“Get your ass out here, Fred Hoffman!" Zuller shouted the moment he arrived at Fred's mine division.Both of them grabbed one of the handyman disciples guarding Fred's door each and kicked them out. The ordinary disciples who followed for a glimpse of Seelie frowned at their bossiness."They came to cause trouble, then?""You didn't know? They were left to lie unconscious on the ground for hours yesterday! I heard that it was because Fred defeated them and threw them out. I suppose they want to take revenge or something." "It doesn't look like they'll leave until they've gotten their revenge."Everyone began to discuss among themselves. "Did you two learn nothing from yesterday?" Fred finally spoke up.Zuller and Janzen were still embarrassed about what happened yesterday and were furious to have their dirty laundry aired in front of everyone. "We're here to teach you a lesson, Fred Hoffman! How dare you humiliate us like that yesterday?!" Zuller snarled. Janzen scoffed.
Disciples of the Three Flair Sect were shocked to see Ymir, but none of them dared to make a sound. Some new disciples did not understand what was going on and quietly asked their martial brother beside them, "Who..." "Shh! Softer! Do you want to get yourself killed?"Their martial brother quickly made a silencing gesture, but when he saw the curious look on his junior's face, he relented and whispered, "You're new here, so you don't know, but... Senior Ymir is an elite disciple!""An elite disciple?" The junior looked shocked.In the Triple Flair Sect, there was a hierarchy of ranked disciples. Handyman disciples, for example, were only disciples in name. They were more subordinates, who were in charge of the hard labor. They were at the bottom of the hierarchy. Ordinary disciples were slightly higher, though they were considered butlers of the sect at best.Elite disciples were the true disciples of the Triple Flair Sect.They were not tasked with labor, and their main r
Ymir did not even think to analyze his opponent before he sneered. "I heard you call Zuller and Janzen weak. What about me, then? Still too weak for you?""Who are you?" Fred did not know nor care about who Ymir was. Ymir scoffed. "Hmph! Ignorance sure is blissful. It doesn't matter if you know who I am or not. Let me ask you, then. Did you or did you not fight with Zuller and Janzen about the mineral ores yesterday?" Fred said calmly, "Sure." He continued in his mind, 'If you could count rendering them unconscious with just a glare as fighting.'Not that Ymir knew what Fred was thinking about. Hearing Fred's reply, he nodded with a smile. "Good. The first step to atonement is admittance. Looks like Janzen was right. You're an arrogant and ignorant one. Not only did you steal your seniors' ores, but you even attacked them and threw them out onto the streets!" Fred frowned.Before he could say anything, Ymir had already begun walking. Arrogantly, he said, "I know you want to
“Seelie... looks like your brother's going to die this time!"Everyone seemed so sure that Fred was going to die from this attack.Of course, there were some disciples who had come because they were following Seelie and remembered that she was Fred's sister. Not that they would risk their lives to help Fred for her. However, they wanted to set themselves apart from the others by offering their condolences earlier. "Yeah! My brother! My brother, he..." Seelie put on a frantic expression and grabbed the man beside her. "Please, can you save him? As... As long as you save my brother, I'll do anything! I swear!" That disciple looked tempted before he realized what he was about to do. He shook his head regretfully. "It's not that I don't want to save him, Seelie, but... But this is Senior Ymir we're talking about! "No one can save your brother now. And doing anything would only incriminate you too..." Then, the disciple continued with a sly look on his face, "The only thing I
When Zuller heard that, he quickly nodded in agreement. Elite disciples were not people ordinary disciples like them could afford to offend, especially considering Ymir was a leading figure among the elite disciples of the Triple Flair Sect. He was a heavenly figure to him.After nodding his agreement, Zuller immediately made eye contact with Janzen and stepped forward to express gratitude to Ymir.However, at that moment, a voice caused both of them and everyone present to freeze with joy."How much longer are you going to drag this out? I don't have time to waste with you."The voice was cold but remarkably familiar. Was this not Fred’s voice?Everyone instantly recognized Fred's voice, but at the same time, they were all astonished.Ymir's palm strike had been so powerful that Fred should have been killed instantly. Why was he still able to speak?They very quickly came to understand the situation, however. In front of them, the debris and dust that Ymir's previous palm str
It was his turn now?Despite Fred's voice not being that loud, it still resonated clearly in the ears of every disciple present in the Triple Flair Sect, leaving them speechless and in shock.This was Ymir, the leading figure among the elite disciples of the Triple Flair Sect. Even a single palm strike from him was supposed to be beyond what an ordinary disciple could withstand, let alone three consecutive strikes. Fred had only recently joined them as an ordinary disciple.How could this be possible?However, the undeniable truth was right in front of them. Fred had effortlessly blocked all three of Ymir's palm strikes with just one finger. Now, it was Fred's turn to retaliate."The first palm."With a casual flip of his hand, a tremendous explosion resonated. It seemed as if Fred had intentionally missed his strike. Ymir blinked stupidly as the mountain beside him produced a massive sound. Subsequently, the entire mountain flattened as if the top had been blown away."What…”
