The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1761
Huge masses of thundering flames gushed over like tsunami waves.
Alex Rockefeller stood by the tower’s entrance. In an instant, he felt his hands and feet turning cold, and an endless sense of fear filled his heart.
“This is way too much!”
At the crucial moment, Alex naturally couldn’t wait around for his death. He needed to fight it somehow. In the next instant, Alex activated his Profound Martial Shield Armor Art and tried to communicate with the Chaos Bead in his mind palace. He didn’t have anything else to rely on. The Chaos Bead and Chaos Tree were currently his most powerful treasures.
However, what disappointed him was that both the Chaos Tree and Chaos Bead ignored him completely. They didn’t seem to have any intention of saving their master.
“This is terrible!” Alex muttered helplessly while he watched how the endless thundering flames would consume him. At first, he thought he would be burned to death instantly. However, in the end, that didn’t happen. The Force in his body reacted as if on steroids. Excitedly, it began to spin faster and faster.
The lighting attribute spiritual power howled within his veins.
Some strange runes even appeared from his golden core.
Boom!
Countless thundering flames surrounded Alex instantly. He could feel his clothes burning into ashes right away. Although the Profound Martial Shield Armor Art covered his skin, it didn’t seem to be effective with such thundering flames around it. The flames directly pierced through the barrier and entered his body.
Alex’s golden core was spinning frantically. It was getting faster and faster while absorbing the thundering flames.
Through his internal vision, he still couldn’t quite see how fast the golden core was spinning. He could only describe it as very high speed. Meanwhile, masses of thundering flames eagerly fought to enter his golden core, and they were all captured by it.
Alex was stunned. “What’s going on here?”
Alex had never heard about anyone’s golden core being capable of storing thundering flames. Thundering flames were objects that could refine great demons into water. His golden core shouldn’t be able to withstand them. Based on common knowledge, his golden core should be crushed into pieces upon touching the thundering flames!
Even more strange was the fact that an ancient rune actually dug its way out of Alex’s spiritual pressure point.
Upon closer inspection, he found that it was the letter ‘Z’!
After this rune symbol appeared, a strange reaction immediately occurred between it and Alex’s spiritual power with lightning attribute Force. The symbol seemed to be guiding the spiritual power, forming a large patch of unrecognizable runes in Alex’s body. After that, it flowed into Alex’s golden core and continuously rotated inside.
A few minutes later, another ancient rune rushed out from Alex’s spiritual pressure point.
This time, it was the letter ‘G’!
Like the ancient rune before, it fused with Alex’s spiritual power before entering his golden core. It then combined with the thundering flames that had been absorbed earlier before it continued to rotate.
Alex was completely stunned motionless.
He couldn’t understand what was happening at all. Right after that, ancient runes spurted out repeatedly. Ten ancient runes came out consecutively, spelling the letters N, Y, E, B, J, I, H, K, D, and W!
Alex was shocked at the sight.
After that, a message appeared in his conscious mind as if he was receiving enlightenment, “Forbidden spell!”
The legacy left behind by his ancestor was actually an ancient forbidden spell. These twelve ancient runes were the Force’s real name. However, this spell was unacceptable in the universe because it was a type of forbidden spell.
Hence, it was named the Force!
It was an unspeakable kind of spell.
Meanwhile, with the ancient forbidden spell activated, it required even more thundering flames. It wanted to form a life brand within Alex’s golden core. However, the thundering flames in the bottom level of Soul Refining Tower weren’t quite enough.
After understanding this desire within his golden core, Alex immediately started moving up to the second floor of Soul Refining Tower. As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, the nameless forbidden spell in him attracted countless thundering flames into his golden core once again.
In reality, when the thundering flames entered his golden core, they needed to pass through his physical body. It was excruciating, but there was spiritual power all over his body that the forbidden spell had formed.
Alex could bear with this slight pain.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1762
Fairy Doctor and Uncle Drake stood silently outside the tower.
“Ms. Dawn, let’s go. I haven’t had your tea for a long time. Ever since Principal Henderson went to Dragon King’s Grotto, I haven’t gone out for a walk. I’d like to get a cup of tea at your place,” Uncle Drake said after looking at the tower for about ten minutes.
Fairy Doctor looked at Soul Refining Tower with a concerned expression on her face. “But, he…”
“There’s no point worrying now. From the look of his face, he seems to be quite lucky. He shouldn’t have a problem staying alive for three days. There’s no use waiting around,” Uncle Drake said.
Fairy Doctor finally nodded.
But just as they were about to leave, she suddenly saw a faint red glow on the second floor of Soul Refining Tower. This meant that the person inside had made it to the second floor.
