2024-12-17 17:23:15Cyrus calmed his heart and said loudly, "Let's talk if you have something to say. I didn't ruin your traps on purpose. I can't possibly be courting death by stepping into your trap, right? It was all an accident!"
"Accident? I clearly saw you running into my trap directly. Do you think you can make an excuse, and I'll let you go?"
Cyrus frowned. He wanted to say that traps are meant to be hard to see, but this person clearly had a different opinion. It was pointless to argue, so Cyrus took a deep breath and responded, "Fine, believe what you want. But what do you plan to do now? Keep me here forever because of an 'accident'?"
Saying this, he leaped, stepping firmly on the ground. Then he lowered his body, gathered all his strength, and shot out like a bow released from its string. With lightning speed, he struck the young man's body!
"Bam!"
The young man was caught off guard, forced back a few steps. He was not a novice. Although he was forced retreat, he still reacted immediately and caught hold of Cyrus. Then, with surprising strength, he hurled Cyrus into the air.
Cyrus flew backward, crashing into a tree with a loud "bang".
He groaned in pain before struggling slowly to get back on his feet.
As he raised his head, his eyes fell on the roasted meat lying not far from him. The tempting aroma reached his nose again, but despite his hunger, he didn't move toward it.
Cyrus shuddered suddenly when he felt the sharp, piercing gaze of the young man. He knew he wasn't a match for him. He got desperate. In the end, he extended a hand and shouted, "Enough! I told you I didn't mean to step into your trap, so stop pushing me. Besides, I'm starving and don't have any strength left. Is it fair for you to mistreat me like this?"
The young man froze at Cyrus's words, then clenched his teeth, eyes cold. "Fine! Eat first. I'll beat you up after you fill your damn stomach!"
Cyrus was taken aback.
Did he hear it right? The other party was actually letting him eat!
He was momentarily stunned before he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, saying: "Thank you!"
Then, he impatiently walked towards the roasted meat. Then he tore off another leg of the wild boar before wolfing it down. His eyes were red, as if he had not eaten anything in years.
Well, in one sense, it was true though.
From the moment he was abandoned by his father, he never had meat in his meal even once before. All he had eaten was vegetation brought by his mother.
When the young man saw how Cyrus was eating, he held his forehead and sighed helplessly. He said: "Hey, slow down. You are acting as if someone is going to snatch the meat from you. No one will steal the roasted meat from you. Eat slowly and patiently."
Cyrus subconsciously held back a little and slowed down his chewing speed. However, compared to a normal person, he was still eating much faster.
After a long while, Cyrus alone finished two-thirds of the roasted boar. He was finally full. He patted his stomach and burped, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Are you full?" The young man glanced at him indifferently and began to twist his wrist, ready to beat him up.
Cyrus immediately laughed bitterly when he saw this. He said: "Brother, I have not digested all the food I have eaten, can you wait for me to rest first?"
"Humph!" The young man clenched his fist and gritted his teeth as he shouted, "Rest? There is no need for that. I'll help you digest everything real quick."
Saying that, he suddenly leaned forward, took large strides, and directly punched straight toward Cyrus's chest.
Cyrus hurriedly stood up, his fists clenched tightly as he met the young man's iron fists head-on.
"Bam!"
The impact of their clash sent powerful airwaves rippling outward.
Cyrus's strength was no match for the young man's. He was sent flying, his body crashing into the ground. Pain shot through his hands, and he could swear his fist bones had shattered. He screamed in pain and his whole body wracked with agony. The force of the blow churned his stomach, making him feel like he was about to vomit all the food he'd just eaten.
"Humph, I didn't expect your fist to be this strong. It actually didn't break. Come again!" The young man gathered strength, and then he stepped forward again.
Cyrus had no choice but to dodge his attack this time. He knew he could not afford to take a direct hit.
But he was still unable to dodge, for the young man appeared in front of Cyrus once again.
Another loud "boom" was heard, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking. The violent air current suddenly swept in all directions, completely sending Cyrus flying.
He fell to the ground, smashing the earth until it caved in.
"Arghhh!"
Cyrus clutched at his arm and screamed miserably as he rolled on the ground.
Fortunately, the young man no longer attacked him. Maybe he knew Cyrus had reached his limit, he sat down without saying anything. From his face, he seemed to be waiting for Cyrus to recover before beating him again.
