"Who are you……?"
Alan used telepathy to ask the mysterious person who transmitted the message.
"You and I are the same kind of people, coming to this ugly world with the same mission."
"It's not safe here. I'll find you when the time is right."
After saying two incomprehensible words, the mysterious voice disappeared.
A new cloud of doubt and confusion appeared in Alan's mind.
This trip to Origin City might be more complicated than expected.
I wonder what all these monsters and demons are planning in secret!
"Junior Brother Allen, what you just said hit the nail on the head."
Tanya didn't notice Alan's change of attitude and continued talking about the girl with the umbrella.
"Nora has been acting strange since she was a child. She always hides in dark corners like a ghost and is called 'ghost girl' behind her back."
"She is Nora Ganesar, Marvin's sister?" Alan asked.
Tanya nodded and sighed.
"Her brother and father both died in the mushroom garden, leaving her all alone, living under someone else's roof. How pitiful."
"If she is Nora, considering her seclusion in the secret realm, she should be a girl in her twenties. Why does she still look like a little girl?" Alan asked in surprise.
"Haha, listening to you guys guessing here makes me want to laugh!"
The beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, a sneer on her lips.
"Pamela, what are you doing?!" Tanya's face darkened.
"Hey? Madam Vice President, why are you angry?"
Pamela smiled.
"I'm married, and I won't steal your man. Why are you so nervous?"
"I just simply don't like you!" Tanya said coldly, "I especially hate your arrogant face. You always mock and ridicule others, as if you are so great!"
"Haha... Madam Vice Dean, I wanted to get along well with you and make friends with you, but since you don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for being sorry!"
"Pamela, what's your plan?" Tanya asked warily.
"Hehe... You don't know. For things like this, since ancient times, the victim is always the last one to know."
Tanya vaguely saw a hint of viciousness and obscenity in the smile of this young lady, and she couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart!
Subconsciously, he grabbed Alan's hand and held it tightly.
Alan held hands with his senior sister, trying to give her some comfort.
However, she felt choked up at the thought that Pamela might force her to have an affair with her again and defile her chastity.
"Junior Brother Allen, why are you looking at me angrily?"
Pamela's smile is still as wild as ever.
"Are you not happy to see me?"
"Give me a smile and I'll tell you Nora's secret."
"You won't even smile? Humph! How stingy!"
"...Really not smiling? How about I smile for you?"
Alan couldn't hold it any longer.
I was made to laugh and cry by this female bully, but I guess I could barely laugh.
Pamela tilted her head and looked at him, seeming very satisfied with her own prank.
Compared with her previous sarcastic smile, her smile at this moment was more sincere, like the bright sunshine.
"This little girl Nora did something very scary some time ago. Have you heard about it?" Pamela asked.
"I heard that she killed the Bat King of the Beast Cult and proclaimed herself the 'Bat Queen'. The elders of the Bat Cult were angry but dared not speak out."
Spanna mentioned this matter in her letter to Allen.
"The lawsuit was later brought to Spider Queen Caroline, but Caroline didn't do anything to Nora and acquiesced to her taking the position."
"Nora easily killed the fifth-stage late-stage Bat King, and the Spider Queen had to give her three points. It can be seen that her strength is at least the sixth-stage late-stage. I really don't know how she trained so well."
Pamela couldn't help but admire Nora's outstanding talent and rapid progress!
"Compared to her, her brother and her father are trash!"
“Pamela! Nora is so strong now, aren’t you afraid?”
Tanya was upset about Pamela's rude attitude and was looking for an opportunity to provoke her.
"Marvin died in your hands. Aren't you afraid that Nora will seek revenge on you?"
“Haha…believe it or not, if Marvin died, Nora might be happier than me.” Pamela said lightly.
"Are you kidding, Nora..."
Alan hesitated to speak.
"I know she had a child, but she miscarried."
Pamela smiled oddly.
"But there are still many inside stories that you don't know."
"When Nora had a difficult birth, the former Bat King set up an altar at the request of her father and her brother, offering sacrifices to the god of death Charon and performing a divine ritual to predict whether she would be able to give birth smoothly."