“Ahh!” Fairy Doctor cried out
Uncle Drake had noticed it too, and he too let out a surprised cry. “How did he manage to get to the second floor so soon? That’s impossible. Could he have rushed to the second floor because he couldn’t stand the first? But the thundering flames on the second floor were twice as strong as those on the first floor. Wouldn’t he die even sooner after going there?”
After Uncle Drake said this, Fairy Doctor became so nervous that her heart was about to leap out her chest. owever, before two minutes had even passed, the third floor of Soul Refining Tower had also lit up in red.
Uncle Drake’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What’s going on?”
“Isn’t this way too fast?”
Just as he said this, the fourth floor also lit up in red.
“He’s made it to the fourth floor! ” Fairy Doctor’s jaw dropped.
After a while, the fifth floor also lit up.
Uncle Drake couldn’t stay calm anymore. He started pacing around. “It’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. This kid is only at the golden core level of cultivation. How could he have made it to the fifth floor? Unless there’s something wrong with this Soul Refining Tower. It’s broken!”
However, Fairy Doctor wouldn’t believe it.
“Uncle Drake, this is a mystical tool, isn’t it? How could it break just like that?” she asked.
“In that case, do you mean that your lover has truly made it onto the fifth floor already… No, he’s already on the sixth floor. I must have seen a ghost. Back when Jade Benmore made it through Soul Refining Tower, it was because her physical qualities were unique. She wasn’t an ordinary cultivator, but it took her one entire day and night to make it through. However, this kid spent at most a quarter of an hour to get this far. Could he really be destined for something extraordinary?” Uncle Drake asked.
“That’s possible!” Fairy Doctor said in a worried and nervous manner.
Uncle Drake stopped speaking, and he also stopped walking. Both fixed their gazes on Soul Refining Tower.
When the seventh floor lit up, Alex began to slow down. He had stopped walking and now sat cross-legged on the ground. The number of thundering flames in his golden core was already massive, as were the runes from the ancient forbidden spell. The two elements mixed in Alex’s golden core like a grinding machine.
Alex felt very much in danger. It was as if his golden core could explode at any moment. He’d definitely not survive if his golden core exploded.
Right then, the Chaos Tree in his mind palace vibrated. A bout of chaos Chi energy rushed into his golden core.
In the next second, the ancient runes started becoming active as if oil had been poured over it. The ancient runes overpowered the thundering flames and continued to charge forward.
After that, Alex proceeded to move up the stairs. The seventh floor!
Once he arrived and absorbed the thundering flames there, the situation inside his golden core suddenly changed. The ancient forbidden spell had completed its engravement on his golden core. Alex could clearly sense the twelve rune symbols.
Right then, Alex felt that his cultivation had been increased by one level.
Oddly, there actually wasn’t a lightning tribulation!
Logically speaking, once he hit the limit, there should have been a tribulation!
“I don’t care anymore!”
“There’s one more floor!”
“Once I get to the ninth floor, I’ll have passed, and I’ll be able to leave Flying Eagles Academy to see my wife and babies!”
Alex stepped forward and entered the ninth floor. However, he was shocked by what he saw.
There weren’t any thundering flames up here. Instead, there was a completely naked woman!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1763
When Alex Rockefeller saw this woman before him, he was stunned.
Her body were attractive curves, her facial features poetically beautiful. Her long hair extended to her thighs like a magnificent waterfall, curling up just enough to cover up the parts that would make one blush. With legs as fair as jade, her stunning curvatures shocked his heart.
Alex had never seen such a beautiful woman. Even Dorothy Assex seemed to feel lacking when compared to her.
“No!”
It should be said that this woman before him didn’t look like a woman who belonged to the human world. That’s because she wasn’t human!
There was a horn above the sides of her ears. Soul Refining Tower’s purpose of existence was to refine demon souls.
In that case, this extremely beautiful and perfect woman with horns on her head was actually a demon. At this moment, she was lying silently on the ground as if she were asleep. However, the shocking part was the seven steel chains, which were the size of a human thumb, pinned to her body.
“It’s so cruel!” Alex exclaimed.
This was his first impression of the seven chains when he saw them. After that, Alex slowly moved closer. He realized that this female demon seemed to have died a long time ago.
“Sigh! Such a pity!”
The beautiful female demon still looked very young. She had actually died at the Soul Refining Tower. Alex wondered who had locked her in this place.
After taking a closer look and making sure that she wasn’t breathing at all, Alex didn’t care about her anymore. Instead, he pondered about how this was probably the highest floor, the ninth floor. But where was the exit? Would he still have to travel back to the main entrance on the first floor through the path he took here? After thinking carefully for a moment, it seemed fitting.
When people traveled and visited tall towers, didn’t they have to walk down the very same way they came up?
