Chapter 72: 72

“Father, third brother is acting on his own again! You have to discipline him…” A man with a crew cut expressed his dissatisfaction with his younger brother to Old Man White.

“Well, it’s not like you don’t know your third brother’s personality. He’s always so proactive and energetic. When he heard that something had happened at home, of course he was anxious. Although he’s a little radical, I believe that with his ability, he’ll be able to deal with Locke cleanly.”

“For now, you can stay at home with your second brother and support me in the governor elections…”

For some reason, when Old Man White saw his three sons, he was put at ease.

In the hundreds of years of the White family’s existence, Old Man White and his three sons were the strongest the White family has ever been!

Once he had secured the position of governor, their family would take another step up the social ladder!

Upon this thought, Old Man White was filled with hope for the future.

He believed that the lowly snake, Locke, would not be able to escape from Andrew’s razor-sharp talons!

“Alright, since father has no qualms, let’s just sit by and watch, big brother. You’re being a nuisance…” On the sofa in the distance, a thin man with heavy bags under his eyes spoke.

“Moto, you have no right to interrupt my conversation!”

The eldest son, Alva, was tall and had a majestic voice.

As the heir of the family, his resolute gaze carried the regality of a king!

“Alright, alright, I’m in the wrong, alright? But can you speak a little quieter? My ears can’t stand it…” The second son, Moto, responded truthfully.

“Hmph! It’s because you’re always dwelling in dark places and carrying out disgusting activities! That’s why your body is so weak! I really can’t understand how we’re brothers!”

There was a ring of truth to Alva’s words.

Moto, who was thin and frail, was simply an anomaly compared to his other brothers and sisters.

His pale face and listless gaze were his trademark.

Coupled with his messy long hair, those who did not know any better would have thought that he was a vampire…

“Alright! How many times have I told you, as the future clan leader, you have to be magnanimous! Guide your brothers one step at a time, don’t shout so loudly at random!”

Although he was chastising Alva, Old Man White’s eyes were filled with love.

Alva was the heir that he had carefully groomed, and he was the representative of the White family’s bright future!

“Tomorrow, you and I will head to a nearby village to do some charity work. This will be highly beneficial for the upcoming election. So, head to bed early if you can…” With that, Old Man White left the living room.

“Remember to go and watch Andrew’s duel tomorrow. Inform me if anything unexpected happens!” Upon reaching the door, Alva instructed.

Moto yawned, “Not interested…”

“Humph!” Alva did not bother to say anything else and left.

…

Under the night sky, Diana checked the declaration of war given by Andrew and said, “If it wasn’t for the seal of the Federal Supreme Court, I would have thought that it was fake…”

“Hehe! The Supreme Court of the Federation was bribed all so a noble family could dispose of an ordinary student. What a spectacle!” Jacques held a cigarette in his mouth, and voiced his disdain over the Federation’s officials.

“Andrew is back, huh. He’s probably way stronger than back then…”Trista seemed to know him.

Looking at the inquisitive gazes of everyone, he said, “I used to be his tutor. Compared to the rest of you, I guess you can call us acquaintances.”

“This guy is actually not as smart as he looks. But he is indeed a down-to-earth person. He even cultivated in Gale Mountain once! He is a terrifyingly hardworking person.”

“Although I don’t want to admit it, he is probably stronger than Locke. So, my suggestion is… to reject this duel.”

“Indeed, what’s the point in participating if you can’t beat your opponent” Trusting Tristan’s opinion, Jacques echoed.

Seeing that Locke was staying silent, Diana walked forward and consoled Locke, “It’s okay! He’s from a noble family. Even if you back down here, no one would badmouth you. On the other hand, if they were to abuse their power, they will definitely be despised.”

“It’s okay, Kid! If you want, I can give you private lessons in the future! Once you’re strong enough, you can just settle the score with them!” Jacques stood up and comforted Locke as well.

Locke smiled and said, “If he’s considered hardworking, then what about me?”

The three of them did not know what Locke was trying to express. They looked at each other and shrugged. The three of them each made their own judgments.

“Let’s put it this way. In any case, I have never seen someone as talented as you…”

“You have a bright future ahead of you…”

“Genius! You’re an absolute genius…”

Locke nodded and said, “Since I’m a genius, why should I be afraid of Him?”

As soon as he said this, the three of them recalled Locke’s personality.

He would definitely participate in the duel tomorrow.

“Have you thought it through? Andrew is really strong!” Tristan emphasized his point again.

“No problem. Heck, I’d be even sadder if there are no strong opponents for me to go against…” Locke’s words were quite arrogant!

However, his arrogance was not unwarranted!

He had three divine rank Battle Beasts, and he had a Stage 2 Body Tempering!

Moreover, he also had the System backing him up!

If he was unable to handle Andrew, then how would he deal with stronger enemies in the future?

After more than ten minutes of persuasion, the three instructors had given up on convincing Locke to back out of the fight.

While leaving, Jacques whispered to Diana, “Remember to bring down the chief physician tomorrow so that he can treat Locke at a moment’s notice…”

Locke was feeling completely unpressured. After returning to his dorm and cultivating Incantation, he then enjoyed a comfortable sleep.

Early morning the next day, the bird donning the work uniform of the Battle Beast Treasure Tower arrived as promised.

After receiving the express delivery, and verifying the quantities, Locke followed the steps provided by the System to advance his Wings of the Sky!

“Ding! Congratulations on successfully advancing…”a After the congratulatory message, an interface appeared:

[ Updated Battle Beast Name: Gale Wings ]

[ Battle Beast Grade: Rose Gold Divine Rank ]

[ Battle Beast Type: Skill-based Battle Beast ]

[ Battle Beast Attribute: Wind-type ]

[ Battle Beast Level: Level 1, Stage 2 ]

[ Battle Beast Skills: Windy Haste, Hurricane Piercer (New Skill) ]

[ New Skill Description: Hurricane Piercer, condenses the air to form a powerful air bomb full of destructive power! ]

“Wow! This skill seems cool!” Locke was filled with excitement whenever his Battle Beasts advanced.

Locke was excited to give his new skill a spin!

He looked at his watch. It was already eight o’clock. Therefore, once he was done with his breakfast, whistled and trudge leisurely towards the academy’s field.
