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.

    Nathan forced a bitter smile. Of course, he had tried to dodge — he just wasn't successful and was now in so much pain that he could barely move.It wasn't just their Number Seven room. People were continuously being kicked out from the other rooms as well, and the scene was filled with screams and groans.At that moment, Oliver noticed that Kieran was about to enter the room and immediately yelled, "Brother Kieran, don't go in there yet — it's a trap!"However, at this time, Kieran had already stepped into the room.As soon as he entered, he saw six soldiers right in front of him. The six men, upon seeing Kieran, were also taken aback."A single man dares to come in?" one of them asked in surprise."What's going on?" Kieran was also puzzled. Weren't they supposed to rest? Yet there were still six men in the room.One of them, seeing Kieran's confusion, laughed. "Did you really think this was a place for you enlisted rookies to rest?""This place is our regular resting point. Of cours

    Each military department had its own tasks, and there were more than one command centers, each located in different places. However, the selection of personnel back then was from the entire Western War Zone, so news had reached them.But they had stopped paying attention afterwards. Commander Brennan waved his hand, feeling there was no need to investigate further.When Kieran had previously called about his parents coming over, he'd mentioned that two masters had been killed. So, Commander Brennan had a general idea of the situation. He just found himself curious, but not to the point where he needed to know all the details."Commander, should we send someone to pick him up?" a soldier asked.Having been with Commander Brennan for a long time, he understood how much his commander valued Kieran, hence the question."If he wants to keep a low profile and be with the other new recruits, then let's respect his wishes," Commander Brennan responded cheerfully.Then he pondered for a moment

    After this, Kieran didn't say anything more. At this moment, whether it was the people on the stage or the spectators, nobody made a sound.Some showed determination in their eyes. Some looked at Kieran with admiration. And some showed reluctance to part.Many people here hadn't even had a conversation with Kieran, and Kieran didn't know who they were. However, what Kieran had done in the past few months was something they would remember for a lifetime.They felt lucky to have attended the same school, even the same generation, as Kieran.Next, the academy specially invited students who were skilled at performing arts to put on a song and dance routine.At the start of school, Kieran had presented everyone with an unprecedented talent show. At graduation, the students performed their individual talents for Kieran.Following this, Dean Hartwell shared a few words before presenting Kieran with his graduation certificate.In turn, Kieran shook hands with the leaders and teachers on stage

    Cameron nodded. "Since you have decided to join the military so soon, you should first negotiate with your academy. Someone will call to inform you of the specific time when you should report to the new recruit camp."Kieran also nodded. He didn't linger around for long, exchanged a few words, and then promptly left the office."So he's the General Star. No wonder Master Roland treats him so courteously. I heard each war zone only selects one General Star. Among the new generation, he is one of the four with the strongest talent nationwide — a true super genius!"Watching Kieran leaving the office, Oliver couldn't help but comment. The fact that Roland treated him courteously and Cameron came forward personally underscored Kieran's talent."Genius?" Nathan laughed bitterly. "He's no genius.""Hmm?" Oliver was puzzled."If you are assigned to the same new recruit camp as him this time, you will understand," Nathan said slowly.A genius? No genius could encapsulate Kieran. But Nathan di

    "Have the beast cores been exchanged?"After a long while, Roland calmed his excitement and looked towards Oliver."They've been exchanged — twelve level-five ice-element beast cores!" Oliver held out the exchanged beast cores.Roland had made a phone call to Cameron, who had started preparing immediately. So by the time he returned, everything was ready. It had only taken the time of a round trip."You guys got a good deal!" Roland took the beast cores.Even though the usual price would have been twice that for level-six cores, the higher-level cores were indeed more valuable. Exchanging thirteen, or even fourteen, wouldn't have been excessive.However, since they were asking for someone else's help, they had to accept some loss."That's it, take your equipment away!" Roland waved his hand.The two men hurriedly moved the equipment away. At this time, Roland gave the beast cores to Kieran. "I can't help you much. The road lies ahead of you. I hope that I can live long enough to see y

    Although he is now a man in his thirties, he was once a student in the Martial Academy.He knows how difficult it is to earn all the credits in that academy, especially the ones from classroom instruction."By the way, it's been a few months since we last met. I'm not quite clear on how much you've improved. Would you mind showing me?" Roland suddenly said with a smile.He was curious about how much progress Kieran had made. After all, this was the young person he most valued in recent years.Dean Hartwell had told him in the past that Kieran represented humanity's hope.He wanted to see what Dean Hartwell's judgment was like.Kieran nodded, "Of course, but..." He glanced at the corner of the courtyard.Roland instantly understood his meaning and gave a charming smile, "After last time, I replaced the tester. After all, there are frequent visits from the military department, so I got the highest grade one."As he said this, he pointed in another direction, where there stood a brand-ne
