Anna filled another glass of wine and said, "To be honest, you're still far behind Emily at present."

Albert admitted it frankly. How outstanding Emily was! The Nouhurst Advanced Academy had even put aside its pride to give her a special recruitment. Such an honor was probably something that even the imperial family of the Nouhurst Empire didn't possess.

"I won't fall too far behind," Albert said as he raised his wine glass.

Anna smiled and said, "It seems you have feelings for Emily?"

"The excellence of Emily goes without saying. If I said I had no feelings for her, I'm afraid even you would say I was being hypocritical," Albert said earnestly.

He and Emily had been childhood sweethearts for so many years. The emotions between them were already complicated. Coupled with that engagement contract, in Albert's view, there was already a deep bond between them. Albert believed that not only he himself, but even someone with Emily's personality couldn't treat him as an ordinary person. In t

    When Albert arrived at the academy, Simon came up to him and said, "Albert, you're finally here. One of your two matches today won't be easy. It's Adam from Class One. Do you remember him?""Adam," Albert nodded. This person was quite famous in Class One. He possessed a 6-star wind element soul and was extremely fast. His strength ranked around the top ten or so.Simon said with a solemn look on his face, "That guy has already reached the 7th-stage realm. He's much stronger than Henry.""The 7th stage, huh? He's indeed more difficult to deal with than yesterday's opponent. It's okay. I can handle it."While they were talking, a student ran over and said, "Albert, someone is looking for you outside."Albert was a bit puzzled, but he still walked out. Then he saw a young man standing by the wall, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, looking carefree and unrestrained.Albert recognized this person at a glance. It was none other than Adam, his opponent for today.Adam fiddled with hi

    The people in the audience exclaimed in surprise, "Albert is really a freak!Excitement surged in Adam's eyes. In the next moment, his cyan soul power surged violently, and his figure shot out like the wind. His speed exploded to the extreme at this very moment.However, just at the instant when his speed burst out, he suddenly felt that his body had somehow lost its sense of balance, and he was inexplicably lifted into the air.Adam's expression changed drastically as he looked down. Then he saw that, at his feet, a faint blue soul power had somehow wrapped around them.That blue soul power was just like a water snake, entangling both of his feet together. And precisely because of this, when his speed burst out, his body lost its balance."What is this..."Adam's pupils constricted.Albert in front of him, looking at Adam who had lost his balance and was flying towards him, showed a smile and said, "A low-level soul technique, Water Snake.""Adam, you were careless."While speaking, A

    Albert scratched his head. No matter from what perspective, this choice was the most correct one. Everyone could see that there was a huge gap between the two sides. Knowing the result yet still insisting on going ahead, wasn't that being a masochist?Albert thought for a while and didn't go to the Soul Liquid House that day. Instead, he went straight back to the old mansion because even though there were alternatives, he still felt that he needed to make some preparations.The next day, as soon as Albert arrived at the Navia Academy, he heard someone calling his name. Then he saw Kelly standing beside a big tree. Today, Kelly was wearing a navy-blue academic-style suit jacket. The tailored cut highlighted her slender waist. The golden buttons on the jacket were exquisite and shiny, adding a noble touch to the whole look. She wore a black pleated skirt on her lower body, and the hem of the skirt fluttered gently with her movements, showing the vitality of youth.Her long hair cascaded

    Kelly was also watching the changes in the arena. She had expected that David would irritate Albert, but she didn't expect that he would be so bold as to attack a God Realm powerhouse. Albert had deep affection for his parents and wouldn't allow anyone to slander them. Although David wasn't qualified to slander two God Realm powerhouses, Albert didn't intend to put up with it.David was looking at Albert coldly. Previously, when Albert called him a "brat of the Gaunt family", it had made him a bit angry. However, he didn't retort because it was meaningless. Stepping on Albert under his feet later would be the best proof.The referee in the arena announced the start of the contest. The moment his voice fell, a crimson soul power slowly rose within David's body. As the soul power wafted, vaguely, there seemed to be the shadow of an eagle looming. That was David's Seven-star Fire Eagle Beast Soul, and its soul power was scorching and violent. David didn't hold back at all. His Eighth S

