Luke watched carefully as the three experts used the Chain of Destiny to subjugate the Dark One. There was no record of such a thing, so this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He saw a piece of history that had been lost to time. Any cultivator who wanted to reach the top of the Aurora Continent would have killed to see this scene. Crash! Crash!Luke waited for the moment when the experts would make their next move to utterly defeat the Dark One. Would they use seals or some other secret technique? But his dreams were shattered. The scene before his eyes began to crumble, and he couldn't see what happened next. It was like a mirror shattering into a thousand pieces.The scene disappeared completely and he returned to the previous darkness with the woman dressed in white. Why did it have to stop at the best part? There was no need to tease him like this."What do you have against me? I wanted to see what happened next." Luke was outraged by the situation. He was no different tha
Luke wiped the fresh blood from his mouth. Although he had been in the space with the woman in white for almost an hour, only a few minutes had passed in the real world.The mastery over the time element of the person who created this place was extremely high. Luke tried several ways to return to that place, but to no avail.Apparently, he could only enter if one of the seals was broken to obtain the legacy of the Great Amethyst Empire. There was also the possibility that the woman in white could let him in, but she didn't seem to want to because of how weak Luke was. Either way, the conclusion was the same in both cases. He had to become stronger to get more treasures like the Chain of Destiny. Now he was more motivated than ever. With the treasures of the Great Amethyst Empire, even a monkey could crush The Circle with enough time. He could almost see their faces of fear and surprise when he completely destroyed them.Luke stroked the tattoo he now had on his right wrist. It still
Both managed to get out of Ludwit City undetected by any of the guards. Luke was getting faster and faster, taking advantage of the fact that he now had a constant supply of World Energy, which forced Adam to push Thunder Rupture to the limit in order not to be left behind. Thanks to this, he could feel his understanding of Thunder Rupture improving bit by bit. The best way to improve one's understanding of spells was to study them and then put that knowledge into practice in extreme situations. That was Luke's training plan for him. Since they didn't have much time, he had to use unconventional methods to train him and prepare him to fight for the position of Patriarch of the Rockwell Family. That's why he pushed him to the limit from the beginning. He could see Adam struggling to keep up with him, but he kept accelerating. Compared to what was to come, this was child's play. There was no way he wanted to be near the lake where the Dark One was sealed, so he headed in the opposit
"You suck at fighting, but the good news is you're not a lost cause. With a little push, you can pick it up in no time." Luke said sincerely, his shortcomings could be made up for by his enormous talent.Adam smiled bitterly. He could already imagine the hellish training his master had in store for him. But he was right. In order not to attract attention, he always presented himself as a weakling. As a result, he almost never participated in fights or sparring, so he was lacking in that regard.To be honest, although he hated the training method his master had chosen, he was happy to feel that he was getting stronger. He desperately wanted to become stronger, so he was willing to face this hell every day if that was the result."Catch it. Put it on your wounds." Luke tossed him a vial of medicinal ointment. His wounds were minor, but it was best to treat them so they wouldn't interfere with his training. Although he was poor, he was willing to spend a little so as not to delay his pl
Luke and Adam's days went by like this. Adam felt that each day brought him closer to death, but he also felt that he was closer to the power he craved. It was only because of this that he was able to endure this hellish training.The effects of the training were obvious. Although he had not been able to kill a Spark Leopard on his own, the wounds he had received had been greatly reduced. During these days, he had also learned to use World Energy with the thunder element to attack without the need for spells.The reason he was unable to inflict more damage on the Spark Leopards had less to do with his fighting prowess and more to do with the fact that he was only at the Second Rank. Still, Luke was pleased with the progress Adam was making these days.For his part, Luke, in addition to making sure Adam's life was not in danger, was busy gathering materials and testing the limits of the Chain of Destiny. Both brought him pleasant surprises.He needed money to fund the next steps of his
Those words in the note sent Elder Mylah over the edge. Adam felt like his organs were about to explode from the pressure of Elder Mylah's World Energy.Boom!Finally unable to contain her fury, she sent Adam flying into the wall of her courtyard. No one in the entire Rockwell Family dared to talk about this subject in front of her, but now this boy, who was nothing more than a bastard son, was doing it."Who sent you here? Do you think you can play games with me?! Tell me your true intentions or say goodbye to your meaningless life!" Elder Mylah had Adam by the throat as she said these words in a threatening tone.The anger in her eyes and her killer instinct were palpable, it was clear that if he said one wrong word she would snap his neck like that of a chicken."My master sent me here. If Elder wants to know more, she will have to meet with him. I am only the messenger." Adam felt hurt inside. Ever since he had met Luke, he had been attacked again and again. He was no different th
"Let's say I accept your proposal and support this kid in the competition, how do you plan to accomplish it? I have to admit that his cultivation level is admirable considering the limited resources he has access to, but there are several in his same generation who are better than him. This was Elder Mylah's greatest concern.The day when the new Patriarch of the Rockwell Family would be chosen was just around the corner. She didn't understand how he could have him ready in such a short time. "Leave it to me. We've only been training for a short time, but this kid has shown a talent that is unmatched in all of Ludwit City. His cultivation level may fell short, but I'll make sure to give him the tools to ignore this gap. Show Elder Mylah what you have learned this week."Elder Mylah's eyes lit up after Adam followed the masked man's instructions. He had made great progress with Thunder Rupture these days, and now he was moving as fast as thunder.It was like a small thunderstorm in a
Elder Mylah nodded when she heard that the shop would be called Myriad Vault. It was impressive enough, just that there should only be treasures valuable enough that the name would not become an object of ridicule. At this point, she had no choice but to take Luke's word for it."All right, you better deliver, or I'll be the laughing stock of Ludwit City. It will take me a few weeks to get the shop ready, so you need to be ready when the time comes." Luke was satisfied with the timeline Elder Mylah gave him. He knew it would take time and a lot of work to get a shop with the characteristics he wanted, so this timeline was more than reasonable."I will continue to train this child every day so that his cultivation does not stagnate, and I will meet with you here once a week to discuss the progress of our plan. I hope we will have pleasant cooperation." While Elder Mylah surely knew of places where they could meet in secret, this alley was still more comfortable for Luke.Everyone agre
