“You—” Xavier froze in his tracks and his eyes widened significantly, seeing the scary scene before him.

Unlike what Frosh Junior had dreaded that caused him to take Laura hostage, Xavier hadn’t even had him in mind. Instead, he had merely wanted to help his mother back to her feet, yet…

Following Xavier’s shock, strong tremors coursed through his body and a cold sweat covered him.

He then glanced urgently at his mother, only to find her trembling with a look of horror and helples

  • Chapter 1118 – Only Frogs at The Bottom of The Well Believe That

    *****“I thought… the highest rank of cultivation is A-rank.”The moment these words left Cassandra’s mouth, it was as though a massive weight slid off her shoulders.She didn’t say anything else, but she didn’t need to.Everyone immediately grasped the implication of her words, and at that very instant, their brows furrowed again… this time far more deeply than before, their mouths dropping open.In the following second, their eyes became filled with dawning realization, and then, almost in unison, they turned back toward Xavier.‘Yes… that’s right.’‘If A-rank is already the peak… what unimaginable height is left?’‘Was that… a contradiction?’Confusion spread through the room in an instant like wildfire, their eyes squinting tightly, brimming with questions.None of them had considered this fact before… they had all been too overwhelmed by everything that had happened.But now that Cassandra had pointed it out, the inconsistency became impossible to ignore.Yes, none of

  • Chapter 1117 – “I Thought… The Highest Rank of Cultivation Is A-Rank”

    *****After recovering from the shock, Cassandra’s brows slowly drew together, a crease forming between them.She didn’t appear excited like her parents and brother, or the slightest bit jealous; instead, she looked… utterly perplexed right now.It was the expression of someone who had noticed a missing puzzle piece that everyone else had overlooked.She tried to dismiss the thought and tried to convince herself that she was merely overthinking it, but the more she tried, the more the question clawed at her mind.Eventually, she inhaled deeply, gathering her courage like someone preparing to jump off a cliff.Then she turned cautiously toward Xavier.“Sir… sir…” she stuttered.Her voice instantly drew everyone’s attention, prompting all heads to turn and every eye to shift.Even Paul momentarily paused.Xavier also looked at her, but his demeanor remained exactly the same as it had always been… calm, lazy, and unhurried, as though nothing in the world could surprise or press

  • Chapter 1116 – The Myrons’ Excitement

    *****Still inside the modest room… a space that now felt strangely warm, with not even the faintest trace of the suffocating yin energy that had once dominated it, the atmosphere had fallen into complete stillness.At this moment, every single person present, except Lyria, who remained asleep in Sage Myron’s arms with tear-stained lashes resting softly against her cheeks, appeared utterly dumbfounded.Their eyes were locked on Xavier, no one blinking, moving, or even breathing properly.Yes… all of them had anticipated that Xavier might offer some kind of solution for Paul’s predicament, but this?Not a single person present… not even for a fleeting second, had seen it coming.‘Sixth personal disciple.’The words echoed over and over again in their minds like a hammer striking metal, leaving them dazed and unable to regain their senses for what felt like an eternity.Then reactions finally surfaced.Sage Myron’s pupils shrank violently.Paul’s breathing hitched, his chest r

  • Chapter 1115 – Become My Sixth Personal Disciple

    *****Xavier’s tone remained calm, relaxed, and almost bored as it had always been… sounding like he was discussing the weather forecast.Yet the content of his words… it was so horrifying that every scalp couldn’t help but prickle.Once Xavier finished speaking, he fell silent.But he didn’t need to continue.The realization and its implications had already dawned on everyone.First, if Xavier hadn’t saved Paul today, he might as well not have survived at all. After all, by his recent words, Paul could only last twenty-five years… and those twenty-five years had already passed since he was turned into a cultivation vessel.Secondly, although Xavier had saved Paul… his very existence was still a danger.If another powerful unorthodox fighter… especially A-rank ones were to discover the truth about the physique, they would go to any extent to once again make him a cultivation physique, a prey, and a living prey.As soon as the room realized this, their gazes turned back toward

  • Chapter 1114 – Eternal Foundation Physique

    *****The onlookers’ breath escaped in silent, stunned exhales, and their eyes widened, a look of unmistakable amazement spreading across their faces, mixed with a faint shiver of awe that crept up their spines.But Xavier…He merely stared down at Paul with that same casual, relaxed, and almost lazy smile, as though what he had just done was nothing worth mentioning… like someone brushing dust off their sleeve.Then suddenly, he lifted his head and turned his gaze toward Sage Myron.“You recall earlier that I told you there is something else you can pay me with other than becoming my servant, no?” he asked lightly.Everyone, “_”Sage Myron, “_”For a brief moment, they all stared blankly at him, their expressions blank with confusion, their minds trying to connect the moment with his question.But then realization struck them.“Yes, sir,” Sage Myron responded quickly, stepping forward without hesitation. His tone carried both respect, reverence, and urgency. “Please, what i

  • Chapter 1113 – Paul’s Gratitude

    *****“She’s asleep.”Paul’s voice suddenly sounded, echoing gently, softly, and warmly.Yet it startled everyone present.Their attention immediately shifted toward him, only to find him staring down at Lyria with a gaze so tender that even children would have envied it.His eyes were filled with unquestionable love… the kind that declared without words that she was the most precious person in his world, promising that he would willingly trade his life to protect hers without hesitation.Without saying anything further, Paul slowly rose.•Despite his frail appearance… a body that looked like it might collapse under the slightest burden, he stood steadily, lifting Lyria along with him as though she weighed nothing at all.Then, moving carefully, deliberately, and without looking at anyone else, he walked toward his father.“Father, please hold her for me first,” he said softly.Sage Myron didn’t hesitate for even a second. He stepped forward and gently accepted Lyria into h