"Charon sent down divine revelation and told Ganesha and his son that Nora and the baby girl in her belly could not have both mother and daughter."
"If you want to save Nora, you must abort the fetus in advance."
“On the contrary, if you are willing to sacrifice Nora and transfer the mother’s blood essence to the fetus, the fetus can be born smoothly and will grow into a peerless genius in the future!”
"Guess what Ganesha and his son will choose?"
"Haha, that's right! The father and son decided to save the younger one instead of the older one."
"Wait a minute!" Tanya couldn't help but interrupt, "If that's the case, how come Nora is still alive, but the fetus was miscarried?"
“It was an accident.”
Pamela's voice was vague, as if she was telling a ghost story.
"Nora's grandmother was bitten by a vampire while she was pregnant, and was cremated shortly after giving birth to her mother."
"Nora has dark blood flowing in her body. At the moment of being sacrificed, her vampire bloodline was activated and she came back to life."
"Because of this coincidence, Nora transformed into a 'half-vampire' and has remained young ever since."
"She failed to serve as a sacrifice, so the god of death's scythe reaped the fetus in her belly, which ultimately led to the failure of the sacrificial ritual and the birth of a dead baby."
"What did Nora think when she found out that she was almost sacrificed by her father and brother?"
"Alan, do you think she hates you and me, or does she hate dad and brother more?" Pamela smiled, "It's hard to say!"
"There is one more thing. Guess why Nora wanted to kill the Bat King who was the one who divined for Ganesha and his son?"
Alan said nothing.
Thinking back to Nora's empty and numb eyes, a trace of pity arose in my heart.
"These private matters about Nora...even if they are true, I have never heard of them. How did you know?"
Tanya looked at Pamela in confusion.
"I spent a lot of money to get this information!"
A malicious smile appeared on Pamela's face again.
"Really want to know? Let Alan sleep with me until the trial is over, and I will tell you where this information came from."
Tanya's face suddenly turned red, she couldn't bear it anymore!
"Pamela, you are shameless! So disgusting!!"
"Haha! You can't bear this? You'll have to suffer in the future!"
Alan frowned and was about to warn Pamela not to go too far, but she turned and walked away.
The golden hair is like the summer sun, bright and dazzling.
……
Not long after, everyone from the South Island Warlock Academy was teleported over in two groups.
The first three people to arrive were from the Demons family.
In addition to Helen and Burke, there was also a red-haired young man whom Alan had never seen before.
He is tall and mighty, with a rough face and thick body hair, looking like an uncivilized barbarian.
"This is Bagula, my cousin!" Burke introduced the red-haired young man to Allen. "Ape Demon bloodline, early fifth stage."
When it comes to ape demons, Alan is no stranger to them.
No wonder Bagula looks so... wild, just like a gorilla.
Bagula had heard Burke and Herent talk about Allen.
The two men praised the young man highly, but he was not quite convinced!
Especially when I heard that Allen brought a female sorceress and broke into the sacred blood pool of the Demons family and killed the fourth elder and his son in public.
Afterwards, the family elders not only did not hold him accountable, but instead took the initiative to turn the enemy into a friend!
Bagula usually looks down on the fourth elder and his son.
However, they are family members after all. When someone comes to their house to beat and kill them, the clan leader still has to smile at the murderer. Where is the family dignity? !
Bagula was feeling angry.
When I saw Alan, I found that he was very tall and muscular, and was even half a head taller than me.
I feel even more unhappy!
So, taking the opportunity of greeting and shaking hands, he secretly made an effort to teach this big guy a lesson.
Let him know that being taller does not necessarily mean being stronger!
Alan realized Bagula's intention, sneered secretly, and slowly exerted his strength.
Two muscular young men, hands clenched tightly, the air full of tension!
Bagula's expression gradually became stiff.
He had already used all his strength, but Alan hadn't begged for mercy yet.
Instead, it was he himself whose fingers were pinched so hard that they ached.
At this time, Allen only used 70% of his strength.