Wouldn’t they have to jump off the tower otherwise?
However, how could Alex prove that he made it to the ninth floor?
“Why don’t I take a picture with her?” Alex looked at the female demon.
When he entered the tower earlier, he had placed all his valuables in his storage bag. Since the storage bag could withstand the thundering flames, his belongings were all unharmed. Alex took his phone out. Although he couldn’t make any calls with this phone, he had kept it fully charged. There were ten power banks in his storage bag.
With the phone in hand, Alex opened the camera app and closed in on the female demon.
Since the female demon was lying down halfway, Alex needed to sit on the ground if he wanted to take the picture at a nice angle. After that, he casually sat in front of her stomach. On the one hand, he could block a lot of her exposed skin. On the other, he could also take a picture from a good angle. Alex sat with his back close to the female demon.
Just as he was about to press on the button to snap a picture, he suddenly heard a voice.
Clang, Clang, clang!
The seven steel chains pinned against the female demon’s body started vibrating intensely, and they made a rapid screeching sound.
“D*mn!”
The silent interior of Soul Refining Tower suddenly created a lot of noise. Alex was so startled that he scrambled onto his feet and jumped three steps away. He then looked at the female demon, nervous and dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on? Could this female demon still have a spiritual presence? Does she not like having her photo taken?’ he wondered.
Right then, Alex discovered that energy began to vibrate in the female demon’s body.
The energy grew increasingly stronger, and a life force aura began to form.
“Holy sh*t! What’s going on?” Alex gasped.
Right after that, the female demon slowly opened her eyes.
Alex was stunned.
The human and demon looked at each other!
Alex’s body froze. He didn’t know what to do. Meanwhile, the demon looked at Alex for an entire minute, stunned. In the end, she struggled to sit up. Slowly, an excited expression began to appear on her face. A tear gradually slid down.
For some unknown reason, Alex felt an exceptional pity toward her. Alex slowly walked forward. “Who are you? Why were you locked in here?” Alex asked.
The demon looked at Alex with tears in her beautiful eyes. “My lord, I’ve been waiting here for you for three thousand years. You’re finally here.”
“What did you say?” Alex asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1764
Alex Rockefeller’s mouth opened wide. After that, he came back to his senses. “Oh, do you mean that you’ve been trapped in here for three thousand years and that a living person like me has finally arrived? But that’s not right I was told that my Cheapskate master came here over a decade ago. I’m not the first to arrive,” Alex said.
The female demon shook her head. “My lord, I’ve been waiting for you.”
She stood up as she spoke.
With that, her long hair fell forward. As the two stood facing each other, Alex saw something that he wasn’t supposed to. He quickly turned his face away, not wanting to see her.
However, to Alex’s surprise, the female demon actually extended her hand and grabbed one of the steel chains on her body.
“Ahh!” she cried out loudly.
Alex jerked his head around. As a result, he saw that the female demon had actually forcefully plucked one of the steel chains out of her body. Suddenly, blood began flowing out of the wound on her abdomen. The blood wasn’t red. It was actually gold in color.
Right after that, the female demon grabbed the second steel chain.
“Argh!!!” she cried out once more in pain. The second steel chain had also been plucked out and tossed to the ground. Alex’s jaw dropped, and his eyes were wide open. However, he felt that he couldn’t let her continue doing this. He immediately retrieved his Dragon Bone Sword and activated the ancient runes around the sword. Instantly, it significantly enhanced the Dragon Bone Sword’s power.
“Stop! Don’t remove any more of the chains. Otherwise, I’ll have to start attacking you!” Alex yelled.
The female demon shook her head. “My lord, your sword can’t kill me! I’m not your enemy. I am your servant,” she said.
“What did you say?” Alex asked.
“Uggh!”
The demon pulled out another steel chain. This time, it was pulled out from her back. A colossal amount of blood oozed out.
“Stop it. Stop,” Alex said loudly.
The demon waved her hand. “Fine. Since my lord has asked for it, I’ll stop pulling them out! Come to think of it, my lord must be very confused. In that case, allow me to tell you a story!”
“Keep it short,” Alex said while holding his sword up.
“Alright. More than three thousand years ago, the endless abyss was opened. There was a huge massacre, and not even America was spared. l was originally a pure-blooded offspring of the Benares Dragons. However, all my tribesmen died in that huge battle. Meanwhile, I became the last surviving member of the Benares Dragon bloodline…” The female demon gently
waved her hand.
The scene changed before Alex’s eyes.
This was like what happened last time in Spiritual Valley Dungeon when Whitey, the white cat, showed him what happened during the battle years ago. Now, Alex was looking at an even larger scale of war.
‘The Undying Clan!’ he thought.
