Kent's cauldron puffed, sending out dark smoke as yet another pill successfully ford—the 30th in the last three days.
He retrieved it and carefully placed it in a jade pill bottle. He planned to save them until his next visit to Manager Alina to hand them over.
He had already concluded that pills below the Tier 3 stage were no longer worthy in his eyes. His focus was now firmly set on Tier 3 and above.
That was the threshold where he would finally step into the realm of true pill-making. It would mark the stage where he could be called a Pill Grandmaster, soone with the power to suppress even a rchant Family and beco untouchable.
He had already concocted all 60 Tier 1 pills, and now, he was left with 30 more to complete the second requirent that required him to concoct another 60 Tier 2 pills.
"Tower, how much ti remains before the requirents are due?" Kent asked. The tower had set a ti limit for him to complete four requirents before earning the title of Pill Grandmaster.
[You still have five months and two weeks,] the tower responded.
"Good. At least I have more ti before the Pill Master competition in three months," Kent sighed. He stored away the cauldron.
He then went to wash his hands, scrubbing away the lingering sll of pills, before returning to focus on his main agenda.
The tower inford him an hour ago that it was done rendering the video of what truly happened during his rescue mission in Makosa Mine.
Since he sohow managed to kill a Root Sage, he wanted to know how that was possible. Luckily, his reason for recording and playing his battle for his master to show how aweso he is has captured sothing rather intriguing.
"Tower, play the video," Kent said. Suddenly, like a Virtual Reality headset, the video appeared; however, the most intriguing thing was that he had a third-person view of the situation.
"Tower, play from where the lady appeared," Kent said, and like it was instructed, the video fast forward to the scene when Lady Sandra appeared.
She attacked, and Kent defended.
"Who are you?" Kent asked
"The question should be, who are you, young man? I've encountered many humans with great potential, but none quite like you," the masked woman said coldly. She then moved closer to Kent.
Kent instinctively took a few steps back.
"Tell , young man, what is your na?" the woman asked.
"I asked the question first," Kent replied, his gaze steady on the woman. He knew he couldn't defeat her but refused to cower before her.
"A bold one, huh? I like that," she said. "Initially, I planned to kill you since I can't leave any witnesses when I claim the Atomic Divine Body. But I've changed my mind.
Your journey continues at empire
"With your potential, having you as my slave would be far more advantageous. So, human, will you beco my slave willingly, or do you prefer the hard way?"
The mont Kent heard her question, sothing shifted within him. "What did you just say?" he asked, his voice chilling as the temperature around them dropped.
Suddenly, Kent's eyes darkened, and his aura surged wildly. The dark-robed lady, Lady Sandra, imdiately beca alard and moved to knock him out.
However, as she ca within range, Kent swung his sword precisely, forcing her to jump back in fright.
"You dare threaten to enslave ? Do you even know who I am?" Kent roared, his voice filled with unrestrained fury. He sent Lady Sandra hurtling several ters through the air with a powerful punch.
Before she could hit the ground, Kent teleported, imdiately appearing behind her.
"Do you have any idea who you are threatening?" he shouted again, his voice thunderous as he landed another punch, this ti on her stomach.
"I am the Chaos Lord, the bringer of chaos, and you dare threaten to enslave ?" he bellowed, his rage palpable. A third punch smashed into her ribcage, forcing her to cough up a mouthful of blood.
"How bold. To think a re mortal would threaten to enslave , the Dragon King." This ti, his hand transford into a dragon claw and swiped at her chest, sending her flying back once more.
He moved again, but this ti, a dense sword intent, having transcended the 9th stage and finally stepping into Sword Will, burst out of his body as he gazed coldly at the lady coughing up blood on the ground.
"In all my existence as the first-ever Sword Sage, this is the first ti I've encountered a mortal who thinks she has what it takes to enslave . How bold."
He moved forward and thrust his sword through her chest.
"In your next life, learn never to threaten anyone with slavery. Not even gods would dare to threaten with such, let alone a mortal like you. How bold."
Kent ford a seal, and runic strings attached themselves to Lady Sandra's soul. Soon, a soul bead ford, and he used a secret technique to enhance its power.
A few seconds later, his eyes returned to their usual purple hue.
The video ended there, and Kent was brought back to his senses. He gasped for breath the mont he ca out.
"That was intense," Kent comnted, feeling his brain numb montarily. He sat down and took the next few minutes to recollect his thoughts.
"The Chaos Lord, the Dragon King, and the Sword Sage. Was I really that aweso in my past life?" Kent wondered, recalling how domineering, arrogant, and powerful he had felt while watching the video.
"Was I truly that aweso?" Kent's excitent was palpable, the mories sparking a joy he'd never experienced before. Now that he had seen what happened, sothing shifted within him.
It was as if he had suddenly beco fearless, brimming with energy. At that mont, he felt like the domineering Dragon King, the imnsely powerful and wrathful Chaos Lord, and the elegant yet sinister Sword Sage all at once.
"Tower, what's your take on this?" Kent asked.
[Master, you have indeed assud three past incarnations when triggered back then.]
"You think being threatened with slavery was the trigger, huh?" Kent asked.
[Indeed. I tracked the master's pulses throughout the fight. Just when the lady threatened to make you her slave, your pulse dropped before suddenly spiking.
I believe the trigger is closely tied to being threatened with slavery.]
"I see. In that case, I need to find a way to rember more of my past. I want to feel like that again," Kent said, determination flashing in his eyes.
Kent was beyond happy. For reasons unknown, he felt as though his life had been far more extraordinary than the one he lived back on Earth—or even the one he was living now.
It felt as if he was destined for sothing greater, and having just witnessed his domineering past self, Kent was more than ready to uncover more about who he had been and how to reclaim the imnse power he had once demonstrated.
"Tower, keep tracking my pulse. Whenever I go dark, record everything. I want to know more," Kent declared, his resolve solidifying.
He wanted to rember. Of course, the cost of uncovering his past would reveal itself soon enough.
