The greed in his heart fueled his murderous intent towards Blaze Regret even further. The Shadow Thunder Spirit had only been severely injured, and with enough Thunder Soul Beads to support it, it wouldn’t take long to restore it to peak condition.

“The first place spot is yours. Now, you may choose any ten items,” Kartis Ben said in a deep voice, suppressing his inner astonishment.

“Elder Kartis, that’s not quite fair, is it?” Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Lifting his head, Blaze Regret said with a cheerful smile, “Let’s exchange these items at the rate of one item per hundred Thunder Soul Beads.”

The dazzling Thunder Soul Beads hung like a river above Blaze Regret’s head, slowly undulating. To the naked eye, it was spectacular. Compared to this river, the sparse Thunder Soul Beads in front of Song Fan and the others seemed particularly awkward.

“Exchange them all?”

The corners of Kartis Ben’s aged face twitched slightly, and his expression was a bit stiff. Considering that it takes one hundred Thunder Soul Beads to exchange for a reward, even if Kartis Sham took out all his items and exchanged them for Thunder Soul Beads, it wouldn’t necessarily shorten that river of beads by half.

Seeing Kartis Ben’s troubled expression, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Blaze Regret’s mouth. Isn’t your Kartis Family known for its wealth and power? Even if you stake your entire family, you might not be able to match my river of thunder.

The value of a single Thunder Soul Bead is no less than any second grade spiritual medicine!

“Blaze Regret…”

Sitting next to Kartis Sham, Kartis Kian’s gaze was as sharp as a cold blade, staring at the figure under the river of thunder. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Blaze Regret was deliberately trying to embarrass the Kartis Family.

“Young Blaze, how did you get so many Thunder Soul Beads?” Kartis Sham’s eyes were filled with intense heat. He knew better than anyone the value of the Thunder Soul Beads. However, each time the ancient land opened, the Kartis Family could only acquire a few thousand. But now, such a massive quantity was enough to forge a Spirit King!

“Just by chance,” Blaze Regret replied with a smile, though he sighed inwardly. If he had a thunder attribute spirit beast, coupled with this river formed from the entirety of the Thunder Abyss, his breakthrough speed would be astonishingly rapid.

However, if Kartis Sham discovered that Blaze Regret had destroyed the Kartis Family’s source of Thunder Soul Beads, who knows if he would go mad.

“Since there are fifty four light clusters here, I will not stand on ceremony.”

Turning his head, Blaze Regret smiled and spread his palm. A suction force erupted, pulling all the floating light clusters into his grasp. As for Kartis Ben standing there, his expression was extremely gloomy.

Although the value of the Thunder Soul Beads wasn’t lower than the rewards Kartis Sham offered, Blaze Regret’s Thunder Soul Beads were obtained from the trials, and in tens of thousands. The thought made Kartis Ben feel aggrieved.

Seeing Blaze Regret collect all the light clusters into the Void realms stone, Song Fan and the others blushed with anger. These rewards should have been theirs, but now not a single one remained, making them feel like clowns.

“Here are fifty four thousand Thunder Soul Beads in total, Elder Kartis, please accept them.”

With a casual wave of his hand, Blaze Regret sent a pile of Thunder Soul Beads in front of Kartis Ben, smiling faintly. He then opened the Void Realms stone and, under many greedy gazes, stored the entire river of thunder within.

Watching Blaze Regret’s smiling face, Kartis Ben gritted his teeth. This trial was originally meant to boost Kartis Van’s reputation, to let other factions know that the Kartis Family had such a talented new Spirit Master. However, it turned into a complete joke, leaving Kartis Van, standing in the corner, completely ignored.

Defeating Kartis Van, being a dual source spirit master, and gathering beads into a river, all these feats made the spotlight shift to a different protagonist today.

Moreover, this protagonist was the descendant of the Kartis Family’s sworn enemy.

“You’re really a troublemaker,” Mut Lin chuckled, looking at Blaze Regret. He had a feeling that the future of Snow Storm City might see a new storm because of this young man’s arrival, and this storm wouldn’t take long to come.

“Please make way.”

