The Life of Lust Demon

Chapter 89 The Hidden Side of Zoey's Grandpa

On Horizon Down World, martial artists could train through two main methods. The first, and more common, method involved embedding the martial technique directly into a person's mind through advanced technology. Once implanted, the martial artist would naturally be able to use it. This was how most techniques, like those taught at Sky Martial Court or the Fivefold Thunderclap Anos received from the System, were transferred.

The second method, however, was more traditional. It involved studying and practicing the technique like reading a manual. Once fully understood, the martial artist would be able to perform the technique. While the first method was quicker and easier, the second method provided a stronger foundation. If a person couldn't comprehend the second method, they would never master it. But once learned, techniques would become more efficient and powerful.

For example, if a technique were implanted, its damage output would increase by 100%. But if it were learned and mastered from the ground up, that increase would rise to 150%. Because of its depth and rigor, the second method was rare, and more people preferred the first method for convenience. Only martial arts passed down through families were typically cultivated with the second method.

Evan took a sip from the cup Nora handed him and smiled. "I heard from Little Zoey that you specialize in lightning techniques, so I had an old friend of mine fetch this for you."

Anos flipped through the pages casually, but his hand stilled when he reached the next section. His expression faltered, and he froze.

The technique was called [Heavenly Thunder Flash], and its ranking was... Earth Tier Five Stars!

Anos's mind went blank. Earth Tier Martial Skills were extraordinarily rare. To his knowledge, only the three major powers and the most prestigious clans in Flower City possessed such techniques. Even then, these families usually had only one Earth Tier skill, passed down through the generations and guarded fiercely from outsiders. The rarity of these skills alone made them legendary. Yet here was Evan, handing him an Earth Tier skill—a Five-Star one, no less! It was enough to leave Anos speechless.

Was the Arthur family really that powerful? He couldn't be sure, but if they were, why would they be running a mercenary group?

Evan smiled, his tone casual as he spoke. "Heavenly Thunder Flash is a long-range lightning-type martial skill. It channels lightning energy and releases it through the circulation of the technique. If you fully master it, the power of your lightning strikes will triple."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Anos blinked, his mind spinning. "Wait... isn't this too valuable?"

The temptation was irresistible. A lightning-based martial skill that could deal out the destructive power of lightning from a distance—though limited in range—was a massive advantage. But with Heavenly Thunder Flash, the damage would leap from 50 to 150. That was a huge upgrade! A martial skill wasn't just about raw power; it was the essence of a fighter's strength, and only the most revered techniques were seen as truly invaluable.

Evan chuckled warmly. "Compared to Zoey and everyone's lives, this is nothing. Don't hesitate—take it."

Anos smiled, a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Then... I won't turn it down," he said, carefully storing the Heavenly Thunder Flash technique.

"Hahaha..." Evan chuckled after Anos accepted the martial arts book. He looked at him and said, "From now on, you're a member of the Iron Reavers Mercenary Group. We're all family here, so don't hold back. If there's anything you need, let us know. If I can help, I'll do my best."

"Mm, thank you, Elder Evan," Anos replied.

"I heard you and Little Zoey are planning to fight?" Evan asked with a knowing smile.

Nora's expression remained serene, but a hint of amusement danced in her eyes. "I know, Grandpa Evan," she replied, her voice husky and confident. "From the moment he looked at me, I knew his thoughts. He wanted to conquer me, but I have to maintain a good image, so I won't let my anger and irritation show."

Grandpa Evan chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "My dear Little Nora, your body curves are getting more pronounced, and your buttocks are becoming rounder and fuller. Softly, yet firmly..." He reached out, his hands grasping Nora's buttocks, squeezing and releasing them slowly, repeating the motion as he spoke.

Nora's expression remained normal, as if Evan's actions were a daily occurrence. However, her breathing became slightly rougher, and her face flushed with a subtle rise in temperature.

"Grandpa, why are you doing this in front of Zoey and Anos?" Nora asked, her voice steady, but with a hint of reprimand. "What if they find out? Please stop."

Grandpa Evan's grin never wavered. "Don't worry, my little Nora. They'll be focused on their battle and won't have time to notice us. Just watch the ongoing battle and let me feel the sultry, curvy matureness of yours. Tonight, wear something nice to meet me, Nora."

Nora nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "Okay, naughty pervert Grandpa."

As Anos and Zoey walked into the arena and stood in the inner area, the atmosphere became more tense, foreshadowing the intense battle to come.

The air grew tense as Anos and Zoey stood opposite each other, their eyes locked in a fierce stare-down. The inner area, though only about three hundred square meters, now felt like the stage for an epic showdown. The confined space forced them to rely on precision, power, and strategy rather than sheer movement.

Anos smirked confidently, his tone dripping with playful arrogance. "Let me make this clear—don't come crying to me when I beat you senseless."

Zoey raised an eyebrow, her arms crossed defiantly. "Tsk, you're dreaming. Let me make this clear—don't bawl your eyes out when I leave you on the ground."

A flicker of amusement crossed Anos's face, but his stance tightened. "Oh, it's on."

"Bring it!" Zoey shot back, her energy already beginning to surge.

In an instant, both of their auras erupted, creating a whirlwind of force. Anos's Spirit Core Realm Stage-One energy rippled out, but he consciously suppressed it to the Stage-Ten of the Elemental Foundation Realm to keep the fight fair. He knew that overwhelming Zoey with his full strength would rob the battle of its thrill.

Both of their powers surged into the air, their hair and clothes fluttering wildly under the pressure. The arena's sandy ground swirled around them, caught in the storm of their energies, as they prepared for the clash.

The tension in the air promised a battle neither of them would forget.