After a long while, Cyrus stood up, and the young man also stood up.
Cyrus was ready to suffer again, but this time, the young man didn't attack. He just stared at Cyrus for a while before sighing.
The anger in his eyes faded. Finally, he curled his lips and said, "Although I didn't use Star Energy, my physical strength is no less than a Level 6 Third-tier Star Warrior. I thought my body was strong enough but never thought that you would be able to withstand my attacks. Forget it, I don't want to beat you anymore. If this continues, then I might accidentally cripple you."
Cyrus was finally relieved and felt some goodwill towards this youth. After all, though it was an accident, it is a fact that he offended this boy in the beginning by destroying his trap. And this youth still let him eat, treated him fairly, and did not launch a sneak attack.
He was thinking that if this young man threw out a few more of those terrifying bombs, he may have been finished.
"Thank you for your understanding. I apologize for accidentally destroying your trap." Cyrus smiled, and asked curiously: "I wonder what your name is, and why would you be here alone?"
"Tch!" The young man waved his hand with disdain: "You don't need to know why I'm here. I'm called Lucas, what's your name?"
Cyrus said indifferently: "My name is Cyrus, Cyrus Velkyn."
"Oh." Lucas casually replied before he sat on the ground and picked up the wooden thorns that had not been sharpened, continuing to polish them leisurely.
Curiosity flashed in Cyrus's eyes. He was unable to guess where Lucas came from.
However, he had a good impression of Lucas. In his eyes, Lucas can speak boldly and frankly. This kind of person was carefree and open, obviously not some evil villain.
Moreover, he was also filled with curiosity about those terrifying objects that could overturn a piece of land by exploding. On earth, other than real bombs and some technological devices, he had never heard of a weapon being able to achieve such an effect.
Therefore, he took the initiative to express his goodwill. He smiled and sat in front of Lucas. A bright light could be seen flashing in his eyes as he questioned: "Lucas, earlier, what kind of weapon did you use to lay down that trap? That was too scary!"
Lucas didn't even raise his head as he continued to grind the wood. He curled his lips and said, "Even if I told you this, you wouldn't understand. After all, you are just a Level 2 Third-tier Star Warrior."
"But I'll still tell you that trap's name. It was called Explosion Runes."
Cyrus was startled for a moment, and then he laughed bitterly with an ignorant face: "Runes? I have never heard of it before. What is it?"
"There are many professions in our world. Weapon Refiner, Pill Refiner, and Formation Master are three of those professions. The rarest among them all is Rune Master. Let's not talk about it in detail!" Lucas still did not raise his head and explained indifferently.
Cyrus no longer asked about the Rune Master profession. He shifted to his main goal and tried to get to know some information about this world.
After talking to Lucas for a while, the ignorant Cyrus comes to know a few things.
It turns out that this world is called Ecaz. Unlike Earth, Planet Ecaz is still in the initial stage of development in terms of science and technology. However, when it comes to Star Warriors and cultivation, Planet Ecaz far surpassed Earth.
It is no wonder why Cyrus didn't see anything related to science and technology till now.

