"Thanks for taking some time for me," Kevin said as he sat in his newly bought armored XUV. Keyara smiled and said, "Thanks won't work, you'll have to treat me to a meal." "Then tomorrow when we meet, the meal's on me," he said with a smile as he rubbed the steering wheel. He had splurged almost 200k units on this thing, but he still thought he got it cheaper, considering his habit of converting units into Omni tokens. This much was just about 2000 Omni tokens, as one token is worth about 100…-

Kevin glanced at the holographic ads showcasing the latest car models while he waited for Keyara. He had originally planned to buy a car a few days later, but considering his aunt's distress and the somber mood at home, he figured it might lift the spirits or at least divert her attention from her troubles. However, he couldn't deny that he also had ulterior motives. The morning incident had left him curious about what lay beneath that pink towel. He knew it was wrong to entertain such thoughts, but…

After about 10 minutes, Maria finally calmed down and sat beside Kevin, bombarding him with questions. "Are you hurt?" "Where are you hurt?" "How did you get hurt?" "Why did you get hurt?" "Were you being stupid?" "Why did you do that? You could have been hurt!" All her questions revolved around whether he was injured or if he had acted foolishly. Despite the repetitive nature of her inquiries, Kevin could see the genuine concern in her eyes, so he patiently answered each one without feeling…

Finally, the trio reached their destination. The ride had been smooth, and they arrived quite early. They had boarded the ride late at night, and now it was early morning as they disembarked. The streets were nearly deserted, with few cars on the road. The peaceful atmosphere provided a stark contrast to the chaotic incident they had just experienced. Before that, in the den, the atmosphere could be described as silent, but silence didn't necessarily mean peace. They stretched their tense bodies,…

"Think of understanding new runes like a qualification you have to meet to increase your cultivations. But you just can't comprehend any fire runes to increase the cultivation; you need specific ones, working with other fire runes, water runes, and etc., then add them into your fighting techniques. Finally, you can add them into your cultivations. Now, cultivation techniques are made from runes; the lowest ranks one has about 100 or so runes at the first realm. That's why they are weak. The more…

"Finally, no one's going to trace it back to us," Keyara remarked, her eyes fixed on the small craft submerging into the river. It had been more than a day since they witnessed the blast, an event that resembled the sun descending to scorch the earth, reducing the colossal Nimbus Desire to dust. The day had provided them with much-needed rest after expending all of their qi. It was also sufficient time to reach near their home city, Lucima. However, instead of heading directly to Lucima, they…

Bam! The resounding crash echoed through the corridor as the leader of the green-haired group collided with the metal wall, leaving a noticeable dent. His body, already riddled with injuries before the impact, seemed to worsen from the powerful collision. Standing before him was a creature like the one Lidia had fought earlier, albeit larger in size and sporting two ominous black horns atop its head. Surrounding the creature were bodies strewn across the floor, while it stood atop what appeared to…

As the trio made their way towards the hanger bay, emerging from the shadows of the hallway were two figures with wooden masks obscuring their faces. However, their distinctive green hair made them easily recognizable. One of them spoke, his tone dripping with arrogance and disgust as he glanced at the charred and mangled remains of the creature Kevin and the others had just slain. "They were lucky this one wasn't fully transformed." The other person nodded in agreement and spoke with an even more…

As the blade met the creature's neck, there was a sickening crunch as the sharp edge sliced through flesh and bone. The creature's head, now slice in two, tumbled through the air before landing at Viana's feet with a grotesque thud. Its elongated neck, also sliced cleanly in two, twitched spasmodically on the ground, sending shivers down Kevin's spine. A chorus of roars echoed through the corridor as the creature writhed in agony, its remaining limbs thrashing wildly. Despite the searing pain, it…

Keyara's sword made a deep cut into the creature's arm, spraying crimson blood into the air. However, despite the significant wound inflicted, the blade failed to sever the bone completely, becoming lodged in the toughened flesh. With a grunt of frustration, Keyara exerted all her strength to free her sword from the creature's arm, but the blade remained stubbornly lodged within the toughened flesh. The creature, sensing the obstruction, reacted swiftly. In a sudden burst of movement, the arm…
