Chapter 89 Grand Departure?

During the feast, Liam spent his time consolidating his cultivation.

For his essence cultivation, he experienced a growth of two levels, entering level 3 of the human lord realm.

For martial arts, he made the highest growth of six levels, and he even reached the peak stage of the radiant heart realm, meaning that he was just a step away from entering the human lord realm.

"My goal of being a perfect dual cultivator will be accomplished sooner or later as long as I focus more on studying more martial arts and increase my knowledge of the ones I already have." But, still, my knowledge is narrow; I need to widen it a little. "Rogue cultivators usually have higher chances of becoming powerful martial artists because they have more stolen martial arts techniques in their knowledge box." Liam sighed as he walked toward the strength measuring device.

It was only available in top clans and sects; even the highest-grade Noble family is unable to get their hands on one.

The reason one was here is because the Gregor family has already been of high rank, and now it was ascending to a clan. As a reward, the strength measuring device was gifted to them by the king.

Having clans increase the number and reputation of a kingdom is something that calls for a feast.

Liam walked closer.

The device measuring device was a hard rock. It has a rocky green crystal color all around its body, and a very soft metal component was added at the middle.

Although it was his first time using it, he was able to tell that the soft metal component was the right place to punch.

He balled his hands into a fist and struck at it.

Ding!

After the sound, a smoky number appeared.

23 PP (punch power)

"One punch power is equal to one thousand kilograms, meaning that punch just now weighs more than 22 thousand kilograms; on earth, that's impossible; even the best boxers don't have a punch power quarter of this," Liam smiled.

He only wanted to test the strength behind his weakest punch, and it was already twenty-three.

At the peak stage of the radiant heart realm, a martial artist is expected to wield a punch power of 50.

He tested it with the other hand, and the result was slightly higher at 28 punch power.

After testing his weak punches on both hands, Liam then decided to test them with more force.

He balled his first tightly and moved his muscles in the right direction, then struck forward.

This time, the Ding sound it made was louder, almost sounding as loud as an explosion, and it drew the attention of those close by; they drew out their weapons and rushed into the room.

But their mouths were opened in shock once they noticed the number displayed on the device.

99

"99, with just one remaining from exerting the full strength of a level 5 human lord."

They were so surprised, but Liam, who was used to such attention since he was a kid and was as poor as a church rat in his previous life, was unfazed.

He added more strength to his hands and used the other hand, exerting a powerful force that ended up resulting in his punch power increasing by twenty.

"From the look of things, my right hand has the most punch power." Liam thought.

If he shows too much of his strength to them, he might end up with unnecessary people following him around.

Just as he thought, a man with a long beard walked over and placed his hands on his shoulder.

Liam felt his shoulder going numb for some time; the strength of this person was too much.

'ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v) e lBin ᴏɴʟʏ.',

For the second time, he really felt the difference between his strength and that of others.

From his perspective, this old geezer might have reached the peak stage of the human lord realm, or maybe he was transcending the human powerhouse.

"Young man, your martial arts talent is excellent." "I'm the second elder of the Myriad Path martial arts sect, an earth-grade sect in Tianwu kingdom; if you don't mind, I can take you as a direct disciple, and your status in the sect will only be inferior to that of core disciples."

The others were stunned; the Myriad Path martial arts sect was a famous sect, and the current emperor has received lessons from them before. Only a sect with fame and reputation could garner the attention of the emperor.

"I wrote the exam last year and joined in the battle stage entrance exam, but I was unable to enter the sect even as an outer court disciple," a young man with two spears strapped in his back said with a voice filled with envy.

Liam looked at the old geezer. An earth grade sect was a good start for a martial artist, but he didn't want to focus more on the martial arts path and neglect the essence path thus.

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to reject your offer." He said politely that, for now, he didn't feel like offending someone more powerful.

The old geezer wasn't offended; he brought out a token and passed it over.

"As a very young cultivator, I understand that you don't want to be tied down to one place; this is my sect invitation token; if you have thought things through and you have decided to settle down in a sect and you think ours is okay, you can come to the sect with this and you will be allowed to see me; my invitation is still the same."

Liam nodded his head as he received the token and kept it in his inventory. Seeing the room filled with people, he had to excuse himself.

On his way out, he met with Xavier, who came to inform him that Emerald and Julian have arrived in the Gregor family.

He also gave him other details.

"Gregor has finally decided to make things right by marrying Mom; that's great." Liam gave his honest view of the matter.

Xavier escorted him to the feast hall where the wedding along with the clan inauguration was going on; it was large, spacious, and well ventilated, with oxygen mixed with the aroma of different delicacies and perfumes from noble women.

Far in the midst of the crowd were the nearly wedded couples, clan patriarch Gregor and clan matriarch Emerald.

Emerald had a bright smile on her face as she held hands with her husband and the clan leader of the clan.

She smiled at Liam, and he reciprocated the smile. Julian saw him from afar and rushed to hug him, a look of tenderness in her eyes as she looked into his, which he found extremely cute.

It wasn't news anymore; Julian is going to grow up to be a really beautiful lady in the future, and then there will be a lot of ballsy brats coming to ask her out on a date.

At that time, if he were to be around, he would definitely give them a pretty hard time.

He did not have a sister in his previous life, but he knew that having one was a precious gem that one couldn't easily let go of, especially to someone who's not trustworthy.

He patted her head lovingly, a smile on his face as he thought of the way he was going to make those males suffer in the future.

Gregor saw Liam in the crowd, but he was ashamed of himself and averted his gaze somewhere else.

Liam walked through the crowd and arrived close to the couple.

The crowd looked at him in awe; he was a rare genius that even the king wishes to have as a relative and a friend.

Most of the nobles here right now could recall that day when he left the clan.

Most of them felt that Gregor was cursed for having the guts to send such an enviable genius away.

"Old man, don't try averting my gaze each time I'm around. Don't worry; I am not a fool to keep grudges against someone like you. I don't have anything, as long as my mom and little sister are okay. He said it with a grin.

Gregor could not help but break into sweat for the weight of Liam's words were too great, just like his strength.

He recalled the photo of his transformation into the blood demon, but that photo was still so distant that he could not dare recall it at this moment.

"I promise that I'll protect them with all my life and resources." He promised, before the whole crowd.

Liam nodded and gave Emerald a thumbs up. He saw Julian nudging at his legs.

He crunched down and patted her head and gave her a peck on her forehead.

"Julian, this one right here will be away for some time; promise me one thing." that you be okay and grow stronger in the future to protect mom."

Julian pouted cutely before giving him a cheeky smile and lifting her pinky finger; Liam lifted his as well, and both of them made a pinky promise to each other.

Liam stood upright and gave a thumbs up to Xavier and Galen. Emelia was standing close to the two with a blush on her cheek.

After that, Liam took out a teleportation spell paper and used it before the eyes of everyone, disappearing completely from the crowd.
