Evan Grant closed his eyes and looked inward, using the faint trace of true qi within his body to continuously heal his injuries, when a crisp female voice, sounding about eighteen or nineteen years old, came in!

It was the medical staff coming in to change his bandages!

"Handsome young man from the East, I heard that for the one you love, you went alone into the Nightblood Forest, trying to capture a fifth-rank magical beast, the Bloodhowl Eagle, as a gift for her. Is that true?"

Evan Grant didn't even open his eyes, continuing to tend to his wounds!

"Hehe, not saying anything means you're shyly admitting it! Nightblood Forest, Bloodhowl Eagle—the Bloodhowl Eagle is a fifth-rank flying magical beast, holding a huge advantage in the air. Even high-level warriors above the seventh rank don't dare to go after it, yet you, handsome guy, are truly courageous! To win the favor of your beloved, you ventured deep into the dangerous C-level Nightblood Forest with only third-rank strength!"

"Who is Adam Reed?"

"Adam Reed?" The nurse was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to suddenly change the subject. Then, looking at Evan Grant as if he were a monster, she exclaimed in disbelief, "You can't possibly not know the name of Dragon Knight Adam Reed, can you? Lord Adam Reed is the pride of our entire Xingyao City, with an astonishing natural talent for cultivation. At only twenty-two, he reached the eighth rank and became a disciple of the Innate Secret Realm—Master Daniel Brooks, becoming the only true disciple of Master Brooks. His status is extremely prestigious! His mount is a dragon foal beast with dragon blood, capable of fighting a seventh-rank high-level warrior on its own!" At this point, the young girl, only eighteen or nineteen, blushed slightly, a trace of uncontrollable admiration appearing in her eyes!

"The title of Dragon Knight comes from this!"

"Dragon blood? There are really dragons in this world?"

"Oh my, handsome guy, did you give all your history lessons back to the teacher? We were even tested on this question back then! Well, although we've never seen a real dragon, the history books do record it. In New Era Year 2... uh, it should be New Era Year 2, anyway, the year when the power of the Moon Demon Realm first broke into our world... At that time, demons ran rampant, magical beasts ravaged the land, chaos everywhere, sky and earth, not a single place was peaceful! At the critical moment, the peerless expert The Clark Family emerged, fighting the Dragon Emperor at Snowy Peak... Oh, back then it wasn't called Snowy Peak, I think it was called something Zhu... something Ma Peak..."

"Mount Everest?"

"Yes, yes! It was called Mount Everest! Sigh, that was more than four hundred years ago, how could I possibly remember..."

"More than four hundred years ago? Mount Everest was the name from over four hundred years ago?"

"That's right! Since you can name this mountain, how could you not know when its name changed?" At this, the girl showed an even deeper look of admiration than she had for Dragon Knight Adam Reed, and said enviously, "Back then, the peerless expert The Clark Family, with supreme mystical power, defeated the Dragon Emperor, subdued the ten elders of the dragon clan, and forced the dragons to sign a non-aggression treaty for the aerial domain with us humans. Without this treaty, we humans could never have gained even the slightest advantage or respite in the skies, nor would there be a peaceful sanctuary like Sky City! Lord The Clark Family is truly the benefactor of all humanity! Ever since then, that entire mountain range was renamed Snowy Peak, given entirely to the dragons as their territory. Any human wishing to enter that range must get permission from the dragons, otherwise it's considered an invasion, and the dragons have every right to kill any intruding humans!"

"Moon Demon Realm, dragon clan, The Clark Family, Sky City..."

For an ordinary person hearing all this for the first time, their mind would surely be thrown into chaos. However, Evan Grant had already prepared himself somewhat, so although he was shocked by these new terms, he quickly calmed down!

"I remember Mount Everest was the highest peak during the Common Era, but..."

"Eh? You even remember things from the Common Era? If I hadn't been the history class representative back then, I wouldn't know these inside stories! But now, Mount Everest is no longer the highest peak. In New Era Year 2... which would be around Common Era 2018, at that time, Mount Everest was forcibly pushed down by a thousand meters by the peerless expert The Clark Family with supreme divine power. Now, the highest peak is the Holy Mountain of Light, where the City of Light is located!"

"Common Era 2018... New Era Year 2, now it's June 28, New Era Year 419... It's already 422 years later! A peerless expert flattened Mount Everest by a thousand meters... What kind of terrifying power is that? Even detonating a nuclear bomb couldn't destroy such a massive mountain to that extent! And the dragon clan, Moon Demon Realm, Moon God Realm, Sky City—what on earth has happened in these 422 years, what kind of world has the outside become now!"

One question after another connected together, bringing confusion but also stirring a series of inner tremors in Evan Grant's heart!

Yet behind this wave of inner turmoil, what was hidden was not worry or fear of the unknown, but rather... excitement, exhilaration!

Yes!

Excitement!

When he heard the term Innate Secret Realm just now, he was still a little uncertain!
