[Fantasy] Gods and Demons Among Flowers (Complete) - 5

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Beauty Arrives

After escaping the entanglement of that wicked old woman, Su Ya, I happily stepped into my dormitory, filled with joy. However, the dormitory seemed slightly different today; it was more tranquil and less noisy, perfectly harmonizing with its surroundings. The artificial hills, the cascading streams, the lush green grass, the vibrant flowers and trees, coupled with the birdsong, made it seem like a paradise. I was almost intoxicated by it.

Stepping into the dormitory, wow, it really was a refreshing sight! The usually messy dormitory was so bright today. Had these guys changed their ways? That would be truly something to be happy about. Just then, I saw them sitting upright on the bed, so I smiled and said, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, what brings you to the dorm today? You've cleaned it spotless. Look how neatly the books are folded, and how clean your smelly socks are. Impressive!" To show my sincerity, I even patted them on the shoulder. But the three boys didn't utter a sound, their three pairs of eyes fixed on my bed, as if trying to tell me something. I scratched my head, feeling a bit confused. These three boys have changed their ways too quickly! Then, following their gaze, I realized there were two people sitting on my bed—two girls, it seemed. Girls! Wow, beautiful women! No wonder these three boys have changed their ways; there are two beauties here, and they're even twins! Look at that snow-white skin, those grape-like eyes, those long, curled eyelashes, those delicate, arched eyebrows, that pert little nose, those rosy lips, that oval face—wow, she's absolutely mesmerizing! My drool is practically dripping from her eyes. The two beauties looked at me with disgust, glaring angrily. Seeing the situation was turning sour, the three of them quickly pulled me out of my daze.

"You're that Xie Yun?" the beauty in green asked bluntly.

"That's me. May I ask what brings you two ladies here?" I wiped the drool from my mouth and replied politely. I couldn't leave a bad impression on such a beautiful woman, or it would be much harder to win her over later. Unfortunately, I hadn't realized my mistake earlier; my rude behavior had already left a bad impression on the two beauties.

"Oh, why are you being so polite today? You weren't like this when you bullied my eldest and second sisters the other day," the beautiful woman in red said sarcastically. Apparently, this woman was on Su Ya's side.

"What eldest and second sisters? Ladies, I really don't know what you're talking about," I said, somewhat bewildered. "I

didn't expect someone to have such a bad memory," Lina (in red) said sarcastically.

"You!" Hoss was a man not to be trifled with; if someone offended his brothers, he didn't care if it was a man or a woman, and he'd immediately shout.

"Hoss, shut up!" I dismissed Hoss and politely asked, "Ladies, I really don't know who you're talking about, please enlighten me!"

"I don't know if you really don't know, or if you're pretending, but Lilia and Vivian are our eldest and second sisters!" Lina replied arrogantly.

"Oh, I see. May I ask your names, ladies?" I asked with a fawning grin. Since they're here to cause me trouble anyway, why should I pretend?

"My name is Liya," Liya replied politely. Liya seemed gentle, generous, and courteous; she would make a wonderful wife and mother. Whoever marries her will be incredibly happy.

"My name is Lina," Lina replied curtly. Oh dear, she can't even give me a friendly look when I ask my name. How will I ever get married?

"A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you! So you're Liya, ranked fourth or fifth on the school beauty list. Miss Lina, my apologies!" I returned the greeting. "

May I ask why you two ladies have come to question me?" I asked.

"Hmph, still won't admit it. Now the whole school knows you flirted with the eldest and second eldest sisters. If you call her 'eldest sister,' how will the second eldest sister save face?" Lina said bluntly.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, ladies! I really didn't harass your eldest and second sisters. Besides, among their many protectors are quite capable men. How could I, with my meager skills, dare to harass them? And they're just friends. Their second and third brothers can vouch for that." I hurriedly excused myself, trying to drag Rein and Hoss into the mess. They had to take the blame for some things.

"I don't know them, I don't know them!" the two hurriedly waved their hands, as if this was a hot potato. "Fine, you two tricked me at this crucial moment. Just wait and see how I deal with you later." I thought angrily.

"Now what do you have to say? You still say you didn't do it? Now even your roommate has betrayed you!" Lina said sweetly.

"You, you two are so...so..." I pointed at Hoss and the other woman, too angry to speak. The two seemed a little guilty, lowering their heads and avoiding my gaze.

"Anyway, whatever you say is red, it's red; whatever you say is black, it's no use arguing with me." I simply let them do as they pleased.

"What...what do you mean? Are you saying we're not being fair?" Lina said, hands on her hips, glaring angrily. This girl had absolutely no ladylike demeanor, a complete opposite of her older sister. I really don't know how her mother could have given birth to these twins with such contrasting personalities.

"No, nothing. Whatever you say, it's either right or wrong. I have no objection." Seriously, trying to reason with them is worse than killing myself. Especially with a shrew like Lina, being right is the same as being wrong. What's the point of arguing?

"What do you mean?" Lina suddenly rushed up and grabbed my ear, shouting angrily.

Ouch, stop, stop, stop! I didn't do anything to you. Why are you grabbing my ear? Besides, what right do you have to grab me? You're nobody to me! "I was really annoyed by the pain from being pinched.

'Who I am to you is not important, what's important is that I like pinching you, so what, you don't like it?' As she spoke, Lina realized something was off. How did she become someone to him? It would be incredibly embarrassing to say that. Even this generous girl couldn't help but blush and awkwardly pinch me.

'You, Xie Yun, how dare you tease me to my face! Let's see how I teach you a lesson.' Lina twisted my ear in various ways. A heart-wrenching pain made me howl, and finally I succumbed to the shrew's tyranny.

'Good, finally you're willing to tell the truth!' Lina said excitedly.

'I said, ladies, I really didn't do that kind of thing, how can you expect me to tell the truth?' I said with a tearing face.