"Junior Fred, look! I already punished these two on your behalf. I will accuse them of deceiving me, sowing discord among fellow disciples, and other charges. I'll take them before the elders to face judgment. S-So, I won't delay any longer!"With that, Ymir grabbed Zuller and Janzen, one in each hand, and dashed out.Though his words sounded righteous, it was evident to everyone that Ymir was escaping!"Continue with your tasks! I don't like being disturbed, as you all should know!"Fred did not bother pursuing him. He calmly left instructions to the disciples under him and then entered his small hut, closing the door behind him. The disciples present were left dumbfounded......Not long after the incident occurred, Elder Eisler received a report from his disciples in his room that left him frowning."What did you say? Ymir got into a fight with an ordinary disciple, and instead of gaining the upper hand, he got intimidated and ran?”Just like the disciples who had witnesse
"The display just now was majestic, fitting of the living legend and the revered Great One. It was quite the spectacle!"Fred was inside his small room, and of course, no one dared disturb his tranquility. After all, he was someone who had scared off Ymir, a leading figure among the elite disciples, with just one palm. Who would dare provoke him?Seelie was an exception. She was reclining comfortably in a chair at this moment, eating grapes a handyman disciple had brought over. She looked at Fred with a teasing smile and said, "Impressive as it was, have you forgotten why we joined the sect? We came here for a quiet place to recuperate as quickly as possible. "If you keep making a fuss like this, how are we going to remain unnoticed? What if the sect decides to drive us away? Do you want to go through that disciple-recruitment test again? "Not to mention the trouble with the Buckners. If you attract the attention of high-level Ancient Warlords or perhaps provoke the Holy Emperor,
Marciella walking away did not bode well with the giant snake. Marciella was its food! How could it accept that its food had escaped?Marciella had not moved far yet. She reluctantly looked back at Fred.She did not know how Fred would handle the River God. She could only hope Fred would be okay!When Fred saw that she had left, he geared up, rubbing his palms in glee. He had an eager look on his face, which confused the giant snake.It was the snake’s first time meeting a man like Fred!How strange indeed!At this time!Suddenly, Fred said with hostility etched on his face, "Hey, Big Snake, what are you going to do now?"The snake's attention was entirely focused on him, which seemed off to Fred."What I’m going to do?"The giant snake fixated its eyes on Fred. It felt that it could handle a human like Fred easily.“I’m going to kill you with one bite! How dare you look down on me like this!"The giant snake rushed toward Fred fiercely at a speed so fast that no one could
Fred was annoyed by the giant snake's arrogant tone. Fred squinted his eyes at the snake and asked in confusion, "Why are you making that face?"“Huh?"The giant snake was shocked. He thought that Fred would submit to him, but to his surprise, Fred was not shaken at all.The snake was about to lose his temper.“Dirty snake, haven't I made myself clear enough? I think you are probably sleep-talking if you want me to hand over my people to you..." Fred said impatiently.At this moment…Feeling that it was being ridiculed, the snake said suddenly, "You punk, this is the first time anyone spoke to me this way. What is your name?"“Me?"Fred was stunned subconsciously, not knowing what the snake wanted. Suddenly, he understood.“Did you want to know my name so you can remember me, bow down before me, and become my follower? Sure, I’ll give you that chance!"He was adding fuel to the fire. The giant snake almost spat out blood in anger!"What? You want me to follow an immature bei
Huh!?Putting aside Marciella, even Fred could not hide his shock as a giant snake appeared from under the water!A giant snake!How could it be!?Fred's eyes widened at the sheer size of the snake. "A Giant Snake… Is this the so-called River God?"Moreover, the size was humongous. The snake must be at least ten stories high!What a huge snake!Fred finally understood why he felt a powerful force under the water!There was a sharp glint in the giant snake’s eyes! That was the blinking light from time to time!"Who comes here? Are you from the village? Who do you plan to sacrifice to me this time?" As soon as the giant snake spoke, Fred realized that this was not the first time it had done this.The snake seemed familiar with the ritual process. Obviously, the villagers had witnessed this giant snake before. This was the meeting between the two sides! Fred felt uncomfortable at this. As for the giant snake, it felt bemused when it saw Fred. The snake had never seen Fred befo
