They started saying different things, but Wilson ignored them.Finally, he closed his furnace, his weapon complete."I'm done, Instructor," he called.The instructor's eyes lit up. He had secretly been worried about Wilson, especially since he had taken quite a lot of time. Even those who were less talented had already completed theirs.He took the weapon from Wilson and carefully appraised it. A wild smile slowly spread across his face.So this was why he had taken so much time."A mid-Mortal-grade weapon. I'm impressed." He nodded proudly.Although he wasn't as shocked as he had been in Mattimeo and Zaki's cases.The same materials, in reality, could be used to craft a mid-Mortal-grade weapon by those who truly knew what they were doing.But for a high-grade or peak-grade weapon, you needed something more. Otherwise, you had to be a supreme blacksmithing genius.The instructor's mind was already made up. He had to write to the sect and inform them that they had not one, but two absu

"What are you saying? Stop that. I'm your teacher, and you are my student," she said, but her voice lacked its usual firmness."You owe me one unconditional request, Aurora. Can I use it now?" he asked."Oh, and what's your request?" she asked."Kiss me," he said boldly.She stared at him in shock.Mattimeo held her gaze without backing down. For a moment, neither of them moved. Then, on impulse, she let the feelings she had been trying to suppress take over.She stepped forward and kissed him.The kiss was sudden and intense, her lips pressing firmly against his as though she had finally stopped fighting what she wanted. Mattimeo froze for a heartbeat, stunned by the force of it. He had been expecting her to refuse and negotiate, or perhaps give him a quick peck just to satisfy the request.Never in his wildest dreams had he expected her to kiss him like this.Her fingers slipped into his hair, gripping the back of his head as she pulled him closer. The warmth of her body, the softne

"What? Are you?" Zhou stared intently at Mattimeo."Stupid question."Mattimeo moved immediately. Zhou thrust out his left hand, releasing a surge of fire. The flame burned brightly in his palm before he shot it toward Mattimeo.Mattimeo smirked and simply stretched out his hand, breaking the flames apart.He appeared before Zhou in the next instant and kicked him hard in the head. The force sent Zhou crashing to the ground."Don't play with flames before me in your next life." He scoffed.The remaining three were trapped within Zaki's vines, their bodies tightly bound as they pleaded desperately for their lives.Mattimeo stepped toward Zhang.Zhang had witnessed everything that had happened, and terror immediately took hold of him. He struggled to move backward, forcibly rolling himself along the ground while clutching his bleeding chest."What? Are you scared?" Mattimeo asked with a mocking smirk."You were quite bold when you attacked me just now. Didn't you say you would kill me a

"Zhang, I heard that Mattimeo has returned," a skinny guy in a green robe said as their group walked through the forest."So I heard. I have some people watching him. The next time he's going on a mission, it's going to be his last." He chuckled evilly."But... That girl is not the only girl in the sect. Why are you so hell-bent on getting her?" The skinny guy couldn't help but ask."Because I love her! Do you understand what love is!?""You love someone you haven't even been with before? How's that even possible?""Enough."A tall, masculine youth said, cutting the two off."If he loves her, then he must get her. There's no way someone from our family could lose to a nobody. If he's from a noble family, maybe we should be worried, but in this case, he's not. Just a nameless nobody."Zhang smiled with glee."You see? My brother is the best."The other three didn't say anything. Even though they felt that it didn't make sense to go to all these lengths for a woman who didn't love him,

Mattimeo and Zaki looked at Ezekiel, anger burning in their hearts."The sect didn't do anything?""They took points from them. But that's because the injury this time is too severe. This isn't the first time they have attacked me," Ezekiel explained."I see." Mattimeo said nothing more. He simply stood there, his gaze fixed somewhere in the distance as he silently considered what he had just heard.Finally, he stood up."We will take revenge for you," he said, his voice calm but firm."No. Don't. Zhang just broke through to the Energy Condensation Realm Plus, and he has a big brother who is in the second level of Energy Condensation," Ezekiel warned."Was his brother present when it happened?" Mattimeo asked.Ezekiel sighed. "Yes. Actually, I have been joining a team of seniors for missions. That way, Zhang hasn't been able to attack me for a while. But that day, he brought his brother and his friends, so they overwhelmed my group."Mattimeo remained silent, his expression tightening

The Count was a middle-aged man, very much older than the Viscount.Currently, Mattimeo and Zaki were seated at the table with him. A large meal was spread before them, and the servants moved diligently around the table, serving each dish as needed."Do you know, both of you are much more interesting than many master alchemists right now?" the Count said suddenly."We dare not compare ourselves with master alchemists," Mattimeo replied.The Count studied him for a moment, his gaze lingering on Mattimeo's face. Then he turned his attention to the fatty, who seemed far more interested in the food in front of him than in the Count. The feeling appeared almost mutual. The Count had spent some time investigating Zaki and had already discovered something important about him."I was thinking of introducing both of you to the Second Prince. Right now, your fame is limited to the small regions known to Tigerfang, but I can actually help both of you become extremely popular."Mattimeo's movemen
