After saying this, Walton Greer stood up and left the meeting room.


    Star watched Walton Greer walk away, staying quiet and not saying anything.


    ——


    Meanwhile, I was still getting instruction from Paul Randall.


    The Nine Secrets were incredibly mysterious techniques. Any single one could be called a top-tier skill that would boost someone''s fighting power big time.


    Paul Randall transferred almost everything he''d learned in his lifetime into my divine sense.


    As time passed, Paul Randall got more and more shocked!


    Because I was learning the secrets way too fast!


    It seemed like even the Nine Secrets weren''t as tough for me as the legends imed!


    "This kid really is a genius," Paul Randall thought to himself.


    Actually, the process of me receiving the inheritance was incredibly painful too.


    It felt like trying to wolf down ten buns in one go, giving me this overwhelming sense of being stuffed.


    Sweat kept dripping from my forehead, and my head felt ufortably swollen.


    But even with all that, I showed no signs of stopping to rest.


    "If you really can''t handle it, take a break," Paul Randall noticed my pain.


    But I quickly shook my head: "No need, Mr. Paul Randall. The faster I learn, the safer I''ll be."


    Seeing this, Paul Randall didn''t say anything more.


    In the blink of an eye, a week had gone by.


    And I had already mastered eight of the Nine Secrets!


    All soldiers fight with arrays and formations!


    What I was missing was thest secret, the line word form!


    "Om"


    As I tried to understand the ninth secret, there was suddenly this humming in my head, and my entire head felt like it was about to explode!


    Under this impact, Paul Randall''s divine sense got knocked out.


    I felt only darkness in front of me, a wave of nausea.


    I copsed to the ground, waving my hand: "I can''t do it. I don''t think I can master all the Nine Secrets at once."


    Paul Randall got up, stroked his beard, and said: "Learning eight secrets in a week, this speed is already pushing it."


    I gave a bitter smile. Even if I wanted to keep going, my body couldn''t take it.


    "You can try using the Nine Secrets you''ve learned," Paul Randall said casually.


    I nodded quickly.


    I slowly stood up, then tried to use the Character fighting form in actualbat!


    The Character fighting form, ording to legend, massively boosts someone''s strength!


    When using the Character fighting form, someone''s strength can increase by more than ten times!


    Like the Nine Secrets, the Character fighting form is also divided into stages, from first to ninth rank.


    After mastering the Character fighting form to the ninth rank, someone''s strength can increase several times or even a hundred times!


    That said, the growth rate of any of the Nine Secrets is extremely slow, and almost no one can master them to a hundred times!


    Even Paul Randall, who had the Nine Secrets for many years, was now only at the first-rank Character fighting form!


    "If I can train the Character fighting form to its peak, even if I haven''t stepped into the Martial Saint realm, I can still fight against Martial Saints," I looked at Paul Randall.


    Paul Randall nodded slightly: "That''s right. You don''t need to master it to the ninth rank, the third rank will do."


    "Of course, the difficulty of mastering the third rank is no less than stepping into the Martial Saint realm."


    I nodded slightly andughed: "Either way, having the Character fighting form gives me another way to survive."


    After saying that, I didn''t waste any more time and activated the Character fighting form!


    My hands slowly moved through the air, and then in my palms, a big character formed: Fight!


    The moment I used the Character fighting form, I felt my breath surge rapidly!


    Under this breath, my strength instantly became more than ten times stronger!


    "What incredible power!" I looked down at the energy bursting from my body and couldn''t help but widen my eyes!


    With the Character fighting form backing me up, using the Ten Thousand Spell Breaking Punch, I had no idea what kind of power would explode!


    I slightly adjusted my internal energy, and the Golden Light burst from my body.


    "Ha!"


    With a soft shout from my mouth, I gathered my strength in my fist and suddenly punched forward!


    "Boom!"


    More than half of the entire forest got destroyed instantly!


    The whole mountain copsed in the blink of an eye!


    This made me widen my eyes!


    I looked down at my fist and whispered, "Is this really my strength?"


    Paul Randall, however, gave a wry smile: "Alright, if you throw another punch, I''m afraid there won''t be anywhere for us to live here."


    I scratched my head sheepishly. Feeling the surging power in my body, I was full of confidence for a moment.


    "Mr. Paul Randall, with the Character fighting form backing me up, do you think I can try fighting against a Martial Saint?" I asked.


    Paul Randall shook his head: "Theoretically, this is impossible, because Martial Saints have given birth to a nascent soul, and with the primordial spirit escaping, it''s apletely different realm from the Golden Core Stage."


    I nodded slightly, muttering to myself: "That''s true, but with this kind of power, I really want to try my hand against a Martial Saint."


    "It''s better to avoid it as much as possible," Paul Randall waved his hand.


    Just as we were talking, I suddenly felt the power of the Character fighting form rapidly fading.


    My face changed, and I frowned: "Mr. Paul Randall, what''s going on? My power..."


    Paul Randallughed: "For such a heaven-defying technique, maintaining it for five minutes is more than enough."


    "That''s true..." I murmured quietly.


    Any strength boost brought about by a technique ultimately doesn''t belong to yourself and will always have a moment when it disappears.


    "But it''s enough." Iughed.


    "When I have time, I need to try enhancing the Character fighting form."


    Just as we were talking, Paul Randall and my faces changed slightly.


    Both of us sensed an eerie and powerful aura at the same time!


    "Someone''sing!" Paul Randall and I almost spoke the words at the same time!


    Paul Randall said seriously: "Hide."


    I nodded, and just as I was about to find a ce to hide, Walton Greer''s voice came from all directions.


    "Hehe... So Mason Raymond is here..." Walton Greer''s gloomy voice reached both our ears.


    "It seems that Star''s sin is even worse than we thought..."


    "Not only did he let Paul Randall go, he also sheltered Mason Raymond..."


    As he spoke, Walton Greer''s figure appeared in front of us.


    My eyes narrowed, my face cold: "Walton Greer, it''s you!"


    Walton Greer licked his lips and said: "Tsk, tsk, you two geniuses... I suppose your contribution to my growth will be beyond imagination..."
