[Reward received, +2 skill points]
[Reward received, +1 lottery draw]
[Reward received, one Dragon\'s Roar Virility Pill]
Timothy: "Huh?"
Why does it seem like some weird rewards got mixed in?
But... ahem, maybe they\'ll come in handy later.
At this moment, the entire Doomed Soul Sect seemed to freeze, everyone just stood there, dumbfounded.
Four beams of light shot into the clouds, and the thunder was still roaring.
Many had even steeled themselves for a death-defying battle, their bodies tense, hearts filled with resolve, fully geared up for combat.
Some even made the bold vow, "After this battle, I\'m going home to get married."
And who shows up? Timothy?!
"Holy crap, is this for real?"
"Even the Sect Leader could only barely reach the sixth level, how on earth did Timothy clear the seventh level of the Inferno Tower?"
"Timothy, why is it you?" Morvran was also embarrassingly at a loss for where to put his face.
He had personally ordered the entire sect to be ready for a battle that could happen at any moment.
Activated the Dark Veil Barrier, awakened the sacred beast, the Dread Wyvern.
And in the end, there was no enemy intent on destroying the Doomed Soul Sect breaking into the seventh level.
"Weren\'t you just at the Aura Initiation stage, how did you..."
"Holy shit!"
Morvran almost freaked out when he took a closer look and felt the aura around Timothy.
Just this morning, Timothy was merely at the Aura Initiation level, and in just one night, he had broken through to the Energy Foundation stage.
Knowing how many have stumbled at this threshold, countless people failing to cross this formidable barrier, and here he was, breezing through it?
One night, one person, one miracle, is this guy even human?
Timothy casually waved his hand: "Chill, chill, I didn\'t do it on purpose. I just couldn\'t sleep tonight, so I went up there for a stroll, and accidentally stumbled upon a little heritage treasure, which caused all this commotion."
As he spoke, a small tower the size of a palm, wrapped in blazing flames, appeared in Timothy\'s hand.
Though none had seen it with their own eyes, almost everyone remembered the glorious past of the Sect recorded in the histories.
This was no small heritage treasure,this was one of the most powerful magical artifacts left by the ancestors of the Doomed Soul Sect, the Inferno Suppression Tower!
A flawless Rare-level artifact, with potential for further advancement!
After a moment of silence, a wave of frenzied cheers erupted.
"Brother Timothy is so badass!"
"Brother Timothy, you\'re a legend forever!"
"Brother Timothy, I want to have your babies!"
Many regretted not realizing earlier that Timothy had been hiding his true strength!
Many had suppressed Timothy in the past.
Now, even if they wanted to cozy up to him, they didn\'t dare.
If by any chance Brother Timothy remembered their past actions, not just clinging to his coattails, even a casual settling of old scores could be enough to end their lives.
From the crowd, Yvenna hurried forward.
Instinctively, she wanted to throw herself into Timothy\'s arms, but after hesitating, she stopped herself.
Yet tears streamed down her clear eyes.
The moment the Inferno Tower began to glow, while others were panicking and trying to flee, Yvenna was the first to worry about Timothy\'s safety and rushed to his residence.
But she found it empty.
She initially thought something terrible had happened to Timothy and frantically searched for him, anxiety overwhelming her.
Fortunately, she was mistaken.
Amid her tears, Yvenna instinctively leaned towards Timothy.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, evoking a deep sense of pity.
Seeing this, numerous disciples who secretly admired Yvenna felt like they were soaking in a tub full of lemon juice, the sourness almost making their teeth fall out.
If possible, they would rather break an arm if it meant Yvenna would cry over them like that just once!
But such a dream scenario was never meant for them.
As Timothy was about to say something to the tearfully pitiful Yvenna in front of him, he suddenly noticed a faint blue light flickering at his chest.
"Damn!" His heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.
This faint blue light was from the bonding stone.
The bonding stone could transmit voice and images, but it also had a significant drawback.
Because of the vast difference in cultivation levels between him and Sylvia, she could secretly spy on him through the bonding stone, but he couldn\'t do the same.
At this moment, the blue light likely meant Sylvia was observing him through the bonding stone.
Instantly, Timothy transformed into the epitome of a gentleman: "Yvenna, please, we must maintain some decorum. After all, distance makes the heart grow fonder."
Saying this, he extended his hand and very uprightly pushed Yvenna\'s shoulder away.
Yvenna was stunned, looking somewhat bewildered.
Was she being rejected?
But...
Recalling how Timothy had previously guided her in cultivation and helped her confront her past, she couldn\'t believe that the same Brother Timothy who had lied about having a wife to set her on the right path would do such a thing.
What could be the reason then?
Could it be...
Timothy could have entered the Inferno Tower during the day, but why choose the night, causing a sensation throughout the entire Doomed Soul Sect?
Combining all that Brother Timothy had done before, and that recent push...
It must be!
Yvenna felt a sting in her nose, her eyes once again filling with tears.
All that Brother Timothy had done was for her!
Previously, it was to make her face her inner self and focus solely on cultivation.
And everything he did today was to show her...
Though the path of cultivation is long, there is always a light that shines through the darkness!
And this gesture of pushing her away wasn\'t about distancing.
It was Brother Timothy hoping she would succeed in her cultivation before reconsidering their past feelings.
"I never realized Brother Timothy\'s intentions were so profound. If I hadn\'t thought hard, I might have misunderstood!"
Tears blurred her vision as Yvenna cried, her heart making an unprecedented resolution.
She must strive in her cultivation, do everything possible to catch up to Brother Timothy.
Only then would she be worthy of passing Brother Timothy\'s test and fulfilling her heart\'s desire!
"Brother Timothy, thank you."
Though Yvenna didn\'t approach him again, her gaze was tender and full of emotion.
Tears traced her beautiful face, making her look even more delicate and pitiable.
Timothy felt a headache coming on: "Why does it feel like this girl is getting even more complicated?"
