At that moment, Sheron Perri, standing beside Logan, looked ahead at the difficult path they were treading and couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness. Nonetheless, he mustered his strength and said, “It seems I have reached my limit, and I can go no further. However, Logan, do not worry about us. You may continue on your journey to explore the unknown. As for us, this is an opportune moment to temper ourselves and strengthen our abilities!” Perri’s words betrayed an unyielding spirit and tenacity. Hearing this, Logan turned and glanced at Perri’s tired yet resolute face, nodding slightly. He well knew that everyone had different limits and capacities for endurance. Perri and the others had given their all; there was no need for more words, only a gentle reminder from Logan, “Be mindful of your own strength and do not force yourselves; I will wait for you ahead.” Logan’s words, though brief, were filled with warmth and encouragement, which kindled a warm current in the hearts of Perri and the others, bolstering their resolve to carry on.

“Flood Dragon, oh Flood Dragon, to think you would dare appear before me in such a weakened state. Have you grown tired of living? You are but an insignificant division of my power in the ocean of strength; I need only snap my fingers to turn you into ash, condemning you never to rise again for all eternity.” Louis’s words carried an undeniable threat; each syllable was like a sharp blade, cutting through the air and sending chills down one’s spine. However, faced with Louis’s blatant provocation, the Flood Dragon showed not the slightest fear. Rather, its profound eyes shone with a playful glint, as if scrutinizing the changes in Louis’s heart.

Then, the Flood Dragon slowly took out an exquisitely crafted scroll from its bosom and gently unfurled it, revealing the portrait of a young man on the paper–it was none other than Logan. The Flood Dragon’s gaze flitted between Louis and the portrait, as if searching for some secret, “Tell me, what is your relation with this person? I can faintly sense that the scars on your body are intricately linked to him.”

Louis’s eyes fixed on the portrait, and in that instant, it was as if they had been set ablaze, with flames of hatred burning fiercely in his heart–a hatred so intense it nearly consumed him. It was because of him, solely because of him, that Louis had fallen to such depths! Louis’s fists clenched involuntarily, knuckles whitening with the grip. But he soon realized his lapse and quickly reined in his emotions, regaining his usual composure and indifference.

With a dismissive glance at the Flood Dragon, he wore a faint, undetectable sneer and spoke with a touch of carelessness, “Oh, you seem quite interested in my past, don’t you? But what of it? Does a mere Flood Dragon deserve to know my secrets? As for that person… hmph, should the day come when I find him, he will undoubtedly pay the price for his actions, and that will be the most grievous mistake of his life.” Louis’s words were calm, yet they conveyed an unquestionable finality that made one shiver.

Elder Talon Skyler’s gaze was sharp as a hawk’s, locked tightly on the man before him, his eyes betraying a mix of disappointment and anger that was hard to conceal. After much contemplation and verification, he became more convinced than ever that all the man had previously claimed were lies. The so-called “ancient treasure” he had handed over was nothing more than a mundane item, lacking any hint of the divine.

“Hmph, that so-called ancient treasure you presented to me is nothing more than a common trinket, intended to deceive me. You truly underestimated my perception, didn’t you?” Elder Talon Skyler’s voice carried accusation and mockery, every word slicing through the air like a sharp blade, cutting away at the man’s facade of falsehood.

Hearing this, the man wore a playful smile on his lips, calmly meeting Elder Talon Skyler’s gaze with no hint of panic or guilt. To him, this was nothing more than the naivety of Elder Talon Skyler, who had been too trusting of others’ words, and what had that to do with him?

“Elder Talon Skyler, I have already fulfilled our agreement and handed that ‘treasure’ into your hands personally. Now, to accuse me by claiming it’s a mere ordinary object–doesn’t that seem a bit like crossing the river only to tear down the bridge, a bit unreasonable?” The man’s tone bore hints of helplessness and mockery, as if reminding Elder Talon Skyler not to forget the deal and promise between them.

He shrugged his shoulders lightly and continued, “I’ve said all I can. If you persist in this manner, do not blame me for turning heartless. After all, we were once partners. To fall out so badly benefits neither of us.” The man’s tone remained even, but the underlying threat was unmistakable. He was well aware of Elder Talon Skyler’s character and equally clear about his own leverage and standing in this gambit.

“As elites from the various Great Sects, we must never tolerate someone trampling on our dignity, treating us as if we can be bullied at will! At this moment, we must stand up and show him through our actions what a miserable end awaits those who provoke us!” one of them said righteously, with unmistakable determination and anger in his voice, like a lion enraged, ready to fight for its territory.

“Exactly! This guy even dares to publicly mock us, it’s simply outrageous, completely intolerable! Even if we’re not the top fighters in our Sects, we’re more than a match for these upstarts! How can we allow our reputation to be sullied by such clowns!” another followed with fervor, his eyes shining with resolution, as if he had already envisioned the moment of their enemy’s defeat.

The two of them were shouting loudly, their words filled with contempt for their opponent and confidence in their own strength. The surrounding air seemed to be infected by their aura, becoming heavy and tense. However, amidst the clamor, there was a calm observer, silently assessing the disparity in strength between the two sides.

“Judging by their behavior, their inner anger and determination are evident. However, from every angle, the opponent they see as a thorn in their side is actually far more powerful than they imagine. Whether it’s combat skills, practical experience, or that calm and collected demeanor in adversity, all hint at an extraordinary temperament. Unfortunately, these people seem to be unaware of this, blinded by rage, only seeing the hatred and provocation before them, while overlooking something much more essential–the true strength of their opponent.” The observer sighed inwardly, knowing that the outcome of the impending clash might be predestined.

Logan gently touched his nose, his gaze carrying a hint of mockery and resignation, as if he saw right through the seemingly casual but deeply meaningful gesture of the elder. He thought to himself, “This elder, clearly you couldn’t find a more suitable candidate, and thus you’ve turned your attention to a greenhorn like me. This isn’t giving me an opportunity, it’s more like throwing me a hot potato!”

He looked up at the elder, his clear eyes flickering with confusion and skepticism, his tone tinged with a wry smile, “Elder, you don’t really mean to have me go alone into that den of dragons and tigers to sort out those troublesome fellows that not even the Powerhouses of Ancient Times could handle, do you? This… this is a bit much to ask!”

There was a touch of disbelief in Logan’s words. He was well aware of the troublesome nature of those individuals, beings that even the older generation of the Strong Ones dreaded, and although he had considerable confidence in himself, he also knew the importance of recognizing his limits. In his view, if he could fight and win, he should fight, but if not, then running was the wise move. After all, while he had some prowess, he was far from being powerful enough to easily crush those ancient Strong Ones.

“Elder, you’re giving me too much credit. I, Logan, may have some capabilities, but I don’t consider myself to have reached the level where I can easily deal with those challenging individuals. Your request really puts me in a difficult position.” Logan spoke again, his voice now containing a mix of sincerity and helplessness. He was well aware of the deep meaning behind the elder’s action but also knew not to overestimate his abilities.

Hearing this, the elder simply smiled slightly, a smile that seemed to be filled with endless meaning and anticipation. He patted Logan lightly on the shoulder, as if to transfer an intangible strength and trust, “Logan, you need not worry too much. Sometimes, strength is not the only key determinant. Courage, wisdom, and determination are equally important. I believe that you can accomplish this seemingly impossible task.”