Like the annihilation of the people in Spiritual Valley Dungeon, the Benares Dragons were decimated by the even more powerful Undying Clan.
In the end, only one final soldier truly remained. The Benares Dragons fought as best they could to protect the sole pure-blooded offspring alive, who was also the stunningly beautiful female demon in front of Alex.
After that, Alex saw a woman. The woman was unlike any other in her full-bodied white armor.
She killed everyone in the Undying Clan on her own and rescued the female demon.
“Neela, the Benares Dragons should have never been annihilated! Today, I will seal away the entire Dragon King’s Grotto. All the dragon souls that died in the battle will be sealed in this place too!”
“I’ll also seal you inside Soul Refining Tower. You’ll wait for a person inside. He will be the fate of salvation for the Benares Dragons. After you meet him, you’ll follow him wherever he goes. The Benares Dragons will regain its former glory with that man’s help!” the woman said.
“How will I know who holds the fate of our tribe’s future?” Neela, who was the female demon, asked.
“You’ll wake up when you meet him,” the woman said.
The scene stopped playing right then. These were probably Neela’s memories before she was sealed away.
Alex looked at Neela for a long while before he spoke. “Do you have any clothes to wear?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1765
Did Neela have clothes?
Neela looked down at her body. She showed no emotion in her eyes and face.
‘Shame?’
‘Sorry! That’s impossible!’ she thought.
The human form was not how Benares Dragons looked like in their final form. Moreover, with the way the dragon tribe looked at this matter, natural beauty trumped all else. Being exposed was the nature of the dragons. Besides, Alex Rockefeller and the Benares Dragons were linked together by fate. Never mind being naked for Alex, Neela would be willing to cut out her flesh for him to feast on if that were what he wanted.
“No!” Neela yelled while shaking her head. She reached for one of the steel chains and pulled it out forcefully.
“Why did you put these chains on?” Alex asked.
“These are for sealing my body up. Even as one of the Benares Dragons, I can’t sustain myself after staying in Soul Refining Tower for so long. Besides, I had to spend three thousand years in this place! The only way I can thoroughly enter the sealed state is with these seven fairy chains,” Neela explained.
While speaking, Neela pulled out all seven of the chains from her body. A pool of golden blood had also accumulated on the ground. Neela gently lifted her hand and gathered all the blood on the ground. The blood dangled in front of her like a giant ball, and Neela slowly delivered it over to Alex. “My lord, from my observation of your aura, your current level of cultivation still isn’t very high. This pool of blood contains my natal blood essence. Also, I have been storing energy from the Soul Refining Tower for the past three thousand years. If you eat it, it’ll benefit you greatly. Meanwhile, we can also form a life contract. From then on, I’ll be your maid and always accompany you,” she said.
“Huh?” Alex sounded a little jittery.
Mainly, it was because he still didn’t trust Neela’s identity completely. Could this life contract come with some hidden conditions?
However, Neela waved her hand, and the ball of golden liquid directly entered Alex’s mouth. He couldn’t even fight back In fact, before he could react, the blood passed through his throat. After that, it even seeped into the rest of his body.
“You… Why did you….” Alex was shocked. He wanted to force the blood out of his body.
However, it was too late. The golden dragon blood didn’t go through his digestive system after entering his body. Instead, it entered his blood circulation directly through his veins and fused with his own blood. In an instant, Alex sensed the immense energy of the golden blood. After vibrating gently, his golden core that had been strengthened by the twelve runes of the ancient forbidden spell naturally absorbed the energy from the dragon blood.
Buzz… The energy vibrated.
Alex immediately felt as if his blood was coming to a boil. After that, it was almost as though he possessed an endless amount of energy. His physical body was going through reincarnation of sorts that he had never experienced before.
‘Dragon blood!’ Alex thought.
His body too suddenly had the attribute of dragon blood.
Alex could sense that his capabilities had been enhanced greatly after fusing with the dragon blood. Logically speaking, he should have induced a lightning tribulation and ascended to Nascent Soul rank after his golden core made a breakthrough.
‘Oh, I get it! It must be because of Soul Refining Tower. I need to leave Soul Refining Tower to induce Nascent Soul’s lightning tribulation!’ Just as Alex thought about this, he felt a new sensation.
‘Life contract.’
A brand appeared near his heart.
This was a soul imprint that existed in Neela’s blood essence. Alex could even detect Neela’s location, status, and what she was doing and thinking through this brand. The two seemed to be connected on the spiritual level.
However, this seemed to work in a single direction. Alex could sense Neela through the brand, but she couldn’t do the same unless Alex took the initiative to connect with her using the brand.
“My lord, do you have any other questions?” Neela looked at Alex and asked.
“Oh… Nothing else,” Alex said.
