Upon seeing this, Callum West said, "Later, all you need to do is stand in front of that machine. When you're ready, output your strongest attack!"

​Nodding slightly, Kieran walked towards a machine in the corner.

​During this process, Callum quickly took out his cell phone and dialled a number.

​Before long, a fat middle-aged man walked in, his face full of impatience, "Teacher West, have you lost your mind? It's just a student's combat value test.. Why call me here? To cheer him on?"

​Upon hearing this, Callum quickly explained, "Principal, this student is a bit different!"

​As his words fell, as if to substantiate Callum's claim, Kieran directly threw a punch.

​Boom!

​With that loud sound, even the principal could not help but turn to look in the direction of Kieran.

​One hundred and five!

​The principal's face suddenly changed dramatically!

​"Mr. West, where did this student pop up from? Is he from our school? Which class is he from? Why haven't I seen him before?"

​Staring at Kieran for a while, the Headmaster felt strange and then continuously asked Callum sitting beside.

​As the head of a school, he had seen all the most outstanding students in the graduating class, but Kieran, let alone having seen him, he hadn't even heard of this name.

​"Headmaster, Kieran is our own student, he is from class nine. He had been concealing his abilities until today!"

​Callum knew in his heart that since the Headmaster asked this, he would definitely cultivate Kieran vigorously, so he quickly told everything he knew.

​"Top stage?"

​Looking at Kieran, the Headmaster patted him on the shoulder with a gratified look, and said slowly: "If you succeed in reaching the threshold of a one-star fighter before the college entrance examination, you can choose any university you want!"

​After saying this, the Headmaster paused slightly, then asked softly: "You are a dual-element fighter, aren't you?"

​In the Headmaster's view, there were only two possible reasons why Kieran could achieve a combat value far exceeding the usual at such a young age.

​On the one hand, Kieran was a rare genius!

​On the other hand, it could be that Kieran was a dual-element fighter with one element reaching the top stage and the other at a mid-term level!

​In comparison, the Headmaster would rather believe that Kieran was a dual-element fighter!

​At this, Kieran neither denied nor admitted, just ambiguously said: "That should be the case!"

​In the ears of Callum and the others, this sentence was no different from an affirmative answer!

​"Kieran, as the headmaster, I suggest you prioritize enhancing your top stage element. As for the other element, consider it after your cultivation reaches a certain level!"

​"Of course, this is just my opinion; you're free to reject it."

​"Additionally, how would you like the school to prepare you for the upcoming entrance exams?"

​Given Kieran's current level, the usual training programs wouldn't suffice.

​"Principal, I'm curious if there are special rewards offered by the school for my performance. Say, something like gold coins?"

​Upon hearing this, Callum kept throwing signals at Kieran. Isn't it a waste to claim cultivation resources at this time instead of more valuable items like gold coins?

​Meanwhile, the principal laughed and slowly said, "Indeed, we do have a reward policy. However, the gold coins aren't much-only a hundred thousand."

​One hundred thousand gold coins was already a substantial amount for Kieran.

​With his existing gold coins, he already has nearly five hundred thousand in total.

​For many regular families, this is something they could only dream of!

​"I must be honest, principal, my family's financial situation is quite average: I kindly request you to expedite this reward to me."

​At this, the principal slightly nodded.

​He could tell from Kieran's attire that the student indeed came from a less affluent background.

​"Not a problem, you'll receive the reward within three days. Anything else that you would like from the school?"

​Upon hearing this, Kieran sank into thought then slowly replied, "Principal, I hope the school can afford me the maximum freedom in this period. I have my own ways of cultivating."

​Without giving it a second thought, the principal readily agreed.

​After all, the fact that Kieran could cultivate secretly to this day is enough to prove that his method of cultivation is flawless!

​Following a brief conversation with the principal, Kieran immediately left the school.

​As for the practical training, he had already exposed his strength. There was no need for him to return.

​Approximately half an hour later, Kieran appeared at the largest trading center in Ironhaven City.

​This is where douluos bought and sold beast nuclei, elixirs, and various kinds of items, and it is officially managed. Therefore, with Kieran's status, he could enjoy certain discounts!

​He had two purposes for this visit: one was to get a top-grade Wind Element beast nucleus; the other was an Ice Element beast nucleus.

​Since his perception of the Wind Element was only at S-level, he had previously used a top-grade beast nucleus to barely bring his strength up to the initial stage of tempering. He was just a step away from the intermediate stage!

​So, to reach the peak of the Wind Element, he would need at least two more top-grade Wind Element beast nuclei.

​As for his Ice Element, although his talent was at the SS level, to be on the safe side, he would also require two beast nuclei of the same elements.

​After browsing around the market, he spotted his target.

​He went straight to inquire about the price.

​"Sir, for two top-grade Wind Element beast nuclei, it will be 300,000 gold coins in total. May I ask how you would like to pay?"

​Hearing this, Kieran frowned instantly, "Why is it so expensive? Isn't a Fire Element beast nucleus of the same grade only 100,000 gold coins?"

​As soon as he finished speaking, the salesman immediately explained with a smile, "Sir, you might not be aware, but in addition to their grade, the price of a beast nucleus also depends on the rarity of that monster or demonic beast corresponding to that element."

