The cultivation chamber sat atop the tower, centered around a cyan jade platform several meters high. Looking up, one could see the sky beyond. When Albert stepped inside, he was immediately struck dumb—not only by the heaven and earth energy permeating the air, but by how it had condensed into thick, swirling mist all around him.The heaven and earth energy here was far more potent than that around the high-grade soul power tree at Newhurst Academy.As for the cultivation golden chamber of the Martin Clan, it paled in comparison by a mile.The Five-Star Energy Array?Albert’s gaze swept the space around the jade platform, where intricate, profound light patterns flowed faintly in the void, weaving into a unique formation. This formation connected to the heaven and earth outside, constantly drawing in energy to fill the chamber.This so-called energy array sounded simple, yet it was extraordinarily complex—a testament to the profound heritage exclusive to supreme powers.Albert ascend

When Albert arrived outside the First Courtyard Square under Angel’s escort, he beheld the bluestone-forged barracks, watchtowers and training grounds. Countless clangs of sparring and training rang out within, and waves of soul power surged incessantly, converging above the square. A murderous aura crashed forth like a raging flood.What surging, condensed momentum.Albert stared in slight astonishment at the roiling murderous aura above the square. To his perception, the aura had merged into a single entity, undulating like coiling dragons and pythons, poised to strike and brewing a cataclysmic killing intent.Angel spoke, The eight thousand warriors of the First Courtyard Legion stand as one, all practicing the same Dragon’s Breath Soul Refining Art—naturally, their aura is unified as a whole. This is still with the legion leaderless for the moment. Should a Grand Legion Commander wield the Tiger Talisman and Golden Seal, merging the power of eight thousand into one, that mighty fo

He fell silent at this point, for Pamela had been born in a brothel and raised by her elder sister. Her sister had entertained men with her beauty to earn ample resources, enabling the young Pamela to escape the brothel. Driven by this, she strove relentlessly and clawed her way up, her goal being to rise to the high ranks of Dragon’s Fang Vein— to secure protection for her elder sister and ensure her a peaceful life for the rest of her days.This information had been provided to him by Angel. It was fine to speak of the first two, but Pamela was a woman after all, and there was no need to lay bare such details in public.These three shared a common trait: they had humble origins, endured arduous cultivation, and achieved their current status through sheer grit.Thorne, Fiquendo and Pamela all changed countenance at Albert’s words. Pamela, in particular, visibly relaxed her shapely frame when she saw Albert glance at her and fall silent.Yet they all understood the implication of his

Seeing the three bow their heads, the thousand and five hundred soldiers of the Fifth Squad fell silent for a few breaths before bowing in succession.This was their acknowledgment of Albert as their new captain.Comrades, from this day forth, we are brothers-in-arms who fight side by side. Though I am only at the Junior Soul Grandmaster Realm now, I ask you to trust me. This captain of the Junior Soul Grandmaster Realm will never let anyone mock our Fifth Squad. Albert glanced around at everyone, a smile spreading across his handsome face, his voice growing much gentler, no longer as aggressive as before.The crowd fell dumb. After the battle they’d just witnessed, who would dare treat him as an ordinary Junior Soul Grandmaster? Still, Albert spoke the truth—his current realm was only the result of growing up in the Outer Divine Continent. Even so, he had mastered a Divine-grade Soul Art. What extraordinary talent this was! With sufficient resources in the future, he would surely soar

Albert’s sudden shift caught Pamela off guard. Her delicate body tensed, and her slender fingers clenched tightly as she stared at his hand drawing nearer.She could not fathom his intentions. Though an impulse surged to slash off that approaching paw, reason compelled her to force an even more bashful smile instead.Yet just as Albert’s hand was about to brush her smooth, creamy cheek, he halted abruptly.Pamela seethed inwardly. What on earth was this boy playing at?She who had always toyed with men, driving them to distraction, now tasted the sting of being toyed with for the very first time.What do you intend to do, Captain? she murmured plaintively, her delicate brows furrowed in a look that stirred pity in any heart.Albert smiled, withdrawing his hand. You plainly abhor physical contact with the opposite sex, yet you feign such artful flirtation. Does it not weary you?The intelligence Angel had given him was meticulous, even including private secrets deduced from countless c