Previously, Alex was worried that Neela might secretly try to harm him. But now that the life contract had been established, Alex understood the more profound meaning within.
Naturally, he didn’t have any issues with it. However, something did come to his mind.
He was here to pass the Soul Refining Tower’s challenge.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1766
Now that Alex Rockefeller had made it to the ninth floor, he should have already passed the challenge. However, leaving this place with Neela would prove a little troublesome for him.
“Could you leave the Soul Refining Tower on your own?” Alex asked.
Neela shook her head. “There’s a seal that traps me here. I can only leave with you, my lord. In fact, I’m now your personal maid, and we share the same life source. We must be together at all times.”
“What?” Alex felt troubled when he heard this.
He was going to return home to see his wife and babies. How would he explain this beautiful dragon lady that was following him around?
However, right then, Neela suddenly began to transform. At first, her long, fair legs transformed into a dragon’s tail. After that, her body also transformed. In the end, even her head transformed, all to become a real dragon.
It was a majestic sight.
‘Beautiful!’ Alex thought.
Without seeing it personally, no one would believe that this dragon was a beautiful, fair maiden just a moment ago… Although Alex possessed thirty-six dragon bone swords, this was the first time he was looking at a living dragon.
It left him completely baffled.
After circling around Alex, Neela turned into a ray of light and entered his body. Alex was shocked. He quickly took off his shirt. Later, he noticed that a dragon tattoo had appeared on his back. It extended from his waist to his shoulders.
In fact, it even moved. Finally, a ray of light glistened under his skin, and it disappeared completely.
“Hey, Neela?” Alex asked.
“I’m here, my lord,” Alex immediately heard a reply.
“Can you sense what’s going on outside when you’re under my skin?” Alex asked.
“Yes!” Neela answered.
Now, Alex was starting to feel unsettled.
If this thing stayed on his body twenty four hours each day, didn’t it mean she could see everything clearly even when he took a bath or went to the toilet? In simpler terms, if Alex had sex with a woman, wouldn’t this thing become a highly efficient third wheel?
‘No way. I must get rid of her at some point. Otherwise, what would become of my privacy?’ Alex thought.
Meanwhile, Fairy Doctor and Uncle Drake, outside the Soul Refining Tower, had already been stunned speechless for a long time. In only about an hour, Alex had actually made it to the ninth floor of Soul Refining Tower.
Not only did he just break a record, it was the most outstanding performance in all of history.
“How… How did he do it?”
“Don’t ask me. I have no idea either.”
Just as the two were still in shock, the doors of Soul Refining Tower opened. But Alex hadn’t walked out yet.
Uncle Drake immediately walked up to the entrance and looked inside. In an instant, he was dumbfounded.
“Where are the thundering flames?” he asked.
“The thundering flames in Soul Refining Tower have disappeared!”
“This… What’s going on? Without the thundering flames, what’s the use of Soul Refining Tower?” Uncle Drake cried out in a slightly dispirited manner.
Right after that, he impatiently rushed to the second floor. Still, he didn’t find anything.
After running up to the third floor, there was still nothing.
The old man was about to go mad. When he made it to the sixth floor, he happened to see Alex walking down. Thus, Uncle Drake quickly ran over to Alex. “Did you see the thundering flames at the Soul Refining Tower? Could the Soul Refining Tower really be malfunctioning? Did all the thundering flames inside escape?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1767
“Ehh?” When Alex Rockefeller saw Uncle Drake, who seemed to be going mad, he quickly shook his head. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen any. It was like this when I came in. I was wondering why there weren’t any thundering flames inside. Looks like they’ve all escaped!” Alex said.
Alex was afraid of saying that his golden core had absorbed all the thundering flames inside. If he did that, the old man would surely not let him off the hook. Besides, Alex couldn’t expose the incident related to the twelve rune symbols of the ancient forbidden spell. Not only did he have to keep it a secret from these people before him, but he had to also hide it from his dearest wife and children.
The ancient forbidden spell was intolerable in the universe. Anyone who knew about this would be in danger in some way.
If someone greedy found out about this, the consequences were unthinkable.
Soon, Uncle Drake ascended floor by floor. There weren’t any thundering flames on any of the floors, and when he made it up to the ninth, it was still empty.
As for the chains that sealed Neela previously, Alex had kept them inside his storage bag. There wasn’t anything unusual up there.
“Nothing!”
“It’s really gone… The thundering flames have disappeared. What’s the use of this Soul Refining Tower now?” Alex didn’t see how downtrodden Uncle Drake looked.
Alex kept walking down the stairs. He saw Fairy Doctor at the second floor’s entrance.
