Drake’s ability to conceal himself was extraordinary. Even those more powerful than him usually could not detect him. But the old man’s glance confirmed that Drake had been exposed. That Martial King had allowed Drake to leave unharmed to report back to Dustin. This could only mean one thing: he was waiting for Dustin’s next move. Also, that old man was from the Divine Hall… Those two words struck a nerve with Dustin. The Divine Hall might very well have been the mastermind behind the Fox family massacre. This organization was likely enormous, yet frustratingly, Dustin had not been able to uncover any useful intelligence about them ever since he killed that Martial King from the Divine Hall at Lannopolis. Despite being incredibly powerful and possibly a top ranked faction like Hell Hall, they remained a ghostly enigma. Dustin’s face darkened as he contemplated that. “My Liege, let me investigate again. This time, I won’t return until I uncover something usef

Robert’s tone was nonchalant. He was not being dismissive. Rather he was confident of his invincibility. Years of grueling training in the snowy mountains had honed his abilities to the Advanced Martial Saint level which was enough for him to overwhelm any prodigies of his generation. “Your abilities are indeed impressive, but don’t let overconfidence blind you,” Lord Barbenheim said in warning. “Remember, there’s always someone stronger. The surviving descendant of the Fox family is also far more powerful than his peers. He will be your greatest opponent if he joins the competition.” Robert merely chuckled in response. “The Fox family? Why does that matter? The Fox family of old may have had some strength, but didn’t you crush them with a wave of your hand? “Even if this mere surviving descendant of theirs has mastered their martial arts techniques, he holds no threat. Besides, anything he knows, I know as well. In fact, I’ve perfected the Fox family techniques far be

Robert’s aura surged to its peak and radiated an oppressive energy fueled by his rage. No one had ever dared to toy with him like this before. He wanted revenge. He wanted Dustin to beg for mercy. “The Roaring Wave!” Robert unleashed a powerful strike toward Dustin with a furious cry. In an instant, a surge of pure energy with unrelenting force roared toward Dustin like tidal waves. This was Robert’s trump card, a martial art so potent he rarely needed to use it in fights. But Dustin had provoked his wrath and left him no choice but to unleash it. He was confident that his ultimate move would terrify Dustin… Yet Dustin remained expressionless and unperturbed. Dustin did not even glance at Robert as he held James like a lifeless puppet. As the overwhelming energy stormed toward him, Dustin calmly turned with James in his hand and watched Robert’s every move. The energy struck and surged past Dustin. Dustin remained motionless and did not even react t

Dustin’s body glowed gold as well. The martial art Robert used was the Guide to Slaying a Dragon, and it was one of the ultimate techniques of the Fox family. When the Fox family was slaughtered, everything they owned had been divided between the murderers. Lord Barbenheim was among the people who played a crucial role in it, so he received some of the martial arts passed down through generations of the Fox family. Robert had studied these martial arts techniques since he was a little boy. Naturally, he was highly skilled at it. But Dustin had only gotten the Fox family’s martial arts techniques not too long ago. At this very moment, Robert wanted to use the Guide to Slaying a Dragon to teach Dustin a lesson. The victor seemed obvious. But Dustin had the secret skill Lucas had taught him. There was a powerful divine art that would allow anyone to learn everything else quickly and even swiftly figure out the essence of anything. Buzz… A loud buzz rose in the air. T

Ruben scowled at that. From the moment he became a Martial King, he had never met someone as arrogant and reckless as Dustin. To think that he would say he wanted to kill Robert right in front of him… As a Martial King, he was powerful. How could he possibly not save Robert? Besides, Robert himself was an Advanced Martial Saint. Even if Ruben did nothing, Dustin might find it difficult to kill him. “Well, aren’t you confident? You can try. If I really am unable to protect him, I will leave and no longer have a hand in this beef between you two,” Ruben said indifferently. “Why don’t we make a bet? If I win, I don’t need much from you. I just want you to answer a few questions honestly,” Dustin suddenly said. “I know what you’re thinking.” Ruben smiled. “You want to get me worked up so that you can get the information you want.” Dustin narrowed his eyes. Ruben was right. He really could do nothing against the Divine Hall. Last time, when he was at Lannopolis, he
