Chapter 951


    Maxine was adopted by Tobias.


    Tobias taught her everything she knew about martial arts from the time she was a child.It was not in her


    nature to disobey him.


    There was no doubt in her mind that this day woulde.


    However, things were progressing faster than she expected.


    Tobias leaned back in his chair and let out a wistful sigh.


    "My first encounter with the Blithes was 20 years ago when I went to the Enchanted Forest in search of


    medicinal materials.The person I met at that time was Ezra Blithe.We exchanged blows over a rare


    medicinal herb, and it was there where I witnessed his otherworldly skills..."


    Tobias’ eyes zed over as he recalled the past.


    The battle 20 years ago came back to him.


    Even after 20 years, the memory was fresh to him as if it had taken ce just yesterday.


    "The Blithe Fist of Abomination is an extraordinary technique.That fight almost cost me my life.For the


    past 20 years, I’ve tried toe up with various ways to counter it, but to no avail."


    Maxine immediately followed up.


    "Grandpa, if I’m understanding correctly, you want me to marry into the Blithes and obtain their support


    for the uing martial arts conference.Do you want me to utilize this opportunity to infiltrate their


    family and steal the Blithe Fist of Abomination technique? "


    Tobias nodded, eyes twinkling with ambition.


    "It''d be best if we’re able to win them over.In the event that we cannot do so and we end up incurring


    their wrath, they will make a terrible enemy.In order to win a hard-fought battle, one must have a


    thorough knowledge of their enemy.Obtaining their technique will give us one measure to counter them


    with."


    "Alright.I understand."


    Maxine nodded.


    Tobias waved his hand and said, "You must be exhausted after working all this while.Go down and


    have a rest."


    "I shall take my leave then, grandpa."


    Maxine nodded and walked away.


    Meanwhile, in Cansington...


    Once he returned home, James immediately fell into a deep slumber.He slept all the way until evening.


    After groggily rolling out of bed, James walked down the stairs.


    Thea had arrived earlier and was having a chat with Cynthia, sharing a bit of her cultivation knowledge.


    Despite being at the third rank and having some basic understanding of cultivation, she was more


    knowledgeable than Cynthia who had just started off.


    Thea’s face lit up when she saw James walking down the stairs.She called out to him sweetly, "Honey!


    You''re finally awake."


    James nodded at her greeting and took a seat.


    Cynthia looked over at him and asked, "James, I have some questions about cultivation.Would you


    mind if I asked you a little bit about them?"


    "What kind of questions? Ask away," James offered helpfully.


    Cynthia brought up her questions, and James diligently answered them.However, he had only


    cultivated True Energy not long ago and was not very experienced in cultivation.

    Thus, he only exined what he thought was correct.Thea also listened attentively, nodding attentively


    at James’ words.


    That night, Thea refused to leave.


    Initially, James had asked her to return home, but she insisted on staying.


    On top of that, she wanted to share a room with James.


    Cynthia was aware that these two were once married.


    Although they had purportedly divorced, whatever this was was between James and Thea, and had


    nothing to do with her.


    Seeing no other reason to stay up, she left them to their business and went to bed early.


    On the second floor, James’ room.


    James sat in front of his desk and carefully skimmed the contents of his medical book.


    The Crucifer was the main focus of the Medical Book Volume Two.


    Aside from texts about the Crucifer, a set of martial arts techniques was also detailed towards the end


    of the book.


    As of now, James had only nced through it briefly and had not studied it in depth.


    Since he now had the time, he nned to meticulously pore over every word.


    Although True Energy was the foundation of cultivation, one’s martial arts skills were as equally


    important.


    Thea walked out of the shower.She wrapped her body in a towel, exposing her milky neck and slender


    arms.She dried her hair using another towel.


    Seeing James in deep concentration over his book, she walked over and peered at what he might be


    looking at.


    "Honey, have you already grasped the martial art technique in the medical book?"


    James could not help but put down the book and ask her in a skeptical tone, "You’ve been with my


    grandfather for quite some time now.Has he read the medical book before?"


    "Yes."


    Thea did not deny it.She nodded and said, "He did read it.However, grandpa said that this book will


    only be useful for you and that no one else can apply the knowledge recorded in its pages since they


    don’t possess the Crucifier."


    A chuckle escaped Thea''s lips as she brought up the subject of the Crucifier.


    "It was so stupid of me before.I can''t believe I dried my underwear with the Crucifier."
