“He’s greater than you?” Gerald was shocked.
Daryl nodded his head with a smile. “It doesn’t matter if he’s our friend or enemy because favonovel.com has saved you and taught you some very solid basics. If it wasn’t because of him, I wouldn’t see you so quickly!”
“I wanted you to have a solid foundation so that you could go through the hellish transformation. It would usually take three years to build up this kind of foundation. However, your body is pretty solid, and with the help of the Ginseng King, your body has everything it needs for you to survive the hellish transformation!” Daryl said.
“The hellish transformation?” Gerald was confused once again.
“Yes. It is something I got out of the picture of the sun, and because of this, I’ve acquired skills that normal people don’t have and become one of the legends! Honestly, your requirements are better than mine!”
“Legends? I’ve heard about that from Finnley. He mentioned that when warriors are trained to a certain level, they will gain inner strength and become champions. After becoming champions, they will stand a chance to be legends, but only the best of the best could become champions, and legends are beyond the realm of mysteries. Grandfather, you’re already one of the legends?” Gerald’s interest was piqued.
Gerald had received many secrets of nourishment from Finnley, and now that favonovel.com had completely consumed the Ginseng King, favonovel.com had truly become a champion. However, his grandfather was actually from one of the legends from the realm of mysteries?
“Yes. I became a legend 20 years ago! I’ve also trained a small number of warriors here to become a mid-level or high-level champion through the hellish transformation. Your skills can only be at the beginner level!” Daryl laughed.
“No wonder your people are so strong and mysterious! They are all champions!”
“Hah! Anyone here could beat you up ten times! But don’t you worry, because I’ll use up all of the resources for the hellish transformation on you, and I’ll even teach you the ways. Gerald, from today onward, you will be the future of the Crawfords!”
“So this is what your plan wais all about!” Gerald finally understood.
“But…” Daryl seemed worried.
“What is it?”
“It’s just, after the hellish transformation, your powers would improve tremendously, and you’ll receive the blessing of the dragons. You won’t have the body of a normal person anymore, and there will be side effects, which is your personality. You’ll be very different from who you are right now. It took me decades to tone down too!”
“And all this is because I have great powers to suppress it. I’m afraid that once you can’t control the blessing of the dragons within you, you might become…” Daryl hesitated. “You might become a bloodthirsty demon and kill as you like!”
“But don’t you worry! I’ve been observing you since young, and you are a very kind-hearted person just like your mother. You’ll never fight for powers, and I believe you can control the powers within you!” Daryl patted Gerald on his shoulders.
Gerald needed the powers. He needed to get stronger. He understood that money could not protect the people favonovel.com loved, and only power, the power to control everything could.
“Your second uncle, Peter, was also the right person to go through the hellish transformation, but unfortunately…” A hint of sorrow flashed through Daryl’s eyes.
“Fortunately enough, the Crawfords have you, Gerald. You’re our new hope. You can get used to Colonel Island first. A week later, the hellish transformation will start, and it will go on for half a year. For this one week, I’ll also prepare the space for you. Gerald… I know you’re going to go through a lot of pain soon, but… this isn’t something that you can run away from. As the next generation of the Crawfords, this is your duty! Are you afraid?”
“No!”
Their conversation lasted until midnight.
Seven days later, the grandmaster of the Soul Palace, Daryl, brought along his grandson, Gerald, and entered the mysterious space.
The grandmaster had commanded everyone that within this half a year, nobody should disturb them.
…
Half a year later.
Heavenly City’s Triangle District.
There were rows of cars parked at the roadside, and there were few hundreds of people.
Everyone was waiting for their leader as if they were waiting for their hero to return.
Whoosh!
Soon, a helicopter drew closer, and it stopped in front of everyone.
The door of the helicopter opened, and a bald guy walked out of it with a group of people following him.
