Chapter 88: Lucian Wexford
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
Chapter 87: The First Round of Exams Ends
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
Chapter 86: Both Breakthroughs
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'
Chapter 85: Ambush
While everyone racked their brains trying to crack the seal, Tobias Quill sat cross-legged atop a sacrificial altar, using blood as a catalyst, chanting incantations as dark clouds pressed down from above in a genuinely terrifying display. Streams of blood flowed freely, heavy clouds bearing down toward the earth as a vast ancient formation roared to life, raging in every direction, like some unparalleled ancient beast stirring awake. The entire Twin Peaks range shook violently. At that moment, the raw power radiating off Tobias had already climbed well past the Energy Refinement Realm. Shock rippled through everyone nearby. Disciples still in the middle of their own trials stared up at the sky in open horror. Lightning cracked and thunder rolled, crimson bolts weaving together beneath a sky gone pitch black, as though ancient war spirits were stirring back to life, their presence rolling outward like a vast, crashing ocean. THUD! In the distance, the ancient cave shelterin
Chapter 84: Fuming with Anger
The sheer volume of treasure felt almost dreamlike, as though they'd cracked open a vault containing everything imaginable, each piece carrying its own intricate purpose.Even the most unassuming earthenware pot turned out to be a genuine rarity. Plant a thousand-year-old medicinal herb inside it, and given time, it could slowly cultivate into a true king among spiritual herbs.Of all the forty or fifty treasures recovered, the Nine Divine Weapons stood clearly above the rest, comparable to true top-tier spirit artifacts. Each one carried genuine awareness, flowing with an almost dreamlike radiance.Without question, these nine weapons had been the hermit's own life-saving treasures. Every piece, the jade blade, the violet jade sword, the crimson jade spear, the obsidian jade halberd, the pale jade shield, carried real spiritual weight.Sizzle.Aiden picked up the three-inch violet jade sword and gave it a light flick. A thread of purple light shot outward, instantly cleaving a mound
Chapter 83: Hitting Someone in the Head
From what Magnus and Elena described, Aiden gathered the two of them genuinely belonged to Burning Lamp Academy, having enrolled a full year ahead of him. This trip into the Twin Peaks was their own academy assignment too.Everything had gone smoothly, right up until the heavyset hermit tricked them outright, stealing the spirit-beast meat they'd hunted and trapping them inside a formation.Thankfully, the formation carried no real lethal intent, holding them captive for roughly fifteen minutes. Once they'd broken free, they'd tracked the hermit's trail using a secret technique, leading them straight here.Along the way, Magnus had spotted Lucy fighting off several warriors and stepped in to help. That was how they'd learned about the hermit, and the two had been waiting for Aiden to emerge ever since.Aiden's mind raced through the details, and he laughed. "So that shameless hermit got you too. Perfect. This place looks like somewhere a real cultivator once died. We might actually wa
