Chapter 21: The 3 Tests And The Rewards

However, Emerson did not expect that Tifa would do such a thing.

Tifa did not feel satisfied at all. When Emerson was not paying attention, she suddenly turned around and bit his hand.

Emerson had been guarding himself from Tifa. However, he did not expect that she would make such a move as he did not react at all.

However, with his physique, most people would not be able to hurt him by throwing a punch at him, let alone bite him.

Unfortunately, although the girl was powerful, her teeth were not as strong as hers genetic attributes.

Emerson did not feel anything, but Tifa’s teeth were when she bit his flesh.

Half a second later, she saw Emerson pull out a long knife.

“Just you wait! I’ll think of a way to deal with you!”

The lady said fiercely as she ran away.

Emerson frowned as she disappeared at the corner of the street. He did not chase after her.


Lucy was still at home. If he chased after her, it would not be safe.

Emerson did not dare to take such a risk.

However, after thinking it carefully, that girl did not seem to be from the Rory family.

After all, when he was on the Life and Death Arena, he knew that he could not defeat Rory. Thus, he used his Elementary Flame Control and Elementary Spatial Manipulation to escape. He only met the girl later.

It was impossible for Rory to have the time to order his subordinates to find him.

Since that was the case, Emerson felt much more secured.

As long as it did not threaten Lucy’s safety, he would not be afraid of any danger.

However, the girl’s intention was unclear, so he still had to keep on his guard.

The sky turned dark again, and the Iron City returned to its tranquility under the cover of the candlelight.

Emerson did not attend Elrond’s banquet. He was not interested in such things that required social interaction. Moreover, such a thing had just happened. He had to protect Lucy’s safety, so he simply went to bed early.

To be more precise, he just took naps.

With his current condition, unless he was extremely tired or his body was severely injured, he did not need to sleep at all. He just needed to rest.

However, he maintained sufficient vigilance throughout the night and did not find any uninvited guests coming to disturb him.

The next day, he brought the token to the city lord’s mansion to visit Elrond.

The main reason was to tell Elrond that he was ready to challenge the other 3 tests.

Elrond warmly welcomed him, and on the way, he asked him why he did not attend the banquet yesterday.

Emerson told Elrond that he felt unwell, and the two of them chatted casually. Soon, they arrived at the testing area.

“Carry on the glory of the Indigo Empire. I wish you success, Emerson.”

Standing at the entrance of the testing area, Elrond said kindly.

Emerson did not say anything as he entered the testing area.

Unlike the Eternal Stairs, that place was only testing a genetic warrior’s strength.

Emerson could endure the gravity and pressure in the Eternal Stairs. Hence, it was not something too challenging for him.

Easily, he successfully found the secret stored in that space and broke Viscount Green’s record in the same time.

Unlike the semen in the Eternal Stairs, there were 10 sets of blood stored in that space. Emerson was unsure whether those were human blood or mutated creatures blood.

Emerson did not want to use his body to risk these unknown things, so he gave all of them to Elrond.

Next was the space to test his agility and physique. He passed easily without any difficulty.

There were still 10 sets of blood in there. It seemed that the blood in the 3 spaces represented the main direction of evolution of the original owner’s genes.

The secret that had been sealed for thousands of years finally surfaced.

Elrond could not help but be excited.

He knew that these things would definitely bring great changes to the Indigo Empire in the near future.

“Emerson, what kind of rewards do you need?”

Elrond was prepared to fulfill his promise.

“The meat of mutated creatures above tier 7, soul weapons, and soul pills.”

Emerson stated his requirements. To him, any creature that possessed energy could absorb it. He was not as picky as ordinary genetic warriors.

“You’ve brought so much contribution to the Indigo Empire. You only want evolution resources? Do you have any other requirements?”

Elrond smiled as he continued, “For example, I can help you settle the trouble with the Rory Family?”

The challenge that Rory Queen had issued on the Life and Death Arena yesterday had spread throughout Iron City.

Emerson’s reputation had also spread.

Everyone was discussing who this Emerson Cole was. He was actually able to attract the hatred of the most talented and powerful young generation in Iron City.

In the end, due to Elrond’s initial information blockade and Lucius’ death, only a few people knew Emerson’s true strength.

This also caused many people to voluntarily put out bounties in the Bounty Association in order to curry favor with the Rory family.

Information about Emerson Cole was worth 50 gold coins each.

Information that could determine Emerson Cole’s location was worth 500 gold coins each.

Information that had Emerson Cole’s appearance was worth 5,000 gold coins!

Whoever could capture Emerson Cole, 50,000 gold coins would be paid immediately!

Although Emerson’s action of killing Lucius yesterday was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the people were not afraid of him because the thirst of money.

Driven by money, the search for Emerson caused a great uproar in Iron City.

However, no one had provided any information about Emerson Cole.

Elrond told Emerson about that and said, “Rory Queen might fight you on the Life and Death Arena in a month’s time. Fair and square. However, there are still some people who might not do so.”


“What are you talking about?”

“The Count’s Mansion. The Klingler family.”

Even the Count wanted Emerson.

Emerson could not imagine how many people he had unknowingly provoked.

“But I can still help you stop them for the time being. You can ignore them. What you should be concerned about now is what I just said.”

Elrond paused for a moment and said, “I can let them know that you have passed the tests. With that, some of them might leave you alone. This way, you can save a lot of trouble.”

Emerson smiled. “The challenges will also be more difficult, right?”

“The strong are not afraid of challenges,” Elrond said.

“As long as they don’t harm my family, I won’t be afraid of any challenges.”

Emerson said indifferently as he turned around and left.
