Jiro Kobayashi couldn’t help furrowing his brows.It seemed that this stunning beauty and super-rich heiress was going to be extremely hard to win over.Just as Jiro Kobayashi was wondering how to approach and pursue Keiko Ito, Alan and Kara had already sped back and forth across the lake several times.After Kara had her fill of fun, the cook at the Brown residence had prepared a lavish feast. She docked the speedboat back at the boathouse.She then returned to the villa with Alan. Burt warmly invited Alan to sit in the luxurious Chinese-style dining room of his villa.When arranging the seats, Burt deliberately had Kara sit next to Alan. He also opened a bottle of top-grade Maotai that he had collected for many years, handed it to Kara, and instructed:Kara, you are in charge of pouring wine for Master Alan. Make sure his glass is never empty.Kara took the bottle and said coquettishly:I got it, Dad. Don’t worry.Burt smiled and added:Oh, and Kara, Master Alan is eating at our hom

Hearing the young lady’s order, Koichi Tanaka naturally nodded without hesitation. Jiro Kobayashi assumed that Keiko Ito was used to being served during meals, so he did not think much of it. After all, even when eating out at a restaurant, there were waiters on hand.When they reached the dining room, Keiko Ito and Jiro Kobayashi sat facing each other.The presidential suite was very spacious, and the dining room was equally luxurious. One long Western dining table could easily seat at least twelve people.Thus, as the two sat opposite each other at the table, there was a comfortable distance between them, which put Keiko Ito slightly more at ease.After sitting down, Kobayashi took the initiative to start a conversation with Keiko Ito.Miss Ito, you must have been in Pless City for quite some time, right?Keiko Ito nodded.I’ve been here for twenty days.Kobayashi asked again,Then have you had a chance to visit Pless City properly? It’s quite a beautiful city.Keiko Ito asked calml

Takehiko Ito spoke with a tone of rebuke:Martial arts was only meant to be a hobby for you, something to practice casually. I never intended for you to pour all your time and energy into it.You must understand that you are the young lady of the Ito family. A lady should behave like a lady. What is the point of fighting others in the ring every day?Keiko Ito said firmly:Father, martial arts is the lifelong pursuit I have dedicated myself to! If necessary, I am willing to give up love and marriage for martial arts!Nonsense!Takehiko Ito flew into a rage:You are my daughter, carrying the blood of the Ito family. How could you abandon the continuation of our bloodline for mere martial arts? Do you have any respect for the ancestors of the Ito family?I… Keiko Ito was left speechless.She truly felt guilty after hearing her father’s words, so she quickly said:Father, I know I was wrong. It’s not that I won’t consider marriage at all; I just don’t want to think about it too early at

Even the closest friend and most important business partner of my father would get no special treatment from her, as long as they had no blood relation with her and were not her elder.Her life goals right now are extremely simple: first, win this year’s World University Sanda Competition; then graduate from the University of Tokyo smoothly; and next, start preparing for the next Olympic Games.At the last Olympic Games, she was too young and burdened with heavy studies, so she was unable to participate. But the next Olympics have become the stage she longs for most.She dreams of winning an Olympic gold medal—and not just one.Winning gold at the Olympics and then defending her title at the next Games has become her greatest pursuit in life.Koichi Tanaka stood there with his phone, facing the expectant Jiro Kobayashi, feeling extremely awkward.He never expected his young lady to be so unyielding; after saying so much, she still refused to meet Mr. Kobayashi.Koichi Tanaka had no ch

At that moment, Kara pressed the ignition button. The four side-by-side V8 marine engines roared to life, their low idle sound even more powerful than a supercar.Kara slowly steered the speedboat out of the boathouse, then grinned mischievously at Alan.Master Alan, hold on tight!With that, she suddenly slammed the throttle all the way down!The entire boat exploded with tremendous power and shot forward violently.Although Alan was prepared, he was still shocked by the boat’s overwhelming force.The lake was wide open, so driving the speedboat didn’t require constant attention to the road like on land.She could practically drive with her eyes closed — the whole lake had become Kara’s playground.Her personality was a mix of gentle and bold, so she naturally loved intense, thrilling extreme sports.But to Kara’s surprise, Alan remained completely calm the entire time, which left her a little disappointed.She had invited Alan on the boat hoping to see him look nervous. After all, e

As soon as Jesse saw Alan finish his tea, he quickly refilled the cup respectfully and asked eagerly,Master Alan, I wonder if you’re satisfied with the tea?Alan nodded with a smile.Not bad, Jesse. You must have learned this properly. I never thought someone with your personality could calm down enough to study tea ceremony.Jesse used to be a clueless rich kid.Not only ignorant, but also pretentious, wandering around antique streets buying worthless junk and treating every piece of trash like a treasure.Yet after not seeing him for a while, the guy had really mellowed out and grown more mature.When Jesse heard Alan’s praise, he blushed and quickly explained,Master Alan, I was young and foolish before, and I offended you. Please don’t take it to heart. These days, my uncle has made me stay home and reflect, and learn tea ceremony to cultivate my character. I’m not as impetuous as I used to be…Alan nodded.Good. The worst things about people are impatience and arrogance. That yo

