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
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
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
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
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
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
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
“Look, Brother Ciel! The maple leaves are in full bloom again. It is the best time of the year to walk around. Come on and walk with me.” A sweet voice pulled Cielo from the abyss he was in. He opened his charred eyes with great difficulty, no matter how painful it was to peel his eyelids apart. The color of ash that filled Cielo’s vision did not dim the sparkle within his little sister’s eyes as she carefully lifted his body from the bed. Her movements were precise, a telltale sign that she was used to lifting him up from the bed onto the wheelchair. “I heard that you scared my friends again.” Shiela groaned playfully as she placed a blanket on his lap before guiding the wheelchair he was seated on to the shared balcony of the complex. “Brother Ciel, you can’t keep on scaring them. How can I work if I will worry about you all the time? What will we eat then? And what about your medicine?” ‘Shiela, you should leave me to die. You do not deserve a brother like me,’ Cielo could only