'Xie Yun, believe it or not, I'll twist your ear off!'" "Lina pinched my ear again, threatening me.

"I believe you, I believe you, okay?" Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex, but I covered my tormented ear and smiled bitterly.

"Then tell me the truth quickly." Lina shouted impatiently.

"This is what happened." I told them everything that happened that day, "Look, I've told you everything that happened that day, you should believe me now."

"Hmph, who would believe what you say? With your pathetic appearance, I bet it's mostly fake." Lina said with a look of disdain. "

Don't be so unreasonable, people's patience always has its limits." I said through gritted teeth. "

I'm just being too much, so what? You're not happy about it? The number one trash in school, come on." Lina looked at me like she was saying, "What can you do about it?"

"You said it yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless." "I said with a gloomy face. I hate it when people violate my taboos. I'd rather die than be humiliated. I'll make you pay for slandering me. The fighting spirit hidden in my body radiated outwards, forming a white-gold band of light around me. As my aura expanded, the band of light moved forward little by little, like ripples spreading outwards.

Just as my aura reached its peak, Liya finally realized she had stirred up unnecessary trouble. She quickly stepped in front of her sister and said,

"Sister, stop fooling around. I'm sorry, Xie Yun, I apologize for my sister's recklessness. As for whether that matter is true or not, that remains to be discussed. We won't disturb you any longer, see you later." After saying that, Liya pulled the reluctant Lina out the door and left. The aura I had already gathered dissipated the moment Liya stepped in. I cursed inwardly: See you later, huh? Bah, let's say we never meet again.

On the way, Lina asked Liya reproachfully, "Sister, why didn't you let me teach that kid a lesson?"

"You still have to talk about it? Do you know you just took a trip to the underworld?" Liya said irritably

. "Sister, you're exaggerating. I could have pinned that kid down with just one finger," Lina said arrogantly.

"Sis, you really need to change your stubborn temper. You could have lost your life! Do you know how dangerous that was? You were almost dead! If I hadn't reacted in time, neither of us would have left that dormitory building today!" Liya advised earnestly.

"Sis, is it really that dangerous? I didn't feel anything!" Lina asked doubtfully.

"Do you think I need to lie to you? Look at his aura, layer upon layer, increasing exponentially. When it reached its peak, I think we'd be crushed to death by his sheer power, bleeding from all seven orifices, without him even lifting a finger." Liya said with lingering fear.

"That powerful!" Lina exclaimed in surprise.

"Not only that, but his battle aura was white with a hint of gold. That's clearly at the level of a legendary Saint Seiya." Liya said seriously.

"Saint Seiya?" Lina asked in astonishment.

"This is the legendary highest level of warrior, something that hasn't appeared in thousands of years. I never thought I'd have the honor of seeing it today," Lia murmured to herself.

"Sister, but I don't think he's like that at all. How could someone so young reach the level that all warriors dream of? Many warriors spend their entire lives without ever achieving it!" Lina could hardly believe that I was the legendary Saint Seiya.

"Anything is possible. As the old saying goes, 'You can't judge a book by its cover,' we can't judge a book by its cover. We can't just judge him based on his age. No, we should inform the Queen Mother about such an important matter and ask her to make the decision," Lia said seriously. "

Then I'll write a letter to the Queen Mother right away." Lina didn't dare to be careless either, after all, this was a huge secret, and if it were leaked, it would change the entire continent's situation.

"Okay, let's go together!" The two women hurriedly left.

Inside the dormitory, I, full of anger, glared at Hoss and Rein. The two knew they were in the wrong and curled up on the bed, trembling like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"You two, you betrayed your boss for a pretty face! What's your punishment?!" I roared.

"Boss, we were just joking with you, who knew..." Hoss said with a bitter face.

"A joke? Is this how you joke? My ears are still hurting now. I'll teach you a lesson." I said with a strange smile.

"Boss, please, please forgive us! We promise we won't do it again." Rein and Hoss begged for mercy.

"Too late, Heavy Hammer Spark!" I cast a spell in a strange way. "Enjoy it slowly!"

Above the dormitory, the once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. The clouds gathered and condensed, finally forming a giant hammer made of dark clouds. The raised hammer fell with a thud, and a purple lightning bolt as thick as an arm struck down into the dormitory. Two screams were heard as the lightning struck the two traitors. The hammer continued to fall, accompanied by screams from inside the dormitory. After the last bolt of lightning struck, the cries of agony ceased in the dormitory. When the dust settled and the sky cleared, Yad and I, stepping into the dormitory, were startled. We hadn't expected the hammer's sparks to be so powerful; the dormitory was charred black, the books, desks, and cabinets reduced to ashes. On a blackened bed lay two charred "corpses," though they didn't seem completely dead, their bodies twitching occasionally and groaning.

I slapped my forehead, annoyed, thinking: "Damn, we went too far. Looks like these two will be bedridden for at least a month, if not dead." We rushed Rhine and Hoss to the infirmary. The doctor was equally astonished. He had never seen anyone so badly struck by lightning, and he was even more amazed by their resilience. Despite such a powerful blow, their internal organs had only suffered minor injuries; only their skin had been burned, requiring considerable rest. Still relying on your hands?

Chapter 30 of Entering the Human Realm: The Saint Seiya Incident.

Within a month of Rhine and Hoss's recovery, the situation on the entire continent underwent earth-shattering changes, all because of the appearance of Saint Seiya on the continent. Saint Seiya, the legendary highest level of martial arts, had never appeared for thousands of years. Just when people were about to forget him, he finally appeared. His appearance was no less significant than the appearance of the Saint Magister; his appearance made the relations between countries more detailed; his appearance caused the balance of the world to begin to tilt, and factors of instability began to spread.

In the main hall of the Woma Palace in the Fire Dance Duchy, Queen Aite sat solemnly on her throne, while her ministers stood respectfully below the steps.

