Alex rolled his eyes. “Do I look like I’m crazy? These people have been robbed today, and they’re probably thinking about revenge. Do I look insane enough to give them a chance to enhance their powers?”Maha opened his mouth to speak, but he didn’t know what to say. ‘Such actions… don’t they defy Buddhist principles?’However, he immediately found another excuse for Alex.‘Buddhism isn’t popular nowadays, and our disciples are scarce.’‘We’re at the verge of extinction, and Rachel is counting on him. He might be the only one that can save the Siddhartha realm.’‘Such rare potential, it’s truly right to be cautious. Besides, in order to become the best of all and rebuild the Buddhist world, his ruthlessness is needed…’‘Amitabha, I’ve said it wrong—I meant his intelligence and bravery are needed.’“I should feel proud and relieved!”Maha adjusted his posture. By clearing his thoughts, he felt uplifted, and it put him in good condition to cast his skills.This was just like wh
In the eyes of the crowd, Maha was an honorable monk. He seemed to be chanting Buddhist incantations while bathing in golden light. One of his hands pointed at the sky while the other pointed to the ground as he shouted out. A rainbow-colored cloud then landed from the skies.“Hmm?”“Master, what are you doing?”Even Alex was taken aback. He questioned him telepathically. “What are you summoning the cloud for?”Maha replied. “It’s better to put on a full act. I’m doing it for you, so these people won’t know that you’ve lied to them from the start. Even if they don’t get into the pool, in the end, they’ll still be grateful to you.”Flabbergasted by Maha’s words, Alex looked at him in disbelief.“Are you… really one of the five Revealers? Are you even slyer than me?”Maha was pissed. “And who am I trying to help here?”As the cloud landed, it burst, and a pool materialized.Within the pool, rainbow colors swirled and glowed.The trialists erupted into excitement—“It’s here,
“I’m actually touched; the genius doctor is indeed a great man!”“How could’ve I have suspected him and slandered him in secret! I’ve even loathed him and thought about killing him when I had the chance!”“I’m such a short-sighted man! He treats me better than my parents do! What’s the use of a little treasure compared to my life? It’s bulls*it!”Maha forced Alex’s acting skills out.‘Who would’ve thought that an old monk would be so talented at acting. He’s a natural!’Alex didn’t know that Maha was just busy convincing himself.“Oh no, the Underworld is collapsing. All trialists’ lives are threatened, and there’s not much time left!”“Kid, you’re a Buddhist, so I’ll have to guarantee your safety, Run. Flee before it’s too late!”“You escaping is better than all of us dying here. You don’t know them anyways—they might even come for you when they’re out!”When the trialists heard that, they almost fainted.“Master, no. Please!”“Isn’t kindness and saving lives the principles
Creating such an effect wasn’t difficult.It felt like the world was ending and death was near.A middle-aged woman was the first to jump out. She swore the oath at the quickest possible speed, following all of Alex’s requests. She shouted as she finished, “Quick, dude! You’re now my dearest brother. Send me away, please!”Alex could feel clearly that the divine power in his mind palace had changed.The woman’s oath had actually created a different kind of light in his divine power, one that looked like fine golden strings. It was as if they were somehow connected.“That shouldn’t be a bad thing!” Alex laughed to himself and immediately pulled the woman over.“Great, now I’ll open up a hole for you; this is the best I can do!”“Go now! Once you’re resurrected, make good use of your life!”Alex acted like he was trying hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood while opening a swirling passage.The woman said, “You take care too, brother! If things don't go well, leave immediatel
As he entered the pool, Alex felt an enormously strong sense of power overwhelming him.It was then quickly followed by intense pain as if his flesh and blood were drawn away from him again… His flesh wasn’t actually being ripped out, but training and improvement were advancing his flesh into a type of energy.The trialists had come to the Underworld mainly to change their skeletons through the pool. They could truly merge the bone patterns into their bones and advance further. On the other hand, Alex’s bones fused with many mysterious powers, such as Ymir's Divine Bone, the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, Yin-Yang Chi, and Yellow Obsidian Chi. According to the levels of bones, his had exceeded what the pool could enhance.However, since he had just regained his body, it was also considered a burden.The pool would also help with training his body, and it required much more energy than upgrading bones.Alex could now feel his original body coming back. The refined part in the Under
“She…” Neela froze, unable to speak.‘Why is Alex bringing a corpse out of that coffin?’After that, she noticed that Anna looked alive. It even had a heartbeat and breathing. This only surprised her more. “Sir, are you not worried about suffocating her? You placed a living person into a coffin.”Alex shushed Neela, indicating that she should keep quiet.The ball of light was getting closer, about to bring Alex and Neela out of here.Boom!!!Alex sent another punch out but with greater force this time. Punctured, the ball of light flew a few miles back.He then immediately used energy from the Pool of Afterlife to revive Anna.The process seemed long and tedious, yet, in reality, it was actually quite speedy.Memories of when they first met appeared in Alex’s mind. When he first met Anna, she chased after a thief while wearing a bikini, which was quite a memorable moment.The second time, he secretly learned her family’s traditional martial arts, the Dragon-Tusk Punch… The
“Mhm... that’s the stuff!” Anna closed her eyes as she took in the taste of Alex’s lips.This was not her first time kissing him, but it was the first time she had felt this excited. This kiss touched her deeply, especially since her love for him had rooted deep in her veins.Even though this strong woman had voluntarily kissed her man, she didn’t just give him a small peck. She started slipping her tongue into his mouth as well. Neela, however, couldn’t bear watching any longer and pulled Anna off of Alex. “Please, it’s not the time for this.”Anna was mad, but she deflated as soon as she saw Neela. ‘What a gorgeous woman… Ugh, she must be one of his flings too!’Neela ignored her resentment and said, “Sir, what do we do now? You’d like to enter Dairaionji Temple, right? Is that still possible?”Alex replied. “Yes, I can. But you guys might not. Neela, bring her away from this place first. I’ll be with you guys in a bit.”Anna didn’t understand what Alex and Neela were talki
Unexpectedly, William continued to say the following— “Kill me… kill me…”“What?” Alex was shocked, freezing up.‘How could I possibly kill my own father?’With this, tears trickled down his cheeks.William continued to speak to him telepathically, seemingly impatient. “Quick, kill me now, shatter my soul. Else you’d be a grave danger…”After saying that, his expression became twisted. He seemed to be in immense pain.His soul power was shaking as well. Some traces of a new soul power had been generated, suppressing William’s soul… “D*mn it. Who are you? Who the heck are you?!”“Why are you doing this? Come out here and face me—”Alex yelled, nearly breaking down. As a son, he couldn’t possibly stay calm in this situation.Despite that, the powerful being’s divided soul didn’t respond to Alex in the slightest, as if it couldn’t hear him. In just a few moments, William fell silent once again, laying on the bottom of the vase, not moving an inch.“Dad…” Alex muttered under
