"To be challenged, and reward the survivors." Responded the voice with a cold, and intimidating tone. At the mention of a reward, the group stopped walking towards the exit gate, and turned to look back at the half immortal puppet. "What is the reward?" Asked Cynna with curiosity, but without obtaining a response. Differently from a normal puppet which required a constant input of consciousness to work properly, the unsuccessful ascension of a half immortal puppet would bind the intent left within…-

As soon as Daniel was left alone, he slowly walked towards the old man Golden Cauldron, and his son, the Silver Alchemist. The latter was the one amongst them who knew Daniel the most, but from the way he had acted, he wasn’t sure whether Daniel was actually back to his former self, or was still possessed by Sewah. This changed when he was able to recognize Daniel’s smile the moment he approached them. "Where the hell have you been?" the Silver Alchemist suddenly blurted out. "I will tell you…

"Don’t do anything stupid. Your family already has enough to mourn today." Said Daniel while casually placing his hand on the man’s shoulder. The leader of the Egregious Mercantile Ethics was too enraged to listen to reason, so the moment he felt the power that was emanated by Daniel’s body, he sent a powerful backhand punch that landed perfectly on Daniel’s face, blowing his head to bits. As Daniel’s body fell limp on the ground, Leader Stein turned to look back at the old man Golden…

As soon as the gate opened, a mechanical sound began to resound from within its interiors. The participants instinctively remembered about the explosion of the gates that had blocked the entrance of the tunnel, and took a few steps back, but their worries were put at ease the moment the mechanic sound ended with a loud click, and the two massive doors parted from one another. The world that stood on the other side of the island, was that of an extremely dense jungle. The trees were not particularly big,…

For companies that were as active in the universal government’s market as the ones that formed the conglomerates, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand essence gems were not of much value. However, that was not necessarily true for the cultivators in it. After all, most of the funds of a company were kept for business purposes, and each conglomerate had to nurture millions, if not tens of millions of cultivators at the same time. What had shocked Gannet and the others, was not the amount of…

Cato, Two hours later. Two hours had passed since the beginning of the contest, and yet, the streets that surrounded the headquarters of Cato’s conglomerates, were still full of cultivators. All of them were spectating the competition thanks to a few floating arrays that had been installed in the skies of Cato’s main cities. These arrays would produce three-dimensional illusions, which the observing cultivators could use to follow the movements of the participants. Only four of these arrays had…

On the other side of the island, right when the floating number had decreased, the body of one of the unidentified beings had fallen at Nilo’s feet. On its chest was a cavity formed by the impact of an incredibly powerful punch that broke the barrier of sound, as well as the sternum of the unfortunate attacker. The rest of blue-skinned cultivators that had emerged from the sea did not appear to be affected by the loss of one of their own, and instead, attacked as indifferently as the deceased one did…

The scenery that surrounded the students changed, and soon after, they found themselves in what appeared to be the crater of an active volcano. Underneath their feet was a surface composed of multiple layers of rock and dust, and the smoke that came out of the small vents forced the thousands of young cultivators to have difficulties in even keeping their eyes open. Despite the odd situation, not a single one of these young cultivators entered into a state of panic. Instead, those who were adept in the…

Sitting on the numerous surfaces of Finn’s room, were the many senior students of Daniel’s academy. Amongst them were Nilo, Finn, Miri, Riri, Yala, Cynna, Fyro, Zack, Mea, and Reila. All of their expressions were stern, as they knew that this mission was of great importance, as well as presented a great danger to those who would take part in it. After Nilo’s explanation, the room became quiet for what was just a minute, but felt like an hour. Reila was looking at her husband, who she knew would…

Egregious Mercantile Ethics headquarters, Mister Mir’s office. "How would this event work, exactly?" Asked Emelnie, who along with the old man Golden Cauldron, his son Silver Alchemist, and Master Kye, were sitting on the other side of a wide desk. On the other side of this desk, Mister Mir was sitting on his oddly large chair with a dignified and proud expression. His behaviour towards the Emelnie and the others was not out of arrogance, but an act. After all, he was one of the most important…
