All the captives were freed, and they thanked the Fist clan members before leaving.Barek met with his son.“I’m sorry, Father,” Randy lowered his head in shame. “Because of me…”Barek snorted. “Don’t make such foolish mistakes again.”They did not exchange a hug but simply a few words.“Also…” Barek looked in Lexar’s direction. “Why don’t you try joining the southwind sect?”Randy was a bit startled. “I heard that particular sect’s entrance exam is treacherous. I don’t think I can win it as I am now.”“Then you just have to train harder before the exam begins,” Barek said. “You still have a couple of months, so I’ll be personally training you. I heard that Old Oak Simon’s grandson is also attempting to enter that sect. So, you have to make sure to pass the exam and get into the sect. Otherwise, our family will fall behind. Understand?”“Y-Yes.” Randy did not look confident despite nodding.Meanwhile, Lexar was being praised by the other hunters of the clan.“You did great, Young Mast

The old guard Hector saw what happened to the four elders and was shaken down to the core.With shaking fingers, he whistled as loud as he could, trying to alert the guards.One of the four core disciples that entered the village heard the whistle and pointed their finger at him.A bolt of lightning came straight at Hector in a flash.Hector barely managed to dodge use Split Step, or so he thought. The lightning still abruptly turned ninety degrees and hit him head on.Hector’s clothes were burned to crisp, and he collapsed on all fours. “Turning such a hard to control attack in midair… Does he have a psychic core in him? If all four of them are as strong, no one in the clan can stop them, except maybe the patriarch.”As Hector predicted, many guards who tried to stop the four core disciples were all beaten in single strikes.The guard captain Jack furiously attacked a core disciple wearing metal gauntlets.Jack’s attacks were easily absorbed by the gauntlets, and then all of that ene

Duncan’s words were brutal, but Enron couldn’t disagree.The Fist clan was no longer part of the Thousand Terra clans, and in the past century, its name only got quieter.Even in Redstone county, the Fist clan wasn’t known to everybody. If such a clan were to disappear, then the martial association might not take action to punish Duncan.While Enron was lost in thought, he heard a cracking noise.He looked to his right, and cracks began to form on another one of the statues.It was Cobbo’s statue.Duncan was a little surprised. Enron had managed to burn through the petrifying aura with his own aura, but Cobbo was achieving his freedom in a different way. But his process was very slow.“Interesting…” Duncan said a bit casually. “I wasn’t expecting a remote clan to have not one but two masters to break out of my stupefying technique. That makes it all the more possible for you people to have defeated my brother. Which one of you four is the patriarch?” His gaze was set on Enron. “Is it

“Who was it? Who attacked you?” Duncan asked angrily. “Tell me who it is, and I’ll make them pay!”“Grandfather,” Felicia wiped her tears and said, “stop harming these villagers. It was one of these villagers that helped me escape from the assassins that ambushed us.”“...What?” Duncan was startled. He pondered for a couple of seconds and said, “Are you sure they weren’t acting together?”“I’m your granddaughter. I’m not that stupid,” she said. “Please don’t harm these villagers, or I won’t be able to forgive myself.”Duncan exhaled audibly. “Alright.”He released his aura throughout the village, and the mud began to recede back into the earth as though it was water.All the people that were buried alive were freed.Other than the damage that had already been done, the streets looked cleaner than before now. And even the three stone statues broke open, and the elders were also freed.The three core disciples withdrew their weapons into their storage rings.“Tell me exactly what happe

A few hours earlier.Gunnar was heading out of the village. He saw two kids struggling to jump and catch a mango that was high up in the tree.“What are you doing?” Gunnar asked them. “Can’t you just climb the tree?”“We’re trying to improve our jump power,” the kids said.“Who are you kidding?” He caught their ears. “You’re not climbing it because the trunk is on the other side of the wall.”“Haha,” the kids laughed with a bit of embarrassment. “Help us, Brother Gunnar.”In the fist clan, it was allowed to take fruits from neighbors’ trees without permission from the branches that grew beyond the perimeter walls.Gunnar could jump high and get the fruit, but he told the kids,”Fine. Make a step for me.”The two six-year-old kids joined their arms and made a ladder-step for him. Gunnar used that for footing and jumped high. He caught a stem that had three mangoes and plucked them at once.“Move,” he shouted.The kids moved away. Gunnar landed on his feet without any problem.Gunnar gave
