After all that trouble, Clian realized he had actually been played. He didn't even have time to argue. The moment the realization hit him, Clian rushed into the cabin, intending to interrupt Hudson before he could finish whatever he was doing.But he was already too late.The bone-stripping and meridian reconstruction had been completed. Only the final step remained.Hudson no longer had any reason to hold back.He gave a cold snort, and the three powerful battle souls were summoned at once.Clian was the first to charge in, so he took the full force of the attack.He had never expected Hudson to have three Grandmaster-level battle souls at his disposal. Caught completely off guard, he was struck by all three and sent flying backward through the doorway."Grandmaster?""Oh, my God!"The moment the others sensed the terrifying aura released by the three battle souls, panic spread through the group. Even the wild dogs wandering around the mountain were frightened by the sudden disturban

The first time Dein underwent the bone-stripping and meridian reconstruction procedure, he endured it.But once it was over, he was so weak that he couldn't even move a finger. Hudson immediately placed him in a large iron tub that had been prepared beforehand, where he soaked in a mixture of medicinal herbs meant to help his body recover.Three days later, after confirming that Dein had mostly recovered, Hudson performed the second round of bone stripping and meridian reconstruction.This time, Viena was extremely curious. She kept pestering Hudson, begging him to let her watch.However, less than three minutes after entering the room, Viena covered her mouth and rushed outside to vomit. After that, she never dared to step inside and watch again.Later, whenever they learned that another round of the procedure was about to begin, everyone suddenly found an excuse to leave.Each round of bone stripping and meridian reconstruction took a greater toll on Dein's body. As the procedures c

The oval object was clearly an egg. The patterns covering its surface resembled those on the purple egg that had appeared before Binx was born, although there were noticeable differences between them.The advancement of modern technology had sparked a strong interest in the creatures that had once terrorized California. From a scientific perspective, the creatures from the other world could essentially be considered extraterrestrial life.Scientific research into them had never stopped.Some researchers even wondered whether the traditional martial arts path was simply too difficult. Perhaps studying these creatures could provide another solution. If their genes could be thoroughly analyzed, maybe scientists could use them to improve the genetic potential of martial artists and make the path to greater strength easier.After years of research, countless personnel, and enormous amounts of funding, they finally discovered the remains of a creature from the other world whose bones had no

In California, the return of creatures from another world was strictly forbidden. The disaster from years ago had already faded from the memories of the younger generation, but the older generation of martial artists still remembered it clearly.If the Martial God hadn't intervened back then, California would have long since been overrun by creatures from another world.Countless people had died at the hands of those beasts. Many of the victims had been family members, friends, or loved ones of the older generation of martial artists.That blood feud had never truly disappeared. The fact that people rarely spoke about it didn't mean they had forgotten.There was another problem.The appearance of a creature from another world after so many years would inevitably cause panic. People would immediately wonder whether the beasts had returned.No one would care that Binx was still young or that she posed no real threat. The moment people learned that she was a creature from another world,

“Master! With your martial foundation destroyed, can you really take a completely different path and start over?”Viena leaned closer, her eyes filled with doubt. If this was difficult for Dein to understand, then for her, it was even more unbelievable.Hudson rolled his eyes at her. “Aren’t I living proof?”Viena smiled faintly, then hesitated before speaking again. “Master, why don’t you cripple me too? Then I can take a different path and follow the same road you did.”“What?”Hudson was instantly speechless.His disciple's idea was so naive that he didn't even know how to respond.Taking an unconventional path was something one did only when there was no other choice. Why would anyone willingly cripple themselves just to walk that path?He stared at Viena in confusion. “Why would you even think that?”“Master, think about it,” Viena said earnestly. “Your strength has improved so quickly after taking that unconventional path. That proves the road you're on might actually be the tru

A person's spirit could often be seen in the way they carried themselves. The moment Hudson examined Dein, he understood just how deeply this ordeal had affected him.In the past, even when Dein simply sat in silence, he radiated an invisible presence that naturally commanded respect. Without saying a single word, he carried the confidence of someone who had stood at the peak for years. It was the kind of aura that instinctively made others lower their heads.But reality could be merciless. Very few people could endure devastating setbacks without eventually breaking.One crushing blow had shattered everything Dein had built. The commanding presence that once surrounded him had disappeared, replaced by the quiet resignation of a man who had already accepted the end of his journey.It wasn't just physical defeat. It was self-imposed exile, and was giving up on himself.That was something Hudson refused to accept. He knew exactly why Dein had changed so much.His martial foundation had
