could accommodate one student for cultivation. Such a Soul Power Lake was an essential cultivation holy land for every academy. However, the scale of the Soul Power Lake in each academy was different. In fact, it was similar to the cultivation room in Albert Martin's family. If we just talked about the effect

Albert Martin had just sat cross-legged on a red lotus leaf and was about to regulate his breath and start cultivating when he heard some commotion around him. He raised his eyes and saw Henry walking over from the purple lotus leaves in the middle, surrounded by a group of cronies.Henry was rather tall and strong, with a fair complexion. However, the sinister look in his eyes made him seem rather gloomy. There was a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and he swept a contemptuous glance at Albert Martin."Oh, isn't this Albert Martin? What's the matter? Are you pretending to cultivate here again? I thought you didn't dare to come to the academy anymore," Henry said in a sarcastic tone.Albert Martin's expression remained calm and was not affected by Henry's provocation. He slightly raised his eyes and said faintly, "Henry, what do you want?"Henry sneered and took a step forward, saying, "I just don't like the look of you. Do you dare to have a fight with me?"Albert Martin s

Lamb snorted coldly and said, "The purple lotus leaves can have a better effect when used by our Class One than by other classes. I'm not targeting Class Two. That's just the truth."Hill said scornfully, "You want to monopolize the school's resources, yet you put it so nicely. Isn't it just that you want to train a few more students to enter the Nuhester Advanced Academy, add luster to your resume, and finally get promoted to the Nuhester Advanced Academy yourself?"Lamb's face suddenly became much gloomier as he said, "Hill, don't slander me."The other instructors of the Navia Academy, who were standing by, saw the two quarreling and quickly tried to persuade them.Old Dean Walton had a bit of a headache. Purple lotus leaves were extremely scarce, and every class wanted them. After all, the achievements of students were also related to the instructors' promotions. Lamb had been pestering him for a long time, and he had been putting it off. It seemed that he had to give an answer tod

In the stands in the distance, Rosalie stretched her body lazily. The curves outlined by her clothes made even the ladies around her look envious, not to mention those vigorous young men, who all showed greedy expressions one by one.Just came to have a look since I was bored. At this moment, a voice came. Rosalie turned her head to look and saw a girl as beautiful as a fairy with long flowing hair. It was Kelly Stephen."Sister Kelly," Rosalie greeted her hurriedly. Kelly was the top student in Navia Academy. She was not only good-looking but also powerful. Many male students were head over heels for her. If it hadn't been for Emily being so dazzling in the previous session, Kelly would have become a legend in Navia Academy.So Rosalie adored Emily the most, and Kelly came second.When these two stood together, as the most outstanding people in terms of appearance and temperament in the academy at present, they immediately attracted countless gazes.Rosalie asked curiously, "Sister Ke

Bob was clearly angry. He charged straight at Albert, swung the big knife in his hand and slashed at Albert. Immediately, Albert displayed his speed movement technique and dodged to the left. Then he picked up the iron rod and smashed it towards Bob's chest. Only then did Bob react, but it was too late to draw back his knife to block his chest. So he immediately gathered his soul power to protect his chest.Bob thought to himself that after all, Albert didn't have soul power, so his attack power was limited. As long as he used his soul power to defend against it, it would be his turn to counterattack next, and he would surely make Albert pay the price.While Bob was thinking like this, the shadows of the rod came at his chest like lightning.Bang! Severe pain came from Bob's chest. At that moment, Bob felt that the soul power condensed on his chest was scattered like cotton, and a sharp pain came from his chest. Before he could think, his body flew out of the arena and he passed out.A

Everyone stared at this scene in shock. Albert had brought too many incredible things today, and for a moment, people were a bit dumbfounded. "How come he has the water-element soul power?" Rosalie said in shock. At this time, everyone was impacted by the blue element soul power on Albert's body. It was as if they had gone back to that time when that talented young man was around, just like in the old days. David's expression at this moment was extremely interesting. Perhaps this was the last scene he wanted to see. How dazzling Albert had been back then. He didn't want to see Albert rise again. He turned his head to look at Kelly. There was a sparkle in her eyes as she looked at Albert, which hit him even harder. He slowly clenched his fists and stared at Albert with a sinister look in his eyes. Lamb was extremely shocked. "What's going on? How did Albert suddenly have the water-element spiritual power? Did he take some illegal pills?" Hill was also in shock, but upon hearing Lam

