Although he had some expectations about the result of his combat value, it would definitely exceed that of a one-star fighter.

But he never expected that it would surpass by so much!

"Ding! After system detection, the host has opened the tri-element cultivation mode, the body functions have reached the extreme of body refining period, and has the conditions to open higher level tasks!"

"Task One: Normal Mode, the host needs to break through to a one-star fighter within six months, Reward: Fire element curse mark fragment."

"Task Two: Adventure Mode, the host needs to break through to a one-star fighter within ninety days, Reward: One piece of Fire element curse mark fragment and one piece of Wind element curse mark fragment."

"Task Three: Hell Mode, the host needs to break through to a one-star fighter within thirty days, Reward: One piece of Fire, Wind, and Ice element curse mark fragments each and a second-grade martial skill!"

"Task Four: God Mode, the host needs to break through to a one-star fighter within seventy-two hours, Reward: Two pieces of any element curse mark fragment and one super martial arts gift package!"

With the issuance of the tasks, especially the task in God Mode, it directly attracted Kieran's attention.

As for the so-called elemental curse mark fragments, he didn't pay much attention to them.

These are pieces of elemental curse marks.

To break through to a one-star fighter, one needs to condense an elemental curse mark, and he has a devouring talent. As long as he devours enough mark fragments, he can condense the elemental mark.

What really attracted Kieran was that super martial arts gift package!

After all, this is a task in God Mode, no matter what, the content of the package should be quite incredible!

But attaining the status of a one-star fighter within three days seems a bit too absurd!

Just when Kieran was indecisive, the system reminder rang again.

[Host, please make a decision immediately, or the system will retract this task!]

Hearing this, Kieran felt an urge to curse.

However, seeing the countdown on the system panel, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and roar in his mind: "God-level mode! I choose the God-level mode!"

[Ding! The God-level mode task has been locked in. Please note, host, the remaining time!]

As the system's voice ceased, Kieran's consciousness returned to the real world once again.

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling around for?"

The woman who had been there before glared fiercely at Kieran.

After all, this is the Ashcroft family. She has been with Damien for such a long time but has never been here once!

Now that such a great opportunity is in front of her, and yet it was disrupted by a poor, stunned youth, how could she possibly treat Kieran well?

"I'm here!"

Answering, Kieran quickly followed the two.

Before long, they arrived at an abandoned reservoir, with wastelands all around.

"Damien, where is your villa?"

The woman looked around. In front of them stood a dilapidated cabin, which should be the living place of the guard who used to supervise the reservoir. As for the villa, there was not a trace of it.

Suddenly, Damien turned around, seizing the woman by her neck.

"Villa? This huge reservoir will serve as a better tomb for you than any villa!"

The color drained from the woman's face. She attempted to speak, but her voice was muffled by the grip on her neck.

Damien had no tenderness towards her, and with a crack, he twisted and broke her neck, then tossed her aside casually.

Her body landed with a thud into the reservoir.

Kieran watched as Damien murdered the woman and disposed of her body without any expression.

He had consented to the woman's presence precisely for this outcome.

The woman had a connection to Damien. If she hadn't shown up, it wouldn't take long for the Ashcroft family to trace her to Kieran.

With the woman dead and once he kills Damien, it would take the Ashcroft family some time to trace anything to him.

And right now, time is what he lacks the most.

At this moment, Damien turned to Kieran.

"You didn't run?"

He had assumed that Kieran would flee after witnessing his murder, but Kieran was still standing there, unmoved.

"Of course, you must be scared stiff."

He moved closer to Kieran.

"Now, it's your turn!"

With that, he sent a punch hurdling towards Kieran, his fist glowing a fiery red.

A one-star fire element fighter.

Kieran stared at the incoming fist, neither dodging nor avoiding. In the moment it reached him, he threw out a punch of his own in return.

Boom!

A thunderous sound echoed around.

Damien, who had been gloating moments ago, suddenly screamed. His body was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud.

"You... You've broken through to become a Fighter?"

His face went pale as he looked at Kieran with terror.

After breaking through to become a one-star Fighter, his combat power had reached 320, yet he was still seriously injured by Kieran's single punch.

This meant that at least Kieran had been a Fighter for some time.

Thinking about it, a look of disbelief spread on his face.

Kieran closed the gap between them in a few strides, an open palm lashing out toward Damien's forehead, "Die!"

Feeling the impending arrival of death, Damien's complexion changed dramatically, "No, I'm a member of the Ashcroft family. You can't kill me. Otherwise, the Ashcroft family won't spare you, they won't spare your family!"

Bang!

Kieran's palm landed squarely on his forehead, with no hesitation.

Damien's eyes widened, filled with terror. His body went slack and collapsed onto the ground.