When Fairy Doctor saw Alex coming down, she immediately rushed over and hugged him. “Alex, you’re fine! You made it. You’re really awesome! Jade managed to make it through back then, but it took her an entire day and night. I didn’t expect you to complete it within an hour…”
Fairy Doctor was extremely excited. She hugged him, pressed her mature body against him, and even kissed him forcefully on the lips. The kiss lasted for three minutes.
Only when Fairy Doctor heard Uncle Drake coughing behind her did she let go of Alex in an embarrassed manner. “Uncle Drake, why do you seem so uncomfortable?”
Could Uncle Drake not have an awful expression?
“The thundering flames in here have disappeared. Without the thundering flames, the Soul Refining Tower can’t be used to refine demon souls. This is practically an empty setup!” Uncle Drake bellowed while pointing at Alex. “Hence, this kid managed to get onto the ninth floor not with his own capabilities, but mere luck,” Uncle Drake added.
Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes. “Uncle Drake, luck is also a capability of sorts! Regardless of how it happened, Alex made it to the ninth floor. Hasn’t he passed the challenge? I think we should still issue him a graduation certificate and the points in accordance with the rules.”
Uncle Drake rolled his eyes oddly. “Ms. Dawn, are you forsaking your principles for your lover?”
Fairy Doctor continued to argue with reason. “Uncle Drake, you can’t say that. Frankly, this is what I think. Although there were no thundering flames in the Soul Refining Tower, and Alex did take advantage of it, it’s a good thing for the academy. That’s because we found out in advance that there weren’t actually thundering flames in Soul Refining Tower. Otherwise, we’d have
locked some souls from the demon tribe in this place. In the end, we would’ve realized that it wasn’t effective at all. On the other hand, we’d have given them time to recover. Once we open the doors, they’d rush out of the Soul Refining Tower. The outcome will be unimaginable. Hence, I think the academy should still give Alex some reward. How about this? We’ll give him 300,000 points.”
Uncle Drake’s eyes flew wide open.
“300,000? You might as well just say 300 million points,” he said.
“If that works, I’m fine with it,” replied Fairy Doctor.
“Hmph… Honestly, woman, you’re siding with outsiders now! Fine. A graduation certificate and 30,000 points. Kid, you’ve got it easy!” Uncle Drake said.
With that, Uncle Drake took out a token and tossed it over to Fairy Doctor.
Overjoyed, Fairy Doctor tugged at Alex to leave. She wanted to avoid Uncle Drake changing his mind.
Alex suddenly thought of an idea. “Uncle Drake, I’ve done quite a lot of research on spell formations. This Soul Refining Tower has a spell formation at the top. It might be related to the thundering flames in this place! Thundering flames are bound to be consumed as the number of soul refinement increases. As long as we lure heavenly thunder into this place, I think the thundering flames in the tower would probably be replenished again,” Alex said.
After saying that, Alex pulled Fairy Doctor along and left.
Uncle Drake’s eyes lit up. “This makes sense. This makes a lot of sense!”
***
By then, the sky had already turned dark.
Fairy Doctor and Alex held each other’s hands while they walked through the academy, not afraid of being too showy. However, when Fairy Doctor thought about how Alex would be leaving the academy right away, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad about his departure.
“Alex, to avoid Uncle Drake’s change of mind, we’ll head over to the academy’s administrative office right now to sort out your graduation certificate and points,” she said.
“Alright!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1768
Alex Rockefeller naturally agreed to it. “Dawn, does Uncle Drake hold a very high position in Flying Eagles Academy? He can approve something like this with a single token. He has even more authority than you do!” Alex asked after that.
“Of course. Don’t you know who he is?” Fairy Doctor asked.
“Of course, I don’t,” Alex said.
“He’s my stepbrother’s master,” Fairy Doctor said.
“Principal Henderson’s master?” Alex asked.
“That’s right. You can’t tell, can you? However, my brother surpassed his master, with his cultivation level exceeding Uncle Drake by leaps and bounds. Most importantly, my stepbrother is surrounded by capable people. He’s married five wives, and each of them is a world expert,” Fairy Doctor said.
Alex was stunned. “Five wives? Is he that powerful?”
“Yeah!” Fairy Doctor said.
“All five of his wives are world experts. How strong are they?” Alex asked.
“Have you heard of Old Moon Devil?” Fairy Doctor asked.
“Old… Old Moon Devil?” Alex nearly bit his tongue off.
‘Wasn’t this person Luna Flores’ mother?’
He didn’t think she’d be one of Principal Henderson’s wives.
Alex heard that Old Moon Devil was particularly fond of Maxwell Lawrence. She even helped him in countless ways, and she was set on marrying Luna off to him. However, Luna had now slept with Alex, and Maxwell was killed by Alex. Alex wondered if Old Moon Devil would come looking for him for revenge!
