Legend stated that Matteo Hanson was exceptionally skilled in martial arts and had a crescent moon mark on his forehead since birth.He was both just and evil with a rebellious and untameable temperament. He was also extremely cruel such that those who crossed him never lived to see daylight.It was rumored that a hundred years ago the White Cloud Sect Master unintentionally offended Matteo who then proceeded to break the tendons in arms of 8,000 White Cloud disciples. This shocked the entire martial arts world.In the New World, people coined him as the Evil Samaritan.Legend mentioned that Matteo preferred to roam the mountains and rivers alone. None had expected to meet him here!Odin and his men were so scared that they were sweating profusely.“Those who disturbed me... Unforgivable! All of you should just kill yourself…” Matteo said firmly and icily while glaring at Odin and his men.Odin and his men looked at each other. They were all frightened and shocked at the same ti

‘Wanting to acknowledge me as your master?’Matteo squinted his eyes and gave Justin a look. He then snickered disdainfully before turning around and left.He thought, ‘Any Tom, Dick, and Harry want to worship me as their master nowadays.’ “Sir, sir!” Justin yelled as he kowtowed non-stop.Matteo did not seem to have heard him as he walked further away.Lily then came over and helped Justin up. “Justin, why do you want to be his disciple?”Justin wiped some blood away. “Lily, this isn’t the World Universe. It’ll be hard to find Darryl and I need to be strong to protect you.”Justin quickly stood up and chased after Matteo while Lily sighed before following suit.What was Matteo’s cultivation level? He walked a few steps before realizing that Justin was still following him and coldly said, “Dude, you still dare to follow me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”At that, a huge aura exploded from Matteo.Justin stopped in his tracks and shuddered as he could not help but swallow

Lily then shut the door.“Good night,” Justin replied with a bitter heart. However, he did not return to his room but turned and left the inn instead with tears flowing down uncontrollably.“Argh!” Justin sobbed to the skies outside the inn and released all the grievances and wronged feelings he had.He was disappointed and did not know what to think as he initially was here to protect Lily and help her find Darryl.If that was the case, why was he so unhappy about it?He has gone through so much humiliation throughout the entire journey only to receive a mere ‘thank you’ from his goddess.Was it worth it? Was it worth everything that he did?“Hehe.” Justin walked on the streets with a self-deprecation laugh.He did not know how long he walked until he heard footsteps sound from behind him and turned around feeling stunned.It was Matteo Hanson who silently stood behind him.Matteo smiled lightly as he said, “You put your Goddess on such a high pedestal which was even more im

Justin ran out of the inn in extreme agitation and arrived at a bar.“Get me some alcohol!” He yelled to the owner from extreme grief as he could not endure it! The thought of Lily being defiled hurt him badly.After all, she was his beloved Goddess for many years!He gulped the bowls of alcohol as getting drunk could he forget about his troubles.…At the inn, in the room.The moment Lily gained consciousness and realized she was in the tub, she glared at Matteo, wishing she could kill him!“You… You!” Lily crumbled and could not believe she was no longer pure.This must be a nightmare. It must be.Matteo wore his clothes as he approached Lily and smiled. “Cutie, you should be happy you’re my woman now. Why are you crying?”He was the Incandescent Sect Deputy Head—a highly respected person. She should be honored she could be his woman.He could not deny after having met so many women, but only Lily who was in front of him was truly perfect with nothing to nitpick on—regardl

The loud and crisp slaps reverberated throughout.…On the other side, at the Great East Hibiscus City.Darryl and Jewel were sleeping in an inn when a clamor of gongs and drums could be heard coming from outside.Darryl abruptly woke up and rolled around on the floor before covering himself under his blanket as he could still hear the commotion.As Jewel and he shared a room, Jewel would of course sleep on the bed and him on the floor.“Why is it so noisy outside?” Jewel asked before immediately headed to the window and looked out.“Mister, come quick!” Jewel suddenly lost all her grogginess and became as excited as a child.The streets below were bustling with a huge crowd of people.Vendors were yelling on both sides of the streets. Some were selling candies, some cakes while others lanterns. It was a lively affair.“It’s so lively! Let’s have a look!” Jewel laughed and dragged Darryl downstairs.Darryl was still groggy but was totally helpless from being pulled along by