From the way Lucas was speaking, Cyrus felt as though Lucas looked down even on First-tier Star Warriors. It should be noted that Cyrus's father, the Lord of Velkyn Mansion, was also a First-tier Star Warrior and considered a powerful figure in all of Star City back on Earth.No matter how Cyrus looked at it, Lucas's background had to be terrifying.As they continued talking, Lucas suddenly realized that he had been speaking a lot with someone who had ruined the trap he had painstakingly set up.His expression froze for a moment, then a sinister smile crept onto his face as he laughed and said, "Don't think that I have a good temper just because I'm talking nicely."Lucas's overbearing words shocked Cyrus. It shook him to his core.At that very moment, Lucas suddenly gritted his teeth and angrily smashed his fist into the ground. His face twisted with a frustrated expression as he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Speaking of which, I'm still furious. I put a lot of effort into setting up that t
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 15: Fire Origin Beast
The Fire Origin Beast liked to devour fire-attribute treasures. Therefore, Lucas prepared a pile of Blazing Nine Leaf Grass.He carefully buried these items at the center of the trap, with some scattered across several locations. Moreover, he concealed them with extreme precision to prevent the Fire Origin Beast from consuming all the bait in one go, ensuring there would still be time to act if needed.Everything was ready. The only thing left was for the Fire Origin Beast to come and take the bait.The two of them climbed a tall tree and lay down on the treetop. They hid their auras completely as well and started waiting.Night soon fell. A curtain of darkness enveloped the entire forest. The bait had been set up. The two of them were hiding on the treetops and were waiting. Everything was calm as usual.After four more hours, there was still no movement. At this time, Cyrus had already relaxed to the point of falling asleep."Sizzle! Sizzle!"Lucas's eyes were also closed, but sudde
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 16: Another Fire Origin Beast
Cyrus saw that Lucas was using his sharp dagger to cut open a layer of the Fire Origin Beast's flesh and throwing all of them to the side. After a while, a glowing object surfaced at the center of the Fire Origin Beast's chest. It was actually a scalding crystal.Lucas reached out to this crystal and took it in his hand. Immediately, his hand burned to the point of crying out loud. Unable to control it, he quickly threw the crystal onto the ground."Chii!"The surroundings of the crystal suddenly caught fire and turned a patch of grass into ashes. Lucas used a lot of force to stomp it out. After half an hour, the Fire Origin Beast's core finally lost some of its heat. Only then did Lucas take out a small metal box from the ring and put it away.Following that, he turned his head to see Cyrus still standing quietly on the spot. He pointed to the ground and said, "Collect all of the Fire Origin Beast's meat. If you use these as food, it will allow you to increase your strength by a lot.
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 17: Dangerous Situation
The Fire Origin Beast crazily shook its body, raised its head, and roared, causing its sound to shake the surroundings violently.Cyrus's eardrums almost burst out in an instant. Blood flowed out of his ears automatically which made him panic.At this time, the Fire Origin Beast continued to roar, and its body suddenly shot out rays of hot light."Boom!"As if Cyrus was its target, he felt a huge impact on his body, and the next instant, his body was suddenly sent flying.He landed on the ground and rolled out a few meters. His body was directly pierced by the scorching rays of light, leaving many bloody holes. The pain was most likely even worse than the explosion that he was caught upon before!It was also at this moment that Lucas sprung up from behind the gigantic shield. His legs seemed to be stepping on some kind of magnet as he rose in the air. His bloodthirsty eyes stared indifferently at the crazily roaring Fire Origin Beast. He was filled with pride and arrogance. Holding on
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 18: Lucas's Astonishment
Only the Third-tier Star Warriors stepped forward, knowing that these two boys were completely immobilized. Taking care of them would be effortless.Cyrus lowered his head, lost in thought.One of the Star Warriors glanced at Lucas, who was lying on the ground. He coldly raised his foot, preparing to step on him."Crack!"Just then, the sound of his knuckles cracking pierced through the air. Cyrus's hands clenched into fists. He lifted his head; his eyes were blazed with fury as he stared at his opponent."Yaa!"Cyrus's body shot forward like a bolt of lightning, directly toward the man poised to strike Lucas. No one could comprehend where he found the strength; though severely injured, his movements were remarkably swift. In the blink of an eye, his fist collided with the man's chest, forcing a pained scream from his lips. The man's chest caved inward from the impact, and he was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth.At that moment, Cyrus stood tall, despite the pain in his lowe
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 19: Forging A Sword