“Have you heard of her?” Fairy Doctor asked.
Alex nodded gently. “I’ve heard a few things,” he said.
“Don’t be fooled by Old Moon Devil’s horrible nickname. To be honest, my aunt is a rare beauty. Her original name is Metztli Flores. Her demonic powers are out of the world. However, her personality is a little difficult to grasp. It’s not easy to be around her,” Fairy Doctor said.
“Who else?” Alex asked.
“One of the Exorcist Dragons, Martiny Mayer!” replied Fairy Doctor.
“Erk-hem…” Alex was stunned again.
However, recalling that Luna was Freya Mayer’s older sister, this wasn’t all that surprising.
Before the remaining three were introduced, they’d arrived at the academy’s administrative office.
Although it was night, there were still people in the administrative office. Fairy Doctor retrieved the token and successfully obtained Alex’s graduation certificate. However, it stirred up quite a lot of attention.
After all, Alex had only just registered as a student of the department in the afternoon. There was even a record of it in the system. In the end, he managed to graduate within four hours.
It was practically a miraculous record.
“It’s too late now. You should go home tomorrow! I still want to listen to your sharing on alchemy,” Fairy Doctor said.
Alex nodded in agreement.
They returned to the bed that was made like a bathtub. With spiritual energy abound, Alex ended up sharing his thoughts on alchemy for half an hour. In the end, he noticed that Fairy Doctor wasn’t quite paying attention.
“What’s the matter with you?” Alex asked.
Fairy Doctor looked at him with a troubled expression on her face. “Alex, although I mentioned that we should remain as teacher and student, can we be something else just for tonight?”
“Huh? What do we become?” Alex asked.
“We’ll become a couple,” Fairy Doctor said while she pushed him over.

Meanwhile, Michael Lawrence returned to the home of Oregon’s Lawrence family.
Before he even walked through the door, Michael’s illness resurfaced. He hugged a pine tree in front of the house and started confessing his love for it while he kissed it. Colton Lawrence and his wife were both stunned when they saw this. They became drenched in cold sweat.
“Spencer, what’s going on?” one of them asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1769
Soon, his injury worsened.
When Michael’s mother, Petunia Lawrence, saw her son behaving like a lunatic, and the blood seeping through his pants, she felt as though her heart was cut open.
She only had two sons in this lifetime. Someone had probably killed her younger son not too long ago.
Now, all her hopes were on her older son. He was also the person she cared about the most in her lifetime. Little did she know, after just a few days, this happened to her older son. He hadn’t even gotten married yet, and he didn’t have any children. What would they do if something happened to him and affected his ability to have children?
Colton Lawrence quickly rushed to pulled Michael over. However, Michael’s mind had been affected by a supreme form of hypnosis. He wouldn’t allow anyone to stop him from doing what he did.
Michael immediately started shouting like a madman while he punched and kicked around. He even showed his father an incomparably ferocious expression. “Let go of me! Let go of me! I want my romantic moment with Fairy Doctor. I want to marry her and have children with her. Whoever dares to stop me will be my greatest enemy! I will kill you and your entire family! Arghhh!”
Colton wouldn’t let go. Michael even bit Colton’s wrist.
Frowning deeply, Colton’s anger had already reached its maximum point. He stared at Spencer Queen. “What happened? Who did this? Did Fairy Doctor do it? What did she do to my son?”
“Spencer, you piece of dog sh*t! Hurry up and speak! Did that b*tch, Dawn Winslet, do this? What did she do to my son?” Petunia Lawrence yelled.
“This is all very strange. My guess is that Jade Benmore’s disciple did it,” Spencer quickly said.
“Jade’s disciple?” Colton and Petunia jumped when they heard this.
They quickly asked Spencer about what happened.
Spencer told them everything he knew. “My guess is that Michael has become like this possibly because there’s something wrong with him on a mental and spiritual level. His illness erupts every hour. I’ve tried timing it, and it’s very accurate. Not a second more, and not a second less. After he wakes up, it’ll happen after exactly an hour. ”
Colton’s gaze turned cold. “This means that someone must’ve put a curse on Michael. Or it might be hypnosis or some psychological hint. Otherwise, it might be a kind of sealing spell in his soul. Is Jade’s trashy disciple capable of this?”
“Fairy Doctor is only accomplished in alchemy. She’s not very good with stuff on the mental and spiritual level. On top of that, she was drugged at the time, and she was unconscious. Hence, it couldn’t be her. The only person around was Alex Rockefeller! He isn’t capable of this on his own, but Jade must have given him some kind of trump card. I suspect that when
Maxwell was killed, his soul was also affected by something. Otherwise, someone with his cultivation couldn’t possibly be killed in an instant without even having the slightest bit of resistance.”