Fred was going to risk it all to open this girl's eyes!The force from the punch was extraordinary! As soon as the tree was hit by the seismic fist, it fell immediately and the whole tree split neatly in two!Marciella was dumbfounded!Although she knew how powerful Fred was, to witness his power was a different thing entirely!"Master Fred, your power is insane!"Marciella could not help but applaud.Fred seemed indifferent, as though he had no feeling at all about this."Is it? Why do you think so?"He looked so indifferent.For Ancient Martial Arts, things did not get any simpler than this!"You’re so strong. Anyway, I don’t doubt you anymore..." Marciella sighed, suddenly feeling very sad. "This is the reward of being educated. If we were more knowledgeable, we wouldn’t be so clueless.”"Haha, if you can't solve your issues, your descendants can work harder," Fred said with a wink.Marciella said, "Mr. Fred, I needed to ask you something! What if our luck was changed ju
What Fred said aroused her curiosity."What does it look like when you offer a sacrifice?"Fred knew he could not speak of this matter. Sure enough, Marciella felt a little downcast after Fred said the words. She did not know why Fred would say such a thing. Suddenly, Fred felt bad about it.He coughed and said, "Don't think too much about it... I just want to find a clue. Maybe we could find a solution. Why does it never rain in your village?""Huh?"Marciella's eyes, which were still a little dejected, suddenly realized what was important and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Fred, are you saying that the reason why it never rains in our village is because someone is behind it?"Although Fred was unwilling to admit it, he could not help but nod. "Yes, this is exactly what you thought!""For real?!"Marciella felt hopeful again when she heard this. She said hastily, "The thing you asked about is pretty simple. You can just check out that place!""That place?"Fred turned around to see w
Marciella found herself nodding in agreement with Fred's harsh assessment. "You're spot on," she said. "That woman is nothing but vile!"Seeing Marciella's reaction, a rare smile crossed Fred's face as he nodded back. "Glad you see it my way," he said.What caught Fred off guard was the villagers' reaction. One by one, their faces turned ashen with despair.It seemed to them that nothing could be worse than the predicament they were facing. The absence of the witch spelled doom for the village—it was like their last shred of hope had vanished. They had all put their faith in her to charm the River God into blessing them with rain, which would have brought some peace to their troubled lives. However, now their chances seemed to have dried up just like their fields. Fred stood there, his face a mask of serenity amidst the chaos.In the moments that followed, the village chief was a picture of despair, his only option was to send everyone home while he racked his brain for a backup pl
"What?"Fred did not even have time to blink before the witch suddenly made a move.It was like a bomb went off.Kaboom!Then, she was dead!Fred dusted off his hands, even surprising himself with his lack of tolerance for the witch.Now, though, he had a real headache. He had planned to clear the air with the witch and lay out the past so everyone would know the full picture.He thought that might just turn things around.The situation changed when she vanished, and Fred's plans were completely derailed. Then again, changing the villagers' minds was not going to be a walk in the park anyway. They were pretty set in their ways, thanks to all the stuff they had been fed.As such, just talking it out might not cut it. Heck, it could even mess with history!With the witch out of the equation, Fred figured he might as well try a different tactic. Maybe if he took out the guy in the cloak and worked his own magic to bring some rain, it could save a lot of hassle. The more he thoug
"No way!"The witch bristled with defiance. She could not accept that she was no match for Fred.As she noticed Fred's focus was locked on her, a sly idea popped up in her mind.Before she could act on it, though, she found herself pinned against the wall by Fred in a flash...Her face contorted in disbelief. She was pinned so tightly that she could not even move!The witch was completely overpowered, her heart racing with panic.How could he be so much stronger than her?Fred, on the other hand, seemed unfazed."What's going through your head? You don't seriously think you can take me on, do you?" Fred asked, his voice laced with skepticism.The witch felt utterly trapped, as if at any second, Fred might just finish her off."Look, I messed up, okay? Can we not do this? I'm old, just a pile of brittle bones—I can't take this kind of rough treatment!" the witch pleaded with Fred, trying a new tactic to get through to him.Fred was not falling for it. He looked at her with a
"Heh, I caught on to you a while back, you know. You've been tailing me, and I'm pretty sure you're here for me. Plus, you don't have the look of someone from our village. That means you are an outsider, and I'm your target, right? Listen, man, we don't have any beef with each other, so why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"The witch had sensed the raw power rolling off Fred, and it was enough to send shivers down her spine!At that moment, she knew that challenging Fred was not going to be a walk in the park! If she had spotted him earlier in the forest, it would not have been good news for her. For starters, she had no clue how many tricks Fred had up his sleeve, and if he took her down, she and her buddy would be toast.However, the witch was not about to let Fred take her out without a fight! She racked her brain and finally settled on one strategy!She would try to sweet-talk him, hoping Fred would fall for her words just like everyone else, and fall into he
