The red-dressed woman staggered back as she held her bleeding shoulders. She shrieked in anger. “You will pay for this!”It was only when Cielo Regalia noticed that the red-dressed lady’s hands were overly wide and powerful. They did not look like a woman’s hands but more like a man’s. A bold guess surfaced in his mind.His grandfather had told her before that Divine Tier (Class S) cultivation techniques could give birth to intelligence, and some God Tier (Class SSS) cultivation techniques could even give birth to witches. The stronger the cultivation technique, the more cunning the witch would be.Therefore, Cielo suspected that the woman in front of him was a kind of witch. Now that Cielo heard the woman’s words, Cielo knew that he had guessed correctly.Cielo asked the woman, “You’re not the consciousness that the creator of the cultivation technique left in the cultivation technique. You’re the consciousness born from the God Tier cultivation technique. You’re a witch, right?”See
It was actually a God Tier (Class SSS) cultivation technique! It was even more powerful than what Velicia got which was a Divine Tier (Class S) one!No wonder the witch born from this cultivation technique was so evil.A long mnemonic entered Cielo’s mind. Cielo hurriedly sat down cross-legged and calmed his mind. He carefully chanted the mnemonic and comprehended the cultivation technique. Cielo could not be sure how long this process lasted. When he successfully memorized the cultivation technique, all the bones and tendons in his body were cleansed by the cultivation technique. They emitted a layer of sparkling white light, like fine jade.After comprehending the cultivation technique’s mnemonic, Cielo Regalia finally had the time to read the detailed notes of the Plunderer.Just as the founder of the cultivation technique, the Supreme Demon God, had said, the Beast Plunderer was indeed a bandit cultivation technique. After cultivating this cultivation technique, as long as Cielo c
After exploring the street for a bit, Cielo Regalia chanced upon a beef restaurant featuring beef prepared in many different ways. There was stewed beef, braised beef, roasted beef, and even cold mix beef. The smell wafting from this restaurant stopped him and Rito in their tracks.As though he was on a mission, Cielo hurriedly marched towards the delicious aroma with Rito in tow. In his haste to enter the restaurant, he almost collided with another customer at the door.Cielo managed to halt his advance in time. But when he began to apologize to the person he almost bumped into, a calm and familiar voice began to speak.“Cielo Regalia?” The voice was aloof and devoid of any warmth, yet it carried with it a hint of surprise.“Velicia?”There was something odd about this. His face was covered by the hat for fear of being flocked by the crowd. After the Trials of Eights, Cielo’s name became more famous than the winner. Why? Who would not? He was reported to die inside the Pavilion yet f
“What about this sword?” Cielo Regalia carefully fished it out of the pile. The sword was very ordinary in appearance. However, the moment Cielo touched it; a chilling energy surged from the sword’s handle and flowed through him.“Sir! Put that cursed sword down at once! If you want to live!” exclaimed the salesperson as he rushed forward urgently with a panicked expression.Velicia Aberon who had been observing the incident from the foot of the stairs, followed suit.“Cursed sword? Why is it cursed?” asked Cielo Regalia with sharp curiosity. He found herself unwilling to put it down.“Please put it down, kind sir. If you hurt yourself, I won’t know what to do.” The salesperson looked to be on the verge of tears.“We would sell this sword if we could as it is still in good condition. But in the past, whenever someone bought it, they would somehow injure themselves with it. Although the wounds were never serious, the fact that it’s happened so often means the sword is bad luck. It’s cu
These two people, Arabella Toshino and Cael Ruen, stood in Cielo’s way to get a ticket for Velicia.Upon Cielo’s arrival, Arabella immediately rushed over to him with a face full of distress and concern. She reached out to take Cielo’s hands but Cielo pulled back by taking Velicia’s hand on instinct. At this, Arabella awkwardly lowered and folded her own hands.“Cielo, where did you go? I got worried when Aunt Raella said you left the manor. Trinity College can wait next time, your health can’t. Don’t be silly,” pleaded Arabella anxiously. “I know you are still angry at me when I dissolve our engagement, but you must know I care about you.”Arabella put on a show of smiling while her eyes were filled with tears that Cielo did not know where it come from all of a sudden!Cael Ruen, Raella Ruen Regalia’s son, could not tolerate this any longer. How dare Cielo, this bastard, behave in such a manner. Arabella was worried about this useless man, who was not even resting at home as he shoul
In front of the tall gates of the Aberon Clan’s manor, Velicia was yet to open her lips or move to get moving. She did not know where to start. She did not even know if Cielo wanted some comforting words or if he wanted silence instead. Velicia was simply torn and she did not want to leave just yet!Clearing his throat, it was Cielo who broke the silence much to Velicia’s surprise. “Ehem. Velicia, there is a month before the start of school, right?”“That’s right.”“I plan to gather experience first before going to Trinity College.”Velicia looked at Cielo; her eyes met his flickering deep blue ones. “Where?”“Predators Lane, Ginlong Empire.”“I want to go with you. That place is dangerous.” There was no way in hell that Velicia would let him endanger himself there!The Ginlong Empire was a place deadly enough for someone new like Cielo. But the Predators Lane was a whole new thing! Hundreds of beasts were on par with her Ling Long and there were few, the ones who were slumbering with