Given the potential Albert has shown now, I'm afraid Mentor Lamb from Class One must be feeling really bad. This is such a slap in the face for him. Rosalie looked at Albert's back and said in disbelief, "Didn't he have no soul? How could it suddenly appear?" Kelly said, "Li Luo's situation isn't unheard of. Some rare treasures can make it happen, though they are extremely scarce. However, it's not impossible for Albert's parents to have the ability to do so. Kelly's uncle is the president of the Clark Chamber of Commerce in Navia City, so she has learned a lot from what she has seen and heard." "Why didn't he use that kind of rare treasure until now?" Rosalie said. Kelly smiled and said, "I guess it requires some special conditions. Only Albert knows the details." Kelly's eyes rested on Albert. "Have you finally solved the problem of the empty soul? Can you catch up in the next month?" Mentor Hill on the stands could hardly believe the result in front of him. Lamb, on the other

An inexplicable heat welled up from within his heart. Albert now desperately needed powerful strength because his time was extremely pressing. In half a year, the Martin family would face a great upheaval. However, for that level of struggle, even if he was given another half a year, he felt that it would be very difficult for him to have much participation.The Martin family's defensive battle half a year later would likely involve countless forces and powerful individuals. According to Albert's estimation, those below the Heavenly Spirit Realm might not even have the qualification to participate.So at that time, he would mostly just have to watch Emily go into battle. No matter what 变故 occurred, he would be powerless to do anything.And this was something he couldn't bear to accept.He wanted to fight side by side with Emily and protect the Martin family.But his strength was still a bit lacking after all. After all, half a year was too short a time. And the secret technique that L

When they were resting earlier, Albert took the initiative to tell Emily about the dark red bracelet. After all, the relationship between the two of them was extremely close, and he didn't keep many secrets from her.Albert looked at Emily's delicate and extremely beautiful face in front of him. Her skin was as white as snow and so delicate that it made people feel an urge to caress it. Their hands were clasped tightly together, and it was as if he was holding a piece of warm, cool, and smooth jade in his hand. This made Albert couldn't help but tickle the palm of her hand with his finger."Stop being naughty."Emily glanced at him, and the charm in that glance almost made Albert lose his mind.Emily let go of his hand and pondered, "There is a force in this dark red bracelet that even my soul power can't penetrate. That force is too vast, and I can't reach it at all. It shouldn't come from the three-tailed giant beast."She thought for a while, her golden eyes fixed on Albert, and sh

"Didn't it say that this place was attacked by a great - level evil creature? How has it turned out to be a powerful spirit beast instead?""This seal is quite complicated. Was it done by the Grand Princess?""So impressive.""It seems that we've made this trip in vain. The Grand Princess has already resolved the crisis here all by herself."The senior students of the Fourth Star Academy praised one after another. Although they couldn't figure out the mystery of this sealing formation, it didn't stop them from feeling its profoundness.Walter was also a bit distracted. Then he shook his head and said, "This shouldn't have been done by Lucia. The remaining power on it isn't hers."But he had even more doubts in his heart. Besides the Grand Princess, who else in this stronghold could have resolved this crisis?And who created this seal?Amidst the many cheers, the rescue team poured into the stronghold.Inside the stronghold, many students lined the road to welcome them. And at the back

The emotions in the Princess Royal's heart were churning like a stormy sea, but her profound inner composure ultimately allowed her to quickly adjust her mindset. First, she quietly withdrew her hand without showing any emotion, and then she asked in a calm voice, "What was that just now?""The seal left behind by the Academy Head," Albert smiled and didn't hide it. He said, "The seal has a spirit of its own. So after learning about my plan, it actively transferred into my hand. However, the seal had consumed too much power, and it could only take effect after this three-tailed beast was injured.""The seal of the Academy Head..." The Princess Royal suddenly understood. She did know that there was a seal left by the Academy Head outside the Forbidden Zone Mountains, but she had never expected that the seal could be used in such a way.However, immediately after, she thought of something, and her face turned a bit unpleasant. "Doesn't that mean it didn't really matter whether I came or