Suddenly, a cold voice resonated from the entrance of the Kartis Family residence. Following the voice, a tall figure dressed in simple attire slowly walked in. He briefly glanced at Kartis Kian, whose face was devoid of expression, and then his gaze settled on Blaze Regret.

“Zon Kerol, what’s he doing here?” Kartis Kian muttered softly, slightly furrowing his brow.

“Zon Kerol, ranked second on the Frost Ice List, the last time I saw him was half a year ago!”

“Is that Zon Kerol? He truly lives up to his name. I’ve heard he recently broke through to the fifth tier Spirit Lord Master!”

“A fifth tier Spirit Lord Master! My goodness, that’s enough to rival elders of some top tier factions.”

While the older generation managed to maintain their composure, the younger crowd, including the youths, quickly erupted into a flurry of excitement. The name Zon Kerol loomed like a towering mountain, solid and unassailable, among their generation.

“Brother Kerol’s personal visit, why didn’t you inform us in advance?” Kartis Kian stood up, smiling as he cupped his hands in greeting.

“Uninvited, I hope Brother Kartis and the head of the Kartis Family won’t hold it against me,” Zon Kerol replied, also cupping his hands. He even showed a gesture of respect to Kartis Sham, who was seated.

Of course, this gesture didn’t imply that Zon Kerol had a particularly close relationship with the Kartis Family; it was merely a show of basic courtesy.

“Blaze Regret.”

With a slight shift of his gaze, Zon Kerol stared intently at Blaze Regret’s face, remaining silent. This peculiar scene left the gathered crowd somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, even if Blaze Regret had defeated Kartis Van, it shouldn’t have caught Zon Kerol’s attention, as the gap between someone of Kartis Van’s caliber and Zon Kerol was vast, akin to a chasm.

In Snow Storm City, each generation has its own sphere, and only individuals like Kartis Kian and Fin Sham have the standing to be on par with Zon Kerol.

“This is an invitation to the All Star Banquet.”

After a brief silence, Zon Kerol flicked his hand, sending an invitation card, seemingly made of ice, shooting toward Blaze Regret with a sharp, piercing sound.

“Snap!”

Reaching out, Blaze Regret caught the invitation, his arm subtly shaking from the impact. As expected of a fifth tier Spirit Lord Master, even the residual force made his blood surge. It was no wonder that Zon Kerol was so renowned in Snow Storm City.

“The All Star Banquet?”

As Blaze Regret examined the invitation, the young generation present erupted in astonishment. While the younger crowd might be unaware, the older youth understood the significance of the All Star Banquet. It was an event reserved only for the elite among the youth!

What merits did Blaze Regret possess to earn an invitation to such a prestigious event?

“Brother Kerol, isn’t this a bit irregular?” Kartis Kian remarked coldly, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret without bothering to hide his contempt.

In the corner, Kartis Van’s tightly clenched fists trembled slightly. The All Star Banquet was a gathering he couldn’t even dream of attending, yet Blaze Regret, someone he considered a lowly inferior, received an invitation from Zon Kerol?

“Brother Kartis, honestly, I don’t quite understand it myself. But the person who extended the invitation is someone I truly can’t afford to offend,” Zon Kerol replied with a faint smile.

“Who?” Kartis Kian’s brows furrowed. There were few who could make Zon Kerol speak in such a manner.

“That person, you actually know as well.”

A hint of amusement flickered in Zon Kerol’s eyes as he revealed, “The royal family, Nor Amelia.”

“Royalty, Nor Amelia.”

When Zon Kerol’s voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, spread across the square, many people held their breath slightly, and Kartis Kian’s face was filled with disbelief.

“Nor Amelia…”

Silently repeating the name in his heart, Blaze Regret’s lips curled into a slight smile, as the memories buried deep within him surged forth like a tidal wave.

Meeting that girl was probably the greatest gain he had since leaving Velorian City.

“It turns out to be an invitation from royalty. A Dual Source Spiritual Master indeed has this qualification.” Kartis Kian glanced sideways at Blaze Regret. The words “Dual Source Spiritual Master” were uttered with a loud emphasis, as if without this status, Blaze Regret would not be worthy of an invitation to the All Star Banquet.
