The valley Lord chuckled coldly."Indeed, a calf doesn't know to be afraid of a lion, nor does a newly hatched chick fear the hawk. Commendable, even if you die here today, at least, you would have made a deep impression on everyone present," he said with a smile, shooting colored gasses at Anthony.Anthony gasped in excitement, watching the technique being used by the valley Lord. It was obviously the technique he came for.He dodged the streak just in time, while throwing his fists towards the valley Lord, reflecting his attacks back to him. But rather than hurt him, he simply inhaled the toxins back into his body."Amazing! Such a great technique. No wonder you're not willing to share it with anybody. However, I must learn this technique today, old cross eyed geezer," Anthony mocked, running round the hall while avoiding the man's attack.This continued for an hour, infuriating the valley Lord.Rather than kill Anthony, he only ended up damaging the ancestral hall severely while ki
Anthony quickly shot to his feet, crossing his hands before him to ward off the old man's attacks.The bracelet on his wrist emitted a golden glow, protecting him.However, he was still thrown up in the air, crashing against the wall, showing that the power disparity between them was too much.Anthony coughed up blood, getting to his feet.He wiped his mouth with his right palm, facing off against the old man who was already sending a thunder fist towards him.He quickly defended with his left hand wearing the bracelet while the right hand instinctively punched out to ward off the man's attacks.Surprisingly, a red streak of light was emitted from Anthony's signet ring, hitting the old man squarely on the chest, thereby pushing him back a few feets."Ancestor!" Everyone in the room shouted in shock, staring at the old man in shock.They were not the only ones surprised.Anthony was staring at the golden ring on his fingers which had a huge block of ruby designing it.His brows furrowe
The Poison Valley ancestor noticed the smile on Anthony's face and scoffed."Hm! I'm sure it feels quite good to act as you please. However, wipe that annoying smirk on your face, I might be tempted to wash it away and damn the consequences," he said in irritation.Anthony furrowed his brows for a while before he quickly realized what his happy smile looked like to them."Ancestor, I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. I wouldn't dare. I was just happy because he swore not to assist me, telling me I'm on my own. So seeing him here in the nick of time made me relieved, he came after all. He probably said it so that I won't relax on the way and assume he's following me. I'm just relieved he changed his mind about guiding me," He quickly explained, looking at them.Anthony knew that if he continued to act arrogant without giving them face, they would do everything to sabotage him out of spite.When you push a man to the wall, gauging his actions is quite difficult. So he would rather not m
"Congratulations on successfully passing your first transmigration mission. You have been awarded three heaven-ranked scriptures," the system announced, startling Anthony."You shitty, perverted system, I thought you have been disabled for good. Hmph!" He complained, feeling upset."Don't blame me, you insisted on coming here," the system reminded lazily."You didn't tell me learning it will be different from other times," he argued back."You didn't ask. It's too late to argue, it is what it is. But you should be thanking me, you came on such an exciting adventure, increasing your life experience, meeting new people, enjoying foreign delicacies that you probably would not have been privileged to taste in ten lifetimes. And most importantly, you finally got to meet the mastermind. Even if it was only his voice projection, at least, it gave you an idea of how powerful he is. He keeps an eye on whoever he wants to, no matter the distance. Do you know how many people will kill ten thousa
Anthony furrowed his brows in confusion."What do you mean? You asked me not to take any weapons to avoid incurring their wrath. Besides, time is of the essence, I want to leave," Anthony replied in irritation, obviously fed up with the system's mischievous behavior."Short-sighted, are we? Do you know the kind of treasure trove they just delivered to you? It will be quite a waste not to take advantage of it all. If you take the weapons, they will immediately realize that something got missing. But if you learn the technique, how will they know you stole their techniques? You must quickly help yourself to them, all these are priceless techniques and formulas. No one needs to know you took them, unless you tell them of course. Even if you don't have suitable weapons to go with them now, it's still very useful. You can even chance upon compatible weapons to combine them with. If you come across a technique you don't like, just learn it and cram it, scan the information and store them in
The guards continued to laugh, pointing at his fingers, making Anthony follow the line of their fingers.His eyes settled on the Poison Lord's ring on his fingers. The beautiful jade ring was designed with pink diamonds and rubies, along with some intricate formations and patterns drawn on it, making it a perfect picture of artistic sophistication.It was obviously a woman's ring, one of the blings they use to beautify themselves."Look at that, he's obsessed with jewelry. His wrists and fingers are filled with shiny jewels. The ancestor told him to take any weapon he sees on the poison technique's altar, and he rushed to the beautiful piece of jewelry," a guard said, nearly crying from mirth."He's obsessed with shiny things, overlooking the useful weapons there. He must think that the ring is like his bracelet which the emperor took time to modify,""What else do you expect from an over pampered sissy? He's not lacking weapons anyway. I'm sure that his master can find him any weapon
Anthony looked carefully at the sumptuous meal before him, there was exactly one half of a full chicken, properly grilled,in the middle of the bowl of white rice decorated with peas. There was sauce, vegetable soups cooked with beef and offals, there were also light pastries and rice wine.'Is this what they call properly feeding and fattening the chicken before it's slaughtered?' Anthony mused, watching the heavy tray of delicious looking meals, with tantalizing aromas wafting out of them. The pastries looked like meatloaf, its filling was made with diced meat, carrots, leek, onions and pepper, and seemed to contain some fat that made it look chewy, it was a delicacy that Anthony can never resist under normal circumstances. He would have dived on it the moment he sat down if not for the discussion he heard.He took a deep breath and looked up at Bing Yu. She had a determined look on her face as if she finally came to peace with a tough decision.'Yeah right, I'm sure it must be hard
Bing Yu turned to Anthony with a speed that nearly made her neck snap. "Really? Can you really do that for me?" She asked, her eyes beating wildly in excitement."I'm not sure because I came alone. But he's a child, so I'm a little confident that I can carry him across since his weight is still bearable. But I wouldn't be able to take an adult along because of gravity, so don't get too hopeful. It can only be Mo Lan," Anthony quickly said, trying to dispel her infectious excitement.Bing Yu quickly got down on her knees before Anthony, hitting her head on the floor with a kind of force that made Anthony scream in shock."Please benefactor, take my son away from here. If you can help him get out of this hellhole, preserving his life and granting him better opportunities to excel, see the world and live life to the fullest, I will die a happy mother. I'm broken and helpless, our family has been singled out by brother Xi Wu for sometime, trying to frustrate us. I don't really mind it sin