"My esteemed ministers," she began, "I just received a message from my son via carrier pigeon, saying that a Saint Seiya is hidden within the Qiwan Magic and Martial Arts Academy." These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the ministers below.

Minister of the Grand Council, Victor, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Granted!"

"A Saint Seiya has never appeared in thousands of years. How did Your Highness learn of this so suddenly?" Victor posed his question.

"Well, my two daughters witnessed it themselves; it is indeed true!" Queen Aite paused slightly before confirming.

"Your Majesty," Victor continued, "as far as I know, a single Saint Seiya is worth a million soldiers. What are Your Majesty's views on Saint Seiya?"

“As far as my daughter knows, that Saint Seiya is very young and extremely lecherous. If it weren’t for her two older sisters standing up for him, probably no one would even know of his existence.”

“Young? A Saint Seiya who has reached the highest level of martial arts is actually a young man? Your Majesty, isn’t this a bit ridiculous?” Right Chancellor Solot asked skeptically.

“Would my daughter intentionally deceive me?” Queen Ete’s face showed a hint of anger.

“Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!” The ministers, seeing the Queen’s angry expression, quickly apologized.

“Your Majesty, I have something else to report.” Assistant Minister David stepped forward.

“What is it?”

“Since the Saint Seiya is so powerful, shouldn’t we try to win him over? Also, according to what Your Majesty just said, this man is extremely lecherous. Perhaps we could use a honey trap? But we are miles away from him. If we really send someone there, I’m afraid I would have already been kidnapped. Perhaps…” David said hesitantly.

“Perhaps what? Speak quickly, my dear minister!” Queen Ete said impatiently.

"Why not send the princess to seduce him?" David finally voiced his idea.

"Absurd! How could I bear to let my daughter do such a thing? This matter is not open to discussion!" Queen Aite slammed her hand on the table and said resolutely. "

Your Majesty, our country is located in a remote area, bordered to the east by the largest canyon on the Magic Martial Continent—the Hark Great Rift Valley, to the west by the Phantom Beast Forest, one of the four wonders of the world, to the north by the Mengke Empire, one of the four great empires of the Magic Martial Continent, and to the south by our long-time enemy, the Hawk Empire. Faced with such a formidable enemy, we have no way forward and no way back. If it weren't for the sturdy Bruste Fortress and the Phantom Beast Knights, we would probably have perished long ago. But the Bruste Fortress will eventually be breached, and the Phantom Beast Knights are few in number. Are we just going to wait to die like this?" Left Prime Minister Buske pleaded earnestly.

"This concerns my son's lifelong happiness, we must not act rashly. Please allow me to discuss it with them first," Queen Aite said with difficulty. "If there is nothing to report, I will adjourn the court."

"Adjourn the court." Queen Aite waved her hand, and the messenger immediately announced. The ministers successively withdrew from the hall, and the once noisy hall became silent again.

Late at night, in the rear hall of the Woma Palace, in Her Majesty's bedroom, Queen Aite opened the magical teleportation mirror. After the mirror blurred, the lazy images of the two sisters, Lia and Lina, dressed in pajamas appeared in the mirror.

"Mother, it's been a long time, how have you been!" Lina greeted her immediately.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Queen Aite replied with a smile.

"Mother, what brings you here so late at night? Has something happened in the palace?" Lia asked politely.

"My children, nothing is wrong at home, but I would like to ask you about some things," Queen Aite said kindly.

“What would you like to ask, Mother? We’ll tell you as much as we know!” Lia replied with a smile.

“I’d like to know something about the Saint Seiya.”

“Oh, I don’t know much about him either. But I’ll tell you everything I know about him,” Lia said truthfully.

“Hehe, knowing is better than not knowing!” Queen Aite chuckled.

“Then I’ll relay everything I know to you!” Lia said with a smile.

"Xie Yun, 20 years old, from the Xuanwu Continent, is a student in Class F of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy. He entered the academy as the last-ranked student in its history. It is said that on his first day of class, he became famous throughout the school for flirting with the beautiful instructor, Su Ya. However, afterward, some people discovered that his relationship with Su Ya was unusual, and he was also very close to Su Ya's sister, Li Ya. Some people spread rumors that he had an ambiguous relationship with the two beautiful instructors of the academy. There are also recent rumors that he was responsible for crippling the only son of the Hain family, Ari. The cause was a fight over Sila, who was ranked third on the academy's beauty list. After defeating Ari, he was often seen with Sila, which made many people envious. Now there is new news that he flirted with Lilia, who ranked first on the beauty list, and Vivian, who ranked second, in broad daylight. We stood up for our eldest and second eldest sisters because of this, and that's how we found out that he is a Saint Seiya. Mother, that's all I know." Li Ya recounted the whole story in detail.

"I never imagined that Xie Yun was such a womanizer," Queen Aite said in surprise.

"Mother, you must stand up for me!" Lina pleaded sweetly from the side.

"My darling daughter, who has bullied you this time?" Queen Aite said with a smile.

"Isn't it the person my sister just mentioned?" Lina complained.

"What's wrong, my little Lina?" Queen Aite's smile deepened. "Tell me."

"Mother, your smile is so sly!" Lina said coquettishly. "That boy flirted with me and took advantage of me when I was confronting him!"

"Has he taken enough of you?" Queen Aite asked with interest.

"Mother, how can you ask your own daughter such a question!" Lina said shyly.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. I will definitely punish that lecherous wolf for you," Queen Aite promised with a smile.

The three women looked at each other and smiled.

"I would like to ask you a question, if that's alright?" Queen Aite asked cautiously.

"Mother, just give the order!" the two sisters said confidently.

"Do you like that person?"

"Which person?"

"The one you're talking about!"

"Mother, how can you ask such an embarrassing question? We just met him, how can we talk about liking or disliking him?" Lia said, blushing. Actually, the moment she saw me, her heart, which had been dormant for nineteen years, began to ripple. She felt that I was the prince charming of her life, but because of a girl's shyness, she didn't dare to say it in front of her mother.

