Apotheosis

James was the elder and expert in the Illuminating Soul Realm. His sense of dignity was forcing him to stay out of the fight. This brat who had just reached the first rank of the nature level was the best among Nory's lot and he was way weaker than Yates. There was no point worrying about his son.

Even so, James still said, "This has nothing to do with you, Yetta. The youngsters want a duel, they can have one." Although he said so, it was obvious that James was encouraging his son to teach Zen a sharp lesson.

Yetta bit her lip and fell silent.

However, Nina gave Yetta a long look, her calm eyes surveying her face, and asked, "Why are you so worried, Yetta?"

Yetta shook her head. "I'm afraid that my brother will lose, Nina."

Yetta knew what Yates was doing was wrong. Still... He was her brother.

Her best friend Nina had told her loads of stories about Zen. She could tell from what she had heard that Zen wasn't as simple as he looked.

Nina gave her a smile. "Your brother will be fine."

Yetta blinked and asked, "Why? I mean how are you so certain?"

Nina replied calmly, "Your brother isn't qualified to fight with Zen. If it were your uncle, this fight would be more seemly."

Yetta's eyes widened in disbelief. She had heard stories about how Zen had fought with demon generals, how he had defied the Zhuge Clan in the White Emperor City, and how extraordinary his powers were. Still, comparing him with an expert in the Illuminating Soul Realm was beyond her imagination.

Nina had faith in her judgment.

Zen and his unique life energy had nearly killed Hugh in White Emperor City.

Back then he was only a half-step into the nature lev

ly quick on the uptake. He had met a mysterious master in the outskirts of Imperial Capital when he was fourteen and that master had taught Yates a skill which was called the Willow Leaf Spear Art. James had checked it himself. It was a tier 4 cultivation method.

Yates was blessed with the kind of luck which made James believe that his son would surpass himself and lead the Mo clan to a whole new level.

That was why, he had spent all the Mo clan's money building the Willow Spear for Yates.

Mo clan seemed on the wane these years. But the fact was, James had invested all the resources in his son.

Yates had never disappointed his father until now. So far, everything had been excellent. Yates had excelled his peers in every way. Every day, he looked like he was improving, his ferocity and velocity were better, and even the rate at which he improved was speeding up. Now he was at the fourth rank of the nature level and he could easily beat anyone at the same rank. James was sure that even a refiner at the seventh rank of the nature level wouldn't have the upper hand in a fight against Yates.
