Henry Carter calculated the time and realized he was just over three months older than James Carter. James Carter must have just recently celebrated his sixteenth birthday and gained the qualification to enter the Sanctuary of the Gods.

He didn’t know why, but if humans underwent teleportation before the age of sixteen, it would cause irreversible and severe damage to their bodies. Therefore, the Alliance’s laws stipulated that only those who were sixteen or older could teleport into the Sanctuary of the Gods, regardless of their background.

“Madman, where are we going?” Henry Carter looked at Daniel Bolton and asked. Don’t be fooled by Daniel Bolton’s sunny and handsome appearance—when it came to fighting, he was like a madman, which was how he got his nickname. It wasn’t because his name contained the character “枫.”

“Starlight Martial Arena.” Daniel Bolton’s face lit up with excitement. “Let me tell you, John Turner is going to have an exhibition match at Starlight Martial Arena! That’s John Turner, last year’s fifth Divine Son! And his specialty is that wild and domineering blade technique—my absolute favorite…”

Daniel Bolton spoke passionately, his face full of longing. In this era of universal cultivation, actors, singers, e-sports players, and sports stars had long faded from the stage of history. Now, the most popular celebrities were the martial artists with overwhelming strength.

In the world of the Sanctuary of the Gods, at a specific time each year, every sanctuary’s martial arena would open simultaneously. Those who achieved a certain ranking in the arena could have their names inscribed on the Martial Monument of the arena.

Each year, the top one hundred could have their names left on the Martial Monument of the sanctuary. However, only the person ranked first on the Martial Monument was qualified to participate in the contest of the strongest within the same space. In the end, ten people would be ranked on the Divine Monument and receive the title of Divine Son. Everyone in all the sanctuaries could see the top ten ranked on the Divine Monument.

These ten people were basically the hottest celebrities of the year.

In recent years, the top spot on the Steel Armor Sanctuary’s Martial Monument had always been Emily Bennett, but Emily Bennett’s name had never appeared on the Divine Monument. It seemed her results weren’t good enough to make it into the top ten.

John Turner was last year’s fifth place in the first Sanctuary of the Gods, famous for his fierce and domineering blade technique, which was very popular among young people—sometimes even more so than those ranked higher among the Divine Sons.

For an exhibition match by John Turner, just his appearance fee could reach tens of millions of Left-Spin Coins, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Although Henry Carter already knew how popular John Turner was, he was still shocked when he arrived at Starlight Martial Arena. The stands, which could hold hundreds of thousands of people, were already packed.

Many frenzied fans were holding up signs, loudly shouting John Turner’s name.

When John Turner appeared, some female fans were so excited that, combined with being squeezed by other fans, they actually fainted on the spot.

“If I could make it onto the Divine Rankings just once like John Turner, even if it was only the tenth spot, my life would be worth it,” Daniel Bolton said enviously.

“Madman, you’ll get your chance.” Henry Carter smiled as he looked at the young people around him going wild for John Turner’s appearance.

“It’s tough. I’ve already been in the sanctuary for over three months. Even though I spent money to get some primitive creature flesh and a primitive beast soul, it’s still really hard to hunt mutant creatures. If I could get a mutant beast soul, things would be much easier. But those mutant beast souls—even if I’m willing to pay, there might not be anyone willing to sell.” Daniel Bolton shook his head with a bitter smile.

Henry Carter thought to himself regretfully, “In the sanctuary world, the only thing you can bring out is the beast soul. It’s a pity that beast souls can be used outside the sanctuary but can’t be traded. Otherwise, if I could evolve a few more mutant creatures, I’d definitely get some beast souls and give a few to Madman—it would help him a lot.”

“Haha, then Madman, your luck isn’t as good as mine. I just entered the sanctuary not long ago and already got a mutant beast soul, and it’s even a weapon-type beast soul! Too bad you guys aren’t in Steel Armor Sanctuary, or I’d take you with me to hunt mutant creatures and save you all the trouble.” James Carter puffed out his chest proudly.

“No way! You’ve only been in the sanctuary for a few days and already got a mutant beast soul? Be honest—did you hunt it yourself or buy it?” Daniel Bolton stared wide-eyed at James Carter.

“Of course I hunted it myself,” James Carter said loudly.

Henry Carter smiled wryly to himself. James Carter had a habit since childhood—whenever he lied, he would unconsciously raise his voice. That mutant beast soul was probably bought by his parents for a hefty price.

A mutant beast soul wasn’t cheap—at least several million, and a good one could cost tens of millions. No wonder his aunt and uncle wanted to get their hands on the old house. That much money was a painful expense for them.

Back when the family company was sold, they got a lot of money, but with only spending and no income, it couldn’t last forever. There probably wasn’t much left by now.

On stage, John Turner was indeed impressive. Even though it was just an exhibition match, his blade technique was so fast and fierce that it was almost impossible to see his movements—far beyond what ordinary people could match.
