Instructor Hill walked over, offered a few words of encouragement to Albert Martin, and then said to the numerous trainees, "Students, starting from next month, you will enter the most crucial stage of the major examination. Whether you can enter the Newhurst Advanced Academy depends on this assessment. So, all of you should work hard on your cultivation."

"Dismissed."

Hearing this, all the trainees looked solemn. They had been studying hard for several years, and what they were striving for was precisely that major examination next month. If they could enter a prestigious institution of higher learning through this, their future achievements would be greatly enhanced.

Albert Martin left the martial arts arena and walked along the path towards the outside of the school. Along the way, he encountered many trainees, and both male and female trainees would look at him. After all, Albert Martin was exceptionally handsome in appearance and had a reputation that everyone in the academy envied.

Albert Martin was already used to these gazes. He stopped at the entrance of the academy. In front of him was a stone wall, on which were recorded all the prodigies who had graduated from the Navia Academy. It was the honor wall of the Navia Academy.

Many students of the Navia Academy had gathered here. They had probably read it countless times, but it was still bustling with activity.

Albert Martin smiled as he looked at a position at the top of the honor wall. A ray of light projected a stunning figure that looked vividly lifelike. Beneath it was engraved the name of a girl.

Emily, an extraordinary genius graduated from the Navia Academy, with a 9-star light soul. Her outstanding talent had drawn praise from countless people in the Newhurst Empire.

After studying in the Navia Academy for two years, before the entrance examination for further education, she was exceptionally admitted to the Newhurst Advanced Academy, the most prestigious in the Newhurst State. In the past hundred years, not a single person from Navia City had been admitted like this. She had already become a legend in the Navia Academy, and countless trainees looked up to her here.

Feeling the gazes of the surrounding trainees looking at him, with envious looks in their eyes whether they were male or female, he understood the reason.

Because he and Emily had been engaged since childhood. To put it bluntly, she was his fiancée.

The first time he met Emily was probably when he was around three years old. Once, his parents went on a long trip and came back with five-year-old Emily. Then his parents took Emily as their disciple. His parents were extremely fond of her.

When they were young, Emily was so outstanding that Albert Martin was lectured by her every day. It was a nightmare back then.

Why did Emily become his fiancée? It was all because of his father. Once, his father got drunk and blurted out a drunken remark, "How nice it would be if Emily were my daughter-in-law." Then the next day, ten-year-old Emily herself wrote a marriage contract by hand and handed it to his stunned father.

That time, his father was almost beaten silly by his mother who rushed him home.

Then his mother asked Emily to take back the marriage contract, but she refused to do so no matter what.

Finally, his parents had no choice but to let her be, but the marriage contract was put away by them and never mentioned again, as if it didn't exist.

As time passed, this matter gradually faded away and seemed to have been forgotten.

Because one of Emily's suitors was so crazy that finally she directly announced that she had an engagement with Albert Martin.

At that time, it caused a sensation throughout Navia City. At that time, Albert Martin hadn't entered the Navia Academy yet. Otherwise, he would have been beaten badly. Now that he was in the Navia Academy, Albert Martin could truly feel Emily's charm.

After thinking for a moment, Albert Martin turned around and walked out of the academy.

Just as he walked out of the academy gate, Albert Martin looked up and saw a carriage parked in front of the steps. The carriage was antique in style, and four dark red and sturdy flying horses were pulling it. It was the carriage of the Martin family.

A girl stepped down from the carriage. She had a simple ponytail, an extremely delicate face, and an alluring luster under the sunlight. The most attractive thing was her pair of golden pupils, which were as bright and pure as the sun.

A shout came from the crowd, "Is that... Emily?!" Immediately, the area outside the academy was in an uproar. At this moment, both male and female eyes showed excited expressions. They didn't expect to be able to see the legend graduated from the Navia Academy today.

Albert Martin walked up to Emily and said in surprise, "Sister Emily, when did you return to Navia City?"

The Martin family started from Navia City. When Albert Martin's parents reached the god level, they shifted their focus to the Newhurst State. After Emily entered the Newhurst Advanced Academy, the most prestigious in the Newhurst State, she also went to the headquarters of the Martin family in the Newhurst State. In the past two years, she had to manage the Martin family, so it was difficult for her to return to Navia City. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.