"That's right, I think that person is always frivolous, flirting with girls all the time, or going out drinking with a bunch of shady friends. Even if everyone in the world died, I wouldn't like him." Lina looked at me with disgust, as if I were a monster.

"What if it's for the happiness of millions of people in our country? Lia, Lina, are you willing to sacrifice your lifelong happiness?" Queen Aite asked with a questioning look. As a queen, she deeply felt that she could not take care of family ties.

"Mother, I'm willing!" Lia answered firmly.

"Sister, why are you doing this? Is it worth sacrificing your beauty to seduce that scoundrel?" Lina tried to dissuade her, clearly displeased with this decision.

"My child, I don't want to force you, but you must think it through carefully," Queen Aite said with concern. As a mother, it would be a lie to say she didn't care about her child, but as

the ruler of a nation, she had to sever this bond, putting her in a real dilemma. No wonder the ancients said, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

"Mother, I know what I have to do, and I know that as a princess, there are too many unavoidable circumstances, and sometimes I have to sacrifice my own happiness for the future of the country. But since I'm the one to accomplish this task, I hope my sister won't do what I did, okay?" Lia said, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister!" Lina threw herself into Lia's arms, and the two women embraced and wept bitterly.

"Ya'er, you are so sensible. You shouldn't have been born into this imperial family!" Queen Aite's eyes were brimming with tears, but as the ruler of a nation, she tried her best to hold them back, only able to watch her daughter's sorrow.

"Your daughter will never disappoint Mother!" Lia said through her tears.

After turning off the video, Queen Aite's tears erupted like a volcano that had been building up for a long time, streaming down her face and dripping onto the brocade quilt, soaking a large area. Looking at herself in the mirror, she lamented that she was only thirty years old, yet she was already thinner than a withered flower, her prime years like a tiger, yet she had drifted away like fallen petals and withered leaves.

While Queen Aite was talking with the two princesses, in a secret room in the Right Prime Minister's residence, a middle-aged man with a sleazy appearance respectfully opened a magic teleportation mirror. A young man wearing a crown, with a mustache and a gloomy face appeared in the mirror.

The young man said with a gloomy expression, "Solot, how did you do with the task I assigned you?" It turned out that this sleazy-looking middle-aged man was Solot, the Right

Chancellor of the Fire Dance Duchy. "Your Majesty Hawk III, I deserve to die! Your Majesty, I failed to complete the task you entrusted to me. Please forgive me!" Solot said respectfully, kneeling on the ground. It turned out that the Right Chancellor was a spy sent by the Hawk Empire.

"Damn it! You can't even handle a small matter, what use are you!" Hawk III cursed, his face contorted. Then, as if muttering something under his breath, Solot, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly clutched his head and howled in agony.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have an important matter to report," Solot managed to utter, enduring the excruciating pain.

"What important matter?" Hawk III finally stopped chanting and asked.

"Is it about the Saints?" Solot gasped for breath. The pain he had just endured was unbearable for most; it was truly a mystery how he had withstood that ordeal.

"Saints? Aren't they the legendary highest symbol of warriors? Could they really exist?" Hawk III murmured to himself.

"Absolutely!"

"How so?" "

The news about the Saints came from the two princesses via carrier pigeon," Solot explained.

"Are those two bitches Aite's daughters still studying at the top academy on the Magic Martial Continent—Qiwan Magic Martial Academy? How did they know about the Saint Seiya? Could it be..." Hawk III's expression changed, and he asked in surprise.

"That's right, the Saint Seiya is hidden within the academy," Solot replied confidently.

"No wonder, it's not surprising that Qiwan Magic Martial Academy, known as the top academy on the entire continent, hides a Saint Seiya." Hawk III said matter-of-factly.

"How many people know about this?" Hawk III asked again.

"All the officials in the court know."

"Hahaha, Aite, you bitch, you actually dared to announce such an important matter. I believe that before long, everyone on the continent will know. At that time, hmph, that will be the perfect opportunity for me, Hawk III, to reap a great harvest." Hawk III laughed triumphantly.

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise." Solot flattered him.

"Alright, do a good job. After I destroy the Fire Dance Duchy, I will definitely reward you handsomely." Hawk III encouraged him and then turned off the video.

Three days later, the appearance of the Saint Seiya became known throughout the continent. Nations dispatched elites to infiltrate the Qiwan Magic and Martial Arts Academy to gather information about the Saint Seiya. The entire continent was thrown into turmoil, with nations deploying troops to their borders. Once the news of the Saint Seiya was confirmed and their allegiance resolved, war was imminent. A great war was about to erupt.

(Chapter 31: The Sword Saint)

When Rein's injuries healed, everyone was overjoyed. To make up for my mistake that day, I decided to treat them to a meal. We went to the second floor of the Dream Restaurant, where the waiters had already filled the table with our orders. Seeing the table laden with delicious food, everyone excitedly rushed to the table and

began Halfway through the meal, a waiter suddenly burst in and whispered a few words in my ear. I gestured for everyone to continue eating and followed the waiter to the top floor.

"Young Master, the Master has been waiting here for a long time," the waiter gestured for us to enter.

Pushing open the door, I saw Mike sitting in an old-fashioned chair, eyes closed in rest. Upon seeing me enter, Mike quickly bowed and said, "Young Master, this old servant greets you."

"No need for formalities," I replied with a smile. "Uncle Mike, what brings you here?"

"It's like this, according to our reliable intelligence, countries large and small across the continent have dispatched elites to infiltrate the Qiwan Magic and Martial Arts Academy."

"What are they doing infiltrating the academy?"

"For the Saint Seiya!"

"Saint Seiya?"

"The legendary highest level of martial arts—the Saint Seiya!"

