What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

After saying that, Evans took out a pair of gloves covered with magic crystals from the alchemy equipment next to him.

Only after putting them on his wrist did he dare to touch the two items that contained the fluctuations of the laws.

“Young Master Duran, remember, before you reach the fourth rank, never touch the inheritance stone directly. Three or four drops of a strong person's essence blood is fine, but this whole half-gourd of essence blood will put a great burden on your body.”

Evans removed the Inheritance Stone and said, "Watch closely, I'll demonstrate the steps to open the Inheritance Stone!"

The guardian of the ancestral hall repeatedly tapped the intersection of the alchemical matrix. Stimulated by the magic, the perfect octahedron slowly unfolded, becoming a visualization diagram. Immersing one's mental energy into it yielded even better results.

The visualization of the Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon bloodline ability is very simple and straightforward: it is an Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon tearing its prey apart, with flames on its body that are blue, green, and yellow.

The yellow flames, mainly concentrated on the eyebrows, spine, and tail, look like they are outlining some kind of totem.

"This is the first form of the Inheritance Stone, the visualization diagram. Have you memorized the steps, Young Master Duran?"

Yang Xi nodded.

Evans looked satisfied after receiving a positive reply. This process can be complicated in some ways, but it's not that difficult in others. The key is whether you put your heart into it.

Young Master Duran was able to memorize it in one go, which shows how much he values ​​this matter.

A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold!

Subsequently, Evans demonstrated several other new forms of the Inheritance Stone to Yang Xi through different activation steps, including the operating route, several breathing frequencies summarized by predecessors, and meditation postures, suitable for clansmen with different aptitudes.

"In the future, if any exceptionally talented clansmen are able to create even more efficient cultivation methods, they can also record them on the inheritance stone!"

Well, it even has a real-time update function. This Inheritance Stone truly deserves to be one of the proudest achievements of Odysseus's alchemy.

Without the technology of the Inheritance Stone, it would be extremely difficult for the Azure Star race to replicate a meditation method as effective as that of the Osiders.

Even so, the Osde colonists were willing to spend a fortune to purchase the "Secret Seal" service from the Mercenary Guild, because they were truly terrified by the native races who, after obtaining the meditation method, had made rapid progress in strength and had given the Osde a sound beating in their own plane.

Although they lack a complete system of magic and alchemy, every native plane has a few exceptionally brilliant geniuses who can grasp the essence of the Osiders' meditation methods after witnessing them.

Or perhaps it's a way to quickly enhance the strength of those around them, or to feel a sense of accomplishment on their cultivation path. In fact, with the blessing of the legendary power of the plane, there have even been fifth-tier Heavenly Realm experts!

However, the original plane that gave birth to a fifth-tier powerhouse ultimately met a tragic end.

In order to eliminate this exceptionally talented fifth-tier powerhouse, the Osed Plane took advantage of the stable magical environment of the colony plane and decisively sent down several fifth-tier powerhouses to forcibly eliminate this monstrous fifth-tier powerhouse!

The domineering nature of the Odyssey plane is evident!

"Sigh, speaking of which, the foundation of our Jishiji is indeed quite lacking. Some families have more than one visualization diagram, and even the blood essence of their powerful members comes from several ancestors."

After all, in the history of the Keith family, there has only been one fourth-tier powerhouse.

Yang Xi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; in fact, he had already guessed it in his heart.

One superpower can lead to the comprehension of different profound mysteries, and one profound mystery can also give rise to different superpowers.

The relationship between the laws of nature and supernatural abilities has never been a simple one-to-one correspondence.

Just to be on the safe side, Evans demonstrated several more times to make sure Yang Xi remembered it before taking the jade gourd and beginning to teach Yang Xi how to extract the essence blood of a powerful being from it.

After Yang Xi had fully familiarized himself with all the steps, Hu De, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and solemnly instructed Yang Xi: "Duran, promise me that if I ask you to take Shirley and escape, you must not hesitate. You are the hope of our Keith family."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, "Even in the most critical moments, you, Sherry, can be sacrificed!"

Hu De knew that Duran, who possessed the potential to become a "Super Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon," was the most likely member of his clan to break through to the fourth rank.

As long as Duran is alive, even if all the other members of the clan die, he can still rebuild a more vibrant Keith family when he breaks through to the fourth rank.

The Keith family will have a much deeper foundation by then than it does now.

Yang Xi was pondering when to come to this secret chamber to pack up the inheritance stone and the essence of the powerful and take them away, but he "heavily" agreed to Hu De's request.

If they were really in danger and needed to abandon Sherry to escape, Yang Xi would have thrown Sherry down without Hood's instruction.

Although Yang Xi had spent some time with this spoiled and willful eldest daughter of the Keith family, in his eyes she was no different from the other women Duran had collected.

After all, they are not of our kind.

However, the Osiders are really similar to the Blue Star people, except that the strong ones have a longer adolescence. Sherry is already over thirty years old, but she still looks about the same as a human high school girl.

The average lifespan of the Ossidens reached 170 years, far exceeding that of humans.

"However, there is no reproductive isolation between the Osiders and the Blue Star people, which is a reason worth pondering."

Yang Xi felt that there must be other reasons behind this too-coincidental situation.

Perhaps the relationship between the Osiders and the Blue Star people is not so simple.

