"Where are you going so hurriedly?" Tony Clark stopped Academy Master Da Vinci, who was using his movent technique to hurry toward the war jet.
"Tell fast. I have urgent work." Da Vinci said with a displeased tone.
Tony didn’t care about the irritation on Da Vinci’s face and directly asked, "I need the Night Pool today. I need to prepare for the World Tree Blessing," Tony said in a determined tone.
Da Vinci paused for a second before replying sharply, "It will be ready by tonight."
He imdiately turned around to leave again, but Tony stopped him once more.
"Where are you rushing to? Is there sothing important right now? Can I co with you?" Tony asked with a curious look.
"No. Absolutely not. And I have no ti to waste right now," Da Vinci replied coldly. Without even looking back, he directly left afterward.
Tony stood there in surprise as Da Vinci boarded the war jet personally and flew away without even bringing a driver along.
The black war jet disappeared rapidly into the evening sky.
"Where is this fellow going at a ti like this?" Tony muttered while narrowing his eyes thoughtfully. There’s a serious discussion happening inside the eting hall regarding the World Tree Blessing tournant... so why is he rushing away?"
Suddenly, Tony rembered the warning spoken earlier by Supre Kent Clark.
’Be careful around Da Vinci. He may have connections with the Demonic Sea Tribe.’
Tony fell into deep thought afterward. "Could it really be true?" he muttered inwardly.
"It actually makes sense. That old fox already knew about the World Tree Blessing before everyone else. He even knew there would be limited spots and a tournant among the younger Peak Grandmasters. Seems like Ancestor Kent wasn’t speaking nonsense."
Still... Tony didn’t feel Da Vinci held direct hostility toward him yet. At least for now. Anyway, Da Vinci had already promised to prepare the Night Pool tonight.
Tony imdiately began thinking about his own preparations instead. ’This is probably the perfect opportunity to use those thirteen drops of Dragon Blood Essence. There was still the Enlightennt Card remaining... The 30X Body Refinent Card.. And the Heavenly Mirage Steps technique waiting for mastery.
If I combine everything together... I will definitely beco much stronger before the tournant begins.
Tony’s thoughts suddenly shifted toward another person entirely. The slender silver-haired girl standing beside Demonic Sea Tribe Leader Luka earlier.
"Why did she feel so strange?" Tony muttered softly. "I felt sothing very weird from her...’ For so strange reason... Her presence felt unusual.
"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Lily Frost appeared beside him and asked with a questioning look.
Tony glanced at her briefly. "Nothing." His tone sounded unusually dry... Then he directly walked away from the place without waiting for her response.
Lily remained standing there silently afterward.
’Seems like he is really still angry about ...’ She quietly watched Tony’s departing back while biting her lower lip softly.

anwhile...
Inside the massive eting hall, the ergency gathering finally ca to an end.
One by one, the Seven Octopus House Masters left to prepare for the upcoming Golden Heir Tournant.
The atmosphere outside the hall remained tense as countless influential family heads continued discussing the shocking announcent.
At that mont, Imperial Family Head Jamie Smith approached Rion Clark with a wide smile on his face.
"Why does the mighty Clark Family Patriarch seem so nervous?" Jamie asked mockingly. "Are you afraid your sons won’t even secure a single spot for the World Tree Blessing?"
Several nearby family heads imdiately turned toward them with interest.
Rion Clark rely looked at Jamie calmly. "Don’t be too proud, Jamie. There are hidden tigers and crouching dragons everywhere. Do you really think your son is guaranteed to win?" Rion replied with a faint mocking smile.
Jamie imdiately laughed proudly afterward. "I don’t know about your sons... but my son Mark Smith, the First Prince, is absolutely guaranteed to obtain one of the top three positions during the Golden Heir Tournant."
His confidence sounded overwhelming. Clearly, Jamie trusted Mark completely.
Rion Clark only sneered lightly. "Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Let’s see who gets the last laugh."
After saying those words, Rion directly turned around to leave. He clearly had no interest in continuing a pointless verbal battle with Jamie Smith.
But just as Rion stepped away from the eting hall... Another familiar figure approached him quickly.
Andrew Frost.
The Frost Family Patriarch smiled warmly while walking beside him.
"What is that Imperial bastard blabbering about now?" Andrew asked casually.
Rion sighed lightly afterward."As always... he’s boasting about his son becoming number one in the tournant."
Then his expression slowly beca more complicated. "Honestly... I also feel a little uncomfortable right now."
Andrew looked surprised.
"The Clark Family Patriarch is worried?"
Rion nodded slowly.
"My second son Leo should at least place among the top competitors. But, I’m more worried about my eldest son Tony. If he fails to secure a spot during this World Tree Blessing, he may remain stuck behind others for years. That’s what worries the most."
Andrew Frost beca silent for a few monts. Then he smiled reassuringly afterward. "Don’t worry too much about Tony. We’ll make arrangents if necessary. We’ll make sure he enters the World Tree Blessing sohow."
Rion glanced at him thoughtfully.
Then Andrew hesitated slightly before speaking again. "Actually I have a small request."
"What is it?" Rion asked calmly.
Andrew coughed awkwardly before continuing. "It’s about Lily Frost. Even though my daughter is engaged to your son... the marriage hasn’t officially happened yet."
Rion’s expression imdiately beca strange.
Andrew hurriedly waved both hands.
"No, no! Don’t misunderstand! I only wanted to ask sothing simple. My daughter Lily Frost wishes to fight representing the Frost Family during the Golden Heir Tournant. I ca to ask your opinion directly. Are you okay with that?" Andrew asked carefully.
Rion Clark almost cursed loudly inside his heart imdiately. Lily Frost was practically guaranteed to place among the top competitors. In the best-case scenario, she might even secure one of the top three rankings entirely.
And this old fox still wanted Lily to fight under the Frost Family banner instead of the Clark Family?
Still... Rion could not reject the request openly. After all, Lily remained Andrew’s daughter officially. Right now, maintaining the relationship between Tony and Lily was extrely important for the Clark Family. Reluctantly, Rion nodded his head.
"Yes... She is still your daughter. Naturally, she should represent your family. I have no objections." Rion gave his nod, even though his face looked ugly while saying it.
Andrew Frost imdiately beca delighted. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
He repeatedly thanked Rion before quickly leaving the area. Clearly, he feared Rion might change his decision midway.
The mont Andrew disappeared from sight, Rion Clark’s expression instantly darkened. Without wasting another second, he directly sent an ergency command through the Clark Family communication network.
"All Clark Family youngsters at Peak Grandmaster stage must return imdiately. The family will begin preparation for the Golden Heir Tournant tonight."
The order spread rapidly throughout the martial network.
However... One particular person completely ignored the command.
Tony Clark.
Because at this mont... He already had entirely different plans of his own.