Based on the changes in Bagula's expression , it is estimated that this person's physical attributes should be around 36 points.
To be fair, not bad!
But compared to him, there is still a long way to go.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Bagula finally couldn't hold it anymore.
He roared suddenly, his muscles swelled up and burst his shirt!
Right in front of Alan, he activated the fifth level of atavism and transformed into ape demon form.
Alan smiled faintly and ignored it.
The strength in his hands increased by another two points.
Back to the ancestral Bagula, double the size!
Alan on the opposite side looked like a child in comparison.
The ape demon returns to his ancestral form, with his physique increased by 10 points!
Even so, the giant hairy palm still couldn't suppress Alan in human form.
As Allen continued to exert force, Bagula finally couldn't help but scream in pain, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Everyone felt both funny and horrified when they saw this huge, ferocious demon being tortured to tears by Alan's single hand.
Helen couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and tried to dissuade him softly.
"Brother Allen! Bagula was just joking with you, don't take it seriously!"
Alan smiled and let go.
Bagula retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and his entire right hand was swollen.
"Brother Bagula, I'm sorry. I will be more careful next time."
next time?!
Bagula looked at him in horror and shook his head repeatedly, as if the tall and handsome young man opposite him was the real devil.
"No, no, no! There will definitely not be a next time!"
He dared not provoke this monster with infinite power again!
"Brother Alan, what bloodline are you from? You are even stronger than Bagula and you can make him cry with just one hand. I can't even imagine such a thing!" Burke asked curiously.
"Magic Leopard Wizard." Alan answered with reservation.
"Uh... Magic Leopard Wizard?"
Burke and Bagula looked at each other in confusion.
"The mixed blood of leopard man and ogre wizard."
Heron explained in due time.
"Junior brother Alan is gifted. He first awakened the blood of the Ogre, then merged with the Leopard Man, and only later awakened the blood of the Ogre Wizard."
"The three blood awakenings finally merged into one, and it became the Magic Leopard Wizard!"
"Three awakenings, and they can still merge?! Hiss——"
Burke couldn't help but gasp.
"I have only heard of this kind of thing in those mythological stories that describe the great achievements of the ancestors of warlocks. I have never heard of it in reality... Brother Allen, you are truly a peerless genius!"
Bagula nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The look he showed towards Alan changed from initial resentment to full of admiration.
Alan could see that Bagula was a typical "smart guy" who wished his brain was covered with muscles.
This kind of person has no brains and only believes in power.
As long as you overwhelm him with strength, he will be convinced and do whatever you tell him to do.
The magical power was surging in the square again.
Burke glanced over there and said to Alan, "The trialists from the five major dragon vein families are here. Brother Alan, do you recognize them?"
"I only recognize Aslan from the Blue Dragon Family. Brother Burke, please introduce the others to me."
Burke nodded and whispered, "Aslan is a top talent in the Dragon Vein School. He is not even thirty years old yet, but his cultivation has reached the late fifth stage!"
"Next is Cohen from the Green Dragon Family. His cultivation is also at the late fifth stage, but he is already thirty-eight years old. His potential cannot be compared to Yaslan. He is probably at the same level as me."
"Dudar from the Black Dragon Family, thirty-four years old, early fifth stage."
"Penny from the White Dragon Family, 28 years old, late fourth stage."
"Two people from the Red Dragon Family have been selected for the trial."
"Lida, 27 years old, late fourth stage."
"There is also Cliff, the youngest vice president of North Island College, who is thirty-seven years old and was promoted to the late fifth stage half a year ago."
"Vice Dean Cliff has already married and has children, but..." Helen added a piece of gossip, "I heard that Cliff and Lida are having an extramarital affair in private!"
Being keen on prying into other people's privacy is a common bad trait among human beings, and Allen is no exception.
After hearing what Helen said, he looked at Lydia curiously. She was indeed a red-haired beauty with a charming figure.
There was a man in a cloak beside her, with his arm around her slender waist, looking very intimate.
The married dean hugged and kissed his students in public, not caring about other people's opinions. He was really unscrupulous.
Alan complained secretly.
