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

The smile on Albert's lips froze, and he cursed in his heart.Damn it, I was too hasty. These teammates of mine are extremely disappointing.I was still waiting and watching, and you guys just abstained directly?!While Albert had somehow become the unlucky team leader, in another small building.Adam was also sitting cross-legged on a futon obediently. To his right were two people, Sophie and another young man named Danny.Opposite the three of them, a man with his hair scattered, looking a bit unruly, was stretching lazily. And this person was the Purple Radiance Instructor named Charles."You all know what needs to be said. Anyway, just work hard on your cultivation in the future." Charles smiled and then stood up."Do you have anything else you want to ask?"Both Adam and Sophie shook their heads. However, Danny glanced at Adam indifferently and opened his mouth to ask, "Teacher, I want to know why there is a teammate with such poor strength in our team?""To put it bluntly, he wi

The three of them managed to force a smile. It would still take some time to digest this kind of information. However, Instructor Ilya was right. Telling them about the existence of the alien beings was just to let them know more about the world. With their current strength, they neither had the ability nor the qualification to worry about the impact that the alien beings might cause. That was indeed still a bit far away for them.And Albert finally understood why Emily hadn't told him about the information related to the Otherworld Battlefields before. Because telling him would only give him some unnecessary worries and serve no other purpose.After all, no matter how much he worried about Andrew and Charlotte, he couldn't just barge into the Otherworld Battlefields.At this moment, Albert once again deeply felt the importance of his own strength.Let's put aside the matter of the alien beings for now. At present, the most important thing was to continuously improve his own strength

"That reflective side of the world is known as the Dark World."Albert was extremely shocked. He couldn't imagine such a scene. Was it because the Human Race was so powerful that it had changed the rules of heaven and earth, and then caused the reflective side of the world to appear?Was that another world?"Actually, the appearance of the reflective side of the world isn't too big of a problem. But what no one expected was that this reflective side could gather the evil thoughts of the Human Race. Eventually, from these evil thoughts, some (alien beings) were born, which then absorbed the power of the Human Race and grew rapidly.""These alien beings are unknowable and untouchable. They are extremely sinister existences, difficult to eradicate. At the same time, they possess the evil power to corrupt people's hearts. These alien beings are like plagues and viruses. Once they appear in the world, they will cause great destruction, leading to countless massacres and chaos.""The alien

Instructor Ilya's extremely honest answer left the three of them momentarily at a loss for words, and they could only put on an awkward yet polite smile.Teacher, you're so straightforward that it's a bit hard for us to brag about our deep teacher-student relationship."In the future at the academy, I will strive to secure sufficient resources for you as much as possible. Of course, you also have to live up to expectations. Otherwise, if some outstanding Golden Radiance students catch up and snatch the resources away, you can't blame me for not having enough influence as an instructor.""You just need to focus on your cultivation and ignore other things. And for any unjust targeting, once it violates the rules, I will surely help you fend it off."When Instructor Ilya said these words, Albert felt that her gaze lingered on him for a moment. He immediately understood that what she was probably referring to was Enoch.Albert was instantly touched. If he wasn't worried about leaving a ba

"So, Sister Emily, what exactly do you want to say?" he asked.Emily let out a soft laugh and said, "Do you remember the promise you made to me before? You've completed the first step, which is to enter Newhurst Advanced Academy.""Then, for the second step, I want you to become the strongest freshman in Newhurst Advanced Academy.""Although Walter is very excellent, I want everyone to know that compared to you, the only advantage he has over you is his age, and that's all.""So what if he's the son of the regent? The young master of my Martin family will not lose to him in the slightest."Albert was stunned and stammered, "The strongest freshman? Is that really necessary?"This time, when he defeated Adams, he had already used up the trump card of his second soul. And Adams was only ranked fourth. The three students ahead of him were all extremely powerful, especially that Andy, who was quite terrifying.The key was that Albert was already very satisfied with his current achievements

Albert's gaze lingered on Walter's face for a few breaths. Facing the other's attitude, it was impossible form to be cold and distant. Doing so would only make him seem overly petty and invite ridicule. So, he smiled and said, "Senior Walter, you are too kind. It's not really a case of making a stunning debut. It's just a matter of luck that I caught Instructor Ilya's eye."Emily's stunningly beautiful face remained calm as she said, "It's just a Freshman Instructor Selection Contest. Senior Walter, there's no need for such praise."Walter smiled and said, "Junior Sister Emily, your standards are too high. Not everyone is as gifted as you, with a natural Nine-Star Soul. During your Instructor Selection Contest, before it even started, several Purple Radiance Instructors almost got into a fight over you. It seems that no student in the past hundred years at Newhurst Advanced Academy has been able to achieve that."Walter had an extraordinary bearing, and his words revealed excellent cu

A look of sadness appeared on the Eldest Princess's smooth and jade - like face. Holy - Spirit - level experts... are extremely rare even in Newhurst. Moreover, to find a Holy - Spirit - level expert with water, light, and wood elements is simply impossible.The Regent beside her sighed and said, "There's no need to be too anxious. We will surely find a way."The Little Emperor also tugged at the Eldest Princess's sleeve and said, "Sister, it's okay. I'm used to it."He paused for a moment and then suddenly said, "That Albert, doesn't his second soul have the wood element? If so, once he reaches the Divine level and awakens another soul, isn't there a possibility?"As soon as these words were spoken, even Vice - Dean Elsie was stunned. Then she smiled and said, "Theoretically speaking, that's right. But Albert is only at the first stage of the Soul Warrior now. It's unknown how long it will take for him to reach the Divine level. Besides, even if he reaches the Divine level, the soul

Albert looked at the column where his name was located and was somewhat surprised to find that Shirley was actually assigned to the same mentor as him. He also had some impression of that Dylan. He had seen him in Adam's booklet before. It seemed that Dylan ranked seventh and had a special shadow - element soul.Of course, what really astonished Albert was seeing Adam's name."How did this guy manage it?" While Albert was happy for Adam, he was also quite puzzled. It wasn't that he thought Adam didn't deserve it, but he just found it incredible. After all, simply in terms of strength, Adam was indeed not on the same level as the others on the list.Moreover, Adam's soul was only six - star, which was only considered average among the thousands of freshmen in Newhurst Advanced Academy.Yet, he had won the favor of a Purple Radiance Mentor. It was really curious to know what exactly had happened.While Albert was in doubt, Adam was also looking at the list. Then he let out a strange cry

And in the distance of the small forest.Sophie suddenly looked up as if she had a premonition. A purple light fell and hovered in front of her. She reached out and took out the rune seal in the purple light, and a touch of joy appeared on her cheeks."Thank you, teacher," she said respectfully.Although she wasn't too surprised either, after all, it was only when she got the rune seal that she felt at ease.She opened the purple rune seal and saw that the name "Charles" was engraved on it."Is it Mentor Charles?" Sophie naturally knew something about this Purple Radiance Mentor. Moreover, this mentor was also the one she desired the most because the other party also had a wind - element soul.If she could cultivate under his guidance in the future, it would surely enable her strength to soar rapidly.Just as Sophie was delighted to obtain the Purple Radiance Rune Seal, she was suddenly stunned to see another purple glow falling in her direction."Who else is here?"
