Albert let out a sigh and said, "I really want to know who on earth is behind Bernard that has such great ability that two of our Martin family's honorary elders would condescend to protect him."

"But... Aren't you really afraid that my parents will come back someday?"

Elder Karl's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his withered face gradually faded. He was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "Our actions haven't violated the rules set by the two family heads back then."

Albert smiled and said, "But you seem a bit guilty."

Elder Karl didn't say anything more, just sighed and said, "Young Master, it's meaningless to talk about these things now. There will be a result at the Martin family meeting half a year later."

"And according to the rules set by the two family heads, among the Martin family now, the only ones who truly have the qualification to compete for the position of family head are Bernard and you."

His gaze glanced at Emily beside him and smiled, saying, "Of cour

    In the messy courtyard, Albert watched as the figures of Bernard and Elder Karl vanished into the night. He let out a soft sigh, and a trace of frustration flashed in his eyes. This attempt to kill Bernard had obviously failed, although Albert had had a premonition of this from the very beginning.After all, Bernard wasn't a fool. It was impossible for him to come to Newhurst City completely unguarded.What Albert didn't expect was that Elder Karl, the honorary elder of the Martin family, would actually protect Bernard."The old traitor who betrays his own family."Albert cursed. Karl had been living off the Martin family's offerings in the past, but now he was deliberately going against him."Mom and Dad were so wise. How could they leave behind such people?" Albert asked Emily with a depressed look.The brilliant and radiant soul power surging around Emily gradually subsided. Hearing Albert's words, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Maybe Master and Mistress never took these fl

    Since the "otherworldly battlefield" constantly forced the human race to send god-level powerhouses to fight within it, Albert could understand how terrifying those (strange beings) were. However, although he was full of fear towards the strange beings, he always had an illusion that it seemed that the existence of the strange beings was still far away from him...He had always thought that to come into contact with the strange beings, one had to reach the god-level strength before being qualified, right?But now Emily was telling him that there were actually strange beings in the dark cave beneath Newhurst Advanced Academy!So, he and the strange beings were actually this close?"This world is not the only place where strange beings exist in the otherworldly battlefield. They are constantly entering our world through some spatial cracks. Newhurst is relatively lucky. There aren't many spatial cracks connecting to the dark world, so ordinary people in Newhurst are quite unfamiliar wit

    Emily pondered slightly and said, "If it's in this way, I suggest that for this purification mission, your 'Justice Team' should follow our 'Black Swan Team'."Albert's spirits immediately lifted. Everyone knew that among the Three-Star Courtyards, Emily's team was one of the best. If they could follow them to carry out the purification mission, the danger level would definitely be reduced a lot. And Emily's doing this was obviously giving him a backdoor.It was the (commonly seen and pleasing) situation of relying on someone powerful again."Will it cause you any trouble?" However, although he really wanted to accept it, Albert still asked cautiously.Emily paused, then smiled and shook her head. Her black hair fluttered gently in the night wind. "Don't worry. After all, your Justice Team was the first place in the ranking battle of the One-Star Courtyard this time."Albert then let out a sigh of relief.Emily withdrew her gaze. She didn't mention that, in fact, this method of having

    Whether they would be conscripted to enter the dark cave to carry out the purification mission or not, they had to understand the information about these strange beings clearly, because even if they didn't encounter them now, they would eventually meet them in the future."It's indeed time to tell you this information."Instructor Ilya nodded and said, "Regarding the strange beings, I have told you before that the dark world gathers the evil thoughts of the human race, and the strange beings are born from these evil thoughts.""The strange beings are eerie and powerful. They come in all kinds of strange, twisted and terrifying forms. And the strange beings are roughly divided into four levels: the Erosion Level, the Disaster Level, the Destruction Level, and the King of Strange Beings.""Erosion represents corrosion. The strange beings of the Erosion Level initially possess the power to erode people's hearts. Since they are formed by countless evil thoughts, once contaminated by their

    "Justice Squad?" Dunn frowned and thought for a moment, but he couldn't quite remember which well-known team in the Second Star Academy had this name.Vanessa quickly remembered something and said in surprise, "Could it be the Justice Squad from the First Star Academy? I remember the team leader of that squad is Albert, right? He has a connection with you, Captain..."Reminded by Vanessa, Dunn also reacted. He put away the small mirror at this time and frowned tightly, saying, "Captain, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to choose a team from the First Star Academy?"If it were something else, he wouldn't object to Emily's proposal, but the Dark Grotto is really no joking matter. With the slightest mistake there, even they might get into trouble. So if they have a choice, they certainly prefer a team from the Second Star Academy. After all, the strength of the latter is stronger than that of the teams from the First Star Academy.In the past, when entering the Dark Grotto, there has

    Shirley first carefully put away the small bottle, and then showed a sweet smile to Albert: "Captain, I haven't been lazy in researching the soul liquid formula recently either."Albert waved his hand, took a sip from the water glass, and said calmly, "Compared with the friendship between us, these are all small matters. Don't push yourself too hard. Just take your time."Shirley nodded and said, "The soul liquid formula I'm researching this time is something I've been preparing for several years. If I can succeed in the research, it will definitely reach the four-star level!"Albert spat out the water in his mouth all at once. Fortunately, he turned his head quickly, otherwise he would have ruined the table full of food.But he still didn't care about the water stains on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Shirley in front of him with a shocked expression: "A four-star formula?"The entire Soul Liquid Hall has been working on it for so many years, and the highest-level formula is o

    If it weren't for Emily's sudden rise in the academy in the past two years, I'm afraid the Princess Royal would have easily captured the hearts of all the male students in Newhurst Senior Academy."When the Dark Grotto is opened, the students from the Third Star Academy and the Fourth Star Academy will be the main force in purifying the inner area. And every time this happens, even the Seven Star Pillars who usually don't show up much will try their best to come," Instructor Ilya said.Upon hearing this, Albert raised his eyebrows slightly. He was no stranger to the title of the Seven Star Pillars, which represented the highest achievement of the students in Newhurst Senior Academy.These seven students were also the seven strongest active students in Newhurst Senior Academy.All the students in Newhurst Senior Academy were chasing after them as their goal.So far, Albert had only seen Walter and the Princess Royal among the Seven Star Pillars. He had only heard about the other five.

    On the side of the Four-Star Courtyard, the Grand Princess frowned slightly and said, "It seems that the pollution inside the Dark Abyss this time is more serious than in previous years."Although this time, Newhurst Senior Academy only sent the Purple Radiance Squad from the One-Star Courtyard to enter, it is obviously just a preliminary attempt. In the future, this level will continue to be relaxed. By then, the Golden Radiance Squad from the One-Star Courtyard might also be sent in.This is enough to show that the situation inside the Dark Abyss is even more severe.As the Grand Princess of Newhurst, her worries are obviously heavier than those of others. After all, Newhurst Senior Academy is also located in Newhurst. Once the Dark Abyss really gets out of control and erupts, not only will Newhurst Senior Academy be damaged, but Newhurst itself will also suffer a devastating blow.This is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.Beside the Grand Princess, Walter also nodded and sa

    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