Kieran hoisted the limp body with one hand and then hurled it forcefully into the reservoir.

As he watched the two bodies sink slowly into the depths, he finally turned to leave.

Moments later, he drove over Damien's car and sunk that into the reservoir too. After cleaning up the scene a bit, he turned and left.

Everything was swift and clean.

Upon returning home, the sky had already darkened. Kieran went directly to his own room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began his cultivation practice.

"First, condense the Fire Element Seal!"

Buzz!

A flame appeared in his palm and started to pulsate constantly.

    Upon reaching the shop, they found its doors tightly shut with no signboard in sight.Dean Hartwell pushed open the door and led Kieran inside.Upon entering, Kieran saw a large courtyard with a furnace and all sorts of weapons and equipment."A blacksmith's shop?" Kieran asked in surprise.However, this blacksmith's shop was not in the traditional sense. All the forged equipment seemed very advanced.At that moment, an elder, who appeared to be around the same age as Dean Hartwell, was busily working. Hearing the movement, he looked up, "Old Hartwell, why are you here at my shop? Are you here to order equipment for the academy? Isn't it a bit early this year?"Every school would order some equipment for regular student use before the start of a new term.However, orders were typically placed only after the academy had confirmed its student enrollment."This man is Silas, he used to be a grandmaster level fighter. But after a mishap, he started learning to forge," Dean Hartwell quietl

    At this moment, more and more people were squeezing towards the front of the corridor, and some were almost against the door. "Yes, yes, make way...uh..." A person was speaking, but his words suddenly choked off as if he had swallowed something foul.The nineteenth lamp had lit up.The scene instantly quieted down. The crowd that had just prepared to make way stood frozen in their tracks.Everyone stared blankly at the nineteenth lamp glowing brightly; for a moment, no one spoke."Oh my God!"Suddenly, a girl screamed. People reacted only to see that all twenty lamps had lit up!Soon after, when the twenty-first lamp lit up, everyone became numb.Preston was standing at the back of the crowd, with a phone call in progress, and he could barely hold his phone steady."Dean."Preston's voice was trembling, "Get to the Martial Saint's Corridor quickly, something huge has happened.""What's happened?" The voice of Dean Hartwell came from the other end of the phone."The results are out. De

    With a thud, his body smashed against the ground; Blake struggled to raise his head, "Damn it, the corridor was fine!"His voice was filled with pain, not only physical but also mental, because Kieran was really that strong."Quick, take him to the medical room!" Preston waved his hand. Those students who previously provided the student cards quickly came forward to lift Blake.This score was borrowed from them, Blake was supposed to return double, so there shouldn't be any issue.Click!At this moment, the door of the corridor where Garrett was at, opened and a youth walked out from inside.As he emerged, he walked toward the crowd. Noticing the shocked expressions on their faces, he smiled, "What's with you guys? It's just one more lamp than last time, no need to be this astonished, right?"His voice was calm. The last time he ventured into the martial saint's corridor, he had already lit fifteen lamps. And it wasn't too long ago, so sixteen this time was within his expectations."G

    This was the Hall of Martial Saints, also known as the Treasure of the Dragon Kingdom. Anyone who entered and defeated a phantom would acquire cultivation experience.Hum!After the phantom had completely dissipated, another one appeared. After Kieran defeated it, he acquired the cultivation experience of the middle body-refining stage.Then came the later body-refining stage and the peak stage. When the fifth phantom appeared, its cultivation level had reached the threshold of the Fighters.Boom!Kieran killed it with hardly any effort, and again cultivation experience was transmitted into him."These phantoms must have been materialized by spiritual power, incorporating various cultivation experiences. It's said that Magnus Chen would visit various martial academies from time to time. Perhaps he came to replenish his spiritual power."Thinking of this, he could imagine just how powerful Magnus's spiritual power was."However, the experiences I've acquired so far are of little use to

    Kieran was speechless hearing the arguments from both sides. When he said 'inferior', he was referring to the poor quality of recruits of the academy, to an extent that even surprised him. And it had nothing to do with Garrett. What on earth was their comprehension level?Preston, seeing that the situation was going south, was about to pull Kieran away.Suddenly, Kieran began to speak, "Director Preston, am I allowed to enter the Martial Saint corridor?"He was eager to try his hand on one of the four national treasures of Dragon Kingdom. "You want to enter the Martial Saint Corridor?" Preston was stunned.Kieran nodded in affirmation.The four prized treasures, each of them presents an opportunity for any entrant to grasp a chance of destiny. If there was an opportunity to enter first, he definitely wanted to try."If our junior apprentice brother wants to enter the Martial Saint Corridor, no problem, we'll pool points for you." Blake, the thin-faced man, promptly spoke as soon as he