The summer of the Ginlong Empire was particularly hot. Everyone who lived here, be it men or women, was all dressed up in the summer. Most of the men were bare-chested, revealing their muscular upper bodies that were covered in scars and sinister tattoos.The women casually put on suspenders or breastfeeds and used short skirts to cover their butts. No one would find it strange if they just swaggered down the street.Due to the high temperature of 40 degrees, Cielo Regalia was only wearing a red hooded shirt that exposed his wide chest. His long legs were hidden under a pair of work pants.Cielo held a cup of a local iced fruit drink in his hand. As he drank, he walked towards the mercenary trading building in the middle of the city.Along the way, there were always people peeping at Cielo. They saw his fair skin that formed a stark contrast with the other men and looked at his gentlemanly face that could not be hidden by his mask.However, they only watched and did not dare to really
Cielo followed the staff all the way to the arena behind the building.The staff shouted at a tall man in the crowd, “Shiro! There’s a young man who wants to join your alpha team. Show him what you got!”Upon hearing this, the man who was chatting with his friends with his back facing Cielo turned around.His exposed chest was full of wounds left by the claws of uncontracted beasts. It was a shocking sight, but it was the battle mark he was proud of.Shiro’s cold eyes swept over Cielo’s slender body. He frowned and complained to the staff, “Seb, why do you bring everyone here?”Shiro glared at Seb before turning his gaze to Cielo’s face. There was undisguised disdain in his eyes. “You can leave. Our team is not a charity organization that takes in the old, weak, and sick!”Just as Shiro finished speaking, Cielo suddenly moved.Cielo Regalia broke the concrete floor under his feet and flew up. When he landed, his left leg erupted with terrifying energy as he stomped on Shiro’s shoulder
After returning to his dormitory, Cielo immediately let Rito out as he calmed the chaotic energy within him. In the middle of the night, a strange dark figure silently swept across Trinity College.Cielo had only started his cultivation when there was suddenly a commotion heard from outside. He opened his eyes as there was a sudden knock on his room door.He stood up to open the door to see Jason standing outside the door with an extremely unpleasant look.“What’s wrong?” Cielo asked—an evident frown on his face.Jason looked at him with a grim look. “Something happened.”Something had happened at the department which is especially built for alchemists. In the continent, many could become a warrior and a beast tamers through sheer luck or perseverance, but to be an alchemist needed more than just that—it needed innate talent. Even though there were only a few alchemists in the school, the Trinity College was the next best equipped compared to the other schools in the Government League
Cielo placed the Night-Luminescent Pearl, given by Velicia, on the candlestick on the wall and used the dim light to examine the secret chamber. The secret chamber was very narrow, less than two meters in length and width, and less than three meters in height.There was only a round futon in the secret room. Cielo walked over to the mat and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he saw a faint blue light floating in the secret chamber.“What’s this?”‘Touch it.’ Rito answered in his mind in a sleepy tone; he liked the dense energy here.Cielo extended his finger and a strand of blue light coiled around his fingertip. When he sensed the energy’s fluctuation from the light, Cielo realized that it was the energy of someone with strength at least a Divine Tier and at most a God Tier.Cielo hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed in gratitude toward the light. Only then did he sit cross-legged on the praying mat again to consume the energy as his own before he started the refining of t
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.On the last day of the year, it snowed heavily at Trinity College. The weather was very cold, but in order to earn points, the students still had to brave the snowstorm to go to the back mountain to do misCielo stood on the balcony and looked up at the snow. Only then did he realize that it was the end of the year.Cielo suddenly thought of the time when he was young and spent the New Year with his little sister and mother while his father and his new son were happily dining at the clan’s main house. His mind wandered to his past life, making him shake his head immediately.Velicia had left the Trinity College a few days ago. She went out to do some work for the Aberon Clan and returned today. When she came back, she saw Cielo standing on the balcony of the dormitory while admiring the snow.Seeing that Cielo was only wearing a warm gray sweater and not a coat, Velicia frowned and said, “Cielo, come in quickly. It’s cold outside.”C
