But... when the energy of all these people was intertwined, what method could he possibly use to subdue these chaotic consciousnesses? It seemed like a pipe dream.After all, even divine-tier techniques would be ineffective in such a scenario. And non-divine-tier techniques were completely useless for overwhelming others' minds.A sudden thought struck Albert—he did possess a technique capable of stunning the mind and soul.It was the second Nine-Revolution Technique he had obtained from the Dragon Stele: the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Manifestation.This technique allowed one to condense a shadow of a Heavenly Dragon using immense energy, which contained a wisp of Heavenly Dragon aura and could exude a faint Heavenly Dragon pressure. It possessed the extraordinary power to shake people's spirits and shatter their mental states.As the details of this Nine-Revolution Technique, the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Manifestation, flowed through his mind, joy surged within him. This was the perfect t

Albert was also staring intently at the surging energy coiled like a giant dragon. The overwhelming pressure bore down on him with immense force, yet there was not a trace of fear in his eyes—only a blazing hunger and anticipation.This power was truly irresistible. Once he mastered it, even if he only possessed the Perfect Soul Realm cultivation base, he would still be able to stand toe-to-toe with God-Tier powerhouses.Such was the might of the Twenty Legions of the Five Heavenly Dragon Veins—a unique path to godlike strength.Albert’s fingers tightened around the golden seal, and then he slowly closed his eyes. His own soul power surged upward, transforming into a streak of iridescent light that merged into the colossal torrent of energy. Now, let him test just how formidable it was to wield the Unified Aura of the eight thousand legionnaires of the First Courtyard Legion!The moment Albert’s soul power flowed into that boundless ocean of energy, he instantly sensed the unimaginabl

Albert nodded slightly. This man was among the elites of the First Squad, his strength no less than Fecundo’s. He had once been a loyal follower of Elvis, but it was clear now that he intended to pledge his allegiance to the Grand Legion Commander.After all, when a wall was about to collapse, everyone would give it a push. Elvis was clearly on the verge of defeat. If they continued to follow him down this path of no return, their futures would be all but ruined.Coupled with Albert’s prestigious identity and outstanding talent, anyone with a shred of sense could tell that Albert was most likely a dark horse in the making. It was highly probable that he would hold an important position in Dragon Fang Vein in the days to come.Thus, making this choice at this moment was not all that difficult.Albert nodded again and said in a calm tone: Since you’re here, focus on your drills and don’t harbor any more ulterior motives. Only when the First Courtyard Legion thrives can you all thrive wi

If Albert’s words were nothing more than a bluff, that would be one thing—but if he really meant to follow through...They, the ordinary legionnaires, would be the ones to suffer the consequences.As some rank-and-file members of the First Squad fretted over this, Elvis’s loyal followers had already led a group to his residence.Elvis received them in the living room.Though his face still looked pale, his injuries had actually healed. He listened expressionlessly as the crowd chattered away, a flicker of rage surging in his eyes.He slammed his teacup down hard on the table and said coldly: What an arrogant Grand Legion Commander! His recovery period had been half-truth and half-deception. In reality, he’d planned to use his prestige within the First Squad to hinder Albert’s efforts to unify the First Courtyard Legion. He’d thought that once Albert tasted some hardship, he’d eventually choose to negotiate with him politely, allowing Elvis to salvage some dignity. But he’d never imagi

Once the crowd had dispersed, Pamela and the others stepped forward again to offer their congratulations to Albert. Their faces were lit up with undisguised joy—even the rather composed Thorn wore a broad smile. Though Albert had only been at Dragon Fang Vein for two months, they were, without a doubt, the first group to follow him.Now that Albert had been promoted, their days in the First Courtyard Legion were sure to become much easier.Now that I’ve been promoted to Grand Legion Commander, the position of Fifth Squad Captain will be vacant, Albert said, looking at the three of them with a smile. Who do you three think would be the best fit for it?At his words, the three exchanged glances. Finally, Pamela smiled demurely and said: It should go to Fecundo. He made a breakthrough yesterday—he’s already condensed a Golden Soul Body. Neither of us can compete with him now.Albert looked at Fecundo in surprise. This talented collateral member of the Martin Clan had quite a gift indeed—

It’s a trivial matter. But if I go tell them now that I agree to open the pool three years ahead of schedule, with how shrewd those old foxes are, they’ll probably figure out my purpose right away.Thomas set down his bamboo chopsticks and looked at Albert with a faint smile. They’ll definitely know that I’m agreeing to the early opening because of you. So whether I lose face or not doesn’t depend on me—it depends on you.If you can really put on a dazzling show at the Dragon Aura Pool, seize one of the Coiled Dragon Pillars, and claim a wisp of the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura, then everyone will naturally praise me for my bold vision. But if you come back empty-handed, then people will secretly sneer at this old man for being whimsical and having lost his senses.Thomas asked him, So, do you have the courage to fight for a wisp of the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura—for the sake of this old man’s reputation?Albert was stunned for a moment, then fell silent for a few heartbeats before sa