For at the moment of contact, the blade light pierced through the dark golden dragon flame.The dark golden dragon flame showed no change at all.Yet everyone clearly heard a dragon’s roar echo from deep within the flame, a roar filled with terror.As if something had been erased.Only the five Peak Masters could see that, at the moment of collision, the Star River of Sword Intent clashed with the Heavenly Dragon Will hidden inside the flame and washed it away completely.With the Heavenly Dragon Will dispersed, the dragon flame naturally lost its core essence.And so, at this moment, countless eyes inside and outside the Stone Dragon space watched in horror as the fiercely burning dark golden dragon flame began to fade.The dark gold receded, gradually turning into the color of ordinary fire.Albert’s hand, gripping the hilt, slowly lowered. He was utterly exhausted mentally. The previous slash had used no divine art, yet the toll on his body and mind was terrifying.For it had been

The moment this thought struck him, Albert stepped forward amid countless cries of alarm, facing the dark golden dragon flame head-on.When the dark golden dragon flame roared down, Albert immediately felt its terror. The bright three‑light glazed glow protecting his body was nearly half‑dissolved in an instant.Only his dual soul power, infused with spirit traces, revealed extraordinary tenacity and tangled briefly with the flame. Yet for all its high grade, its sheer strength was insufficient. As the dragon flame raged, the dual soul power quickly vanished.Agony shot through Albert’s physical body—a clear warning.Albert’s gaze darkened slightly. He had not underestimated the fearsome flame, but experiencing it firsthand still left him stunned by its power.No wonder even Baron had refused to push further and chosen to retreat decisively.The rapidly fading three‑light glazed barrier around Albert did not escape the crowd’s notice, drawing gasps of alarm. By the look of it, even Al

Thomas nodded slightly. Their Dragon Tooth Vein did not have many divine body-refining arts. After all, the Dragon Tooth Vein was famous for offense. The Eight Armor Art that Dale practiced was the only intermediate-grade body-refining art. It had extremely weak offensive power; its only trait was its monstrous defense.Most body-refining arts also boosted physical strength, but this art had no such effect — it poured all its effects purely into defense.That was why even those in the Dragon Tooth Vein who wanted to practice body-refining arts would not choose it.It was an extremely obscure divine body-refining art.Still, its one redeeming feature was its terrifying defense. It was said that once one reached the Eight Armor Realm of the Eight Armor Art, its defense could rival that of a high-grade divine art.In the past, an elder of the Five Heavenly Dragon Veins had mastered this art to a profound level. With only 8-star divine-level strength, he had taken a full attack from a Hol

I’m not aiming for the Dragon Head.Dale quickly waved his hands with an honest smile. But my third brother has a chance. So if I run into you during the Scale Seizing, even though I don’t like fighting, I’m afraid I’ll have to hold you off for a bit.We’ll see if Albert lives up to your high hopes, Baron said dryly.Dale chuckled and didn’t argue. Instead, he looked up at the mottled stone stairs ahead and sighed gloomily.If he could, he really didn’t want to suffer through this final hundred meters.But now that he’d come this far under everyone’s watchful eyes, if he didn’t even try, Isabel would probably beat him up for a month after the Dragon Head competition ended. He was tough enough to take it, but being glared at by her for a month sounded miserable.So in the end, under countless stares, he stepped forward.At once, nine dragons descended upon him.Dale gasped, his slightly chubby face twisting in pain. This power was far stronger than the eight dragons earlier.And the te

He pushed his pseudo 9-star Wind Dragon Soul to the limit, and a faint Wind Dragon Spirit Messenger appeared behind him. Clearly, he was unleashing his power without any reservation.His forehead was covered with bulging veins, and low roars burst from his throat.When Baron’s steps reached 2,970 meters, the Star of Heaven floating behind him let out a mournful wail.The nine dragons coiling around him changed once more. They began to merge, and in an instant, they transformed into a single gigantic fire dragon. The dragon loomed in the void, its dragon eyes staring indifferently at Baron. In the next moment, its body ignited, turning into a wisp of dark golden flame that shot toward him.To onlookers, this dark golden flame did not seem overwhelmingly powerful. But in Baron’s eyes, it was as if the entire world had been set ablaze.This flame had exceeded the limit of what he could endure. If he forced himself to withstand it, he would suffer severe injuries.In that brief moment, Ba

Everyone’s heart gave a slight jolt.That was the Star of Heaven.Though they had been prepared for it, when the legion commanders saw the energy star forming behind Baron, their hearts were still filled with mixed emotions.Baron had truly broken through to the Primary Heavenly Spirit Realm.They also understood that by revealing the Star of Heaven openly, Baron intended to charge to the top in one swift push.As the Star of Heaven manifested behind him, the energy of this world was stirred, surging endlessly toward the star behind him. It was then transformed by the star and poured into Baron’s body.His soul power fluctuations rose steadily in a leap forward.A powerful aura of soul power swept outward, affecting even Laura and Albert, who were not far behind, and slowing their climbing steps.In terms of sheer soul power, the Primary Heavenly Spirit Realm far surpassed the Colorful Soul Body.Each Star of Heaven was like an engine—it not only directly boosted one’s soul power but
