Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mike was also a little confused as to what special qualities he possessed. Why was he recognized by the Way of the King and obtained this high-level power that could destroy everything?

Just as Mike was deep in thought, Akari’s voice sounded softly from the side. He looked at Mike and said, “We are here. The teacher’s residence is in front of us. We can go up first.”

Mike nodded.

The two walked to the door of the Dark High Priest. Akari bowed to the door and said, “Mike is here.”

Mike also bowed to the room and said, “I am Mike.”

Suddenly, a bright white light flashed in front of Mike, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

Mike clutched his chest and climbed up. His expression became very strange. He felt anger, but he did not dare to show it.

He knew that this top-tier powerhouse had explored his body. He just did not know how much of his secret had been exposed.

Mike opened his eyes slightly. There was endless darkness and a deathly silence around him. Only a beam of light shone from above, illuminating the one-foot radius around him.

A magnetic voice sounded in Mike’s ear. He said, “Are you very angry?”

Mike’s expression returned to a calm state. He said, “Anyone who has such an encounter will feel angry. Don’t you think so?”

The Dark High Priest said, “That’s indeed the case. How about this, in order to express my apology, I can first agree to one condition of yours. I can even save you at a critical moment. However, I feel that you don’t need this condition. If there is an enemy that your teacher can’t deal with, then it will be difficult for me to go.”

Mike was a little surprised by the Dark High Priest’s evaluation of Teacher Kelly. However, when he heard the Dark High Priest’s words, his anger also dissipated.

Mike cupped his hands and said, “You must be joking. It’s just a small matter. Let’s just forget it.”

The Dark High Priest softly nodded and said, “In that case, if you have any needs, feel free to look for Akari or Ma Nan. As long as it’s not too excessive, they will agree to you.”

Mike was extremely surprised, but he still cupped his hands and said, “Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

The surroundings suddenly lit up. More than 100 futons suddenly appeared around Mike. On each futon sat a person, male or female, old or young, the High Priest, Sherlock, Catherine, and Shirley, who had fought with Mike Last Night, were among them.

Mike narrowed his eyes and used his heart to investigate their strength. He was surprised to find that he could only detect a weak breath even though the 100 people were right in front of him. The strangest thing was that the breath did not come from one person. Instead, it came from the breathing of more than 100 people. In other words, the breathing of more than 100 people was at the same frequency without any difference.

A huge wave surged in Mike’s heart. He could not imagine what kind of tacit understanding these hundred people had. If they fought together, what kind of formidable combat strength would they unleash.

Mike’s expression was captured by the Dark High Priest. He was very satisfied with the performance of his student. He smiled at Mike and said, “Mike, these are the Church of Darkness’s vanguard. There are a few familiar faces here. Wait until you meet these seniors in private.”

Mike cupped his hands and saluted. The group of people did not dare to be negligent. They quickly stood up and saluted Mike back.

Although the group was saluting him, he felt several hostile gazes too.

Mike chuckled and ignored these gazes.

The Dark High Priest cleared his throat and said, “Let’s not waste time. I’ll teach first, and then you seniors and juniors will spar with each other. Mike, sit next to Akari.”

The Dark High Priest pointed at the futon and motioned Mike to sit there.

Mike took a step and sat next to Akari. He immediately felt countless gazes fall on his back. He sighed lightly and ignored these gazes again.

He understood that if he could not bring out the corresponding strength, then he would probably be marginalized immediately.

The Dark High Priest began to teach. Mike listened very carefully. The Dark High Priest explained the common problems in recovery. After listening to it, Mike felt as if he had sudden enlightenment.

Four hours passed very quickly. The Dark High Priest stretched his back and adjusted his divine power to make himself more comfortable. He said, “You can start sparring amongst yourselves. You may volunteer. Don’t be embarrassed.”

Mike smiled bitterly as he bowed to the Dark High Priest. From his point of view, all he needed to do was to call out his name.

He stood up and said, “May I know which senior is willing to teach me a thing or two?”

“Me!”

Dozens of voices sounded at the same time, and the place instantly fell silent.

The Dark High Priest pointed at a young man and said, “Snow Leopard, are you blind? You’re almost a high-level four-star, and you still have the nerve to challenge Mike?”

Snow Leopard said, “I’m willing to suppress my strength to the same level as you, Mike. I’m here to spar with you.”

The Dark High Priest narrowed his eyes and said, “Even if you’re willing to do this, Mike might not be willing. Are you going to force him?”

Mike smiled bitterly and took a step forward, saying, “I’m willing to spar with senior Snow Leopard.”

A sharp light flashed in Snow Leopard’s eyes. He cupped his fists at Mike and said, “Since you’re willing to do me the honor, Mike, that would be great.”

Mike returned the salute. The Dark High Priest stretched out his hand and pointed. A blue light flashed, and the two were teleported to another place.

Both sides quickly drew their divine powers. Mike took the initiative and summoned the Black Dragon to transform into a longbow. He shot ten arrows in a row, blocking Snow Leopard’s path.

Snow Leopard stopped in mid-air. The ten arrows brushed past his body and exploded behind him.

Mike looked at Snow Leopard and was surprised by his powerful body control.

In the next second, Snow Leopard moved. It transformed into a 100-foot-long beast. It carried the wind and snow and pounced towards Mike. In an instant, it arrived in front of Mike.

“So fast!!”

Mike’s body moved completely by instinct, and he barely dodged the attack of Snow Leopard.

Looking at Mike’s performance, Akari could not help but praise him.

“Mike, with only one arm, you are actually on par with Snow Leopard. Moreover, Mike, you have obviously experienced countless life-and-death battles, and your awareness is also first-class.”

A disdainful snort came from the crowd. Akari glanced in that direction and said, “Do you think what I said is wrong?”

That person hurriedly stood up to apologize.
