Rubern's potential completely erupted, and Adrian found it somewhat challenging to defend against the onslaught. However, the current Adrian was far beyond his previous self.Adrian's inherent strength was already vigorous, reaching the pinnacle of level seven. Now, it was purer and more robust, making it even more difficult for Rubern to defeat him.Moreover, the current situation clearly favored Adrian."Rubern, that's enough," Adrian uttered.Then, he slightly retracted his hand. Countless streams of energy swept into Rubern's body, piercing through it."Ah!"Rubern's facial muscles twitched, and he screamed in pain. The sensation of his body being pierced felt like having an iron rod thrust through his mouth and coming out from below. It was a pain, as if his heart was being torn apart.As a result of this blow, Rubern's energy dissipated entirely, and all his strength turned into nothingness."My strength, my strength!" Rubern rolled on the ground like a mad beast. "Adrian
This was the conclusion of the conflict between the two, destined to end with the death of one.The eight elders took it lightly, showcasing the generosity of true power. Everett had a solemn expression as he extended his right hand, grabbing something shining with golden light from the void. It was the treasure Rubern had used—the Divine Cherry Petal."Ah..." The elders sighed collectively.Edmund told Adrian, "Congratulations, Adrian. After our discussion just now, we have decided to accept you as a senior member!"This news astonished everyone in the arena. Yet, upon reflection, it was entirely reasonable. Adrian's unprecedented and powerful methods had taken everyone by surprise. Even many senior members might not be his match.The faction would undoubtedly prioritize training him, so when Adrian was accepted as a senior member, most people's reactions were filled with envy rather than shock.Subsequently, Adrian followed the eight elders back to Nebula Sanctum.The differen
Adrian raised his head, gazing at the brilliance shining down from the sky. Faintly, he saw a slender figure in the far-off horizon, facing thunder and lightning without fear, courageously advancing!A long dragon's roar echoed in Adrian's ears—a testament to the strength of a true powerhouse.*Having replaced Rubern, Adrian gradually became a prominent figure in Frostspire, earning the title of a distinguished senior member.At the same time, he didn't forget to establish his own influence within the faction. He knew that only by gaining enough attention within the faction could he get close to the internal affairs of Frostspire and obtain the information he desired.Inner apprentices were entitled to an independent residence for their level. Adrian's residence was none other than the original one belonging to Rubern. However, the faction had assigned personnel to refurbish Rubern's residence before handing it over to Adrian.When Adrian arrived at his new residence, he couldn'
Adrian's strength continued to grow, and his status within the faction naturally rose accordingly. The elders did not restrict many of his actions because of that. It seemed like they were pleased to witness this scene.This was not baseless speculation but something Adrian had distinctly noticed.On one occasion, the elders even took the initiative to approach Adrian, expressing their willingness to provide him with additional resources. They would spare no effort if he had any requirements, and as long as it was within the faction's capacity.This unexpected attention from the faction left Adrian somewhat puzzled. He tried to understand why they were behaving this way.However, the elders didn't explicitly state anything. Even though Adrian understood that the elders were unlikely to harm him in this matter, he refrained from making any requests for the time being.After a pause, Adrian spoke. "I appreciate the elders' kindness, but I currently don't need any additional resource
However, Adrian was no ordinary apprentice. One quiet night, he took a leap, descending along the rushing waterfall into the seemingly bottomless abyss.As Adrian descended, he became increasingly aware of a peculiar aura in the surrounding air. It was a rather sinister presence. Although not dense, Adrian could easily sense its existence.In fact, Adrian first detected this aura in his residence. Following its trail, he quickly found the location of the waterfall and confirmed that the strange aura emanated from beneath it. Now, his earlier speculation had finally been confirmed.Moreover, the farther he descended, the more intense the ominous aura became. When Adrian finally stood at the bottom, he felt a peculiar sensation. He felt as if he were no longer within Frostspire but in a place where an evil presence resided.This bewildered him, making the situation somewhat ironic. Who would have expected such a seemingly ethereal faction to harbor such a place within?However, it w
Adrian appeared remarkably calm despite the overwhelming force. It seemed as though he remained unaffected by the power. When the force attacked, he promptly mobilized his power to resist it. He sought to block the force within a certain range.The immense force caused the stone door to tremble violently. Adrian, however, sensed a unique feeling. The vibrations seemed to be growing increasingly intense as if an unknown entity was preparing to break free.Suddenly, Adrian was deeply captivated by the sight. His attention was so fixated that he immediately felt a chill.In response, he released a powerful attack, striking toward the door. However, the abrupt strike caught Adrian off guard and forced him to retreat quickly, creating a considerable distance between him and the door.At that moment, it became apparent that something behind the door was trying to break free, rushing fiercely toward Adrian.A chilling howl followed, and Adrian felt an indescribable sensation as if everyt
Adrian was ready to follow them immediately. However, another elder beside him spoke at that moment. "Elias, is it appropriate for you to do this?"Elias frowned slightly. "What's the issue here?"The other elder continued. "Elias, no matter how remarkable Adrian is, he is just an apprentice of our faction. Is it necessary to reveal so much to an apprentice?""This statement is incorrect!"Before Elias could respond, another figure emerged from the darkness. As everyone looked over, they were surprised to see the Supreme Master appearing at this time. His sudden appearance left them puzzled, unsure of his purpose.The Supreme Master spoke in a calm tone. "Although Adrian is an apprentice of our faction, his strength is remarkable. I believe he will be very helpful in the face of the future challenges our Frostspire will encounter."They didn't expect the Supreme Master to make such a statement."But..."The other elder seemed to want to say something more.However, the Supreme
Originally, they shouldn't have disclosed this situation to the apprentices. However, now that Adrian had discovered it, they had no other choice.The Supreme Master sighed. "Since you now know about these things, there's no need for us to hide anything. Besides, we would have told you about these things in due time anyway."Adrian hadn't expected such hidden circumstances. However, seeing the Supreme Master's reaction, he suddenly understood. Regardless, since the issue here had been resolved, the following matters seemed relatively easy to handle.Adrian immediately said, "In that case, let me join as well!"He appeared quite decisive, and the Supreme Master and the others were surprised by his response. They seemed unsure why he answered so affirmatively.Adrian smiled at the Supreme Master and continued. "Supreme Master, since you've told me, it seems you want me to join, right? If that's the case, I see no reason to refuse.""True!" the Supreme Master and the others finally
