chapter 36 Breakthroughs one after another

“Odell, how's your cultivation been these days?" Cora smiled at the newcomer. Odell grinned sinisterly, "Mother, rest assured, I have already reached the peak of the later stage of the Human level. I'm just one step away from the Earth level. Dealing with Garfield is completely within my capability. I can defeat him with just one move." Cora's face showed a hint of relief as she praised, "Good, Odell, but you must not focus solely on Garfield. I hope you can learn from your elder brother and become the top genius in the capital." "Mother, you always want me to learn from my elder brother. What kind of talent does he have? How can I compare to him?" Odell said gloomily. His elder brother, Adrian, was the number one genius of the Quickley family and also Cora's pride. Adrian had shown astonishing talent since childhood. Several years ago, he had already broken through to the Earth level, followed the Prince Caspian to the battlefield, and had made significant achievements. He was now the top captain in the army, just one step away from becoming a general. Odell could be said to have lived in the shadow of his elder brother since childhood. Fortunately, he always had Garfield to make him look good. "Hehe, my dear little brother, you better pray that you don't awaken your bloodline tomorrow." Thinking about the academy's major exam tomorrow, Odell's lips curled slightly, revealing a sinister smirk on his face. At the Wayne house! A group of senior-class students from Skybert Academy gathered here, all of them being children of nobility from the official and aristocratic families of the capital. "Congratulations, Young Marquis, on breaking through to the Earth level. Tomorrow, you will graduate from Skybert Academy and follow the Marquis of Wayne entering the court, battling on the battlefield, and rising to become a Marquis or Prince. It's just a matter of time." In the courtyard, this group of noble children surrounded a fair, gentle-looking young man, showering him with compliments. "Hehe." The gentle young man, dressed in a luxurious robe and lion-patterned boots, held a paper fan despite the winter season, exuding elegance, "I appreciate your kind words." "Young Marquis, don't forget us when you rise to greatness in the future." "Yes, yes!" "Young Marquis is only seventeen years old and is already an Earth-level strong one. In the entire capital, how many noble children can compare to Young Marquis?" The group of people flattered him skillfully. Among the crowd, Hadar's face darkened as he looked displeased at the gentle young man. He and Jacy were both disciples of noble families, with a good relationship on the surface but secretly competing with each other. Jacy had broken through to the Earth level, while he was still struggling at the peak of the later stage of the Human level. Not only had his cultivation not progressed in these days, but he had also regressed slightly. He had a vague feeling that the reason for his current state was closely related to the kick Garfield had given him in the elixir field. He had consulted some doctors and pharmacists, but they all said there was nothing wrong with him, which made him increasingly resentful towards Garfield. "Jacy!" After the surrounding people dispersed, Hadar immediately approached. "Oh? Hadar!" Jacy smiled faintly, lightly tapping his palms with the fan, looking at Hadar with a somewhat superior expression in his eyes and a hint of a smirk on his lips, "This time, I broke through to the Earth level first. Hadar, you must work hard and not slack off. I'm looking forward to sparring with you after you break through." "Rest assured, Jacy, I won't keep you waiting for long!" Hadar said proudly, suppressing his displeasure, then changed the subject, "I came here today to ask for a favor!" "Oh?" "At tomorrow's academy exam, I hope Jacy can help me teach someone a lesson." Hadar gritted his teeth. "Who?" Jacy looked surprised. Hadar was not someone who usually asked for help, and why would he need help to deal with someone? "Garfield!" Hadar narrowed his eyes and said with hatred in his gaze. "Which Garfield?" Jacy frowned. "Who else? The one you know." "Him?" Jacy was taken aback. Garfield's reputation was significant, not only as the illegitimate child of the Quickley family with the title of the Military God but also as the first student in the history of Skybert Academy who might be expelled due to the inability to awaken his bloodline. Therefore, although Garfield was only a junior class student, Jacy had heard of him. But why would Hadar be unable to handle such a person on his own? Under Jacy's suspicious gaze, Hadar seemed to understand the doubts in the other's mind and gritted his teeth, saying, "This person is not as simple as you think." "Oh? Tell me more," Jacy became interested. Hadar explained the whole story, and the excitement on Jacy's face grew stronger. He glanced at Hadar with disdain, seemingly scornful of him being defeated by a waste, and said casually, "Heh, interesting. I agree." Since he had already reached the Earth level, he would graduate from Skybert Academy after the final exam, and no one would be able to control him when he taught Garfield a lesson. In the martial arts field of Keighley House. "The sky is filled with stars!" Lydia held a Starlight Sword and thrust it out. Countless stars seemed to appear in the sky, shimmering densely and irresistibly. Clang! Clang! The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed as three guards kept retreating, stopping only after nearly ten steps. Several torn sword marks appeared on their chest, reaching the inner armor. "Princess's cultivation is outstanding, we are ashamed in comparison," the guards sighed with lowered swords. Clap! Clap! Lord Keighley, Zachary, stood aside, clapping his hands with a smile on his face. He expressed his gratitude to Master Yanto, who was standing beside him, "Thank you, Master Yanto, for teaching my daughter. Her cultivation has made remarkable progress in just one month, breaking through the Earth level and graduating from Skybert Academy tomorrow." Yanto replied calmly, "Lord Keighley, you are too kind. It's all because the princess has extraordinary talent, awakening as a third-grade bloodline with an orange-tier spiritual power talent. That's why practicing my spiritual secret method has led to such rapid progress in breaking through the Earth level within a month." Lord Keighley smiled, "In any case, it's all thanks to your guidance, Master. After my daughter graduates from Skybert Academy, I hope she can continue learning from you and become a true weapon master as soon as possible." Yanto said, "I aimed for her to break through the Earth level and graduate from Skybert Academy as soon as possible, so I have this intention." "Haha," Lord Keighley laughed, "Tomorrow is the annual final exam at Skybert Academy. I wonder if Master Yanto is interested in watching my daughter's exam?" Suddenly, an extraordinary figure came to Yanto's mind, and he said, "It's a must." Yanto and Lord Keighley left the martial arts field, while Lydia continued her cultivation.
