Not much, but enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his hand rose a smell he leaned into.

odor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pure fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ancient herbs distilled over centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, the real Nine way cleansing exilir is like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overjoyed, he quickly swallowed the

able to vent his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill slid down his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes slightly, waiting—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for the surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing the pill, not only did he not feel any changes in his body, but the previously disappeared pain reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like something twisting inside his gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils shrank instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this another fucking poison?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought hit him like a thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind reeled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid couldn’t possibly unlock the Nine Palaces Lock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a secret only known to the Obsidian Wing organization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Julian D’Aurelius—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way he should know this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Julian, who had been panicking just moments ago, now wore a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just... calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like someone watching a trap finally snap shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this guy hadn’t chased after him, they could have coexisted peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian let out a quiet breath through his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of coldness passed through his golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had come so eagerly and even swallowed the pill in haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t Julian’s fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pill might not kill Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it would definitely severely affect his combat ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in a fight like this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he couldn’t blame him for being ruthless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian’s fingers tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle shift—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian—decisively clenched his fist and charged at Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between them vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their combat abilities roughly equal, he had the undestroyable Barrier Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage was his!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air between them seemed to compress—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the poison spreading in his body, Lucas was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heartbeat spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles tightened—but not with strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was fighting something inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something invading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured the last two specially made antidote pills from his body into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crushed them between his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he clashed fists with Julian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact rang out like a dull explosion in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bone met bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Force collided with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shockwave rippled outward, stirring dust and scattering loose gravel across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the punch, both took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian’s foot slid half a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas, however—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His step was heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his weakened state, Lucas was slightly at an advantage, being at the peak of the Silver Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A starved camel is still bigger than a horse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the previous poison hadn’t been completely neutralized, and now he had new poison in his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his body, chaos was spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy clashed against toxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Control slipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this dire situation, continuing to fight would only lead to his loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That realization came fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold and Clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreat entered his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to flee, he saw Yana Tyson approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure emerged from the dim light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long black hair moved softly with the night breeze, and those bright orange eyes... they locked onto the scene ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief flashed through his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help had