Perhaps we all shared a common ancestor in much earlier times.

"The succession ceremony for the position of head of the family will be arranged after the funeral. Duran, you need to study the relevant etiquette carefully during this period. You can't mess up on such an important occasion!"

Hu gave earnest and heartfelt instructions.

Yang Xi was distracted while dealing with his cheap second uncle, but his thoughts had already drifted beyond the Keith family's territory.

"One, two, three—so many groups of guests with different auras. It seems there are quite a few forces that care about the Keith family!"

Yang Xi changed into a plain white robe, with a dragon head emblem composed of just a few strokes on the left chest.

"I just don't know if they care about the family's wealth or that mysterious thing Walker is hiding."

"The mystery should be solved tonight, right?"

Yang Xi was completely watching with amusement, and he was starting to want to speed up his progress in the Southern Continent.

396 I am actually a third-order limit

It was late at night, and a light rain was falling.

The light from the magic crystal lamp cast a solemn atmosphere amidst the dense, dark crowd.

In the plane of Osside, funerals are usually held at night because the Osside people firmly believe that the night is the final resting place of the dead.

The rain soaked their clothes, but no one seemed to notice.

Aside from a small minority who were genuinely grieving the death of their chieftain, most were filled with fear and anxiety about the future.

This unexpected turn of events at such a crucial moment in the struggle for the position of Lord of Bright City is truly worrying.

If the Keith family becomes a casualty in this competition, then the fate awaiting most of their clansmen is death, or, like the native tribes, enslavement.

Besides members of the Keith family, guests from other families were also present at the funeral.

The Clark family with their six-eyed golden cicadas, the Murphy family with their extreme ice magic, the Rupert family with their prairie lions, and so on, all stood in the middle.

Further back are some smaller families.

Of the four factions, the Beast Alliance was the only one that did not send anyone; the other three all sent their respective representatives.

Among them, the strongest among the people of the Hundred Cities Federation is named Dick, a third-tier ultimate expert of the Inheritance system. He is the most capable assistant of Platinum Deacon Ockham. He has chestnut-colored short hair, wears a scarf, and looks refined and cultured.

But don't be fooled by his appearance. Anyone who has heard the rumors about him knows how crazy this Platinum Butler's assistant can be when he's in battle!

In contrast, the representatives of the Benadot Empire and the Mercenary Guild were rather ordinary.

In Yang Xi's perception, the two of them combined might not be a match for Dick.

"Please accept my condolences. On behalf of Lord Ockham, I once again express my deepest apologies."

Dick's fair and handsome face was etched with a sorrowful expression.

Hood had regained his composure and did not lash out on the spot, but he was too lazy to even put on a fake smile in a social setting. He said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Ockham. Please be sure to convey the gratitude of our Keith family."

Even if he suspected that Ockham, a fourth-tier powerhouse, had killed his brother Walker, Hood had no choice but to endure the humiliation for the sake of the family's continuation.

He wouldn't have questioned a fourth-tier expert in front of everyone if he hadn't been enraged.

After all, a fourth-tier being represents absolute military power in the New Frey Continent.

Otherwise, when the Saint of Light Erosion descended many years ago and arrogantly seized the position of Lord of Bright City, he would not have gained the recognition of all parties.

In addition, there are other important reasons why his behavior was tolerated.

First of all, he did not disrupt the balance of power among the major forces in Bright City, and his actions were still within an acceptable range for the four forces.

Moreover, the price to pay for eliminating this fourth-tier light-elemental powerhouse from the Alfonso family is not something every force can afford.

If we're not careful, the entire Bright City could be destroyed in the fourth-tier battle, which would truly be a huge loss.

Therefore, all four sides have been trying to win over the Light Erosion Saint, a fourth-tier powerhouse who does not currently belong to any faction.

That's why he was able to hold the position of Lord of Bright City for decades.

As Hu De awkwardly socialized with the various people, Yang Xi secretly kept an eye on the movements in the shadows.

Dick suddenly made an excuse to leave temporarily.

Now that the funeral has reached its most critical moment, and all attention is focused on the front hall, the guests lurking in the shadows have finally made their move.

"Where did these families come from?"

Yang Xi muttered something to himself, informed Hu De, and followed.

He discovered that, including Dick, there were four third-tier limit powerhouses who had infiltrated the Keith family's territory, seemingly searching for something!

Clearly, they must have had intelligence about the terrain inside their territory.

"Are these guys here to take advantage of the chaos?"

Goodness, even he himself, the heir, wasn't particularly familiar with these nooks and crannies, but these four guys were clearly much more relaxed and efficient than him!

"Indeed, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise!"

Yang Xi sighed sincerely and continued to keep watch with his mental energy.

Clearly, with Walker dead, the Keith family lost the deterrent power of a third-tier limit fighter. These four groups of "guests" acted more decisively, and the only remaining caution was probably reserved for other forces.

"Duran, where are you going!"

A faint fragrance wafted from Yang Xi's nostrils; somehow, Shirley had followed them.

"Stomachache."

"Nonsense, the toilet is clearly over here."

Shirley's face was full of suspicion.

"Tell me honestly, what exactly are you going to do at such an important occasion!"

Yang Xi shoved her head down onto his body. Just now, his location was almost exposed because of Shirley!

"Oh dear, Duran, waaaaah!"
