CHAPTER 109
Kane's muscles rippled with newly awakened power, every subtle movement carrying an explosive strength that hadn't existed before. The sickly pallor that had haunted him for the past few weeks had vanished without a trace. Neither exhaustion nor weakness remained.His meridians had long since been repaired, every fractured pathway painstakingly restored.And now, deep within his lower belly, a brand-new core had finally taken shape.The cultivation core was even stronger than the one he had possessed previously, forged into something that felt almost indestructible. Not only that, its capacity to contain and compress energy far surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator's core.He could now inhale the surrounding energy and convert it into his own nearly twice as fast as before.No, almost three times as fast.The tragedy of the Dark Forest had ultimately become the greatest blessing of his life.If Theon hadn't caused trouble and forced Solvyn to publicly 'handle' him, he would never h
CHAPTER 108
ZIRCON GROVE, MIDNIGHTUnderground ChambersThe room was steeped in darkness, illuminated only in scattered pockets by seven crimson candles. The other aegis cores that had once hung suspended in midair had all disappeared, drained completely dry before shattering into nothingness.Now, all of that power coursed through Kane.As for Kane, he sat cross-legged with nothing but his inner pants covering him. Across his back, several intricate patterns had been drawn.Or rather, engraved.Shadow runes glittered beneath the skin of his back, weaving together into something that resembled an ancient, twisted map.On the left side of his lower belly, something burned beneath his flesh, visible through the skin like imprisoned balls of flame.The object was hexagonal in shape, endlessly dragging in energy from the surrounding environment.It glowed a dark, flaming crimson, searing him from the inside out. Sweat coated every inch of his body, leaving his skin slick beneath the dancing candlelig
CHAPTER 107
The hall was considerably emptier by the time Theon arrived. The bustling atmosphere from earlier had all but disappeared, leaving behind only a handful of people coming and going about their own business. As for the four boys assigned to his team, they were nowhere to be seen.The girl behind the reception counter was leisurely reading a book, her legs propped casually on the table before her as though she hadn't a care in the world.She glanced at Theon the moment he descended the stairs, gave a dismissive scoff, then promptly looked away and buried herself back in her book.Some prejudices, it appeared, ran far deeper than reason.Despite watching him defeat those four guards fair and square, her terrible opinion of him hadn't softened in the slightest. If anything, it seemed to have grown even worse.Theon inhaled deeply, forcing away the urge to sneer.There was no point jumping to conclusions.Perhaps they had arrived while he was still resting and assumed he wasn't coming. Or p
CHAPTER 106
Once Theon was done eating, he followed the wooden identification card he had been given to locate his temporary room.According to the engraved directions, it was situated inside the dormitory reserved for students serving under the Guard Guild.There had always been rumors floating around the academy that once students officially joined the Security Bureau, many willingly gave up their accommodations in Amethyst Court or Silver Court just to move into the guard guild dormitories. The living conditions here were far superior, the resources more abundant, and the treatment noticeably better.Theon let out a quiet scoff.Solvyn was truly dedicated to making his security dogs loyal.The man understood human nature frighteningly well. Feed them well enough, reward them generously, and the moment he barked, bite, they would leap without hesitation to sink their fangs into whoever he pointed at.Who wouldn't remain obedient under a master who wielded the carrot-and-stick method with such t
CHAPTER 105
Theon ignored the probing gazes that seemed determined to drill straight through his skin. It was as though they wanted to peel away every layer of flesh, strip him down to the marrow, and discover what he was truly made of.Without sparing them another glance, he made his way toward the refectory.There were many things he could afford to ignore, but hunger certainly wasn't one of them.By the time he stepped inside, most of the room's occupants had already finished eating and drifted away. It was well into midmorning now, and the once bustling dining hall had quieted considerably. The lingering aroma of freshly cooked food still hung pleasantly in the air, mixing with the faint chatter of a few late diners scattered across the spacious hall.Theon stopped before the serving counter and flashed the two girls standing behind it a bright, effortlessly charming smile.One of them immediately hissed beneath her breath and shifted several steps away as though avoiding a contagious disease
CHAPTER 104
Mark arrived first, sword outstretched, multiple sword shadows overlapping one another as they surged toward Theon like a rolling tide. He truly was experienced and had the skill to back up his arrogance. Every movement was crisp, controlled, and backed by countless hours of training. Theon merely twirled the wooden stick in a smooth arc. The seemingly ordinary motion carried an indescribable rhythm. One by one, the sword shadows were knocked apart before they could even reach him, collapsing like illusions struck by a violent gale. With an elegant stab, he intercepted the real sword, halting its advance as though stopping nothing more than a falling leaf. Then, with the lightest of pushes, he redirected its momentum. Mark's eyes narrowed. His wrist bent instantly, attempting to change the sword's trajectory before the opening could widen. Almost at the same moment, Wilson appeared behind Theon like a phantom. His saber flashed. Filled with deliberate viciousness, it slashed