    Emily looked at Albert Martin and said, "I just arrived in Navia City today. I'm here to pick you up on the way. Tomorrow is your seventeenth birthday." Albert Martin quickly said, "Then let's go quickly. You're so popular in Navia Academy. Standing here makes me feel so much pressure." Emily then nodded with a smile. She entered the carriage together with Albert Martin. Then, with the flying horses neighing, the carriage moved smoothly away, leaving a trail of smoke.The carriage was speeding along. After a long while, Albert Martin asked in confusion, "This isn't the way home, is it?" Emily said softly, "We're going to the Clark Merchant Guild to pick up something." She looked at Albert Martin with her golden eyes. "Your father and mother left something for you. They asked you to open it when you turn seventeen." Albert Martin was immediately shocked. "My father and mother left something for me?" In the Newhurst Empire, there were many forces. Among them, two forces remained ab

    Emily looked at Kelly for a while and then said, "You're both studying in Navia Academy. You should know each other, right?" Kelly said softly, "Yes. Albert Martin once gave me some advice on cultivation techniques and insights. I'm very grateful to him." "I don't deserve that, Kelly. It was just an exchange of ideas." Albert Martin thought to himself, "You're the top student in Navia Academy, while I haven't even awakened my soul yet." After chatting for a while, they saw the two of them off at the entrance of the Clark Merchant Guild. The two got into the carriage and left quickly. In the carriage, Albert Martin was holding the box tightly, lost in thought. The two of them remained silent. The carriage arrived outside a manor. The manor was extremely large and magnificent. It was the old residence of the Martin family. The two got out of the carriage. The entrance was a bit deserted. When Albert Martin's parents were here, there were always a lot of visitors, which was in sharp

    When his father said this, Albert Martin's heart was pounding violently. From now on, he would no longer be a useless person. Although Albert Martin seemed fine on the surface all these years, he had been feeling inferior in his heart all the time.We searched in many places and leafed through a lot of ancient books. Finally, we found a secret manual named "Soul Fusion"When a person is born, a soul power seed will appear in their body. Around the age of 14, the original soul power in the body can gradually hatch and awaken. What makes you different from others is that three soul power seeds were born in your body. These three seeds repel each other and won't give in to one another. To hatch and awaken all three soul seeds simultaneously, one needs a hundred times or even more of the original soul power. The original soul power in your body is not enough to hatch the three seeds at the same time, so the souls in your body have been unable to awaken for a long time.Originally, our idea

    Andrew Martin and Charlotte Allen stopped talking and just stared at Albert Martin quietly. In the room, it was completely silent. This kind of multiple-choice question really put Albert Martin in a dilemma. Was he going to continue to endure everyone's ridicule? He was definitely not willing to do that. It takes five years to reach the God level. He is seventeen years old now, and will be twenty-three years old five years later. In his understanding, there has never been such a young God-level powerhouse in the history of the Newhurst Empire. Albert Martin closed his eyes. How should he make a choice? At this moment, he thought of those strange looks in the academy, those gossips, and also thought of Emily. Deep in his heart, he liked Emily. Her beauty and excellence were really attractive. Albert Martin opened his eyes, with an unprecedented firmness in his gaze. "Father, Mother, actually I've always had an ambition. Others would laugh at me for being overconfident if I told the

    When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. Albert Martin slowly crawled to the bedside and passed out again after lying on the bed. When he woke up again, it was already evening. At this moment, Emily was sitting by the bedside, staring at Albert Martin. "What's the matter with you? Why has your hair turned white after just a nap, and you're so weak?"Albert Martin said, "Emily, give me your hand." Emily stretched out her small hand, and immediately Albert Martin grasped it. Then a faint soul power emerged on his palm. Emily's eyes widened in shock as she said, "Albert Martin, has your Soul Seed awakened?"She clasped his hand with her slender fingers and sent a trace of soul power into Albert Martin's body. She found that the Soul Seed had indeed awakened and the soul was full of vitality. "Is this a Wood-element Soul?""Was it something left by your father and mother that solved it?"Albert Martin nodded.Emily said happily, "This is the best news in recent years."Albert Ma

    However, usually, the more advanced the Soul Refining Technique is, the harsher its cultivation conditions will be. Among them, many advanced Soul Refining Techniques have specific requirements for the cultivator's Soul Level.Time passed quietly, and the scrolls on the table were quickly flipped through by Albert Martin. Eventually, he carefully selected three Soul Refining Techniques from among the numerous ones.Soul Inhaling and Exhaling, Lower Grade of the Spiritual Level. Heavenly Soul Meditation, Middle Grade of the Spiritual Level. Myriad Spirits Transformation, Upper Grade of the Spiritual Level.Although these three Soul Refining Techniques are not particularly outstanding, they are not common either. Most importantly, they meet the requirements of Albert Martin's Soul Attributes and Four-Star Soul.He will look for more advanced Soul Refining Techniques after upgrading his Soul Star Level in the future.After thinking for a moment, Albert Martin finally chose the Myriad Sp

