But Andrew Carter gave a fierce, forceful twist, and Victor Carter screamed in pain again, quickly dropping to his knees.

“Kowtow and apologize!”

“Uncle Grant, I was wrong, I’m a beast, please be magnanimous, don’t hold it against me…”

Tears streamed down Uncle Glenn’s old face; he was simply overjoyed. What made him happy wasn’t that he’d gotten revenge for his humiliation, but that Young Andrew had suddenly come to his senses!

The master finally had an heir!

He knew better than anyone that Harold Carter was a hero of his generation, the number one fighting force of the Anhuai Sun family, but every time he thought of having no successor, and that the powerful Night Song Sword would have no one to inherit it, he could only sigh in the middle of the night.

He didn’t even dare show it in front of the two sons.

But now, Young Andrew had been reborn—no matter why he suddenly changed, the fact that Young Andrew was rising was a blessing for the master.

Andrew Carter gave Victor Carter a hard shove: “Get lost!”

His cultivation level was indeed slightly lower than Victor Carter, who had been stuck at the Four Meridians for a long time, but the Immortal Emperor’s Heart Demon was subtly transforming him.

Anger, one of the seven sins, one of the seven sins and eight sufferings the Immortal Emperor cut down from his heart demon—when his anger reached a critical point, it would automatically activate a certain “state.” In this state, all of Andrew Carter’s aptitudes would be enhanced by the Immortal Emperor’s Heart Demon.

Although his cultivation was a bit lower, his grasp of timing in battle, his skillful use of martial techniques, and his ability to spot his opponent’s weaknesses far surpassed the half-baked Victor Carter. So in a life-and-death fight, Victor Carter was bound to lose!

A few lackeys hurried over to help Victor Carter up and fled in panic.

A group of people left the manor, mounted their horses, and galloped away. On horseback, Victor Carter cursed loudly: “Andrew Carter, you useless trash, how dare you injure me! Just you wait, you’ll regret this, my big brother will definitely kill you!

And that sickly little brother of yours, I’ll make sure he dies young. I swear on my life, I won’t let him live past ten!”

Chapter 4: Vital Energy Auspicious Clouds

Uncle Grant naturally had servants helping him down to rest and recover from his injuries. The manor steward was also very attentive, taking out some of the few healing elixirs from the estate’s stores for Uncle Grant to take.

Andrew Carter’s sudden outburst—no matter what happened in the future, at least for now, these insolent servants no longer dared to neglect the two of them.

As for Andrew Carter, he returned to his own room. Only in the dim light could one see that the dark flames in his eyes were slowly extinguishing.

He withdrew from that state, but he could feel that something had changed just now.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that sensation was still there—or rather, that “feeling” was now under his control, and he could enter that combat state whenever he wished.

“So this is the effect of the Immortal Emperor’s Heart Demon?” Andrew Carter muttered to himself. Calming his mind, he began to seriously examine his own cultivation.

He circulated the “Xuanhuang Qi-Guiding Technique” a little, and the vital energy within him surged forth. The four meridians he had already opened were incredibly smooth, and the speed at which his vital energy flowed far surpassed the time when he only had three meridians.

This feeling was simply wonderful, and for a moment he was reluctant to stop. So he took the opportunity to continue cultivating.

Last night’s improvement was due to the Immortal Emperor’s Heart Demon, but today’s cultivation would rely entirely on himself.

Once he fully activated the Xuanhuang Qi-Guiding Technique, his already powerful spiritual perception suddenly rose to a new level, and he opened up a whole new “vision.”

He didn’t need to use his eyes to see; he could sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, lively like little elves, drawing close to him with great intimacy.

They moved about, unconscious, floating like bubbles, colorful and very cute.

And this “vision” was something he’d never had before—in the past, he could only sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as sluggish and slow when absorbing it.

The vortex of the Xuanhuang Qi-Guiding Technique had also expanded several times. Previously, its diameter was only half a zhang, but now it had reached three zhang!

Clusters of heaven and earth vital energy were drawn in and merged into his body. Andrew Carter felt that his cultivation speed was nearly ten times faster than before!

After two hours, Andrew Carter had completed nine great cycles, and the heaven and earth vital energy he had absorbed and deposited in his body was immense.

Within his meridians, the vital energy surged like a tide, and he could even hear the sound of it flowing through his meridians.

He felt he was about to break through—that thin barrier seemed just a little more effort away from being pierced.

But he was still just a bit short—Andrew Carter wasn’t anxious at all. Because his countless experiences of “slow cultivation” had already forged his patience. Now, being able to break through in a single night, how could he not wait just a few more hours?

He continued to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth at high speed for another half hour, and Andrew Carter felt his meridians had reached their limit.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make any further progress. He sighed inwardly, stopped his technique, and opened his eyes.

He was already at the peak of Four Meridians. In just one day, he had gone from Three Meridians to the peak of Four Meridians—such cultivation speed was truly unprecedented and unmatched!
