The Grimoire was already wounded, and Samuel’s last strike had worsened its injuries. The tear in its soul grew larger, leaving it unstable and unable to think clearly. With a distorted shriek, it charged straight at him, it instinctively covered itself in an illusion.Samuel instantly conjured a shield of unholy energy, its eerie glow burning so brightly that the Grimoire recoiled, almost blinded. Snarling, the beast swung its hand and unleashed a Soul Claw. The black claw ripped through the air with terrifying speed, shattering the shield like fragile glass. The attack drained most of its remaining power, but its lethality was undeniable.The surge of hostile energy made Samuel’s heart pound. He didn’t even attempt to block it. This isn’t something I can face head-on. Without hesitation, he vanished, his movement technique so fast it was like slipping through space itself.The claw ripped through where he had stood just a breath ago. Had he been even a fraction of a second slower, h

“Divine Doctor Sam, can you treat my injury now?” Eric asked carefully after serving Samuel tea and snacks.Samuel had been taking his sweet time savoring the tea, while Eric was eager to get the treatment over with. He hadn’t realized it earlier, but Divine Doctor Sam seemed to enjoy people’s plight.“Oh, right. Okay. The tea is very nice; I almost forgot the purpose of coming here.” Samuel laughed before taking out his silver needles. “Alright, last time I had already forced the poison to gather in one place, so it will be very easy now.”“Especially now that I’m already in the Qi Gathering Realm and my spiritual power has also improved,” he thought to himself.“Here, Divine Doctor?” Eric asked.“Yes, here. It won’t take time anyway, and I don’t have the patience to climb upstairs,” he explained.Eric nodded, quickly pulling off his shirt until only his singlet was left. He lay on the couch as Samuel began applying acupuncture. Samuel inserted the silver needles and sent strands of

Inside the house, Samuel was surprised to see a white-haired beauty sleeping on the couch.Is she Cesar’s sister? he wondered, studying her carefully. He tried to sense her qi signal and immediately noticed something was off. However, he couldn’t determine the exact issue unless he examined her body with spiritual energy.The couch was small, and he worried she might develop back pains if she stayed there too long. Deciding to wake her and send her to her room, he tapped her gently.Her eyes snapped open instantly, glowing pure white before fading back to normal human color. The sudden change startled Samuel.The first thing she saw upon waking was Samuel’s wide-eyed expression. She panicked, realizing she had made a mistake by falling asleep on her first day of duty.“Go upstairs and sleep. This couch is too small and might cause complications if you stay on it too long,” he said softly.The white-haired girl hesitated for a moment before asking, “Are you Mr. Samuel?”“Yes,” he repli

Samuel used the mysterious technique his tutors had taught him in the crystal space to uncover hidden things within the human body. The technique drained his energy, but at last, he managed to see the source.He curled his lips. He had found the problem, and the solution wasn’t something particularly difficult.“Divine doctor, what did you find?” Richard asked, leaning closer.“Well, it’s not exactly what I expected.” Samuel chuckled. “Your grandfather isn’t sick—he’s cursed.”“Cursed!” Richard exclaimed. “But who would want to curse him?”Samuel and Eric gave him strange looks. Richard froze, then quickly realized how foolish his question sounded. With his father’s position, he naturally had many enemies, and surely among them were powerful and sinister figures.“Well, divine doctor, is there any way to remove the curse?” he asked.“Yes, there is. The curse was most likely placed by a mage well-versed in such arts. Its strength doesn’t come from raw power. Compared to curses cast by

Samuel arrived early at school. Both Jude and Christina had been calling him incessantly, especially Christina, who was worried he might not be able to get good grades in the national exam, which was less than a month away, and fail to get into a good school.“Samuel!” Jude was the first to spot him. He ran over and wrapped his arm around Samuel’s shoulder.“Long time no see! I almost thought you had already quit school,” he laughed, his fat body shaking.“It hasn’t even been that long, and you already think I’ve quit school?” Samuel pushed him away slightly.“Come on, I copied some notes for you.” Jude dragged him toward the classroom. Just as they were about to enter, they came across Christina coming from the opposite direction. She looked so beautiful, almost angelic. Her face was expressionless as she walked with calm confidence.When she spotted Samuel from a distance, the blank look on her face immediately brightened into a sweet smile. But then, as if she suddenly remembered s