    Albert Martin was sitting quietly on the cultivation platform, reflecting on his cultivation process. He knew very well that cultivation couldn't be done blindly and recklessly; instead, one needed to accurately grasp the rhythm and limits. Once the limit of the load was reached, one must stop cultivating and wait for the body to recover. Only in this way could one go further on the path of cultivation in the future.He recalled the Soul Refining Technique he had used. Although it wasn't the lowest level, it was by no means top-notch either. This made him realize even more deeply that it was crucial to upgrade the level of the Soul Refining Technique. Only with a higher-level Soul Refining Technique could the burden on the meridians be reduced and the cultivation efficiency be improved.At this moment, Albert Martin knew clearly that he couldn't be impatient for quick results and must wait patiently for his body to recover."My soul has reached the third stage of the Common Realm."

    Thinking of this, Albert Martin was completely stunned. This was simply a bottomless pit. The Martin family founded by his father and mother probably couldn't afford to support a spendthrift like him.It seemed that his father and mother had foreseen this; otherwise, the Martin family would really be bankrupted by him.Upgrading from Five-Star to Six-Star was still bearable. Don't think about the later upgrades for now. Just focus on the current task first.Albert Martin then began to concentrate on his cultivation. During the day, he practiced the Myriad Spirits Transformation to temper his soul power, and at night, he absorbed the Soul Liquid to increase the star level until the Soul Liquid was used up.In the accounting room, Cherry was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress. The dress was as smooth as silk, tightly wrapping around her curvaceous body.

This is the most intense confrontation among the various academies in the Eastern Domain Divine State and can be regarded as the biggest event among the academies.""Generally speaking, the Holy Grail War is held once every four years. Calculating the time, it seems that a new session will be held at the end of this year.""Can the final winner of the Holy Grail War obtain the so-called 'Dragon Bone Holy Grail'? Which academy won the Holy Grail in the last Holy Grail War?" Albert asked again."The academy that won the Dragon Bone Holy Grail in the last session was the 'Holy Ming King Academy' of the Shenyang Dynasty. This academy is extremely powerful and often dominates among many academies in the Eastern Domain Divine State. In the history of confrontations between Newhurst Senior Academy and it, Newhurst Senior Academy usually loses more and wins less," Emily thought for a moment and said."The Shenyang Dy

    Upon hearing this, Lane looked at Albert suspiciously and hesitated, saying, "When I previously examined your body, I did feel that you, little guy, were a bit weak.""I originally thought you were relying on your good looks and were young and didn't know how to exercise self-restraint."Albert couldn't help twitching his face. That was too much. In these years, the number of girls I've held hands with can be counted on one hand. How could it be possible that I'm not self-restrained?However, for the sake of one hundred thousand points, I'll endure it for now."Dean."Seeing that Albert was about to pester him again, Lane also felt a bit of a headache and could only helplessly say, "I'll talk to Elsie about this matter. That's it. Goodbye."Then, before Albert could say anything more, his figure disappeared like a wisp of smoke.Seeing this, Albert could only mutter, "He really ran away quickly."But he had already pleaded his case, so now it was up to the dean to see if he would show

    Albert believed that it wasn't just the Newhurst Senior Academy that had such a headache. Those other academies in the Eastern Domain Divine State should also be extremely troubled by the Dark Cavern.And the so-called "Dragon Bone Holy Grail" actually had the ability to suppress the Dark Cavern. If one could obtain it, one could imagine how many losses the academy that got it would avoid in the next few years.That kind of loss wasn't just about cultivation resources. It also included the significant and unignorable casualties within the academy.This had a fatal attraction for all the academies in the Eastern Domain Divine State."Dean..."Albert smiled bitterly and said, "You're not planning to ask me to compete for that 'Dragon Bone Holy Grail', are you? In a competition of that level, as a freshman, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything about it."Lane smiled and said, "Of course not. The competition for the 'Holy Grail War' depends on the most outstanding students of the ent

