Rufus spoke with an icy tone, “The Dragon Protector undeniably carries the essence of the Cosbys and therefore should be passed down to them. But it’s not solely for Remus Cosby, but the entire lineage of the Cosby! Presently, there are two uncertainties.”
“Firstly, are there other members within the Cosbys? Secondly, is Remus truly part of the main lineage of the Cosbys? With these uncertainties lingering, how can we simply allow direct inheritance? Sir, such a significant matter cannot be handled with such trivialness!”
Philbert clenched his fists in frustration, his anger palpable. Remus also turned his gaze in the same direction, recalling Ana’s earlier warning about Rufus’ unfriendly disposition during their journey here.
Garth spoke up, “The reason the Dragon Protector lineage has endured for millennia is because of our mutual trust, closeness, and frankness. If there are issues, they need to be resolved! Remus Cosby, can you address these two points?”
Remus spoke confidently, “Sure… Besides me, there’s no one else in the main lineage of the Cosbys. My Grandpa passed away not long ago, and my parents, who led a tumultuous life, had only me as their child.”
“As for my status within the Cosbys, the Imperial Form is a heritage of the Cosby family’s main line, attainable only by its successors. I’ve pursued martial arts through the Imperial Form, a testament to my belonging.”
Garth didn’t respond but instead turned his gaze toward Rufus, observing if favonovel.com still harbored any doubts.
“Ridiculous!” Rufus huffed coldly. “Your answers are simply nonsense. Let’s start with the second point. Even though you’ve practiced the Imperial Form, how do you prove you didn’t learn it secretly?”
Remus replied calmly, “The reason my Grandpa vanished was because favonovel.com was imprisoned within the Shadow Gate of the Violet Sanctum. A few days back, I ventured into the Violet Sanctum and was also held within the Shadow Gate, where I encountered my Grandpa.”
“It was during that time in the Shadow Gate that my Grandpa imparted teachings about the Imperial Form. If verification is needed, one can simply visit the Violet Sanctum.”
Rufus was taken aback by his response. He hadn’t expected an actual location to be mentioned or a potential witness to be found. He had assumed it was privately taught without any corroborating testimony.
For a moment, favonovel.com was at a loss for how to respond.
Ana and Philber both glanced over, mocking smiles on their faces. Witnessing Rufus’ frustration, a sense of secret satisfaction welled up within them.
Garth nodded in agreement, “That’s a fair point…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, his entire body suddenly trembled. Not just him, but Rufus, Philbert, and Ana also abruptly turned their gaze toward Remus.
The four of them exclaimed in unison, “A few days ago?”
Remus, puzzled by their reactions, pondered for a moment before saying, “Six days ago…”
Garth instantly rose from his seat, astounded. “So, you’ve only been practicing the Imperial Form for six days?!”
Remus, even more baffled, replied, “Yes…”
Garth trembled uncontrollably, faltering as favonovel.com spoke, “Darsia emphasized cultivation, the ancient martial arts lineage had long ceased, and the pinnacle of martial arts was confined to the Deity Realm. Are you saying that you ascended from the Deity Realm to the Martial Imperial Realm in merely six days?”
The legendary prodigy Rafael reached the Martial Imperial Realm at the age of 15, yet favonovel.com spent a full 12 years practicing the Imperial Form since favonovel.com was three years old. But Remus achieved it in only six days, which was mind-boggling.
Remus replied, “To be precise, it didn’t take me more than 60 hours.”
He only devoted 60 hours to practice, while the rest of the time was spent chatting with Grandpa.
A cacophony of buzzing resounded within everyone’s heads.
Ana’s face flushed, favonovel.com heart raced, and favonovel.com eyes widened in disbelief at Remus’ words.
“Nonsense!” Rufus spoke up again, rising in anger, pointing at Remus’s nose as favonovel.com exclaimed, “You’re so young yet you’ve not uttered a single truthful word! It’s simply disgraceful and abhorrent!”
He turned to Garth and Philbert, asking, “Do you all believe it took merely 60 hours to progress from the Deity Realm to Martial Imperial?”