    Just when the fist was about to hit the water shield, David vaguely saw that there seemed to be a flash of light and shadow inside the water shield. It was a figure, also waving its fist and colliding with his fist.Boom! The impact of the soul power stirred up dust and scattered it around. David's body shook, and he took two steps back again. One of his feet was even hanging outside the arena, but no one paid attention to this. Everyone was shocked. David's body seemed to have received a powerful backlash at this moment. His figure staggered back more than ten steps before he managed to stabilize himself. David raised his head, his face full of shock. David was actually repelled? What was going on? How could the rebounding power of Albert's water shield be so strong? "Did you notice that more than half of David's attack was rebounded back? This is far beyond what this water shield can usually achieve." Once again, an uproar broke out all around, along with incredulous exclamatio

    Albert also felt the suppression of his soul power and knew what David was thinking."Even if you've suppressed your soul power, why should I be afraid of you?"This time, Albert took the initiative to attack. The two figures collided with each other, and their fists and feet brought bursts of wind-breaking sounds as they fought fiercely together. David found that although he had suppressed his soul power, he couldn't suppress Albert anymore.Anger appeared in David's eyes, and in the next moment, the suppressed soul power in his body suddenly burst out, and he smashed a fierce punch towards Albert.Just as the fist was about to hit Albert, Albert had already been ready to cast the Water Shield Technique, and a water shield suddenly appeared in front of DavidDavid punched the water shield, and the powerful force was immediately bounced back, making his chest feel stuffy. He stepped back several steps, and the force also receded a few steps.Albert looked at David with a smile.David s

    At this time, the old dean and all the tutors fell silent. This outcome was also unexpected to them. The old dean let out a sigh and said, "Albert didn't intend to win at all. His aim was to drag the match into a draw."And he really managed to do it.Hill couldn't stop smiling. Albert had really brought honor to him today."Who said there are no geniuses in Class Two?"Lamb, who was standing aside, already had a face as black as the bottom of a pot. Seeing Hill's complacency, he couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Albert did perform very well today, but in the upcoming academy-wide examination, there will be no time limit then. One has to rely on real skills at that time, and these underhanded tricks won't work."Hill snorted and said, "Albert might make further progress by then."Lamb sneered, "Even if he makes further progress, he'll only be at the seventh level of soul power."Dean Walton stopped the two from bickering and then stared at them and said, "How Albert will perform at

    The attic of Albert's room in the old house. On the coffee table in front of him was placed a used bottle of Five-star Soul Liquid. "This is the last bottle of this batch." Up until now, Cherry had already purchased eighty-three bottles of Five-star Soul Liquid for him, which had cost more than four hundred thousand gold coins. It was a huge sum. If Cherry hadn't sold some of her properties, she really wouldn't have been able to afford such consumption. Albert's Water-light Element Soul had improved a lot, but it would still take some time before it could evolve. He had to upgrade it to a Six-star Water-light Element Soul before the academy-wide examination. Albert found another Soul Refining Technique. The requirement for practicing it was to have a Six-star Soul. At the current speed, in order to evolve to Six-star, he still needed one last batch of Five-star Soul Liquid. Recently, Sister Cherry seemed to avoid seeing him. Whenever she saw Albert, she would take a detour, which

    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

    Outside the stronghold, the originally chaotic and brutal battlefield suddenly became eerily quiet at this moment.It was as if it had fallen into a strange kind of harmony.The three-tailed giant beast that had entered the scene was also somewhat shocked in its heart by this scene in front of it. Its scarlet beast eyes swept over Albert, and then it looked at the Smiling Face Demon not far away.The powerful power of evil thoughts surging around the opponent was obviously that of a very formidable being. When did such a powerful evil creature appear in this area?Could it be that the cunning human kid led it here just to get rid of it with the help of the opponent's power?While the three-tailed giant beast was a bit stunned for a moment due to the complicated situation, the Smiling Face Demon was also full of apprehension. Judging from the meaning in the previous human's words, was this spirit beast their guardian beast?This was the reinforcement the other party had found!It was r

