Normally, Aiden would have ignored such a provocation, too bored to bother with it.

But then he saw Lucy step outside with red eyes, plainly having just cried. Irritation stirred in him, and a distant figure slowly overlapped with hers in his mind.

"Don't think I don't know. You've been secretly practicing that old breathing method. Back at school, I saw you doing it on the rooftop at dawn. On Celestara, that technique is considered worthless. It was discarded long ago."

    Aiden hesitated a moment, but he still wanted to know who was trying to frame him. He walked over and found her lying unclothed on the floor, and quickly took off his coat to cover her."Your methods are despicable, but don't worry, I won't... You're Selene?!"Hearing Aiden's words, Selene trembled with fury. She opened her lovely eyes, gritted her teeth, and said in a shaking voice, "You filthy scoundrel... trespassing in my home! I'll kill you..."She coughed up another mouthful of blood and passed out.Aiden was thoroughly bewildered. "This is clearly my lodging, and now they're twisting it around on me? That's too cruel. But she looks badly hurt..."It had to be said, Selene was genuinely stunning, especially her crystal-clear rosy lips, flawless, radiating endless allure, the kind of lips that made a man want to lean in.Aiden took a deep breath, pulled a healing pill from his storage ring, hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly slipped it between Selene's lips. He used his spi

  • Chapter 90: Misunderstanding

    Hearing Aiden dare to name his own terms, Selene's face darkened at once. This freshman had a nerve, bargaining with her like an equal. Clearly he wouldn't understand what "female demon" meant until she'd beaten him to his knees and made him beg.Yvette lowered her voice. "Sister Selene, this is the Battle Tower. We can't break the rules here. Why not hear his conditions first? If they're reasonable, what's the harm in agreeing?"Selene snorted coldly, her red lips parting slightly. "Name your conditions."Her voice was ethereal and lovely to listen to, though her tone was ice.Aiden didn't mind in the slightest. He smiled. "It's simple. When I run into danger, I'd like you two to help me and keep me safe."Yvette giggled. "That's a small matter. Don't worry, if anyone gives you trouble later, just say my name, Yvette.""So you both agree?" Aiden asked.Selene hesitated a moment, then nodded.Aiden finally let out a breath. He could tell Yvette meant no harm, but the aloof Selene, who

    Already, Aiden matching Lucian's projection within the same realm was a remarkable feat, one that would spark a genuine uproar if word ever got out.And if Aiden managed to cross a full realm gap and defeat Lucian outright, the sensation it caused would be unimaginable."The eighth punch, River Styx Dragon Transformation."Lucian's presence swelled stronger and stronger, surging spiritual energy rippling around his body.He looked like a man practicing boxing while standing atop a great river, the sound of rushing water audible in the air itself.ROAR!The great river transformed into a water dragon over thirty feet long, surging straight toward Aiden."Heavenly Heart Pierces the Plum Blossom!"Aiden thrust his sword toward the water dragon's brow. Instead of piercing through, though, the blade struck as though against an iron wall, a sharp metallic clang ringing out.BOOM!The Purple Cloud Sword was nearly wrenched from Aiden's grip by the sheer force of the impact. In that instant,

    Seeing that Aiden's expression hadn't shifted, Harold continued. "Martial arts dominate Celestara now, but cultivators can still make the rankings.""As long as you have the strength, you can reach the Profound List, or even the Earth List. Once you're on a list, you earn a certain standing and resources across Celestara."Aiden asked, "So those two women earlier have to be on the Profound List, right? They looked to be at the late Energy Refinement stage. By the way, what do you actually get for finishing first among the new students?""Forget first place. Even cracking the top ten earns a very generous reward."Harold paused, then continued. "Even tenth place gets a hundred merit points. Ninth gets two hundred, and so on, all the way up to fourth place, which earns seven hundred.""Third place gets a thousand merit points.""Second place gets two thousand.""First place gets three thousand."Aiden asked, "What can merit points actually be exchanged for?"Harold said, "Merit points a

    This was clearly no moment to dwell on the mystery, though. Aiden pressed his palm against Alaric's, his strength surging, forcing the man to slide backward. BANG! Alaric staggered back more than thirty feet, crashing into the trunk of a massive tree, coughing up another mouthful of blood. "Your strength even surpasses mine! You're dead today, guaranteed!" Alaric's face twisted into a savage snarl as he roared, "Blood Energy Condensed Beast!" Immediately, the blood inside Alaric's body seemed to ignite, a thick cloud of blood mist rising behind him. Within it, the massive shadow of a wolf took shape, nearly seven feet tall. This was the distinctive mark of the late-stage Profound realm: the Blood Energy Condensed Beast. For warriors in the Profound realm, every step upward brought a sharp increase in blood and energy, producing miraculous changes in varying degrees. Those at the Great Perfection stage could even transform that blood energy into pure spirit. Each stage rel

    Alaric took the sword energy across his palm, leaving a shallow cut behind.The blade-force had pierced the blue scales covering his hand, and the blood seeping out ran blue as well, carrying a lethal poison."Interesting. Your strength is nothing like the rumors suggest. Seems you've been hiding your real power. You actually broke through my Azure Demon Hand. How fascinating, hahaha."Alaric circulated his inner energy, wisps of power seeping from his pores, shifting into azure light that wrapped around his arms before flowing down into his palms.A moment later, the wound Aiden had carved into him closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.What astonishing self-healing.Keeping a close watch on Alaric, Aiden told Lucy, "I'll hold him off. You take out those seven warriors. If you have to, use the jade bracelet on your wrist.""Okay. Be careful." Lucy stepped forward, crossed the stream, and drove a single finger into the throat of an early-stage Profound-realm warrior.The warrior'
