The world had never stopped changing.A hundred years ago, the martial arts world had been at its peak. Martial artists could be found almost everywhere, and powerful martial arts families were common. Back then, it was practically impossible to walk down the street without encountering someone connected to the martial world. But things are different now.The number of martial artists had declined dramatically. Most ordinary people didn't even know that martial artists still existed. To them, the scenes they saw in movies and television were nothing more than fiction.They had no idea how complicated the real world actually was.There were entire circles of society that ordinary people would never come into contact with in their entire lives.Although martial artists still existed and secretly influenced many aspects of society, Hudson understood that the moment Crane succeeded in granting people supernatural abilities on a large scale, the decline of traditional martial arts would on

“Honey!”“Honey!”“Honey!”“Honey!”Four voices called out at the same time.Ivory led Shienna and the other two women straight toward Hudson. Without hesitation, she slipped her arm through his and leaned against him affectionately.Ivory had originally planned to keep a low profile. She didn't want to make a scene or draw unnecessary attention to herself and the others. But after hearing Rocko's arrogant remarks and the way he looked down on Hudson, she immediately came up with a plan.When two men tried to prove who was superior, there were usually a few things they compared, money, power, strength, and, of course, the women by their side.Since Rocko dared to look down on her man, Ivory decided to show him exactly how wide the gap between them really was.There was nothing she could do about the accident itself, but this part was easy.The four women deliberately appeared together and revealed their relationship with Hudson all at once.The impact was immediate. The entire area fe

The screams that followed were so loud they sounded almost like the cries of a slaughtered animal. Rocko immediately began begging for mercy.The people watching from the side could only think of one thing: you really couldn't judge a book by its cover.Hudson had looked like an ordinary man, yet he was powerful enough to pin an arrogant, wealthy young man like Rocko beneath his foot without even breaking a sweat. Everyone was now curious about Hudson's background. What kind of person was he? And wasn't he afraid that Rocko would come after him later? But among everyone there, Freya's emotions were the most complicated.Before Hudson arrived, Rocko had made her cry so badly that she had felt completely helpless and alone. At that moment, it had seemed as though her entire world was collapsing. She had even felt as if her life was already over.Then Hudson appeared. He had dealt with Rocko so easily that there was no question about the difference in their strength.The powerful man sta

Hudson knew better than anyone how heavy the consequences of his killings were. Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting here right now, looking for a way to get rid of the hostility that had been building inside him.But he had never killed indiscriminately. Every life he had taken had been tied to circumstances he couldn't simply walk away from. He had been forced into fights, dragged into conflicts, and attacked by people who wanted him dead. He had never sought out bloodshed simply for the sake of it.With a helpless sigh, Hudson explained, "Master, once you're out in the real world, there are times when you simply don't have control over your own fate. It's not that I want to kill people or create bloodshed."Diabolo nodded slowly and sighed."The outside world is complicated. Just because you don't go looking for trouble doesn't mean trouble won't come looking for you."He paused before continuing in a calm, measured voice. "Still, I have to advise you to be careful. Cause and effect a

Diabolo's technique had done more than suppress Hudson's strength. It had also affected the instincts and reaction speed he had developed as a martial artist.Before losing his abilities, Hudson had thought copying the scriptures would be easy. Although the words were unfamiliar and somewhat difficult to understand, he had been a Grandmaster. With his memory, he could have glanced through the entire scripture once and memorized it.Writing it down should have been even easier. At least, that was what he had thought.The moment he actually began, Hudson realized how badly he had underestimated the task.The scripture was difficult to memorize, and some of the characters were incredibly complicated to write. If his hand slipped even slightly or he made a mistake, he had to start over from the beginning.Again and again. If he couldn't finish his assignments, he had to repeat them.For someone who had once stood at the top of the martial world, suddenly becoming an ordinary person who co