The pretty lady on-stage said to her mic, “Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Penny and I’m the host for the Poetry League. I’ll now come up with a theme where everyone should base their poetry composition on. Whoever writes the best will earn the title The Gifted Hibiscus Scholar! You should know this title is the highest honor for scholars and literati!”Penny scanned the crowd. “It’s deep into autumn, so the theme for this year’s Poetry League is Autumn. Whoever writes the best poem wins!”“I have a poem!”A fat middle-aged man slowly appeared from the crowd and crawled to the stage.Instantly, everyone’s eyes were on him with surprise on their faces. The theme was just announced—how could he have composed a poem so fast?They were curious and wanted to hear what he had come up with.Penny—on-stage—was also surprised before she smiled lightly and said, “Please go ahead with your poem.”The fat man nodded. He was silent for a while before starting to slowly swirl his head from s

“What? This dude wants to recite a poem?”“Haha!” “He must have gone nuts from the exhaustion of being an on-set extra!”At the crowd’s jeers, Jewel could not help but stomped her feet before turning back and yelled, “Don’t laugh at Darryl! He’s very talented! I bet none of you can compete with him!”Penny on stage smiled lightly and said, “Sure. Go ahead, Little Brother, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. The consequences will be serious if you’re here to cause trouble.”Darryl did not bother to reply. He saw a brush on the stage corner, walked toward it, and picked up the brush before dipping it in ink.“What are you trying to do? Put that brush down!” Penny stomped her high heels toward Darryl as she was sure Darryl was there to cause trouble.There was a commotion among the crowd as well. How would someone dare cause trouble at the Poetry League—an event that was held once every three years?Darryl smiled as he walked toward the huge stone pillar.The nearly three-meter-tal

“That’s such a great poem you just wrote!”At the inn’s entrance, Jewel tightly held Darryl’s hand with a face filled with admiration. “Darryl, did you see everyone went berserk when you finished writing! You’re so amazing!”She held onto Darryl’s arm with a great feeling. She knew he would have blown everyone’s mind if once he showed his talents.Darryl smiled and looked at her. “Is it? Tell me why it’s great?”‘Haha! The poem was called ‘Heavenly Pure Sand—Autumn Thoughts’ by Ma Zhiyuan, the great poet from the Yuan Dynasty. How could it not be amazing?’ Darryl thought.Jewel cocked her head as she thought and said, “Anyway, I just find it amazing! The poem is written beautifully.”She did not know about poetry but could feel the melancholy within that poem.Haha! Darryl laughed at that before extending his hand and ruffled Jewel’s hair.“Sir Darryl!” At that very moment, Darryl heard an excited voice calling from behind him.He unconsciously turned his head around.He coul

Penny said to Darryl as she pointed toward the first car.Darryl nodded as Jewel and he sat in the passenger seat behind while Penny sat in the driver’s seat and drove.The 200 cars followed suit as this huge entourage drove southward.It was late and dark. Darryl and Jewel soon felt groggy and ended up sleeping in the car.They slept soundly until the next day when Penny lightly touched Darryl. “Sir Darryl, we have arrived.”“Hmm.” Darryl opened his eyes and looked out of the car window only to be baffled.Dozens of meters away was a ginormous palace! It was a few times larger than the Forbidden City! The palace’s main doors were grand and majestic! It was close to a hundred meters high and almost fifty meters wide!On the doors, the two words ‘Artemis Sect’ were written in glaring bright red.Darryl and Jewel looked at each other and were floored. The Artemis Sect Altar was magnificent!“Sir Darryl, please get down,” said Penny softly.“Oh, okay.” Darryl swallowed his saliv

Debra Gable, the 36th Artemis Sect Master! She was 30 years old but still extremely gorgeous despite her age! Her cultivation rank was at the Level Three Martial Emperor!However, she was famous not for her cultivation powers, but for her gifted talents.Debra Gable was known as the First-Ranked Genius of the Ages. She was skilled in subjects about Astronomy, Geography, Chess, Music, Arts, and Literature. There was nothing she could not do as this woman was peerless and incomparable with those of her generation!Darryl was mesmerized after just one look at her. He could not look away and could not help but take a deep breath.Debra was seated on the phoenix throne with a thin veil in front of her. Darryl could not see her face clearly, but he could feel this woman’s other-worldly aura.“How bold of you to not kneel in front of our Sect Master?” Simon Crescent suddenly stepped forward and reprimanded.Simon was shocked as he had not expected this year’s Gifted Hibiscus Scholar was