    An inexplicable heat welled up from within his heart. Albert now desperately needed powerful strength because his time was extremely pressing. In half a year, the Martin family would face a great upheaval. However, for that level of struggle, even if he was given another half a year, he felt that it would be very difficult for him to have much participation.The Martin family's defensive battle half a year later would likely involve countless forces and powerful individuals. According to Albert's estimation, those below the Heavenly Spirit Realm might not even have the qualification to participate.So at that time, he would mostly just have to watch Emily go into battle. No matter what 变故 occurred, he would be powerless to do anything.And this was something he couldn't bear to accept.He wanted to fight side by side with Emily and protect the Martin family.But his strength was still a bit lacking after all. After all, half a year was too short a time. And the secret technique that L

    When they were resting earlier, Albert took the initiative to tell Emily about the dark red bracelet. After all, the relationship between the two of them was extremely close, and he didn't keep many secrets from her.Albert looked at Emily's delicate and extremely beautiful face in front of him. Her skin was as white as snow and so delicate that it made people feel an urge to caress it. Their hands were clasped tightly together, and it was as if he was holding a piece of warm, cool, and smooth jade in his hand. This made Albert couldn't help but tickle the palm of her hand with his finger."Stop being naughty."Emily glanced at him, and the charm in that glance almost made Albert lose his mind.Emily let go of his hand and pondered, "There is a force in this dark red bracelet that even my soul power can't penetrate. That force is too vast, and I can't reach it at all. It shouldn't come from the three-tailed giant beast."She thought for a while, her golden eyes fixed on Albert, and sh

    "Didn't it say that this place was attacked by a great - level evil creature? How has it turned out to be a powerful spirit beast instead?""This seal is quite complicated. Was it done by the Grand Princess?""So impressive.""It seems that we've made this trip in vain. The Grand Princess has already resolved the crisis here all by herself."The senior students of the Fourth Star Academy praised one after another. Although they couldn't figure out the mystery of this sealing formation, it didn't stop them from feeling its profoundness.Walter was also a bit distracted. Then he shook his head and said, "This shouldn't have been done by Lucia. The remaining power on it isn't hers."But he had even more doubts in his heart. Besides the Grand Princess, who else in this stronghold could have resolved this crisis?And who created this seal?Amidst the many cheers, the rescue team poured into the stronghold.Inside the stronghold, many students lined the road to welcome them.

    The emotions in the Princess Royal's heart were churning like a stormy sea, but her profound inner composure ultimately allowed her to quickly adjust her mindset. First, she quietly withdrew her hand without showing any emotion, and then she asked in a calm voice, "What was that just now?""The seal left behind by the Academy Head," Albert smiled and didn't hide it. He said, "The seal has a spirit of its own. So after learning about my plan, it actively transferred into my hand. However, the seal had consumed too much power, and it could only take effect after this three-tailed beast was injured.""The seal of the Academy Head..." The Princess Royal suddenly understood. She did know that there was a seal left by the Academy Head outside the Forbidden Zone Mountains, but she had never expected that the seal could be used in such a way.However, immediately after, she thought of something, and her face turned a bit unpleasant. "Doesn't that mean it didn't really matter whether I came or

    The Princess Royal didn't dwell on this topic any longer. Instead, her phoenix-like eyes turned towards the three-tailed beast in front of her, and her pretty face became much more solemn. "Didn't you say that a great calamity-level evil creature appeared here? How did it turn into a spirit beast at the peak of the Celestial General Rank?"She was somewhat surprised and puzzled because the spirit beast in front of her looked vaguely familiar."That great calamity-level evil creature has already been dealt with," Albert said.The Princess Royal was shocked again. A great calamity-level evil creature had been dealt with? Was there someone in this stronghold who could achieve such a feat? Was it Emily? That didn't seem very likely either.Although the Nine-Star Light Soul was indeed powerful, it wasn't that monstrous.After all, Emily was still only at the Soul Master level.Her thoughts flickering, the Princess Royal then said thoughtfully, "Was it the spirit beast that dealt with it?"

    Albert was taken aback. This reaction wasn't right. Was it really that simple and straightforward? Didn't they even try to persuade him as a formality? For a moment, even the prepared speech in his mind couldn't be used, which made Albert feel a bit uncomfortable."Go on." Emily urged.Some people around couldn't stand it and spoke up for Albert, "Sister Jiang, how can you let Albert face that three-tailed beast alone?"Albert looked at Emily and found that the latter was looking at him with a faint smile on her cheeks. Immediately, he murmured in his heart. Could it be that Emily had guessed that he had a way to restrain the three-tailed beast?Was she that perceptive?Sigh, he had wanted to pretend to be heroic and get some comfort or benefits. After all, such opportunities were rare.It could only be said that Emily was too smart to be easily deceived.While Albert was feeling melancholy, Emily stretched out her hands and held one of Albert's palms.