"Is it powerful?"

"More than powerful, it's practically comparable to a million-strong army!"

"Oh, that's powerful. Have you found out who it is?"

"I don't know, I only know that the first to spread the news were the two princesses of the Fire Dance Kingdom."

"Who are they?"

"Princess Lia and Princess Lina."

"Oh, it's them." It seems they recognized me as the legendary Saint Seiya. Since they were the ones who spread the news, it seems someone is planning something against them.

"Young Master, do you know them?"

"I met them once, but we're not very familiar," I replied. "Oh, by the way, Uncle Mike, how are the two hundred assassins coming along?"

"Young Master's medicine is truly effective! It instantly raised those men to the Bronze Warrior level, and dozens more with martial arts skills have already reached the Blue Silver Warrior level."

"Very good, very good. Send ten Blue Silver Warriors to protect Princesses Lia and Lina," I commanded.

"Yes, sir."

"The other one hundred and ninety warriors should practice diligently to solidify their foundations. I believe they will be of great use soon." A graceful smile curved my lips, and a cold glint flashed in my eyes. "Young

Master, this old servant has some news."

"What news?"

"The Hain family has hired a Sword Saint assassin to kill you."

"Haha, the Hain family really knows how to spend money. Sword Saints—there are no more than two on the entire continent. Interesting, very interesting." I laughed heartily. The game was getting more and more exciting.

"Young Master, should I send ten Blue Silver Warriors to protect you?"

"No need. I'd like to meet him sometime. Oh, by the way, gather another hundred mid-level mages and two hundred Earth Knights for me, quickly."

"But we don't seem to have enough Earth Knights."

"Hmm, is that so? Then recruit a batch."

"Alright then." Mike fell into deep thought.

"Uncle Mike, is there anything else?"

"No, nothing else." Mike snapped out of his reverie.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Take care, Young Master." Mike clasped his hands in a fist salute.

When I returned to the gathering place, the meal was already coming to an end. Hoss let out a burp, patted his round belly, and collapsed onto the table, fast asleep. Rhine, having only drunk a few glasses of strong liquor, was completely drunk before even having a few bites of the good food. Only Ad slowly ate and drank, showing no signs of drunkenness.

"Uh, Yad, how come these two are drunk so quickly?"

"How should I know? They said their father and mother are very strict at home. They've never even seen alcohol, let alone tasted it. How could they not be drunk?"

Yad explained.

"Oh, is that so? My parents are so wise. I drank alcohol at the God and Demon Palace a long time ago." Only now did I realize how much my parents had taught me.

"God and Demon Palace?" Yad raised his glass in confusion.

"Uh, my parents often visit relatives, and the God and Demon Palace is a place they frequent. There's lots of fine wine there." I decided to keep up the lie.

"That's great! Becoming your brother means we can drink together more often." Yad said with a burp.

"Good, good, good!" I laughed and clinked glasses with Yad.

After a dozen or so drinks, Yad was completely drunk and barely recognizable. Seeing that Yad still wanted to drink, I quickly stopped him, woke up the other two sleepy drinkers, and the four of us, supporting each other, staggered back to the dormitory. Except for me, the other three lay down on their beds, still wearing their clothes and shoes, snoring away. I, on the other hand, lay quietly in bed, thinking about what Mike had said earlier that day.

After midnight, the dormitory was silent, and my eyelids began to grow heavy. Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound from the leaves outside the dormitory. Huh, there's no wind tonight, so why are the leaves moving? Maybe it's just a breeze in the middle of the night. Why am I being so paranoid? But just as I was about to drift off to sleep again, I heard footsteps outside the door, very light, so light that even a breeze could pass by. Someone's here. No wonder there was a noise earlier. I listened intently, and the footsteps grew closer and closer. It seemed that this guy was approaching the dormitory door.

"Who's there?" I shouted softly and flew out of the dormitory, but everything around me seemed to be silent, as if nothing had happened. Under the bright moonlight, I examined my surroundings thoroughly, but there wasn't a single ghost in sight. Had I gone deaf? But I clearly heard footsteps just now. No, something's wrong. I need to investigate again. Finally, in a dark corner, I found a flaw: a protruding wooden roof ridge. Normally, according to architectural principles, a roof ridge should have a beautiful, smooth, and natural line. But this protrusion seemed to break the line of the entire structure, so I was certain there was something strange about it. I secretly fired a wind arrow, but this person was so clever; before the arrow even reached me, the protrusion vanished.

"I never imagined Qiwan Magic and Martial Arts Academy was so full of hidden talents!" A voice rang in my ears, coming from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its source.

"Who are you? May I ask to come out and have a chat?" I called out, clasping my hands in a fist salute towards the southwest.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect this friend to find me so quickly. Not simple, not simple at all." A very rough voice came from the southwest, and then a person emerged from the darkness in the corner of the house. This person was burly, about 1.9 meters tall, with messy hair, thick, arched eyebrows, and a pair of large, bell-like eyes that flashed with a shrewd light. He had a full beard and looked like a rough and uncouth person. Moreover, he held a giant sword in each of his large, fan-like hands. The swords were about two meters long and half a meter wide, pointed at the top and narrow at the bottom, with sharp blades. His hands were covered with thick calluses. Needless to say, this person was skilled in using two-handed swords. It seemed that he was the sword saint sent by the Hain family to assassinate me. Looking at the wine gourd slung across his waist, he seemed to be a generous and forthright person. Let me test him.

"A guest is a guest, brother, here you go!" I took a bottle of century-old wine from my dimensional space and tossed it to the man.

The man uncorked it, and a clear, refreshing aroma filled the entire courtyard.

"Excellent wine, excellent wine! Strong yet not overpowering, fragrant yet not weak—truly worthy of a century-old vintage!" the man exclaimed.