Lucas was astonished to the point where his mouth opened so wide that a duck's egg could fit inside. That pair of eyes were glazed to the extreme.He couldn't help but curse, "Monster!"Although he didn't understand the series of incidents that just happened in front of his eyes, he could still tell that Cyrus was now completely fine for some reason, and even his strength increased by two levels.Cyrus opened his eyes and let out a deep breath. He was very calm.Lucas came back to his senses. He pinched the tip of his nose, looked at Cyrus with an unbelievable gaze, and asked with a puzzled expression: "How did you do it?""What?" Cyrus asked, looking confused."Your injuries... they were so severe, but all your injuries recovered just like that under the halo of golden glow!" As Lucas said, he realized something and spoke again: "Wait! Golden glow? It disappeared! This...""Care to explain?"Cyrus understood what Lucas wanted to know.He would, of course, not tell Lucas the truth. He
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 20: Level 6 Third-tier Star Warrior
The Golden Dragon Pearl was obviously mysterious. For now, Cyrus knows nothing about this treasure aside from the fact that it could help him recover from injuries.Back then, when he wanted to leave the valley, the Golden Dragon Pearl directly teleported him to this Black Mountain Ridge. Clearly, there must be a reason.Now that he felt a kind of summoning, he wanted to go there immediately. However, his strength was still too low, and this forest was too dangerous. It is not a wise decision to move alone carelessly, primarily when he doesn't know anything about the surroundings.Still, Cyrus was hesitating whether to go or not, and if he should bring Lucas along.While he was still in thought, Lucas was done forging a sword.This sword's blade was snow white in color, but it also had a one-centimeter-wide thin red line in the middle. As for its handle, it was red, exuding a fierce yet sharp aura."Hey!"Lucas held the sword in his hand and observed it carefully before calling out to
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 21: Cunning Beasts
Cyrus turned around and shot forward like an arrow, running away as fast as he could, afraid that he would be a step too late."Hiss!"The Frigid Blood Green Lizard pressed its body close to the ground and charged forward at lightning speed.It was light and fast!At that moment, it seemed to have teleported to a spot not even a foot behind Cyrus, stuck its head out, and released a mouthful of cold air.Cyrus's heart pounded frantically as a cold sweat broke out all over his body. An icy chill seemed to invade his very core, causing his movements to slow and leaving him vulnerable.He collapsed to the ground, quickly turning and clenching his fist. His expression was grave. He knew the situation had become critical. With no way to escape, he steeled himself for the impending battle.Gathering every ounce of strength left in him, Cyrus channeled it into his fist, ready to strike. However, he held back, waiting for the Frigid Blood Lizard to make the first move. He knew that if he attac

He's now on the verge of entering the ranks of experts at Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior.""How can that be? I can't help but wonder; does he truly possess such strength, or is something fishy going on?""I don't know, but cheating is highly improbable. You should know that the Golden Monument is a treasure left behind from the Age of Gods. There is no way someone could tamper with it.

He is clearly just a First-tier Star Warrior, yet he reached a ranking where only Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior could possibly rank!""Who knows!"Everyone became nervous.

Ch 36: The System's Interference
"Top 200?"Wan sneered silently when he heard the crowd. As a Level 4 First-tier Star Warrior, he was able to rank 285th after erupting with all his strength. Cyrus was only a 1 First-tier Star Warrior. His name should not have even appeared on the Golden Monument, let alone rank in the Top 200.There must be something strange about his name not only appearing on the Golden Monument but also rising up constantly.While Wan was still sneering inwardly, to everyone's shock, Cyrus's name soon rose to rank 200 and was still rising upward, not showing any sign of stopping at all. Not long after that, his name crossed the 100th position as well."Top 100?""Oh my god, A Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior can actually rank in the top 100. How can this be true? My eyes must have gone blind. I'm seeing things."Everyone thought they'd gone crazy and were seeing things, not able to bring themselves to believe in their eyes.On the other hand, the Golden Monument kept flashing with a name constantl
Ch 35: The Crowd's Shock
Cyrus shifted his attention and saw three hundred names listed on the surface of the Golden Monument. The names belonged to young people who had the qualifications to participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition.Among these people, the weakest was a Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior."Are these the top ten?"Cyrus glanced at the top row of the Golden Monument. Ten names were written there in shiny golden characters. Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on them, full of respect.Cyrus curiously looked at the name ranked first. Dylan Lydall's name was purple gold. Among the 300 names, his name was the most dazzling. He was also a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior and the contestant who was most likely to win the championship.Cyrus frowned slightly and nodded. This Dylan was truly impressive. At only 28 years old, he had already reached the level of a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior. His talent was undeniable. To put this into perspective, his father, the Lord of Star City back on Earth, wa