"Huh? Weird..." Burke suddenly frowned, looking surprised, "The man next to Lida doesn't look like Cliff."
"That's exactly what I said!"
Helen also noticed something was wrong.
"Dean Cliff is a short and fat man, and that man is tall and thin. The difference in their body shapes is too big."
There were many people at the scene who knew Cliff. They also noticed something was wrong and began to whisper to each other and cast suspicious glances.
Lida was the focus of everyone's attention, her beautiful face twitched slightly, and she looked a little unnatural.
The tall and thin man next to her had his cloak hood pulled down low, and his entire face was shrouded in shadow, so it was difficult to see clearly.
Just as everyone was whispering, the cloaked man suddenly turned around and walked straight towards where Alan and the others were.
Not until he was within ten steps did he stop, slowly took off his cloak, revealing a face with gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
This is a slightly old, but still handsome face, estimated to be in his forties.
Alan looked at the middle-aged man and felt vaguely familiar with him.
What was even stranger was the way the other person looked at him...
Revealing deep hatred!
Alan couldn't remember when he had offended this person.
Maybe he had offended his relatives, friends or students.
During the war between the North and the South, more than one or two dragon vein sorcerers died at his hands, so it was not surprising that he inadvertently formed a feud with them.
The middle-aged man looked away from Alan and searched the crowd.
It finally landed on Renee's face and became extremely complicated.
Renee didn't even notice that anyone was looking at her, as she was happily chatting with Kelly, Angie, and Sonia.
It was An Qi who first noticed that the atmosphere was not right and reminded the heartless Hu Niu.
"Sister Renee, someone over there has been watching you."
"Oh? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Renee wiped her face with a handkerchief and turned to glance at the middle-aged man in the red cloak.
I felt vaguely that he looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where he was for a moment. So I didn't bother to think about it anymore and went back to chatting with my sisters.
The red-robed man was irritated by her careless look and snorted heavily.
"Leni! What, you don't recognize me?"
Renee turned back again and looked at him blankly.
"Excuse me, uncle, who are you?"
"You——" the red-robed man was furious, "Bitch! You can't even recognize your own fiancé, you are so stupid!"
"What fiancé? You have got to be kidding me."
Hu Niu laughed loudly, ran to Alan and put her arm around his.
"Uncle! I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend. You might have the wrong person!"
"Bah! Bitch, you are still acting crazy and stupid even now!"
The middle-aged man in red robe saw her publicly declare Allen as her master, and his eyes revealed resentful jealousy.
"You two adulterers, you never thought that I, Phoebus, would end up like this, did you?"
"Phoebus..." Allen frowned. "Reni, there was a heartless man in your family. What was his name?"
"Oh! Phoebus, I remember now!"
Renee patted her forehead, a look of realization on her face.
"I almost forgot that I had an ex-boyfriend."
"Phoebus, we haven't seen each other for a few years . Why do you look twenty years older?"
"Haha! I have my own adventures. If you want to know, just come back to me."
"Forget it. I'm just asking casually. I'm not really interested." Leni smiled nonchalantly.
"you--!"
Phoebus was so angry at her that veins popped up on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth, sneered and boasted: "Leni, I am no longer the same as before, my cultivation has reached the early stage of the sixth level!"
"Oh, that's great! I've long said that you have great talent. If you spend all that time trying to deceive women on practicing, you will definitely have a bright future."
Renee said with relief.
"Since you are so successful, I guess you have no shortage of female confidantes around you?"
"That Lida, is that the new girlfriend you mentioned when you wrote to me to break up with me?"
"I remember that she was later spotted by an old man named Cliff, and she abandoned you and threw herself into Cliff's arms."
"After not seeing each other for a few years, have you two reconciled?"
"Phoebus, you are not young anymore. Don't be fickle like you used to be. Don't try to get promoted by currying favor with women all day long."
"You can't live off others for life. A man still needs to rely on his real ability to build a family and a career."
"When will you and Lydia get married?"
"We are friends after all, I will just contribute money, but I won't go to the banquet!"