"Meeting a kindred spirit in a foreign land, brother, I'll drink this first!" I took two wine cups from my dimensional space, handed one to the man, and filled the other to the brim, offering a toast before downing it in one gulp. Seeing my swift response, the man, not to be outdone, poured himself a cup and downed it in one as well. After we finished, we smiled at each other.

"Young brother, aren't you going to ask why I've come so late?" the man said with a smile after we finished drinking and laughing.

"Such a beautiful night, how could I bear to disturb it, brother, don't you think?" I looked up at the night sky and turned back to ask.

“Young brother, you jest. As the saying goes, ‘Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.’ You and I will eventually have a decisive battle,” the man said wistfully.

“Brother, you flatter me. How could a lowly person like me trouble the Sword Saint Alaska to come in person?” I chuckled.

“Young brother, I didn’t realize you were so well-informed!” Alaska said softly.

“Not at all, not at all. It is an honor for me that the Sword Saint has graced my humble abode.” I replied to him without a word.

“According to the unwritten rules of the assassin world: whoever pays the money can kill is none of the assassin’s business. Young brother, I’m sorry for offending you. You should only blame yourself for offending those high-ranking officials!” Alaska raised his twin swords, crossed them into a cross shape, and shouted, “Shadow Wing Slash, the ultimate technique of the Mad Saint!” Strands of cross-shaped sword energy burst forth from the greatswords in his hands, converging into a burning phoenix.

“Go!” Alaska roared, and the phoenix spread its four-meter-long wings and flew rapidly towards me. At the same time, I unleashed the first ultimate move of the Saint Seiya, "Saint Seiya: Phoenix Soars to the Nine Heavens," my entire body radiating platinum-gold battle aura. As I threw my punch, the battle aura, as if finding an outlet, transformed into a giant phoenix that cried out in the heavens. Almost simultaneously, the two phoenixes collided between us, unleashing a massive explosion. The aftershocks of the explosion pushed us both back two or three meters.

"That was exhilarating! That was a truly exhilarating battle, young brother. Oh, platinum battle aura! So you're the legendary Saint Seiya! A pleasure to meet you!" Alaska exclaimed in surprise. He wasn't very clear about the legendary Saint Seiya's fighting power, only knowing that the battle aura emanating from their bodies was platinum-gold.

"I dare not accept such praise!" I returned the greeting.

"Although you are a Saint Seiya, and possess the power to kill a Sword Saint with a single blow, I am willing to die for the mission," Alaska said with a death wish.

"Is this also the unwritten rule of your assassin world?" I mocked. As an assassin, knowing full well that the enemy he faced was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than himself, yet still charging forward with unwavering courage, I felt both admiration and pity for him.

"Perhaps," Alaska said with a wry smile. As one of the top assassins, he felt both pride and pain. He was proud of his achievements as an assassin, but even masters have their loneliness. As a top master, no one dared challenge his authority, yet this also meant he remained stuck at a bottleneck in his martial arts. The pain of a master was unparalleled.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let me show you the splendor of a Saint Seiya!" Alaska, filtering out his troubled thoughts, declared boldly, "Mad Saint's Ultimate Technique: Dragon's Roar Across the Nine Heavens!" A golden dragon soared into the sky, letting out a roar, spewing forth dragon breath as it lunged at me, baring its fangs and claws. I, the target, stood there dumbfounded, seemingly oblivious, about to be devoured by the dragon. Alaska closed his eyes in anguish. No one knew his ultimate move better than himself; even a Saint Seiya couldn't withstand his full-force attack. A tear slid down his cheek.

There was no expected roar, no expected screams. The surroundings were eerily silent, so silent that even the rustling of budding branches was clearly audible. Alaska, puzzled, couldn't resist his curiosity and opened his eyes. The instant he opened them, he witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life: I had crushed the dragon's head with a single finger, and the platinum aura erupting from my finger tore the dragon to shreds, causing it to vanish into nothingness. Many years later, when he, as one of the two divine generals under the Demon King, recalled the past, this scene often appeared in his mind. Perhaps it was this single finger that revived his proud heart; the person he had been waiting for had finally appeared before him. From then on, he would follow his new master, conquering the world and spending his life on the battlefield.

Alaska, filled with excitement and reverence, knelt before me. The moment I defeated the dragon with a single finger, I felt a surge of domineering power welling up within me, and I couldn't help but let out a triumphant roar. When I calmed myself down, I saw Sword Saint Alaska kneeling before me, his face filled with excitement. Before I could react, I was stunned and asked in surprise, "Brother Alaska, why are you bowing so deeply?"

"Reporting to my master, I am willing to follow you for life," Alaska replied respectfully.

"Master? When did I become your master?" I asked, puzzled.

“When you defeated my ultimate move with a single finger, I acknowledged you as my master,” Alaska explained.

I thought to myself, quite pleased with myself, that I had subdued one of the two great sword saints, Alaska, with just one finger. However, since I was going to do this for the rest of my life, I had to keep up the act. I asked hesitantly, “Aren’t you afraid your former master will kill you to silence you?”

“I don’t have a master.”

“What? You don’t have a master? Isn’t the leader of the Assassin’s Guild your master?” I asked, quite surprised.

“No. We were just employer and employee. I even swore an oath: if anyone ever defeated me, I would serve that person as my master. I told him that myself, so no one can stop me from following my master.”

“Then how will you show your loyalty?” I questioned. I didn’t want a spy constantly around me, especially a top-tier one.

“I’ll do whatever you want!” Alaska said decisively.

“What if I asked you to cut off your left arm?” I said half-jokingly. Before I could finish speaking, a flash of sword light slashed towards his left arm.

"Stop!" I blocked the sword's trajectory in time, but the sword energy was too powerful, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on his arm. It was clear how much force Alaska had used, as if the arm wasn't even his own. Only now did I truly believe in his loyalty.

"I believe you now." I ran my hand over his wound, and a flash of white light appeared. The wound on his left arm instantly healed completely, so perfectly that not a single scar could be seen.

