Chapter 275: That's Not Worthy
Chapter 275: That's Not Worthy
“Let’s go back,” Luan said. Ingrid beside him nodded in agreement. After spending some time trying to find treasures, he ended up finding a significant amount, but there weren’t many that would be useful for them.
On the way back, Luan said, “I’ll announce the herbs and treasures I want to buy. That way, it will be easier for me to get those items.”
“It’s a good idea,” Ingrid said with a serious look, “but wouldn’t that cost a lot of money?”
“Money is not an issue.” Luan smiled a little. “We have enough money to support a country. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
“Mm.” Ingrid nodded again.
“By the way,” he laughed, “Worrying about things like this; we’re not even married yet, but you’re already acting like my wife.”
“…” Ingrid blushed, but then said as she puffed out her chest, “Yes, and? Don’t you intend to marry me?”
“Hahaha!” Luan laughed out loud to the sky, and then he hugged her. “Of course I do. How about we get married now? You accept?”
“Is that your proposal?” Ingrid snorted. She laughed with tears in her eyes, “Are you serious?”
“Mm.” Luan nodded. “The ring, I already gave you, yes? Of course, I’ll get a better one later.”
“I… Of course I accept!” She hugged him, but then said flirtatiously. “But let’s wait… Now is not the right time.”
“Yes, we’ll talk about it another time.” Luan smiled, “I just want you to know that I intend to marry and be with you for the rest of my life, even if it’s for all eternity.”
Ingrid was no fool. She caught something in Luan’s words suggesting he wanted to adhere to immortality. Maybe this was a dream before, but now… ‘Maybe it’s possible?’ The tears in Ingrid’s eyes deepened.

After they returned to the island, Luan began to place many monster cores into the hole he created earlier. This helped to strengthen the island, improving the formation. Not only that, it was becoming an artifact and could soon merge with the leviathan… The Qi vein was building in a thriving way. If it continued, the island’s Qi would be so dense that by far it would be the best place on earth to cultivate.
By the time they arrived on the island, the Elite Squad and the rest were waiting there for them. It had been a few days since they had seen Luan and Ingrid. Elijah and the rest were thrilled to see them return, and they ran to greet them.
Luan patted Elias on the shoulder as he smiled, “My old friend, I see you’re trying hard.”
“Yes, I finally managed to reach the strength of one dragon,” Elijah said proudly. In their group, he had become the strongest, after Luan’s family. He was already getting worried. Since the Elite Squad had a lot of talented people, if he went soft, he would lose face in front of his subordinates.
“Your parents are well?” Luan asked.
“Yes, thanks to you,” Elias said with a goofy smile, “Dad is helping your grandfather, while my mother is with my father. I got some good resources, and thanks to that, the strength of both father and mother has reached the Third Order.”
“Good.” Luan walked to the edge of the island. Looking at the city in the distance, he said, “You can now go to the 50th floor, but I don’t recommend doing that now. Wait until everyone has the power of one dragon.”
“Mm.” Elijah said, “I have this to say. Even the 45th floor has a high degree of difficulty for us. I’m not silly enough to think that we can get stronger if we go to the 50th floor.”
Luan nodded.
“Have you met my daughter?” Luan asked.
“That…” Elias showed confusion. He still couldn’t understand. “How is it possible. I mean, she’s so grown up…”
“There are things that are beyond comprehension. You just need to know that she is my daughter.” Luan patted Elias’s shoulder lightly, and Elias nodded.
“Okay, I wanted you close by so that nothing will be affected,” Luan said seriously. “I’m going to teach you an attacking technique. If you were to buy it in the tower, it would be worth at least 500,000 credits.”
“500,000…” Elijah swallowed and his heart beat faster.
“Ready?” Luan pulled back a little.
“Yes!” Elijah was more serious than ever.
From a distance, the Elite Squad looked at Elijah with envy, but didn’t try to learn as it could possibly hurt if they learned the technique the wrong way or weren’t compatible with them. And they were right: without having the strength of at least one dragon, it would be suicide to learn that technique, as it wasted a lot of Qi.
Elias’ progress in learning the technique was faster than Luan had anticipated. He realized that Elias had become very talented when it came to learning lightning element techniques.
Time flew by…
Luan’s explanation and demonstration was complete and Elijah’s study was comprehensive. Elijah achieved a basic understanding of the Fist of the Lightning Dragon in just five days.
“You finished learning in less than a week. In fact… I’d say I’m a good teacher.” Luan exclaimed.
Elijah, who was smug, rolled his eyes.
“I’m the talented one,” Elijah said jokingly, only to suffer a blow from Luan and fall to the ground.
“Ugh.”
Groaning, Elias regretted what he said. He looked up at the sky, then raised his hand, and laughed out loud.
“Is he fine?” The Elite Squad had watched Elias learn often, so they saw what happened now.
Elias’s subsequent outburst of laughter surprised them.
“Luan?” Catharina approached. She scowled as she looked at Elias lying on the ground. Snorting, she looked at Luan. “Are you finished? Can you teach me something too?”
Luan rubbed her white hair, and Catharina pushed his hand away as he pouted. He smiled, “Yes, call mother and the rest of the women on the island. The technique I’m going to teach you is suitable for women. It’s on the edge of the Third Order. It’s a basic technique to learn, but very useful.”
“I will be back in a moment.” Catharina looked again at Elias, who was now sitting on the ground, then left.
Minutes later, all the girls arrived.