    It let out a piercing howl, and then countless twisted and evil creatures in the black mist surged out like a black tide.Inside the stronghold, many students looked at this scene with panic on their faces.Orina and the others also had slightly pale faces, but then their gazes turned to Emily and said, "Let's fight!"Emily grasped the heavy sword with her delicate hand. Although the injury in her body hadn't fully healed, at this moment, as the backbone of the stronghold, she had to stand up no matter what to stabilize people's hearts and morale.So the heavy sword in her hand was slowly raised, and the bright soul power suddenly burst out, like a huge sun.She took a deep breath, and her cold voice resounded in the ears of all the students."My heart knows no fear!""Our kind shall endure!"The battle cries passed down from generation to generation in the academy seemed to be engraved in the bones of all the students. When it sounded, the eyes of the students who were originally a b

    The other party clearly knew the level of the dean, so they harbored a deep fear of him. And previously, Albert had taken advantage of this fear to make the other party feel wary.It was nothing more than using the power of others to bully others.Albert glanced behind him. The figure of the three-tailed giant beast had already disappeared, but he wasn't in a hurry. Although the beast had some intelligence, its nature was still fierce and greedy. The seal in his hand could indeed make it feel a bit wary, but he was sure that soon the three-tailed giant beast would also be able to figure out some clues. For example, if this seal could really kill it, Albert wouldn't have to run away in such a sorry state.Once it figured it out, it would definitely chase after him.And this could just buy him a lot of time.Albert gently pressed his rapidly beating heart and gradually calmed his emotions. When he decided to carry out this plan, he actually expected the danger involved, so he had made a

    Although Albert managed to avoid the random bombardment of the three-tailed beast, his heart grew heavier and heavier. He could sense that the distance between the three-tailed beast and him was gradually shrinking.After all, he had underestimated the spirit beast at the peak of the Heavenly General Rank.Even though he was taking a shortcut by relying on the speed of the flowing water, it wasn't as easy as he had imagined to maintain an absolutely safe distance."At this speed, it might still take quite a while to reach the stronghold."Albert looked up in the direction of the stronghold, frowning. Did he really have to maintain this thrilling situation for so long? It was really nerve-wracking.After all, being chased by the three-tailed beast, if he made even the slightest mistake, he would probably be in a life-or-death situation.And most importantly... at the moment, the three-tailed beast hadn't caught up yet, but Albert knew that if he really thought a Heavenly General Rank s

    Albert gazed into the depths of the mountain range, where clouds and mist were swirling. He didn't know exactly where that spirit beast was hiding. And if he wanted to lure it out, he couldn't just casually activate the power of his dual souls. After all, this mountain range was so vast, and the power of his dual souls was so weak. If he really used it here, the spirit beast might not be able to sense it.And the last time, he was in the Dark Spirit Pool.Albert's gaze turned towards the direction of the Dark Spirit Pool. The depths of the Dark Spirit Pool must be connected to some parts of this mountain range, and perhaps even to the place where that spirit beast cultivated.That's why, when Albert's power of dual souls erupted, even though they were so far apart, the spirit beast could clearly sense it.Albert pondered slightly, then without hesitation, he turned around and went down the mountain, and quickly rushed to the Dark Spirit Pool.Now, the area around the Dark Spirit Pool

    Lane nodded.Albert was a bit at a loss for words and could only force a dry laugh, saying, "My old man really has a lot of guts."The old man seems a bit arrogant. After all, Lane is a powerful Holy Spirit-level expert, yet he directly called him a quack. Isn't he afraid of getting beaten up?"Andrew... A powerful figure coming from afar, his courage is naturally extraordinary," Lane said with a smile.Albert let out another dry laugh. His old man was only at the God-level strength. In front of Lane, a Holy Spirit-level powerhouse, how could he be called a powerful figure coming from afar?As if seeing through Albert's thoughts, Lane smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Although a Holy Spirit-level expert is superior to your father, your father also has a strong background."Albert was stunned for a moment and said somewhat dismissively, "No matter how strong the background is, can it compare to the Academic Alliance?"Lane smiled and said, "The Academic Alliance is indeed one of