"Thank you, Master," Alaska said excitedly. Now he believed he had found a true master, a master of unfathomable depth.

"Get up," I smiled calmly. "Tomorrow I'll take you somewhere."

"Yes, Master," Alaska said respectfully.

"Alright, don't call me Master anymore. From now on, call me Young Master."

"Yes, Young Master," Alaska quickly adapted to the new title.

"Alright, you can leave now. See you at the usual place tomorrow morning!" With that, I yawned, went back to bed, and fell into a deep sleep. Alaska, obediently, disappeared into the darkness.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Alaska's Past

One morning, as I groggily walked out of the dormitory, I suddenly noticed a figure standing beside me. Rubbing my eyes, I looked closer and realized it was Alaska. He was leaning against a pillar, his eyes closed, seemingly resting. I quietly approached Alaska, never expecting him to be so alert. Just a few steps closer, his

eyes snapped open, flashing with a sharp light. But upon seeing me, he relaxed his guard, his eyes returning to normal.

"Greetings, Young Master!" he said, about to kneel before me.

"No need for formalities. Your performance was acceptable; be more careful in the future." With that, I turned and walked towards the dormitory.

"Young Master, why was my performance acceptable?" he asked hastily. Indeed, daring to ask questions and find my weaknesses—I've actually found such a talent, hehe.

"Because you remained alert at the slightest sound, which is commendable, but when you saw me, you relaxed your guard, which is a loss.

Remember, always be vigilant, even in front of your superiors," I explained.

"Thank you for your instruction, Young Master!" Alaska said respectfully. Seeing his restrained expression, seemingly ordinary yet noticeably different from before, I knew my words had resonated with him, propelling him towards a higher level.

"Alright, last night I promised to take you somewhere, now I'll show you."

"Yes, young master."

Along the way, I inquired about various aspects of Alaska. When I asked him why he became an assassin, he recounted his poignant past: he was originally the Grand Marshal of the Mengke Empire, one of the four great empires of the Magic Martial Continent. Contrary to his appearance, he was not a brute but a shrewd and calculating politician. He became the Grand Marshal of the Mengke Empire at the young age of 20, a position that shocked the entire continent because the Mengke Empire revered military might. Becoming the unparalleled Grand Marshal at such a young age was enviable, and honor and fortune extended their olive branches to him. To retain such a talented individual, the empire bestowed upon him the most beautiful woman in the land, Princess Pandora. After their marriage, the couple lived in perfect harmony and boundless love. On the battlefield, he was invincible; no one could withstand his attacks. In their personal life, he and his wife enjoyed a harmonious and blissful existence, the envy of countless others. Just when he thought he could live such a life, he overheard a shocking secret: his beautiful wife, disgusted by his appearance, had been having an affair and was even plotting against him with her lover. Kind-hearted as he was, he couldn't bear to break up the marriage, only scolding his wife a few times without considering the consequences. He thought this would win her back and make her love him wholeheartedly, but little did he know that a conspiracy was about to unfold against him. Suddenly, one day, his lively and adorable two-year-old son died of a strange illness. This misfortune plunged him into deep despair. As he wallowed in wine and grew increasingly haggard, news broke of a mutiny within the army, the killing of three generals and countless casualties, all of whom were his own trusted confidants. By the time he realized it was all a conspiracy, it was too late. The empire abruptly ordered his removal from his post as Grand Marshal, demoting him to commoner status and banishing him from official service forever. Just as he was about to ask why, his confidants told him that it was all orchestrated by his beautiful wife, Pandora, and her lover, Lewis, the son of the Left Chancellor. He felt as if the sky were falling. He couldn't believe that his momentary indulgence had led to such a terrible mistake. As a mother, she had cruelly strangled her own child in its cradle—how ruthless, how vicious! He snapped out of his grief, and the idea of assassinating this wicked woman suddenly took hold. So, on a quiet night, just as he was about to succeed, her lover suddenly appeared before him. Enemies meeting again naturally ignite intense hatred, and he immediately engaged the adulterer in battle. Surprisingly, the self-proclaimed number one fighter in the empire only managed a draw with the adulterer, demonstrating the latter's deep-seated cunning. Adding to the turmoil, a treacherous assassin attacked from the sidelines, and he was unable to withstand the onslaught, forced to flee in panic. During his escape, he was constantly pursued by the adulterer, ultimately forced to become an assassin.

"Alaska, what was your real name before?" I asked curiously.

"Osga Arno," Alaska replied.

"Osga Arno, a fine name!" I praised, then said seriously, "Don't you want revenge?" "Of course

I do! I think about revenge every single moment. I want to kill that adulterous couple, I want to tear them to pieces. But their defenses are so tight,

I can't bring myself to do it," Alaska said through gritted teeth, then looked dejected.

"If I gave you a chance to assassinate them, but it was a bit difficult, would you go?"

"Yes, as long as I can kill them, I'll go through fire and water for you, I won't hesitate," Alaska said confidently.

"Good, you're a true man," I said, patting him on the shoulder. "That day won't be far off."

Before we knew it, Alaska and I had arrived at the Dream Restaurant. A waiter had already informed Mike, who quickly ushered us into the secret room.

"Young Master, who is this?" Mike asked, giving me a knowing look.

"Oh, this is your future partner, the Mad Saint Alaska," I introduced briefly. "Come, Arno, meet your new partner, Mike." "I 've heard so much about you

, I never imagined that one of the two great sword saints, the Mad Saint, would be so young. You're truly remarkable," Mike said, clasping his hands in praise. "

I didn't expect you to be the Uncle Mike that Young Master spoke of," Alaska returned the greeting.

