nWells handed over a small box.

n“This is the sacred grass our ancestors obtained from the Alps in Europe. It can instantly heal all the wounds on the body. It is rich in pure energy, and there are no side effects. If it is used by a ninth rank martial artist, there is even a possibility of breaking through to the Ultimate realm.”

nAfter Andrew took the box, the sound of a system notification rang in his ears.

n“Congratulations on obtaining 600,000 strengthening points.”

nAndrew nodded. It seemed that this was indeed a good item.

nIts value had already surpassed the corpse of an Ultimate realm demon beast.

nAndrew opened his mouth and asked, “Diana is from your family?”

nWells nodded.

n“Diana is a descendant of our family. She advocated integrating into the new world, so she went to New York University to receive martial arts training.”

nAndrew smiled. “I finally understand why she would surrender. But with Annie’s temper, I don’t think she would agree.”

nSure enough, Annie raised the sword in her hand.

n“I don’t need you to surrender. I can use my own strength to prove that I’m stronger than you!”

nAs soon as she finished speaking, her mental strength suddenly underwent a qualitative change.

nAnnie directly broke through to the seventh stage grandmaster realm.

n“Not bad, as expected of my woman,” Andrew said with a smile from the audience seats.

nWells and Clayton, who were at the side, didn’t say anything.

nWith their vision, they could naturally see what kind of state Annie was in.

nAnnie’s strength had already reached the peak of the sixth stage. Because she had consumed two stalks of sword intent grass, her sword intent had reached 50%, which greatly increased her spiritual power.

nIt could be said that Annie had always been at the edge of the seventh-grade grandmaster realm.

nEven if she didn’t break through in the arena right now…

nShe might suddenly reach the seventh grade the next day when she was sleeping or eating.

nCoupled with Diana’s words just now, it caused her some excitement.

nIt was very reasonable for Annie to break through to the seventh-grade grandmaster realm.

nDiana’s fierce fighting spirit also rose.

nPreviously, Diana’s surrender was not her original intention.

nAt this moment, both of them were of the same seventh rank. She naturally wanted to see if she was a match for Annie.

nAnnie’s strength foundation was not stable. From the fourth rank onwards, she relied on pills to forcefully increase her strength.

nHowever, compared to Diana, her battle experience was richer.

nAlthough Diana had relied on herself to train, she had always been in the Dupont family and had never experienced a battle with monsters.

nAnnie’s equipment and sword intent were still slightly better.

nAfter a minute of the battle, Diana’s long sword left her hand and landed on the ground not far away.

nShe panted heavily and nodded at Annie.

n“It’s true that I lost today. But the next time, I will definitely defeat you!”

nAfter Diana left the stage, she flew directly to the audience.

nShe first saluted Andrew and Clayton, then knelt down in front of Wells.

n“Third Uncle.”

nWells was expressionless as he asked coldly, “You ran out of the Holy Land without permission. Do you know your mistake?”

nTwo years ago, Diana sneaked out of the Holy Land when the rest of the family was not paying attention. She went to the outside world and joined New York University.

n“I know my mistake,” Diana said. “But I came to the outside world. In these two years, I realized what kind of character the warriors here have. The martial arts and moves they practice are very simple and crude. But their battle experience and willpower are something that our family warriors can not achieve.

n“I am sure that when a family warrior of the same realm fights with a warrior from the outside world, the warriors from the outside world will definitely win!”

nWells fell into silence after hearing this.

nHe could not deny it.

nBefore he came out, he had always looked down on the warriors from the outside world.

nThese warriors’ techniques had only been passed down for twenty years, and their cultivation methods were crude and primitive. How could their moves be compared to a Holy Land family, which had been passed down for a thousand years?

nBut after coming to the secular world for a period of time, he found that the situation was completely different.

nThe warriors from the outside world risked death every day to fight with the demon beasts.

nThis kind of martial will was far superior to that of the descendants of the Holy Land.

nSeeing that Wells did not speak, Diana gritted her teeth, stood up, and said sternly, “Third Uncle, if our Holy Land does not make any changes, we will definitely be eliminated by martial arts in a few decades!”

nFinally, Wells nodded.

n“This matter needs to be discussed by the higher-ups of the family. However, I will make the decision for you to escape without permission. You will be exempted from all punishment, and you will continue to study martial arts at New York University in the future.”

nHearing this, Diana’s face was full of surprise.

nAfter thanking him, she left happily.

nAndrew and Clayton looked at each other.

nWells had given her the sacred herb again today, giving her the advantage to admit defeat. He had even agreed to let Diana continue to stay at New York University.

nThis was sending a signal.

nIt was very likely that the Dupont family would choose to stand on the side of the outside world.

nAfter the competition ended, the reporters gathered around Annie for an interview.

nAs the champion of the martial arts competition, Annie naturally could not lack these things.

nAndrew was not interested in this and left first.

nVery soon, he received a call.

nIt was from Bennett.

n“Sir Andrew, my father replied to my letter. He took a few photos and said that he didn’t know if this is the material you want.”

n“He doesn’t know?” Andrew was stunned.

nWasn’t this thing very simple?

nActually, it wasn’t.

n“I’ll send you the photos. Because there are more demon beasts over there, my father didn’t dare to stay for too long.”

nAndrew soon received the photos he sent.

n“It’s actually the crimson flame stone!”

nAndrew was pleasantly surprised.

nThe crimson flame stone contained very rich fire elemental energy. It could be used to refine some fire elemental artifacts.

nSuch a large piece should be enough to refine three flying swords.

n“These are the materials I need. When I get my hands on them, I can give you a ninth-grade demon core and an eighth-grade demon core.”

nWhen Bennett heard this, he was delighted.

nThis reward was extremely rich.

nAfter all, these materials weren’t of much use to them.

nBennett quickly sent over an address. It was in California.

nAndrew flew on his sword and quickly rushed over.

nThere was a Death Valley Park in California. It was very famous.

nThe crimson flame stone that Bennett’s father had discovered was here.

nAfter meeting Bennett’s father, Andrew found that although this person was in his forties, he was cultured and looked young.

n“Hello, King Thunderblade. My name is Casia,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

nAndrew nodded.

n“Where is the specific location of the crimson flame stone?”

n“Do you really what that?” Casia asked with some doubt.

n“Why do you ask?”

n“Because…” Casia said hesitantly, “Because I found too many crimson flame stones.”
