Chapter 1085 Edgar Alstreim“s Move

'What the...?'

Everyone became flabbergasted.

Diamanda Alstreim seemed like she was almost going to be killed by Alchemist Davis before she could even launch her attack, but Edgar Alstreim gets scot-free for blatantly disrespecting Alchemist Davis and even be audacious enough to tell that he was here for someone else before looking at Alchemist Davis's wife?

They couldn't comprehend what was happening.

However, they looked at Edgar Alstreim's expression suddenly become solemn before turning to look aside, his gaze falling on a similar trashy person.

"Step out, Weiss Alstreim. We have a score to settle!"

Weiss Alstreim, who didn't even bother to glance at Edgar Alstreim, suddenly had his eyes grew wide. He disbelievingly turned to look at him before his expression fell.

"Hahahaha!!!" He burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Did I hear you right? Are you asking me to step out? A trash asking me to step out!?"

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Weiss Alstreim's decrepit laughter, a few others couldn't help but laugh as well. They felt that Edgar Alstreim had lost his mind.

No wonder he was acting stupidly in front of Alchemist Davis.

Edgar Alstreim coldly smiled, "I'm not asking you. I'm ordering you to step out as I merely don't want to cause trouble to Alchemist Davis."

"Hahahaha!!!" Weiss Alstreim still seemed to be laughing in his seat, holding his stomach.

He pointed at Edgar Alstreim, "Everyone, did you all hear that? He says that he's ordering me... Ordering?"

"Aiya! I forgot the meaning of that word." He held his head and posed an obedient att.i.tude, "Crippled trash cultivator, please remind me of the meaning of the wor-"

*PahhH!~*

A resounding slap abruptly echoed, causing Weiss Alstreim to fly towards the side as he miserably rolled over the floor.

"..."

The youths all possessed agape expressions on their faces, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Did the cripple just slap the face of the Young Master of the Alstreim Family in front of the entire younger generation experts?

They felt their faces burn in Weiss Alstreim's stead.

"Ahhhh!!! b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!" Weiss Alstreim canceled out the force that sent him flying out of his seat as he stopped rolling on the floor.

He stood up in anger and held his cheek. It severely pained, and his lips were bleeding as well. But more than that, the humiliation he experienced was overwhelming that his entire body trembled in rage!

However, he suddenly stopped trembling as he realized a certain fact. He disbelievingly pointed at Edgar Alstreim as his lips trembled.

"You...! You... you are in the Martial Master Stage!?"

Everyone simultaneously realized the same time of this fact. Some even stood up in abrupt disbelief!

How!!!?

Edgar Alstreim moved with such speed that they thought that it was an illusion, but now that they sensed Edgar Alstreim's Martial Master Stage undulations, they were convinced!

But how was it possible for a cripple to reach this stage!?

And when? From when did Edgar Alstreim become this powerful!?

Indeed, Body Tempering Cultivation was hard to find out just from seeing or sweeping the other party with a wisp of soul sense. Unless the Body Tempering Cultivator revealed their cultivation base or they deeply sweep the cultivator's body with their soul sense, only then would they be able to tell. Otherwise, it's almost impossible to infer other than being able to guess.

Edgar Alstreim remained low-key without revealing his cultivation. Last time in the Grand Welcoming Hall, he was about to challenge Weiss Alstreim for the Young Master's position but was interrupted by the reunion he had with his elder brother.

This left almost no one knowing about his Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage Cultivation at that time!

'Oh? Did restoring the lower dantian, which in turn made the dry meridian channels energy flow function properly, making it easier for him to enter the Martial Master Stage?' Davis mused.

He knew that Edgar Alstreim cultivated hard like a madman to raise his Body Tempering Cultivation to Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage all these years, not letting himself be bound by the mark of trash.

He could see that Edgar Alstreim's conviction after being crippled by a large margin. Instead, he used that as a stepping stone to vastly increase his Body Tempering Cultivation even though it should be difficult with his Essence Gathering Cultivation crippled.

The two cultivation systems were intricately connected, after all.

Edgar Alstreim needed a vast amount of resources than the norm to increase his Body Tempering Cultivation.

The Alstreim Family was not the Towering Cloud Hall. Obtaining materials and pills required to boost one's Body Tempering Cultivation was difficult here, but Edgar Alstreim managed to do the impossible even then.

However, the average Body Tempering is not something that could be increased with just will.

It requires sacrifice in the form of hidden injuries and a great deal of endurance to bear the pain in tempering every part of the body!

When Davis healed Edgar Alstreim with the life-like energy, he made sure to heal the hidden injuries caused by those intense body tempering sessions as well. Combined with the restoration of the lower dantian, Davis could tell that it paved the way for Edgar Alstreim to successfully enter the Martial Master Stage, the Seventh Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation!

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

A few people appeared behind Davis and Evelynn. He glanced at them and saw that it was his father and mother, Logan and Claire.

They arrived here because Claire felt her father's energy undulations. Initially, Claire felt this energy was stronger but feeling it familiar, she came to investigate and what she saw was her father in a stand-off with Weiss Alstreim!

She was shocked yet ecstatic to see her father reach the Martial Master Stage! However...

"Davis, why is my father here, and what's happening?" She inquired with a soul transmission.

Even in soul transmission, Davis could feel his mother's worried voice influence his emotions.

"Calm down, mother. Your father is here for some reason, and it clearly has something to do with his revenge. Mother shouldn't interfere as this is a man's way of retrieving the pride he lost."

Claire narrowed her brows, but she nodded her head. She also simultaneously informed her husband, Logan, of the situation. He nodded his head and stayed his hand.

If it weren't for Davis's words, she was truly looking to step forward and burn Weiss Alstreim at this moment.

Edgar Alstreim didn't even seem to be looking at Weiss Alstreim but directly cast a look at the two newcomers. In fact, everyone's eyes swiveled back and forth, wondering what kind of quakes the other Dragon Queen's subordinates was going to bring!

Edgar Alstreim was rather worried that they would stop him or throw him out, but recognizing that they were not doing anything, he felt that it might be Alchemist Davis who put in a word for him.

However, he noticed that strange masked-woman was also here. He knew that she was rather curious about him, but he didn't have the time to care about it now.

He turned his head to look back at Weiss Alstreim, his expression remaining indifferent.

"That's right! I have indeed reached Martial Master Stage," Edgar Alstreim slowly replied as he had his arms folded, "I ordered you to step out, but since you forced me to make a move, I'll state what I truly came here for!"

He raised his hand, and a piece of scroll appeared in his grasp. It hung vertically in the air, its blood-red words transforming into an intimidating aura that shook the hearts of the youths.

"Weiss Alstreim! I, Edgar Alstreim, challenge you to a life and death battle!"