At that moment, Cyrus understood that unless the mystery surrounding the crystal was uncovered, there would be no chance of him purchasing it from Marcus.But Cyrus wasn't ready to give up. As long as he could examine the crystal, the system might reveal its true nature and value to him. He knew he could not let go of this god-given opportunity. Although very low, there is indeed some probability of success.Determined, he asked again, "Then... can you at least let me see the crystal? I want to take a closer look."Marcus hesitated, his expression uncertain. Sensing this, Cyrus shook his head and spoke firmly, "If you want my help, you should at least show some sincerity. If you can't even let me see the crystal, why should I risk my life to help you?"What would he gain from helping them?Just a reward and a favor.Perhaps, Cyrus's background was so extraordinary that he didn't consider their favor worth anything at all."That crystal is with Chris. He took it with him to Ten Thousan
Ch 33: Oval-shaped Crystal
"What kind of place is Ten Thousand Abyss City?" Cyrus couldn’t help but ask.Marcus took a deep breath before replying, "I can only tell you that this city is extremely dangerous. The main reason is that it lies at the intersection of four regions of Light Wind Empire. One of these regions is our Green Wood Region.""The Hidden Dragon Competition isn't limited to the geniuses of the Green River Region in the Light Wind Empire; it's a contest among the brightest talents from all four regions, which is why it's held in Ten Thousand Abyss City.""As for why this city is so perilous, you'll know once you go there."Cyrus nodded thoughtfully. By now, he already knew that the Light Wind Empire had a total of four regions. Each region had hundreds of huge cities and towns. Aside from the Green Wood Region, there were the Red Flame Region, the Blue Water Region, and the Silver Thunder Region. There was a significant reason why each region was named after a color and an element. This was due

Cyrus was stunned, but he soon noticed aside from him no one else reacted. It was as if they were used to it.This was the truth.Marcus explained and Cyrus soon understood everything.It turned out that every red light appears from the card only when the participant is a First-tier Star Warrior. When the participant is a Blue Spirit Star Warrior, a very deep blue light would appear. Different colors represent different stages of cultivation.The light serves as proof of one's identity as a participant in the Hidden Dragon Competition. When the competition begins, the light will automatically activate at the checkpoint, granting the individual access to the competition stage."Alright, you can leave now."The old man waved his hand. Yusuf walked down the stage happily. His strength was neither high nor low."Next."Immediately, a young girl walked up from below. She was seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was round, and her eyes were blinking, shining brightly. She was a beauty.
Ch 31: Genetic Fluids
Upon entering Green Star City, Cyrus and Marcus were immediately greeted by a scene of endless prosperity and lively activity. Luxury cars streamed along the streets, which were crowded with people going about their day. Both sides of the main street were lined with vibrant shops. The air was filled with the constant sound of vendors calling out, advertising their goods, and adding to the city's energetic atmosphere."Let's find a restaurant to eat and rest for a while. Then I'll bring you to the place of registration."Since leaving Riverside City in the morning until now, the group had been hurrying on their way, and they were already exhausted. Although Marcus didn't need the food with his strength, others needed it. Therefore, Marcus and the others found a restaurant to eat and rest in so that they could relieve their fatigue.After some time, they finished their meal and, after taking a brief rest, got up and left......"Cyrus, this is the Eastern Garden.

The black-robed man walked into the inn. He was slightly chubby, with an appearance and aura so ordinary that no one would have paid much attention to him. A simple, long blade hung on his back; there was nothing remarkable about it.As soon as he entered, some of the people in the inn glanced over out of habit. When they saw his plain appearance and felt his weak aura, most of them lost interest and went back to their drinks and conversations.But there were a few who observed him more carefully. Their eyes widened with sudden recognition, and a spark of curiosity lightened up in their gaze. They exchanged quick glances, acknowledging something, and then, with silent understanding, looked away, pretending nothing had happened.The man in the black robe was Chris. He had come to the inn under his father's orders to complete an important mission. It was urgent, and he had to stay under the radar. His identity had to remain a secret, no matter what. So, he made sure not to draw attentio

"What are you laughing at?"Lucy stared at Cyrus with her bright and limpid eyes and asked naively."I'm just happy!"Cyrus raised his eyebrows, looked at Lucy, and shook his head. The smile on his face became even brighter."Happy?"Lucy was stunned, not understanding what made Cyrus so happy."Yes, I'm happy?"Cyrus nodded with a bright smile and spoke. His words made Lucy roll her eyes, and then, a smile also bloomed on her face. She elegantly flicked the swaying strand of long hair behind her ears, but soon regained her natural composure."Let's have our meal!"Cyrus spoke and started eating.In the next moment, Lucy’s jaw dropped as she stared at Cyrus in surprise. It is because when Cyrus saw the steak made from demonic beast meat, he didn't bother with a ettiquet. Instead, he stabbed it with a fork and started chewing as if it were a piece of flatbread."Mmm, this is delicious!"Even though he was having dinner with a stunning beauty, Cyrus seemed completely at ease. While still