​"Like Wind Element beasts, they are extremely rare, so the price is naturally a bit higher."

​It wasn't until this moment that Kieran realized, different elemental beast cores all had varied prices!

​After a brief contemplation, Kieran gritted his teeth and ultimately decided to buy these two beast cores.

​"By the way, do I get any discounts here?"

​As he asked, Kieran took out his Dou Union's certification report.

    Regardless of his speculation, he must be cautious. And if I stay here, it will make him think I'm not afraid of anything.Though Warren Griffin is arrogant, he is careful and not impulsive."To Imperial City!" After some thought, he finally made the decision.Returning to the military headquarters, he feared that the other party would not be able to catch up with him, and by then, the other party would not dare to enter the military headquarters to kill him.Imperial City was the best option. After all, he came from First Saint Academy — having a reason to go there."Killing you is truly an uphill battle!" Kieran shook his head.He believed that when Warren Griffin found out he was in Imperial City, he would definitely pursue.After all, killing the Demon Child was not enough to scare him off.Warren Griffin, after all, had broken through the Nine Stars and had spent some time by the side of the Martial Saint.Although this period was not long, as a personal disciple, he must have be

    The other one, instantly sobering up from the alcohol, "What ghost, that's a person, someone's been murdered, run quickly!"With those words, she pulled the other girl towards a nearby residential building.Meanwhile, a ball of flame appeared in Kieran's hand, which he directly threw onto the dead man's body, instantly burning it to ashes.He then looked towards the two figures that were suddenly stationary."De... Demon Child!" The remaining man, upon seeing his companion's downfall, had his face drastically changed.It happened too quickly, his death was too fast, they just barely reacted.The Demon Child stared at Kieran, also surprised inside. Just a moment ago, he thought about making a move, but it was already too late."No wonder you dared to kill Warren Griffin's son. You do have some skills!"

    At that very moment, Kieran stood outside the gate of Silverbrook Estate, shaking his head in disappointment. He'd walked the entire way back from the hotel, deliberately keeping a slow pace in hopes that whoever Warren Griffin sent would make their move. Only by cutting down whatever hired hands came for him could he force Warren Griffin into acting personally. But the entire walk had passed without incident.Wait just one more day. Don't disappoint me, he thought to himself, walking through the gate.The next day, Kieran paid a visit to the Summit & Sea Martial Arts Gym. Just as Jasper had said, there was nothing troubling the place. The members were united, and while none of them were likely to risk their lives for it, none harbored any ulterior motives either.He didn't start the walk home until after nightfall. The streets were nearly empty at that hour, the lighting dim, and he passed hardly anyone along the way. Still, he stayed sharply alert. If Warren Griffin had gotten the n

    As one of Aldric Fenn's personal guards — a man who had served him for over a century — this was the first time he had ever seen his master shake his head over a disciple's fate. He knew Aldric Fenn had taken only three personal disciples in all his years, and this was the third. The first two, talented as they were, had both met unexpected ends despite their relatively modest cultivation. This time, having taken Warren Griffin on the moment he reached nine stars, the guard could sense that Aldric Fenn didn't want anything to go wrong with this one.The phantom lingered a moment longer, shook its head once more, and slowly faded from where it stood. A personal guard moving on the Martial Saint's behalf meant a major conflict was brewing.After leaving the tower, Warren Griffin made straight for Westport City, the nearest city to the West Sea. From there, he went straight to the local branch of the Everlasting Martial Arts Hall. His arrival sent the entire Hall scrambling to greet him

    Soon, the manager led them all to the private room. He personally attended to them and served every dish himself, handling the whole affair with visible trepidation."Let me introduce you — this is Caelan, the new director of the Military Department's office here in Ironhaven City. Going forward, I'll be counting on you all to look out for him," Kieran said, making the introductions.Caelan hurried to greet them properly, and introductions went around the table.Victor Kane turned to Kieran. "So you came to inspect the office and just... took Gareth Xu down yourself?""He's dead," Kieran said simply.Everyone gasped and turned to look at him, baffled. Seeing their curious looks, Kieran stopped holding back and laid it all out — how the local office had been colluding with the Everlasting Martial Arts Hall, and how it had ended in several deaths.When they heard that he'd also killed Fu Shan and Reid Fallow, the three of them were shaken to their core. They suddenly felt like they shou

    Caught off guard, the manager stammered, "Yes, yes — they're all here. President Kane and Lord Pembroke are right over there," pointing toward the hotel entrance.Spotting Lord Pembroke and Victor Kane, Sebastian asked, "Where's Kieran?""Huh?" The manager stood there, dumbfounded. He had no idea who Kieran was.Shaking his head, Sebastian realized the manager simply didn't know who Kieran was, and walked on toward Lord Pembroke and Victor Kane."Sebastian, you're here too? It's my turn to host this time — you weren't even on the guest list," Lord Pembroke laughed as he saw him approach.Sebastian stayed impassive. "I'm not here to eat. I came to give you face."Lord Pembroke chuckled, but Sebastian's expression didn't change, leaving the exchange rather flat.At that, Victor Kane cheerfully changed the subject. "That kid Kieran seems to have come back from the war zone on urgent business, and now he's about to head out again — hence this sudden little gathering.""Can you believe it