The Princess Royal didn't dwell on this topic any longer. Instead, her phoenix-like eyes turned towards the three-tailed beast in front of her, and her pretty face became much more solemn. "Didn't you say that a great calamity-level evil creature appeared here? How did it turn into a spirit beast at the peak of the Celestial General Rank?"She was somewhat surprised and puzzled because the spirit beast in front of her looked vaguely familiar."That great calamity-level evil creature has already been dealt with," Albert said.The Princess Royal was shocked again. A great calamity-level evil creature had been dealt with? Was there someone in this stronghold who could achieve such a feat? Was it Emily? That didn't seem very likely either.Although the Nine-Star Light Soul was indeed powerful, it wasn't that monstrous.After all, Emily was still only at the Soul Master level.Her thoughts flickering, the Princess Royal then said thoughtfully, "Was it the spirit beast that dealt with it?"

Albert was taken aback. This reaction wasn't right. Was it really that simple and straightforward? Didn't they even try to persuade him as a formality? For a moment, even the prepared speech in his mind couldn't be used, which made Albert feel a bit uncomfortable."Go on." Emily urged.Some people around couldn't stand it and spoke up for Albert, "Sister Jiang, how can you let Albert face that three-tailed beast alone?"Albert looked at Emily and found that the latter was looking at him with a faint smile on her cheeks. Immediately, he murmured in his heart. Could it be that Emily had guessed that he had a way to restrain the three-tailed beast?Was she that perceptive?Sigh, he had wanted to pretend to be heroic and get some comfort or benefits. After all, such opportunities were rare.It could only be said that Emily was too smart to be easily deceived.While Albert was feeling melancholy, Emily stretched out her hands and held one of Albert's palms. The feeling of her hands being a

Under Albert's anticipation, time gradually passed, and the battle between the Three-Tailed Behemoth and the Smiling Face Demon became more and more intense and bloody.Both sides used all their means and were completely consumed by the frenzy of battle.The ground was in a mess. On the huge body of the Three-Tailed Behemoth, ferocious wounds appeared one after another, so deep that the bones were visible. At the same time, black qi flowed around the wounds, eroding the flesh and blood.The situation of the Smiling Face Demon was even worse. On its huge body, which was as strong as that of a little giant, there were claw marks that almost tore its body apart. If it weren't for the fact that evil creatures were inherently twisted and strange, these injuries would probably have been enough to take its life.Even so, it was now severely injured.The cervical spine of the Smiling Face Demon was broken by the slap of the Three-Tailed Behemoth, and it stood there with its body twisted.

However, just when he was at his wit's end, a dazzling and bright sword light suddenly descended from the sky. It seemed as if there was a trace of anger wrapped within the sword light.The sword light mercilessly annihilated those evil creatures.Then Albert saw a tall and graceful figure land beside him. It was... Emily.Behind Emily, a group of students from the Third Star Academy, including Orina, Dunn, and Vanessa, all swarmed out and resisted the evil creatures that pounced on them from around.Albert let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and then his body went limp and he fell down.Emily quickly stretched out her slender arm and caught Albert. The latter leaned against her as he took the opportunity, placing his heavy head on her shoulder. The hot breath he exhaled hit her neck, bringing an unusual burning sensation.Emily's face blushed slightly, almost imperceptibly. But she didn't let go. Instead, she reached out her palm and strok

At this moment, the latter's eyes seemed to be fixed on Albert. The hand holding the hilt of the heavy sword slowly exerted force, causing the knuckles to turn white.And it was under the gaze of numerous eyes from behind that Albert's figure rushed into the attack range of the torrent of evil creatures.Albert's figure rushed out swiftly. Many twisted and evil creatures were already clearly visible in front of him. Their greedy gazes landed on him.Inexplicable whispers came from all directions and directly flooded into the depths of his heart.However, Albert had completely ignored those negative emotions, because the current situation was a matter of life and death. Under such a crisis, any emotion couldn't stir up a ripple.There were not only many twisted and evil creatures ahead but also the terrifying Smiling Face Demon. Now that he took the initiative to charge forward, it was undoubtedly like a sheep walking into the mouth of a tiger. Once they attacked, he wouldn't even have
