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
Adrian waited for the Supreme Master and the others to make their final decision.After a moment of silence, the Supreme Master finally spoke. "Hmm, I think your suggestion makes sense. Let's do as you say!"Following this decision, the Supreme Master and the others went to the faction square and summoned all the apprentices. They shared all the information with them.Initially, they expected the apprentices to be shocked or terrified upon hearing such news. To their surprise, the reactions were rather calm, and many expressed their willingness to actively contribute and help the faction overcome the challenges.This response warmed the hearts of the elders. As Adrian had stated, all the apprentices acted promptly, showing no hesitation.*After four to five days of intense efforts, everything was finally arranged. Now, they were fully prepared for what lay ahead.However, in the long period that followed, no one came to cause trouble in the faction. This strange occurrence puzz
"Is this your defense? Useless!" The shadowy figure roared in disdain. Then, it charged straight toward the crowd.Despite the initial assault not breaking through their defenses, subsequent attacks followed rapidly, displaying significant strength.Frostspire's members, however, had mobilized all their power. Their defensive capabilities were not inferior to their attackers. Despite the invaders' relentless efforts, they failed to breach the faction's defenses."We'll retreat!" The invaders realized they couldn't gain any advantage and immediately vanished from sight.Simultaneously, Adrian swiftly moved, already in a rainforest beneath Frostspire. Normally, within the faction's influence, all creatures, even insects and birds, would remain peaceful due to the powerful enchantments. The appearance of bandits and thieves was unthinkable unless they sought death, as the protective formations would instantly annihilate them.Yet, there were strange footsteps now, resembling the soun
Adrian wasn't foolish. After experiencing some setbacks, he learned from them. He immediately circulated the aura essence within his body, emulating the black-robed man by empowering his entire body. Instantly, his muscles bulged, and his arms seemed to have grown a full circle. He appeared more robust overall.Engaging in combat became less strenuous for Adrian. His innate advantage of having abundant spiritual energy gradually nullified the man's superiority. Adrian even managed to find an opportunity to directly punch the man's chest, sending him flying into a tree.As the man crashed into the tree, another figure landed before Adrian. This time, it was a woman dressed in black. However, unlike the man, her black attire bore a phoenix emblem.One dragon and one phoenix—it seemed these two were a pair. The woman addressed the man, "Ignatius, take a rest for a while. I'll deal with this kid."Adrian sensed a peculiar aura emanating from the woman, a pervasive spiritual energy with
When faced with imminent death, most people would display unprecedented tension, and some might even break down.However, Adrian's composure was a rarity that few could achieve. Taking a deep breath, he knew that resisting head-on was futile. Victory lay in clever strategy.Now, Adrian understood that his only chance against Solaris was to utilize the abundant spiritual energy within him. However, releasing this potent energy became a current dilemma.As the breath of death drew nearer, Adrian found himself in a predicament. Finally, the blade cut into his skin, and blood oozed out, accompanied by sharp pain. This pain acted as a catalyst, igniting a surge of powerful spiritual energy within him.Simultaneously, Adrian released a thunderous roar, stopping Solaris' assault.Solaris somersaulted several times in mid-air before stabilizing herself.Upon closer inspection, Adrian stood unharmed in his original position. His eyes glowed crimson, and a terrifying aura enveloped him, em
Fear filled Ignatius' eyes, leaving him bewildered and unsure. The gruesome death of Solaris sent shivers down his spine. The young teenager before him seemed to harbor a devil within his body."Please, spare me! I'm willing to hand over all the treasures on me!" pleaded Ignatius.Adrian replied, "But you wanted to kill me just now!""Great sir, forgive me for being ignorant! We didn't recognize you earlier. You're powerful! Don't lower yourself to deal with people like us. We are just following orders!""Following orders? Who gave the orders? Speak!" Adrian rebuked angrily."This..." Ignatius hesitated. The person behind this was incredibly powerful, far beyond their ability to resist. Revealing the information might result in instant death. They were just small fry, incapable of resisting.Seeing Ignatius remain silent, Adrian snorted. "Fine, keep it to yourself. I don't want to kill you, actually. Now, hand over everything you have and then get lost. Don't step within the rang
From intermediate level seven, he broke through to the peak stage. The pinnacle of level seven marked a soaring advancement. The path ahead would be even more expansive. Someday, he would truly reach the summit!The joy in Adrian's heart was beyond words. His body trembled, and the accumulated snow around him scattered. With a leap, he moved out, his agility now several times greater than before. As he darted through the woods, he resembled a fleeting shadow, incredibly swift.At that moment, a voice echoed. "I didn't expect you to reach the profound stage in just a year, truly beyond my imagination!"The Supreme Master appeared seemingly out of nowhere. He walked over to Adrian and said, "Your talent in the immortality arts is truly remarkable. Achieving such results in just a year is truly commendable."Adrian scratched his head and responded modestly. "It's nothing, Supreme Master, you're too kind."The Supreme Master looked at Adrian, holding a bottle of pills and a paper tali
