Alfonso always remembered what Percy had said, because he desperately wanted what he had longed for as a cultivator, which was to break through to the next level.Before he achieved his goal, he couldn't afford to lose people's trust in him.He needed that image to manipulate them and gain additional energy.He had to keep pretending to be good in front of everyone, and he had to keep that attitude when he was outside the palace.As for his return to the palace, it's up to him to do whatever he wants, including spending his nights with numerous women.However, when he saw Daniel for the first time, he said in his mind,"Oh my! Is this the kind of trash I have to deal with? He's from that despicable family, isn't he? He doesn't look like a nobleman at all!" he thought.However, his face still showed kindness and respect."Alright, I just need to finish this fight quickly and go home! Phaedra, I want you, my love!" he thought again.Alfonso only thought about absorbing Daniel's energy a
Alfonso gathered his inner strength and prepared to absorb Daniel's energy.Even before he absorbed it, he could feel a tremendous and pure energy aura through the palms of his hands.Elsewhere, outside the arena."Jeff, what is Alfonso doing? I'm worried about Daniel's condition!" Amelia exclaimed, unable to hide the look of concern on her face."Relax, Amy! I'm sure Alfonso won't do anything to harm Daniel!""Jeff, why are you so sure? What if something happens to Daniel?""Amy! Is it possible that Alfonso will cross the line?""Jeff!"Amelia almost lost her patience with her brother as she gave him a terrifying look.The girl couldn't understand how her brother could trust this Davenmert boy so much, as if he couldn't possibly do anything wrong.It was clear before her eyes that what Alfonso was doing was definitely not something to be taken lightly.At that moment, what Amelia felt was also what Montgomery was feeling.He knew what Alfonso was up to.As a fellow dual cultivator, M
Back to the hotel."Alfonso, there's something that's been bothering me. I've been thinking about it for a long time and I think I should tell you now!"Montgomery had a serious expression on his face as he said these words."Yes, of course! Just say it, my friend!" Alfonso said. His face remained calm at that moment."First of all, I would like to apologize for my behavior back then..."Before Montgomery could finish his sentence, Alfonso waved his hand."What are you saying? Forget about it! We're here to have fun, right?"Upon hearing Alfonso's words, Montgomery just stared at his friend without saying a word."Oh wait, I forgot something! You're not going to enjoy a party like this, are you? Forgive me! But at least you can taste some food or drink, right? Please!"As he said this, Alfonso shrugged his shoulders and showed a pleading expression on his face.Montgomery took a long breath and let it out.He was relieved that his friend didn't hold a grudge for what he had done.Feel
Back to the competition.When Montgomery saw what happened to Daniel, his mind recalled what the girls and women who were victims in that party incident had experienced.They were experiencing the same physical and psychological symptoms!Their bodies felt extremely weak and tired, as if there was no trace of energy left in them.Imagining the victims made Montgomery's heart ache.He was deeply saddened by what had happened to them."No! No! Such an incident must not happen again!" he thought, shaking his head repeatedly.Besides, he didn't hope that Alfonso would get stronger.At this moment, he desperately wanted Daniel to survive."Daniel, hold on! Don't let these victims die in vain! Please do something!"Montgomery almost shed tears as he whispered these words.Elsewhere, in the middle of the arena, Alfonso grew impatient to absorb the tremendous energy exploding from his opponent's body."Hahaha! This bastard is truly useful! After your death, I will celebrate with many beautifu
A while ago, during their physical battle, Alfonso could sense that Daniel had the same internal energy as him. Therefore, he wasn't worried about absorbing the young man's energy."If I use my technique correctly, I should be able to contain all of that foolish young man's inner energy and increase my own," he thought.As he had planned, Alfonso used all of his inner energy before absorbing Daniel's power to protect himself and prevent an energy overload. However, his plan didn't work out the way he wanted.At that moment, Daniel's energy suddenly surged dozens of times stronger than before, surpassing his control.Alfonso had no choice but to act. He had to withdraw his hand immediately!If he continued to connect any part of his body to any part of Daniel's body, the least risk he would face was internal injuries due to excessive strain. The severity of those injuries would depend on the opponent's inner energy."What is this? What's happening? Why is that bastard's internal energy
That was all Alfonso could say.The pain in his body had become unbearable, making it difficult for him to utter any more words."You're lucky I didn't see you commit this heinous act with my own eyes! If I had, even if you begged for forgiveness a thousand times, I would still give you a harsher punishment!" Daniel said again.Even though he seemed to forgive Alfonso, he certainly couldn't let the young Davenmert off so easily.He had to make sure that such crimes would not happen again in the future.So Daniel reopened his internal energy flow.Aaargh!At the same time, Alfonso opened his mouth wide.A piercing scream escaped his throat.He felt an incredible pain as Daniel started his technique again.However, instead of channeling his own internal energy into Alfonso's body, Daniel actually absorbed Alfonso's energy.He took more than half of it.After Daniel finished, Alfonso's power level had decreased drastically from before.He was now only a 3 or 4 level Warrior in the Eagle
Shortly after that, two figures that looked very familiar to Daniel ran towards him."Daniel!""Daniel!"It was Jeffrey and Amelia.Besides these two, Montgomery came towards him from another direction.He hugged Daniel's smaller and shorter body and shook his friend's body several times."You did it, Daniel! You did it!" Montgomery said. His eyes welled up as he tried to hold back the tears that were about to flow.Seeing a big and strong man like him almost crying, Jeffrey just scratched his head."Is it true what I'm seeing? Why is my heart moving to see it too?" Jeffrey thought.He ran out of words.Elsewhere, in the distance, three people wearing nondescript black jackets and pants had been watching Daniel's fight since earlier.They also wore masks and sunglasses, making their faces difficult to recognize."Didn't the boss say that Mr. Davenmert's opponent was just an ordinary Warrior? This young man doesn't look like what was described! He's very strong!"The man standing on th
In one of the rooms at Drummond Castle.Daniel was leaving the bathroom after refreshing himself by soaking in the tub for over half an hour.It had been five days since his battle with Alfonso.Although he had been nearly defeated in his battle with the Davenmert man, Daniel had been very fortunate.First, the fight had forced him to raise his body level.Second, Alfonso was the top contender on the list. Being the strongest of all the contestants, he was considered the likely winner of the competition.However, Daniel shattered that belief.He managed to defeat Alfonso, and did so quite convincingly.Therefore, the organizing committee granted him a privilege in this competition.Daniel didn't have to play the next two matches.He just had to wait for the next contestant to advance to the final round, which would take place in three days.As he dried his hair with a towel, the only garment clinging to Daniel's body was a towel he used to cover his lower body.His upper body, with it