Everyone craned their necks to look into the box, where lay an exquisitely crafted necklace inlaid with a crystal-clear ruby—one almost the size of an egg.Gasps of astonishment escaped many lips on the spot.These were all connoisseurs; they knew a gem of this caliber was priceless.Seeing the crowd stunned by his ruby necklace, the Third Young Master of the Devinsire family smiled triumphantly and said, I’m sure you know this as well, Miss Lucia—rubies are the most precious of all gemstones. Their international market price alone runs into tens of thousands of US dollars per carat. Especially a specimen as flawless as this one—it weighs a full 26 carats. I even commissioned the top master jeweler at Tiffany to personally cut and set this gem. The piece alone is worth over 20 million US dollars. I do hope you like it.Many onlookers were green with envy, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.Receiving a 20-million-US-dollar gift for one’s birthday was simply mind-boggling.

Alan said, A marriage alliance is just like Tian Ji’s Horse Racing Strategy. The fact that the other party is stronger overall doesn’t mean every single one of their ‘horses’ is better than your best one. Their inferior ‘horses’ might even be no match for your superior ones.Claude nodded repeatedly. Young Master, that makes perfect sense. I’m truly enlightened!Alan waved his hand and smiled. You’ve been deeply rooted in Plass City for years. I’m sure you can see the logic in this. Even if you didn’t figure it out immediately, a small nudge is all it takes to make it clear.At this moment, not far away, Paul was standing idle, holding a wine glass. He truly had a newfound respect for Alan.He felt that Alan had once again surpassed his expectations.Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that all the upper-class figures of Plass City would hold Alan in such high regard.Right now, the man whispering to Alan by his side was none other than the Smith family’s representative

Carla replied shyly, I wouldn’t dare dream of winning the championship. The seeded player from Japan this time is truly formidable—she’s the favorite to take the title, and her skills are definitely far superior to mine.Then she added, But I won’t get discouraged. My goal is to make it to the top three!Alan smiled and said, A dream is only achievable if you dare to dream it. I have full faith in you—I think you’ve got what it takes to claim first place. Most of Japan’s combat and sanda techniques are plagiarized from the essence of Chinese martial arts. When the time comes, you must fight for your country’s honor, teach that Japanese player a good lesson, and seize the championship on our home soil!Carla’s eyes lit up with delight as she asked, Master Alan, do you really believe I can win first place?Alan nodded, Absolutely—I have high hopes for you.Carla beamed and said, Master Alan, then can I ask you to come watch my match?Alan agreed without hesitation, Don’t worry. I’ll def

At the same time, her girlish heart harbored a tinge of quiet complaint, as she couldn’t help but feel that Master Alan hadn’t paid much attention to her and her grandfather lately.She hadn’t seen Master Alan visit the pharmacy again these days, so even though she pined for him day and night, she had no chance to meet him.Priscilla, however, was not as preoccupied with such trivial thoughts as his granddaughter. He simply felt that it had been quite some time since he last saw Master Alan. Ever since he took the Rejuvenation Elixir, he could feel every single day just how vital regaining his youth was to him. Thus, deep down in his heart, he was filled with gratitude toward Alan at all times.So he strode forward quickly, clasped his fists and bowed to Alan, saying respectfully, Master Alan, this old man hasn’t seen you in quite a while. I hope you’ve been well lately?Alan smiled faintly and replied, You flatter me, Divine Physician Priscilla. I’ve been doing quite well recently. H

After all, she was the eldest daughter of one of the city’s top-tier prominent families. Spoiled with fine clothes and good food since childhood, and educated in noble etiquette, she was clearly different from girls from ordinary households.When Lucia saw Alan, she hurried over, overcome with excitement, and said shyly, Master Alan, you’re here.Alan smiled faintly and replied, Miss Lucia, why didn’t you tell me in advance that today is your birthday?Lucia apologized, Please don’t take it amiss, Master Alan. I didn’t mention it because I didn’t want you to go to the trouble and expense of preparing a gift for me.Alan chuckled, It wasn’t any trouble at all. Aren’t we friends? Of course I’d get you a gift for your birthday—I would’ve prepared something for you even if you hadn’t said a word.With that, Alan pulled the small box containing the Rejuvenation Elixir out of his pocket.The box was wrapped so meticulously, however, that no one could guess what lay inside.Seeing that Alan

It was precisely the Rejuvenation Elixir he had given to the head of the Green family that made the latter hold Lucia in exceptionally high regard, thus elevating her status within the Green family higher and higher.For all these reasons, Lucia had always treated him with profound respect.Therefore, it was very likely that Lucia had deliberately concealed the fact that it was her birthday for fear of owing him another debt of gratitude.At this thought, Alan suddenly found the situation quite amusing.Lucia, aren’t you afraid of owing me favors? Then I’ll do you an even bigger one this time.He wasn’t going to go out and buy her a birthday gift; instead, he decided to give her a Rejuvenation Elixir.The miraculous effects of the Rejuvenation Elixir were known to every single member of the upper-class society in Plass City.Everyone had witnessed its incredible potency when the head of the Green family publicly took the elixir at the banquet that day.Alan had even heard rumors that
