God Of War Dad

Exasperating! Chan actually conceded! The words coming from Chan’s mouth left the academy disciples feeling as if they were in a dream, barely able to believe their ears. Their hearts trembled fiercely as they stared in unison at the direction Chan disappeared, unable to regain their composure for a long time!

Defeated! Great Ape actually defeated Chan! And! It only took sixteen moves! This was Chan, undefeated in the academy, whether in the early stages of dark energy or in the middle stages, he was an invincible presence, always first, never second!

However! In front of everyone, Great Ape decisively and with an immensely dominant posture shattered Chan’s undefeated myth, and also slapped everyone’s face!

When the academy disciples regained their senses and looked again at Sean standing alone on the fighting stage, their expressions became complex, a little less disdain and a little more solemn and reverent!

Yes! Reverence! The world follows the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. This is especially true in the Buddha Academy, where practitioners always earn respect and fear from others. If Sean’s previous defeat of Ken and the others wasn’t enough to demonstrate his strength, wasn’t enough to make the academy disciples convinced, then Chan’s defeat was enough, thoroughly enough!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The sound of breaking air rang out as elders, instructors, and even the headmaster rushed to the fighting stage, arriving at Sean’s side. The excited expressions on their faces, filled with wrinkles, revealed their elation as they looked at Sean, as if they had found a priceless treasure!

“Excellent!” Hastiff couldn’t help but give three thumbs up in a row, praising Sean, “Truly worthy of being the young master of Gorillas, Mr. Great. His talent and combat power in cultivation are unparalleled. In this academy-wide martial arts competition, Mr. Great will surely shine brilliantly!”

In the end, Hastiff was aiming for the position of the headmaster in the academy-wide martial arts competition!

“Not bad! To defeat Chan in sixteen moves, such a record, even compared to the elite disciples of the other seventeen branches, is definitely outstanding. It is very likely that he will take the lead and win the title of the middle stage of dark energy!”

“With Mr. Great here, we’re secure!” The elders and instructors echoed Hastiff, flattering Sean, leaving the surrounding academy disciples stunned!

They suddenly understood, no wonder the headmaster treated “Great Ape” with such favor. It turned out that they had misjudged “Great Ape” with small-mindedness, thinking the worst. It wasn’t that “Great Ape” had some hold over the headmaster, but rather, it was genuine skill!

Unacceptable! However, faced with the flattery and compliments from these old fogeys, Sean’s expression remained unchanged, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, unmoved. He returned the cold iron dagger in his hand to Mr. Sun and shook his head. “If I remember correctly, I just came to the Buddha Academy to see what kind of people your disciples are. I didn’t promise to join the Buddha Academy, did I?”

This one sentence left Hastiff and the others speechless, their smiles frozen on their faces! In an instant, the entire martial arts arena fell silent!

Damn it! Truly worthy of being Great Ape, as arrogant and unbridled as ever, utterly disdainful!

“Well…” Hastiff’s face turned black for a moment, but he suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile, “Mr. Great, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. The academy-wide martial arts competition held in the capital in ten days is very important for our Plainwater Town branch!”

“Of course! If Mr. Great can lend us a hand and win, there will be heavy gratitude afterwards!”

“As for… whether you want to formally join the Buddha Academy, it can be decided by Mr. Great after the academy-wide martial arts competition!”

Simply put, as long as Sean was willing to represent the Plainwater Town branch in the academy-wide martial arts competition, Hastiff didn’t care about anything else. Even if Sean left immediately after the competition, it would be fine!

“Gratitude afterwards?” Sean raised an eyebrow and asked, “Afterward? Not before? It sounds like an empty promise, doesn’t it?”

At this, Hastiff’s face grew even darker. He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “If Mr. Great doesn’t mind, please come with me. Let’s talk somewhere else…”

The martial arts arena was too crowded. As the head of the branch, Hastiff was also afraid that “Great Ape” would say something that would embarrass him!

As soon as he finished speaking, Hastiff took Sean away from the martial arts arena, leaving only Mr. Sun to oversee the upcoming martial arts competition. The academy disciples looked on, envious…

“Please, young friend,” Hastiff said, leading Sean to his residence. They sat on stone benches in another courtyard. Instead of immediately continuing their previous discussion, Hastiff inquired, “I’ve heard that Gorillas have a fellow named Great Monkey, is that true?”

“Indeed,” Sean nodded, asking in return, “Is there an issue with that?”

“Not at all,” Hastiff shook his head. “Although I may not be very astute, I can see that you’ve likely reached the threshold of the late stage of dark energy and could potentially break through at any time.”

“So,” he continued, “those supplementary treasures for breaking through are unnecessary for you. However, it’s different for Great Monkey. He is a cultivator at the Complete Stage, likely not far from approaching the Bright Realm. This half-step difference is like a chasm, a hundred times more challenging than advancing from the middle to the late stage of dark energy. I’ve been through it and understand the difficulty. Most people spend their entire lives and still cannot take that half-step.”

