Just as he was about to speak again, his expression suddenly froze. It then twisted into agony as he let out a mournful and piercing scream."W-What's happening to you?" The senior elder of the Blackvine clan spoke when he saw him like this.However, Tyrone could not even utter a word. At that moment, a burst of golden light erupted from his spiritual center, followed by a popping sound.Tyrone was suddenly calm. He slowly stood up and looked at everyone. His lips parted as he spoke, "You all have offended me yet remained unrepentant. In that case, I can only administer a small punishment to prevent a large-scale repetition.”"A small punishment to prevent a large-scale repetition?”When the senior elder of the Blackvine clan heard this, his expression instantly darkened. "You're not Tyrone! You… You're the young man with the true teachings?”"You intend to annihilate my student’s family? And also people who are close to me?” Fred fixed a cold and indifferent gaze on the senior e
"What did you say, Dad? The Blackvine and Whitevine clans disappeared… overnight?"While Rita was on her way from the Warlord Academy to Training Room 1 in Area K, she would glance at her phone occasionally as an uncontrollable smile crossed her face. Her father, who was in South Carlos, had called her just a moment ago and informed her that their family, who had previously been under the Blackvine’s control, had now regained their freedom. Not only that, the fierce and fearsome members of the Blackvine clan had all vanished overnight!Moreover, the Whitevine clan who had dominated South Carlos just like the Blackvine clan also seemed to have vanished without a trace!"He really did it? But… But how?”Rita then spotted Fred coming toward her from a distance at this moment, and her curiosity was piqued.Fred did mention last night that the Blackvine and Whitevine clans would live in fear from now on and that their continued existence was in question.She thought he was just sayi
“He just makes his students run day in and day out. He, on the other hand, just sits around at the side, smoking incessantly so at ease!" "Does he really make his students run every day? Could he be intentionally acting this way because he noticed you? Or is it possible that he's secretly training them in other stuff during the evenings?" Massimo inquired skeptically.When Conner saw Massimo's reaction, he hurriedly explained, "Master Tombeau, please believe me. This is all true! To fulfill your instructions, I also had one of my junior students infiltrate and monitor Area K closely. I assure you, there's no mistake."And with Fred's current strength, he could be considered the weakest among us teachers. Based on his capabilities, he won't be able to detect my junior disciple's surveillance."Massimo nodded slightly at that. He originally assumed the running and everything else was just a facade since Fred had boasted so confidently in the office. He thought he was definitely teac
Was someone there?Rita was momentarily taken aback when she heard what Fred said. After their encounter with the black-robed man, she was now alert and had subconsciously placed her hand on the medicine pouch at her waist.However, after not hearing anything after waiting for a while, Rita looked at Fred with confusion. She questioned, "Are you just playing around? There's no one here!""Is that so?" Fred smiled faintly as he flicked the cigarette in his hand lightly.Then, a cracking sound echoed through the air as the cigarette shot out like a bullet to a nearby treetop.Subsequently, a dark figure leaped out from it before finally landing in front of Fred and Rita."Hehe, I didn't expect you to actually detect me with your level of strength. It seems like the others have underestimated you.”This man appeared to be around the same age as Fred. Despite being forced to reveal himself after Fred exposed him, he did not seem at all hard-pressed. Instead, he wore an arrogant smir
After Meldor’s laughter subsided, he looked at Fred with a disdainful sneer and said, "You, a self-cultivator with no foundation or background, are acknowledged by this Warlord Academy as the weakest teacher. You're a wastrel! You actually have the audacity to think of detaining me? It's truly laughable!"Smiling faintly, Meldor continued, "I planned to leave at first, but it's a pity you have the gall to be so presumptuous. Fine then! If you kneel to me, I'll spare you. Otherwise, hehe…”His sentence trailing off into a snicker, Meldor brought his palm down toward the center of the training room. Instantly, there was a loud cracking sound as a pit appeared in the center of the room. Meldor was clearly trying to establish dominance and make Fred understand the vast gap between their strength. After he delivered his palm strike, Meldor was even more eager to see Fred's surprise and fear. He wanted to see Fred tremble in terror. He wanted to witness Fred's legs turning weak as he kne
"Did Conner send you to monitor me?"Ten minutes later, Meldor was still in the training room at Area K facing Fred. His arrogance from before had long disappeared. Instead, he was now a kneeling figure on the ground, trembling. He looked like he wanted to cry, but there were no tears. Was Fred not said to be the weakest teacher in the Warlord Academy?Yet, a single gaze had brought him to his knees. It was also enough to sink the surrounding area three feet into the ground and turn it into level ground.How was he the weakest? How were the others supposed to survive, then?Facing Fred at this moment, Meldor, of course, answered all the questions asked dutifully. He even added more to his answers.He was afraid that Fred might crush him with a single finger if he was not satisfied with his answer.Although they were currently in the Warlord Academy and Fred was a teacher here, the fact remained that only the fittest survived in the world of martial arts.Meldor did not dare gu
It was crude, but this was youth! "Hmm! It seems I'm still a child at heart! It's a pity that I can't act that way in front of Gustav, or else it's not bad to come here as a student and have this sort of experience!" With this in mind, Fred threw the impromptu idea to the back of his mind. First, looking at the training room that had long since been disfigured, he slowly landed his gaze on Meldor's body and faintly said, "What are you going to do about this plot of land?" "Huh?" Meldor was first slightly stunned, but he reacted and hurriedly said, "I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it! Sir, don't worry, I'll pay for it tomorrow—no, today… No, right now! I'll get someone to fix it and make it the same way as before!" Despite saying all this, Meldor was actually terrified right now! He was afraid that Fred would be dissatisfied and that his own life would be in jeopardy. After all, just the aura from his glance and the way he made the training ground sink three feet into
Three hours later… In Area K, Training Room 1. At this moment, Rita was looking at Fred in front of her with a look of depression. She was pushing her waist out and asking, "You...you… What kind of crappy training program are you putting me through? Are you making fun of me?" "Oh? I have planned this training program for a long time. How could you say I’m making fun of you?" Fred said seriously. Rita did not appreciate this in the slightest. She grunted, "It's weird if you're not making fun of me! Do you think I don't know what the other teachers teach? When it comes to you, it's just running and more running. It’s been more than a month. You said that there’s a new training program today, but what you came up with...is actually just playing hide and seek? What is this if you're not teasing me?" After saying that, Rita still looked like she was not satisfied. If she did not know that she was no match for Fred's power both in terms of techniques or physical skills, she
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
