Was someone looking for trouble?Was one of the parties just an ordinary person?The young man's arrogant words immediately attracted the attention of quite a few warlords who had hiked up the mountain as well.Warlords could sense each other’s auras, and it was obvious that they did not sense a warlord’s aura from both Fred and Gustav.Hence, everyone was quite surprised for a moment.This was a considerably rare meeting where the Sky Martial Sect had extended invitations to secular warlords far and wide, so why would there be normal people here?Gustav could only shake his head at this.It was true that warlords could sense each other's aura. However, it was also only applicable when their strengths were on a similar level.Gustav was born into the Hansens, so even though he was an illegitimate child, he was still raised as a legitimate son before Gustafson’s arrival. It was natural then that his strength was on a different level from that of ordinary warlords.As for Fred…
"Eat this!"The move the young man was executing was incomparably fancy as if he was deliberately trying to show off. He first tossed himself up into the air before channeling his vigor into his palm as he swiped it down.The people surrounding them immediately cheered, obviously applauding the young man's extraordinary skill.Standing in the distance, the young man’s master also nodded in satisfaction.The young man ended up becoming even smugger. It was as if he had peeked into the future and saw himself being summoned by the Sky Martial Sect after killing Fred with his palm."Little brat! Although I feel a little troubled about attacking an ordinary person like you, who asked you to be an ant? Your death will make my future, so please die with peace of mind!"Thinking this, the strength in his hands intensified.His purpose was to show off his skills. Hence, not only did he want to kill Fred, but he also wanted to do it beautifully and neatly!The best would be to crush Fred
15 minutes later, in front of the gates of the Sky Martial Sect on the top of Windfall Mountain.Just as Fred and Gustav walked up to the gates, they slowly opened and a proud young woman walked out surrounded by a group of people.It was Crystal, the eldest daughter of Halbert Guerrero, the leader of the Sky Martial Sect!"Are you Fred Hoffman?" she asked while looking Fred up and down.In Crystal's opinion, however, whoever this Fred person was, he was but a drop in the ocean. He was an extremely insignificant existence when he stood before the Sky Martial Sect, which had been called the holy center of secular martial arts.Yet Fred had destroyed Mark and then Yvan. After listening to her sister, Jade's, description of him, Crystal’s curiosity about the man was piqued.Crystal’s scrutinizing gaze was quick and ended directly with disappointment.Exactly that, disappointment.Crystal had initially thought that since Fred was powerful enough to destroy Mark and cripple Yvan, hi
Kneel down and repent?Gustav frowned at Halbert's words at once and was about to call him out for his presumptuousness!Who was Fred?He was the living legend, the revered Great One who even the eight great families in the world of warlords could not help but surrender to.How dare the puny Sky Martial Sect before them be presumptuous?Before he could say anything, however, Gustav heard someone sneer first. He looked over in a daze.The sneer came from the head of the Rising Clouds Sect, Aeon Garrik!What was more, the sect leaders of the Blade, Four Icons, and Elements Sect beside him all also wore sneers on their faces.They were not targeted at Fred, however, but at Halbert!After all, they were no fools.Even those idle fighters who Fred and Gustav had bumped into when they were coming up the mountain all knew that the Sky Martial Sect's far-reaching invitation this time was so that they could set an example.How could Aeon and the other leaders representing the other w
Halbert knew Aeon did that to deliberately embarrass him and the entire Sky Martial Sect so that their example-making conference could not go on!However, the angrier Halbert was, the happier Aeon was. He just smiled and said, "What's the matter? It’s not often I find talents I like. Can’t I do this?"I think all of us also know that we warlords not only pay attention to talent when it comes to recruiting students but also destiny. It looks to me that I have quite an affinity with this man now. If this is the case, why not accept him as a disciple?"“Master Garrik is right!"On the side, Lars Borris, the sect leader of the Four Icons Sect, nodded and said with a smile, "There’s a saying that there’s no stopping opportunity when it arises! Since it has appeared, why deny it?”"Hehe, Master Borris right! I’m also aware that Master Garrik has strict conditions when it comes to accepting disciples. Now that he has found such a suitable disciple, how can he let him go?" Ronald Parker,
"What did you say?"Aeon’s complacent expression from having overwhelmed Halbert, the sect leader of the Sky Martial Sect, suddenly darkened.Did he, the majestic sect leader of the Rising Clouds Sect, accept Fred, a boy he had met for the first time as his disciple truly because of some nonsensical affinity?Of course not!Everyone present, including Halbert, who was now being targeted, knew that the reason why Aeon did this was to target Halbert so that he would be unsuccessful in his attempts to put on this example-making show.Hence, Aeon had never thought that Fred would refuse to become his disciple.After all, Fred was just a tool to deal with Halbert to him.A mere tool, an ant. As if he had the right to choose.Yet, Fred was not only making a choice now, but it was clear in his words that he was also rejecting Aeon as his master.It was like he had slapped Aeon in front of everyone present.How could Aeon not be angry?His expression was as cold as snow while his ey
Not qualified?Still not qualified?They were not even qualified for Fred to be their master?All of a sudden, the entire hall fell silent because of Fred's words.Everyone looked at Fred as if they were looking at a fool. They did not know what he was capable of, yet he dared say such things so presumptuously!He said that to the people before him, who were the leaders of the Sky Martial, Rising Clouds, Four Icons, Elements, and Blade sects!Those were all well-known warlord forces in the world!It was also no exaggeration to call Halbert and Aeon giants among warlords!Yet now, Fred, a little-known kid in their eyes, actually dared say such incredibly arrogant things… He was beyond taking risks.He was obviously asking to die!"This little bastard must die!"Cold killing intent gradually spread out following Aeon's words.Lars, Borris, and Carver also nodded coldly as they agreed with what he said.At this moment, they no lingered cared about suppressing the Sky Martial
"Madman!""How bold!""You’re presumptuous!"The moment Fred said that, Halbert, Aeon, and the rest of the five sect leaders were so furious that their expressions turned hideous. He was in a hurry?All together now?Although none of them thought that Gustav would be an inherent powerhouse, the five of them standing here at this moment were all inherent warlords!How dare he say such arrogant words like ‘all together now’?If Gustav, who was also an inherent warlord, had said it, then whatever. However, the person who said this now was actually Fred. An ant that they could easily crush to death. How could they not be incensed?"You’re truly a reckless lunatic. How dare you say such crazy words in the Sky Martial Sect?! Looks like I’ll have to crush you now and put you down here forever!"Halbert had a grudge against Fred in the first place. A direct disciple of his as well as several others had been killed or crippled by Fred one after another. Hence, he was the most annoyed
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
