Eternal Thief Chapter 542 You Have A Good Son

Ace looked at the demonic gates that were now only a hundred ters away from him with a aningful look. He could feel the dreadful feeling from that fog inside.

'If I had tried to enter with other ans, I might have been detected. This place is not simple, and this mission is going to be a deadly one if I act recklessly,' He mused gravely.

'Now that I showed my unusual resistance toward the radiation and large Qi reserve, they might start to observe . But it isn't enough to draw the attention of the principal.

'Only the last test remained, and it's always random every year. I just need to pass it at first, and this should be enough to enter a bigwig's good book. As for that demoness, she made things even easier by approaching and giving the chance to act and...'

Ace smiled deviously as he looked toward the other side. He could see the demons were still struggling in the 3-Point radiation field while Charles was still far from the halfway point in the 4-Point radiation field.

However, the audience's focus was on Archie as they looked at him with disbelief because he passed the entire field too fast, and it might be a new record. But it remained to be seen if the institute acknowledged his record because he wasted half an hour.

Nevertheless, in everyone's eyes, Archie was already a terrifying youth and had the highest chance of entering the institute.

"You have a good son, Runic Duke." The Dark Fire Duke congratulated impassively at this mont.

Harvey had a gratified smile as he looked at his son standing alone at the finishing point. He nodded, "Indeed."

He finally understood why Archie was so confident in passing and taking care of Lucas.

'He's still hiding his actual prowess. But where did he get the body refinent technique of 5th grade? The main clan would never give it away to Archie, and he needed a Grade-5 alchemist as well. Or he passed this test with sheer willpower and Qi? I have to ask that brat,' Harvey thought.

He knew the body refinent technique of Grade-5 and Grade-6 were in Life Grand Demon Duke's hand, and he won't give it away without any good reason, or at least he won't give it to Archie.

That's why he didn't believe Archie had a grade-5 body. He clearly rembered Archie only cultivates a grade-1 body and then never touched the body refinent technique. Because he was afraid of pain, and he never pushed him either since it will do more harm than good if it was forced.

But he was no longer sure anymore, the hidden library where all the precious techniques and skills of Runic Soul Clan were open for Archie, and he could learn anything.

Finley also looked grim at this mont. He never thought Archie had hidden himself this deep, and from his performance, it was clear Lucas wasn't his match.

'If he entered the Royal Demon Institute now, even if the main clan finds Archie a thorn and a threat, they won't be able to touch him anymore. Only from the inside could they do anything.

'But with his astonishing performance, he might also draw the attention of a housemaster and beco his personal student. Once that happened, the harm they could do to Archie would be even minimum. This is bad.' He frowned grimly as a killing intent appeared in his eyes.

"Old Dog, don't even think about it anymore. Just wait patiently for the next family ranking competition. Let's see who can maintain their NO.1 family spot anymore." Harvey coldly declared while glaring at Finley.

He could sense the killing intent, but he wasn't worried anymore.

After Archie entered the institute, Finley couldn't do anything but pull his hair in frustration. On the contrary, he should be worried about Lucas, who was Archie's target, and he might not even make it to the institute.

Finley coldly glared at Harvey, "It's still too early for you to celebrate!"

The others listen to them but remain silent.

They also had the sa kind of competition in their clans, and the completion was fierce. The rivalry between the duke clans of the four Grand Demon Tribes wasn't rare at all.

The only ones who weren't feeling good about this situation were the Poison Wood Demons, especially the Black Duke.

She deliberately wanted to make Archie suffer so she could collect so old debt from Harvey, but she never thought that; Archie was even harder to deal with than Harvey.

At least Harvey could still be predicted, but Archie appeared predictable, but he wasn't, and this would force others to think if they saw through him or not.

Now Nancy had provoked him, and it seed he had deliberately let her do it as well. No one knows what will he do next if Nancy doesn't remain true to her word.

An hour passed, and almost all the participants were now inside the Mind Breaking Demonic Path, and Charles had just entered the 5-Point radiation field while the others behind him were still in the 4-Point radiation field.

Everyone understood just how terrifying Mind Breaking Demonic Path was and they looked at the young demon who was sitting on the other side calmly with more trepidation.

Archie had completed this test like it was a breeze, but it wasn't the case, and this also proved there wasn't anything wrong with the formation, but Archie was just too resilient.

Two more hours passed by, and only two hours left before the ti runs out.

At this mont, Charles finally stepped outside with an ashen expression on his stony face, but there wasn't any joy about appearing second in his eyes but shock as he looked at expressionless Archie.

Although he knew there was a gap between him and Archie, the gap was so big he didn't even want to believe it. His pride as an outstanding youth in his clan was wounded.

But he still won't admit defeat since there was still the last test.

Even though Archie had a larger Qi reserve and more resilience toward the radiations, it didn't an he was good at fighting as well.

Charles nodded in acknowledgnt toward Archie without saying another word and sat down cross-legged a few ters away from him to recover.

Ace aningfully looked at Charles, 'The Nightmare Demon Clan is famous for their Assassination Abilities, and this Charles is from their first Duke Clan and hiding his true strength. So, he should have their core knowledge.

'Now that his mind is exhausted, it would be easy to get the mories. It might co in handy as a reference, and Noa can directly learn them. There's also the charm and poison techniques from Paul that are not useful for , but useful for the house mbers.

'As for Archie, he had core knowledge of Runic Soul Clan's Rune Crafting up to Grade-6. Should I create a library in the thief's house space, with all the useful knowledge I have?'

Ace couldn't help but thought before he used a soul probe on Charles.

He was extrely interested in abilities that were related to the path of darkness and could be used as references for future use.

As for his house mbers, they could use them directly and learn faster, but it was a very cumberso task to record his mories in a text.

But the Jad Scroll gave him so insight into this because it can record knowledge directly from the knowledge sea, so he decided to search for its creation thod before recording important mories into a jade scroll and then making a library in the thief's house.

As for the lost jade scroll formulation thod, he knew better than anyone that nothing was truly lost, and one just had to have the will to find them.

Charles did not know that all the core secrets of his clan and his mories were being annexed by soone.

Ace also planning to absorb the Fiery Demon's mories as well.

This way, he would have all the core knowledge of four grand duke demon clans, including the secret knowledge of Poison Wood Clan.

Paul was a direct descendant of a Grand Demon Duke, so he naturally had more knowledge and core secrets of the Poison Wood Clan than family mbers like Harvey or Ash Duke.

As ti passed and the deadline approached, the young demons started to panic, which made it even more challenging to move forward.

After Charles, his cousin Bobby appeared, and after greeting Archie, he sat behind his cousin to recover.

Surprisingly, the next one who appeared was Lucas with a pale face. He threw a hateful glance at Archie before he started to recover.

Ace looked at Lucas aningfully. 'This guy is hiding sothing.'

The next was Hugo with a sowhat ugly expression as he looked at Lucas, but he didn't say anything and also nodded at Archie and picked a place to rest.

After fifteen minutes, Nancy appeared with the other two poison wood demons. It seed she was waiting for them so they could co out together. She was afraid of Archie after encountering him and hearing his appalling words.

However, Archie completely ignored the other two and smiled coldly, which made Nancy aghast!
