After shaking off Master Fleck, Jaidon went to buy some spiritual herbs. Soon, his 100,000 gold coins were all spent away.
He couldn’t help but sigh. He had returned to his original state.
When he left the Violet Royal Auction House, the sun was already about to set. The sunset dyed everything red, but there wasn’t much warmth in it.
Just as he stepped out of the door, he stopped for a moment. The corner of his mouth hidden beneath his black robes revealed an inexplicable smile. Then, he left hastily.
The night was falling, and a good show was about to begin.
After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped in a remote location.
“You’ve been following all the way. Come out,” Jaidon said to his empty surroundings.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Applause rang out as Gage and Hank appeared before Jaidon.
A smile appeared on Gage’s face. “Since you know that we’re coming, I won’t waste any more words. Hand over the Strange Thunder Wood.”
“Hand it over? Do you really think you can defeat me by yourself?”
Coincidentally, he had made great progress in the skill ‘Devouring Golden Body’. Jaidon wanted to test just how powerful this body cultivation technique said to be able to sweep through the Heavenly Way was.
“Hey! What do you mean by himself? I’m here too, okay?” Hank protested but was ignored by the two.
Not only did Jaidon not treat him as a human, but even Gage did not think that this good-for-nothing brother of his could help much.
As long as he did not cause more trouble, it was fine.
Gage pondered for a moment and said, “I know that you are quite capable, but have you considered the consequences of offending the Warden Clan?”
“I forgot to mention that my father has already made a breakthrough to the Mid Stage of Battle General. Just like him, I am also a Battle General!”
This was a blatant threat.
He was just short of snatching it by force.
At the mention of the Warden Family, Hank also said excitedly, “That’s right, my Warden Family is not one you can afford to provoke. If you know what’s good for you, hand over the Strange Thunder Wood and apologize for attacking me.”
“Just kneel down and kowtow!”
At the mention of the Strange Thunder Wood, Hank recalled the humiliation he had just suffered and wished he could immediately kill Jaidon.
But before that, he had to humiliate him.
Even now, neither of them had recognized Jaidon.
They had thought that this robed man was just some clanless martial artist and had just been lucky enough to befriend Master Fleck.
But to be honest, the Warden family was not afraid of offending Master Fleck!
Recalling the recent arrival of a guest elder from the Warden Family, the smile on Gage’s face grew even wider as if everything was already within his grasp.
Jaidon shook his head. A Mid Stage Battle General had caused the Warden Family to be so complacent. He really didn’t know who had given them such confidence.
If it was in a game, it would be a classic case of being too short-sighted.
Just like a beginner finding out that they have joined the top guild and thinking that they were invincible.
They did not know that after leaving the beginner stage, there were various other big cities. At a level above the big cities were the capital cities, the imperial cities, and even world-class guilds.
The ignorant are truly fearless.
“Warden Family? Which little village clan is it from?” Jaidon asked, feigning ignorance.
This greatly infuriated the two of them.
They had lived under the protection of the Warden family ever since they were young. Both of them had strong confidence in their family. Now that they had heard someone slandering their family, how could they bear it?
Especially Gage, his gentle face revealed traces of malevolence as he shouted, “You’re courting death!”
With that said, the aura of a Battle General erupted from his body, and the signature Essence Energy Armor enveloped him.
Boundless essence energy burst forth. His cultivation level was even higher than Aidon’s before he was crippled.
This was the reason he dared to intercept this man alone!
In the entire Green Valley Town, there were very few Battle Generals.
And Gage was extremely familiar with these people. He was certain that this person before him wasn’t one of them.
“No one has ever dared to insult the Warden family in front of me. You are the first and last!”
With a burst of speed, Gage appeared before Jaidon in an instant and sent a violent punch towards him. It seemed like he did not intend to hold back.
Jaidon’s essence energy surged as well, but he immediately revealed his status.
“A Level-seven Battle Apprentice, hahaha… I’m dying of laughter. You’re just a Level-seven Battle Apprentice. I thought you were so awesome that you dared to go against me, let’s see if How fast I can kill you!”
Seeing Jaidon display his capability, Hank finally regained full confidence. This guy before him was just an ant.
Gage was also slightly surprised. That kick at the auction did not seem like a move that a mere Battle Apprentice could make.
However, he didn’t think too much about it. After all, it was just an ant. He could just crush it to death.
Bang!
Jaidon and Gage fought head-on. Jaidon had actually managed to receive this punch.
“Impossible!”
Gage was shocked. He could sense the immense power coming from above. This was definitely not an attack from a Battle Apprentice.
Even if he did not use his full strength, crippling a Battle Apprentice was not a problem.
However, he was easily suppressed by this person who looked like he was only a Level Seven Battle Apprentice.
“Wind Spinning Palm!”
Gage used a martial technique that transformed essence energy into a cutting blade, attached itself to his palm, and spun towards Jaidon.
‘Devouring Golden Body!’ Jaidon called out the spell.
A change began to appear on his body. His skin turned into a heavy bronze color, and lean muscles containing immense strength began to form. Just looking at them made one feel apprehensive.
Unfortunately, Jaidon was wrapped in a black robe, making it impossible to see his transformation.
However, one could sense that Jaidon’s aura had become stronger.
Jaidon did not dare to be careless. He used the gentle skill of the Taichi Fist and activated Devouring Golden Body to its limits.
“Block!”
Clang!
It was like the sound of a bell being struck, and the ground beneath collapsed as dust and dirt rose up with shocking impetus.
Although Gage looked down on Jaidon, he was also afraid of death and had no choice but to retreat.
This was the first time Jaidon had faced a Battle General head-on without relying on the system.
Jaidon took tens of steps back, blood trickling out from the corner of his mouth.
Although he was injured, he could still receive a blow from a general.
Gage was also forced back a few steps by the tyrannical strength of his body. His evaluation of Jaidon immediately rose to a whole new level.
Even though he was a Battle Apprentice, his status was on par with a Battle Master.
“Your physical strength is very abnormal.”
Gage narrowed his eyes as killing intent surged from his body.
At the same time, he wanted to figure out how Jaidon had cultivated his physical strength.
At this level, if he did not have the support of essence energy, even he would not be a match for Jaidon in terms of pure physical strength.
If the Warden Family obtained this cultivation method…
“Haha, a Battle General is nothing in front of this.”

Having completed the test of the Devouring Golden Body, Jaidon immediately pulled out the Thunder Source Wood, which did not possess any lightning powers anymore, and tossed it elsewhere.
As expected, Gage immediately went to catch it, whereas Jaidon sneered.
‘Little man, you are still too young.’
Jaidon immediately shot towards Gage like a cannonball.