"Live a good life in the future, I wish you happiness!"
After chattering on for a while, Renee lost interest in Phoebus. She turned around, took Kelly's hand, and continued the topic that had been interrupted.
"Where were we talking about? Oh! Marshmallows! I'm telling you, marshmallows taste better when they're roasted..."
Lida's face turned blue and red, and she was very embarrassed.
Phoebus was so angry that he almost exploded!
Three years ago, Phoebus, who claimed to be a genius, was defeated by Allen and was still brooding over it.
In order to take revenge on Alan and Renee, he returned to North Island College, disregarded his dignity, and knelt down to lick his ex-girlfriend Lida, striving for the opportunity to enter the secret realm for practice.
When Lydia's lover Cliff learned about this, he became murderous.
On the surface, Phoebus was given a chance to enter the secret realm, but in fact, a trap was set up secretly!
Everything in the world has a lifespan.
The secret realm is no exception!
Phoebus is tricked into entering a secret time realm at the end of a life cycle.
The core of the secret realm, the Time Orb, is severely aged and unable to maintain a stable time rhythm.
With the Time Law Orb as the center, the flow of time within a ten-mile radius is extremely chaotic, like a whirlpool.
If you spend one day in the time vortex, it is possible that only two days have passed in the outside world, or it is possible that ten days have passed.
The rhythm of time fluctuates randomly and cannot be predicted.
What's even more terrible is that once you are trapped in the vortex of time, you will not be able to escape unless the Time Law Orb completely collapses.
Not long after Phoebus entered the secret realm, he was ambushed by Cliff.
He was seriously injured, struggled to escape, and finally fell into the vortex of time.
It is almost impossible for mortals to survive for long in the vortex of time.
Cliff thought he was dead and turned to leave.
Little did they know that Phoebus survived the disaster!
Relying on wild fruits to fill hunger and dew to quench thirst, he struggled to survive in the vortex of time, and at the same time did not forget to practice!
He spent a long and difficult period of time in the vortex of time.
Finally, he managed to escape when the Time Law Orb collapsed.
At this time, only more than three years had passed in the outside world.
And Phoebus has been suffering in the vortex of time for twenty-three years!
He was only 20 years old when he went in, and 43 years old when he came out, which means he was in middle age.
The harsh living environment and long-term mental stress have left his temples gray and made him look older than his actual age.
However, Phoebus also gained rewards in his suffering!
After escaping death on all fronts and practicing hard in seclusion for twenty-three years, he was finally promoted to the sixth level!
After getting out of prison, Phoebus immediately launched a bloody revenge!
He killed Cliff with his own hands and took back his ex-girlfriend Lida.
He forced the Red Dragon Family to accept him, specially appointed him as an elder, and also obtained the qualification to participate in the Origin City Trial.
Be proud and avenge previous shame!
At the peak of his life, he came to Origin City and met his first love, Renee, again.
I decided to slap her in the face and make her regret like Lydia for missing out on this potential stock.
Phoebus had even figured it out.
After being shocked by his strength, Renee changed her ways and begged for a reunion. It's not impossible for me to give her a chance to start over.
Lida and Renee, two ex-girlfriends returned to his arms.
It took Phoebus, who was already in his forties, to convince himself that the years of hard training in the secret realm were not in vain!
It was all worth it!
However, Renee's attitude was far beyond his expectations.
Unlike Lydia, who was arrogant at first but respectful later, Renee didn't seem to care at all whether her ex-boyfriend became successful or not.
Seeing that Phoebus's cultivation had greatly improved, she was able to cheerfully offer her blessings.
She turned around and left him aside, continuing to chat about trivial matters with her best friends.
It's as if roasting a mere marshmallow is more worthy of attention than the strong rise of Phoebus!
Are they really open-minded or are they just pretending? !
Phoebus's self-esteem could not accept the former possibility.
I could only convince myself that Renee already regretted breaking up with him in her heart, but she just pretended to be indifferent on the surface.
"Leni! Since you refuse to face reality, I have no choice but to tear off your disguise myself!"
"Look carefully, how powerful I am now!"