Three days after the Ranking Tournament, an incident wracked Trinity College. Apparently, Lexa suffered a lightning tribulation after forcibly absorbing a beast’s core in hopes to level up her tier. The result led to the current situation—her grandfather, the Patriarch of the Liam Clan, came knocking on Trinity College with a deep frown he could master.“How can you call yourself teachers and principal when you cannot even stop the tribulation from hurting my daughter? Expelling her is not enough! Now, you want to cripple her as well? Is this really the Trinity College?”Upon hearing this, Professor He Xiaosi laughed out of anger. “As warriors, who don’t rely on their own abilities to withstand Tribulation lightning?”Thinking of Gregor Liam’s dirty past, Professor He Xiaosi’s face revealed a hint of mockery. He said meaningfully, “Patriarch Gregor Liam, have you forgotten that the reason you were able to sit on the seat of the patriarch of the Liam Clan was due to the tribulation lig
Qiao Ye looked at Cielo in a daze. He lowered his head and cast his line of sight down to his own two hands that were still trembling slightly.He lost!He was defeated so thoroughly without a chance of turning the tides!“What is this? Cielo won?”The audience erupted. Words of disbelief and cheers for the victor collided. Those who were still dazed were the people who had mocked Cielo Regalia a few minutes ago. And those who were applauding were the silent spectators who were waiting and hoping for Cielo Regalia to rise amid adversity.Another student answered with a sneer. “Of course! Are you blind? Wasn’t it obvious enough?”“No, it’s just that I find it too hard to believe! Our Trinity College’s peerless genius has actually been defeated just like that.”“Cielo is the true peerless genius! That was too amazing! I have decided that he will be my idol from now on.”In the audience area facing the stage, there were currently a lot of discussions going around and voices were being ra
At present, Velicia’s pupils contracted and her fists clenched slightly. She was feeling very nervous as she watched Cielo battle onstage. As long as Cielo refused to use the full potential of God’s Eyes, everything was dangerous.‘What is your plan, Cielo?’ Velicia could only ask herself.James began to wail. “Oh no, Cielo! It’s too dangerous! It’s too dangerous!”Niel Klyn steadily kept his eyes on the duel without uttering a word.With a few quick pierce and slash of his sword, Cielo finally managed to make the Battle Wolf retreat.Although his exchange of blows with the Battle Wolf was brief, Cielo alone was the most aware of the danger they contained. If he had wielded his sword just a little slower or if his energy was just a tad weaker, he would have already lost at this moment.Cielo narrowed his eyes at the mark the whip left on the ground. If his steps had been just a second slower, would that whip have slashed her face instead of the ground? It seems as though Qiao Ye had d
The people in the audience had changed the direction of their thoughts a thousand times since the duel started, but the two individuals onstage dueling didn’t have such complicated thoughts. They were busy exchanging blows.The golden whip and the Vanquisher met mid-air and collided over and over. Now, the golden whip entangled itself around the Vanquisher. The ray of white light emitted from this prolonged contact was very dazzling.James, who was sitting next to Velicia, looked at the latter with sparkling eyes. “I know Cielo is strong, but I never knew that he has made this progress already!”Velicia puffed her chest and raised her chin. “This much is not yet Cielo’s true form. After all, he is yet to use any technique or skill. He is just merely gauging Qiao Ye’s pattern of attacks.”Amazed by the answer he got from Velicia, the three boys gaped in disbelief! Just how strong Cielo was?On the stage, Qiao Ye snorted and used his strength to pull back the golden whip in an attempt t
Despite this, many people were anticipating the duel between Qiao Ye and Cielo. Qiao Ye was a prominent figure in Lovo Region after all. He was known as a peerless genius and had always been put on a pedestal. He was the individual the students of Trinity College always looked up to—the number one in the rankings.Cielo himself was no lightweight. The moment he entered Trinity College, he was taken in by He Xiaosi as his disciple. Naturally, he also possessed her own extraordinariness. Thinking about it, his cultivation would definitely not be weak with him being one of the two rare Class S potential warriors.During a duel between two strong people, spectators always hoped to catch a glance of their exceptional elegance.Cielo did not tell James or Jason why he did this unexpected challenge. He did not plan to tell them that it was a moment of craziness that made him steal Velicia’s supposed challenge toward Qiao Ye. Maybe, just maybe, the anger in him exploded ever since he witnesse
Cielo stood in the air while the black-feathered wings on his back completely unfurled. For a moment, the entire sky above the arena was covered by those wings.Staring at the pair of wings on Cielo’s back, Hector praised Cielo. “What a lucky fellow, he actually obtained a pair of wings!”Shera’s gaze flickered. Although she didn’t say anything, her eyes were filled with envy.Cielo circulated all the spirit energy in his body. The feathers on his wings also started to tremble without any wind. The feathers fell one by one and floated beside Cielo.When the last feather fell, Cielo suddenly raised his arms and yelled the skill’s name. “Heart Piercing Arrows!”Under the effect of energy force, the thousands of feathers turned into sharp blades. The blades were like arrows that had been released from the bow while flying toward Niel Klyn’s scissor beast form.The scissors and the wind blade began to fight in the air, and it was hard to tell who was winning or losing.Niel Klyn had not s