“As luck would have it,” Hastiff paused, leaving the rest unsaid. However, the implied message was clear: as a condition for inviting Sean to represent Plainwater Town branch in the upcoming academy-wide martial arts competition, they would offer something to aid Great Monkey’s advancement towards the Bright Realm.

This condition, if placed on an ordinary person, would undoubtedly be very tempting. Unfortunately, Sean was no ordinary person.

“Approaching the Bright Realm?” Sean said, seemingly nonchalant. Then there was silence, his face calm, showing no excitement.

This made Hastiff very uncomfortable.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

It seemed that this brat was young in age, but had significant ambitions!

Glancing at Mr. Sun, Hastiff grit his teeth and forced a smile. “If Great Monkey doesn’t need it, our branch’s treasure trove has many other valuable items, from the prestigious ‘Confluence Pill’ to the Colored Glaze Holy Water needed to activate bloodlines. Whatever you want, feel free to ask.”

“Confluence Pill?” Sean’s interest was piqued. “What exactly is that?”

“Oh?” Hastiff’s mouth twitched, his heart pounding. “The Confluence Pill is something only practitioners at the Bright Realm can use. As the name suggests, it’s used to consolidate and break through to the Confluence stage. It’s of no use to those of us below the Bright Realm. Forcefully taking it would be counterproductive, leading to bodily explosion!”

Sean’s eyes lit up. “Is its effect substantial? If a consolidating practitioner takes it, what’s the probability of successfully advancing to the Confluence stage?”

“This…” Hastiff was sweating, suddenly realizing he might have misspoken. He quickly shook his head. “It’s just a pill, indeed useful for breakthroughs. As for the probability, I’ve never taken it, so it’s hard to say!”

“Could it be that…” Old Mr. Sun’s expression turned worried. “In Gorillas, is there a cultivator at the Bright Realm?”

This was also what Hastiff was concerned about!

Damn it!

Little did they know, within the entire Plainwater Town Branch, there was only one Confluence Pill. It was obtained through great difficulty by Pastiff, Hastiff’s younger brother, leveraging the relationship of an elder from the Capital Main Branch. Given the multitude of practitioners in the capital, fraught with political intrigue and deception, for safety’s sake, Pastiff entrusted the Confluence Pill to Hastiff. They made a pact that whoever ascended to the Bright Realm first and made a breakthrough with the Confluence Pill would be the one to use it!

Not only was it invaluable, but even if all the treasures from the entire treasure vault of the Plainwater Town Branch were combined, they would still pale in comparison to the preciousness of the Confluence Pill!

After all, throughout the Middleland, Bright Realm practitioners were already scarce, and superlative practitioners of the Confluence were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, possessing a terrifying strength akin to the Hall of Jade’s Twelve Demons!

Just a moment ago, Hastiff spoke casually. Who could have imagined that his thoughtless words would be taken to heart by that little bastard, Sean?

“Of course!” Sean laid his cards on the table, dropping the act and nodding with a smile. “Is it strange for a mere member of the Gorillas, like Great Monkey, to possess the strength of the Complete Stage? Given that there are Bright Realm practitioners among the Gorillas, isn’t it peculiar?”

As Sean’s words fell, both Hastiff and Mr. Sun turned pale, their expressions akin to having eaten something extremely distasteful!

How careless!

Damn it!

Hastiff felt the urge to slap himself in the face for speaking so carelessly!

With a gulp, Mr. Sun swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked with a trembling voice, “Mr. Great, what kind of organization is your Gorillas? Previously unknown and never mentioned, why are they so powerful?”

Bright Realm practitioners are known to possess imperial potential, enough to dominate a region; how could an organization like the Gorillas suddenly emerge, alongside figures like Lord North, the head of the Buddha Academy, and Albert Sitwell, the ruler of the North Kingdom?

“Is it important?” The so-called Gorillas were entirely fabricated by Sean to deceive others; naturally, he wouldn’t reveal much to Hastiff and Mr. Sun. The less said, the more mysterious it seemed!

So, Sean spoke in a low voice, saying, “Those details are unimportant, not your concern!”

“What’s important,” he continued, “is that I’m not interested in anything else. I only want that Confluence Pill!”

The strength of the Hall of Jade had surpassed Sean’s previous expectations. Currently, he urgently needed to elevate his own state and power, and the appearance of the Confluence Pill aligned perfectly with his intentions. It was akin to being hungry and having someone offer food, or being tired and given a pillow. He naturally couldn’t pass up such an opportunity!

To be frank, if he had seen the Confluence Pill before, knew its appearance and whereabouts, Sean would have been tempted to reveal his true strength and directly make a move to seize it!