"You flatter me, you flatter me," Mike said humbly. "

A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you." The hands of the two who would become the pillars of the future Three Realms made their first intimate contact—a handshake. During the handshake, the two began to compete. At first, it was just a test, but as they competed, they unleashed their true skills. One-tenth, two-tenths, eight-tenths—the two seemed evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand. Despite this, the two men fought back with all their might, their foreheads beaded with sweat and their faces flushed, like drunken men. Seeing the situation was turning against me, I subtly used my strength to separate them.

"What are you two doing? Competing against each other on your very first meeting! This is unbecoming!" I shouted angrily.

"Young Master, I just hit it off with Mad Saint at first sight, so..." Mike said with a forced smile.

"Yes, yes," Alaska quickly nodded in agreement.

"Never do this again, understand? Remember, you two are partners from now on. Don't think about anything else!" I said sternly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" they both replied in unison.

"Uncle Mike, how are the men I asked you to prepare? Are they all in place?" I asked Mike.

"Reporting to Young Master, this old servant has gathered all the men you need. Please follow me." Mike lightly pressed a small protrusion on the wall with his left hand. A door instantly appeared in the previously smooth wall. Passing through the door, Mike led us into an unfamiliar hall. This hall, which could hold five or six hundred people, already had about three hundred people waiting.

"Young Master, these one hundred are the intermediate-level mages you requested," Mike said, pointing to a group of people dressed in magic robes.

"Greetings, Young Master."

"This group over here are the two hundred Earth Knights you requested," Mike said, pointing to another group of about two hundred people dressed in knightly attire.

"Greetings, Young Master."

"No need for formalities," I said calmly. The three hundred people stood up in perfect unison.

"This is my first time meeting you all today. Since it's a chance encounter, as your host, I'll give you a small gift." I took out three bottles of Power-Enhancing Pills from my dimensional space, gave one to each person, and then smiled, saying, "The little pills you hold are called Power-Enhancing Pills. I believe Uncle Mike and the others have already told you. Taking this pill will increase your power by several decades, elevating you to the Bronze Warrior level. Remember, after taking it, you must sit down, calm your mind, and digest its energy to solidify your foundation."

"Hurry up and thank your young master!" Mike said authoritatively from the side.

"Alright, let's begin." As soon as I finished speaking, all three hundred people simultaneously put the pills into their mouths, focused their energy in their dantian, and sat down to absorb the essence of the pills.

One hour, two hours, four hours passed. Suddenly, the hall was filled with radiant light, hundreds of bronze-colored battle qi filled the entire hall, interspersed with dozens of azure battle qi. Everyone was excited and kowtowed to express their deep gratitude. I gestured to stop them, then shouted at them with a powerful voice, "Are you willing to follow me in battles across the north and south?"

"We are willing to follow our young master!" the crowd roared, their voices thunderous, nearly shattering the soundproof glass in the hall.

"Since you are willing, will you obey my orders?" I called again.

"Yes, sir!" the crowd answered in unison.

"Good! Shaka, Fane, Vent, step forward!" Three people stepped out from the crowd, one in a mage's robe, the other two in knight's attire. "Now, I appoint Shaka as the squad leader of the mage squad, and Fane and Vent as squad leaders of the hundred-man knight squad."

"Thank you, young master!" The three knelt on the ground, thanking me for my promotion.

"Alright, now I order one hundred mages to stand by. As for the other two hundred Earth Knights, I'd like to introduce you to an instructor." I paused, then called out, "He is none other than the Mad Saint Alaska, one of the two great sword saints. Let's all give him a round of applause!" A round of applause erupted in the hall, with many chanting "Mad Saint! Mad Saint!"

"I'm very happy to stand here and speak to you all. Here, I'm very grateful to the young master for promoting me and allowing me to train you, the elite of society. I was once a dignified soldier, but my country abandoned me in a time of crisis, even sending people to hunt me down. I was once lost and desperate, and I chose to become a cold-blooded killer. When I was at my lowest point, it was the young master who awakened me with his passionate heart. I have no way to repay him. Today, I am fortunate to be your instructor. I will use all my talents to train you into the elite of the elite. I will be proud to be your instructor. Thank you all." Alaska, overwhelmed with emotion and tears welling in his eyes, spoke amidst the crowd's enthusiasm. These words seemed to resonate with the crowd, many of whom had served in the military, suffered hardship, and been betrayed by their country. They all chanted Alaska's name. It seemed Alaska was quite popular; no wonder

he was the former Grand Marshal of the Empire, having captured everyone's hearts from the very beginning.

"Quiet, quiet!" My voice, imbued with inner strength, echoed throughout the hall, and it fell silent instantly. I deliberately coughed a few times, cleared my throat, and said, "Now I order all two hundred of you to obey Alaska's orders and enter the training phase. Come, Alaska, I'll give you something to use during your training." When Alaska came to me, I took out a pagoda-like object from my dimensional space and handed it to him, saying, "Arno, this is a divine artifact I'm giving you—the Tower of Reversal Time. One year inside this tower is equivalent to one day outside, which will be very useful for your training. In addition, not only are there many ferocious magical beasts imprisoned here, but also many lost magic books and martial arts manuals. I hope you will gain something from your training inside. The other one hundred mages will arrive soon. Remember, remember."

"Your subordinate will certainly not fail your trust, young master," Alaska said excitedly. "Let's go, brothers, follow me to make a name for ourselves!"

As the incantation sounded, a door suddenly appeared in the center of the hall. Alaska stepped through the door first, followed by the two hundred Earth Knights one after another. Once no one had gone in, the gate abruptly disappeared. I entrusted the pagoda to Mike's management, telling him that it would open naturally when they succeeded. After handling these matters, I gathered the hundred mages and gave each of them a magic bead formed from my own magic, instructing them to absorb the magic power within.

I believed that it wouldn't be long before I had a hundred mages. After everything was settled, I left the restaurant, pale-faced, and returned to my dormitory. I collapsed onto my bed, exhausted, and fell asleep until the afternoon when my lost magic power was restored.