Petunia became extremely furious when she heard this. She kicked the door forcefully, and a large hole appeared in it. “It’s that Rockefeller b*stard again. He stole Maxwell’s wife away and killed him. Now, he stole the woman Michael liked and created this mess in our family. I can’t let him get away with this!”
Petunia’s expression was ferocious. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
In the end, she really did spit out a mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile, Michael’s maddening state even made Colton’s heart ache. Colton, too, couldn’t hold back his rage and murderous intent. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the house was affected.
Boom!
Half of the villa crumbled to the ground.
“I want him dead. I’m going to kill his entire family!” Colton yelled.
“But, big brother, Jade…” Spencer said.
Colton snorted. “We won’t have to worry about Jade. She and her men have entered the deepest part of Myriad Demon Valley. They definitely won’t make it out alive. To a certain extent, she and her men won’t die in vain. They’ve already cleared out all the demon beasts near Land No.39. The 10,000 tons of spiritual stones belong to us now.”
“Is Jade really dead?” Spencer asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1770
“She’s dead without a doubt!” Colton Lawrence replied.
Spencer Queen had an ambiguous expression on his face. “Big brother, if Jade Bemnore dies, the morale of Flying Eagles will certainly take a significant impact. I’m truly worried that the ancient boundary’s life of defense can’t be maintained. If that happens, a huge disaster will be upon us.”
Colton snorted coldly. “Do you think the ancient boundary will be fine with Jade around? It’s pointless. In half a year’s time, the defense will still fail. But without Jade standing in the way, our Left-wing Troops will be able to develop rapidly. There certainly won’t be an issue with protecting ourselves!”
Spencer finally nodded. After that, he told Colton about what Michael Lawrence said to him.
Michael also wanted Alex Rockefeller dead. In fact, he tried to annihilate Alex’s entire family.
“Now that Jade is nearly dead, why should we still be afraid of him? Spencer, I’m ordering you to find out about everyone related to him, his lover, friends, and close neighbors included. I want all of them captured, and I want them to pay for what they did with their lives in remembrance of my son,” Petunia Lawrence announced fiercely.
Spencer immediately nodded. “Yes, Madam!”
As soon as Spencer left, Colton made a phone call. “Dr. Wyrmherst, come over immediately. Something’s happened to my son.”
Dr. Wyrmherst’s full name was Maoi Wyrmherst. He was the designated doctor of the Left-wing Troops, and he was over seventy years old. His medical skills were undoubtedly much better than Wallace Yoke of America.
Wallace got his reputation for treating common citizens, and he became a household name through word of mouth. Wallace’s title as the best imperial doctor, however, really seemed like a joke to Maoi.
Maoi’s medical skills included methods related to cultivation. For someone who could even heal cultivators, he could easily heal the ordinary.
When Dr. Wyrmherst was summoned by Colton, he instantly rushed over. He immediately caught wind about what was going on when he saw the state Michael was in. “Sir, someone has used soul hypnosis on Michael. I can see grey energy in his soul. This is what’s been causing this ruckus.”
“Dr. Wyrmherst, is there a way to cure this?” Petunia asked.
Dr. Wyrmherst pondered for a moment. “It’s not a huge problem. I’ve bumped into this kind of hypnosis on the spiritual level a few times in the past. He’ll regain a clear mind once I get rid of that external ball of energy with my mental strength.”
Instantly, Petunia sighed in relief. “I’ll have to trouble you with that, Dr. Wyrmherst.”
Dr. Wyrmherst smiled. “You’re far too polite. It’s my pleasure to be of service to Michael.”
Soon, Dr. Wyrmherst instructed Colton and Petunia to hold Michael, who was struggling and shouting, while he focused his mental strength with a secret technique. Gradually, his mental strength seeped into Michael through his spiritual pressure point. Then, just as Dr. Wyrmherst was about to get rid of the ball of grey energy, he suddenly felt as if the grey energy in Michael’s spiritual pressure point had detected him. After that, the grey energy turned into a ray of light and rammed forcefully into Dr. Wyrmherst’s soul.
Buzz…
All of a sudden, Dr. Wyrmherst felt as though his brain was about to explode. He let out a loud shriek and spat out a mouthful of
blood.
Colton was shocked. “Dr. Wyrmherst, how did it go? What happened?”
In the next moment, Colton and his wife were shocked by what they were witnessing.
Dr. Wyrmherst was actually mumbling to himself. “Fairy Doctor, Fairy Doctor, I love Fairy Doctor…”
After that, he rushed over to the tree Michael was hugging earlier, and he started kissing it fiercely.
Petunia’s jaw dropped, and her eyes were wide open. “Is… Is this thing actually contagious?”
