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.

    Seeing that everyone was interested, Zachary smiled, "For the first place, naturally, it's the Ninth Academy!"He didn't keep them in suspense, looking towards the people from the Ninth Academy. "Do you see that white-robed youth walking next to Malcolm?"Everyone nodded."He's Simon, ranked fifth in the Ninth Academy!""That's Simon?" Someone looked at the youth with curiosity."Some of you might wonder, why, on the basis of a single Simon, should the Ninth Academy definitely be number one? But if you look closely, isn't the Ninth Academy's team today different from the people who came yesterday?" Zachary reminded.When they took a closer look, indeed, today's members from the Ninth Academy were drastically different from yesterday's."The Ninth Academy has quietly switched out its members. They only left two new students, the others are all old students who are not bad. I won't go into the specifics on who they are.""And their motive for doing this is most likely because of the emb

    Everyone nodded in agreement. Humanity not only needed great people but couldn't do without the ordinary ones.General Montgomery pondered for a moment and said, "Beast Cores are quite versatile, and they are also very useful for the military. This task assignment gives your students a chance to gain practical experience. All the materials from the monster beast fall into the military's possession.""With this, if you decide to join my Southern War Zone after graduation, I promise to give you half of the Beast Cores from this monster creature. How about it?"Kieran was taken aback and bitterly laughed. "General Montgomery, aren't you making it hard for me?"If he were to join the Southern War Zone, what would happen when Commander Brennan found out? He would skin him alive. The Dragon Blood wasn't absorbed for nothing. He didn't have any to give back when demanded.Montgomery also understood the relationship between Kieran and the Western War Zone and said regretfully, "The Western Wa

    At that moment, the length of the rift had already exceeded hundreds of meters, a definite indication that it was fully opened.General Montgomery nodded, "Almost, once the rift fully opens, it would be just like the first uprising. After that, there would be sporadic uprisings."He pointed at the opening of the rift, "Look closely, do you notice the tremors of the rift?"Kieran nodded, the tremors of the rift were quite subtle, but noticeable upon close observation."Based on the degree and frequency of the rift's tremors, combined with our years of experience, we can gauge the timing and scale of the Beast Mutations. It's usually quite accurate."General Montgomery added jokingly, "It's strange when you think about it, like a lifeline granted to humanity by the heavens, allowing us to make these observations before each Beast Mutation occurs."It was indeed a fortunate coincidence. Without these rift tremors, the timing and scale of each Beast Mutation would be difficult to predict.

    The Ninth Academy had not attached much importance to this mission, hence, most of the participants were freshmen. There were two sophomores, but in his opinion, none of them were a match for Kieran.If they didn't replace him with someone stronger, Kieran would undoubtedly steal the entire limelight, something the Ninth Academy could not tolerate, because Kieran was the person they had once rejected."For our own good?" Lucas and Eric both had unhappy expressions.However, they didn't speak, though internally, they remained unconvinced. They were also Generals, and believed they were not inferior to anyone of the same age."Director Malcolm, do you know the other party?" A sophomore asked from the midst of the Ninth Academy members.Malcolm looked at the person across him. This man was supposed to be the strongest among the batch who came this time.He nodded, "Yes, we've met before.""That's interesting. Judging from Director Malcolm's expression, this man seems to be quite powerful

    At this moment, Kieran moved into the crowd, then began to walk through the crowd toward the people of the First Academy."Commander!"Suddenly, a voice resounded from the military department side.Everyone was stunned, looking around, but they didn't see any big shots from the military department, showing perplexity immediately.Following that, they saw the person in charge of the military department, ignoring Malcolm altogether and ran to Kieran, saluting him in military style."Holy moly, what's happening?" Everyone was momentarily stupefied.Even the people from the various Saint Academies couldn't help turning their heads to look, then revealed their shocked expressions.Malcolm's pupils contracted. "It's him!"His impression of Kieran was profound. After all, Kieran was the first one who outright declined the Ninth Academy due to its failure to agree on resources. A subsequent star also rejected the Ninth Academy because of him. Even the gifted individuals from Blackwood Provinc

    The current First Academy makes all newcomers and old students from other academies feel suffocated.Before, when students from the Saint Academies of Imperial City gathered together, they would always mock the students of the First Academy. Now, however, he glanced forward, and the other academies did not dare make a peep.And all of this is because of one person, Kieran Vale.He had followed the First Academy to watch Kieran in action; the fright that Kieran gave off, he still couldn't forget to this day.He tried to look around, but he could not see Kieran."Even if he's not here, the other four Saint Academies in Imperial City are all quiet!" He sighed internally, this was simply an impossibility in previous years."I've heard about the strongest newcomer in the First Academy too, but it's hard for me to believe!" Someone shook his head and said."Indeed, a newcomer can be that strong, that's just outrageous!" Someone else shook his head in agreement.One person from the Imperial
