Chapter 374 I'll Wipe Out His Whole Family

"You know my sister?" Stout was also somewhat surprised.

Upon receiving Stout's confirmation, Bob Stokes sucked in a sharp breath. He quickly apologized, "Uh, well, Stout, I was just joking earlier. Don't take it to heart, okay? I'll treat you to a nice meal, just don't complain to your sister about me!"

"Haha!" Azure Dragon burst into laughter. "Bob, are you really that afraid of her?"

"Uh..." Bob's lips twitched. "I respect her."

Billy raised an eyebrow. "Should I give her a call and tell her that you bullied Stout?"

"My dear brother, please don't stir up trouble," Bob shivered. "Alright, I admit it. I'm scared of Ivy. I can't beat her in a fight, and I can't out-insult her. Plus, she's a master of medical poison with incredible skills. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps!"

Stout's sister, a genius of Secret Essences, had extraordinary martial skills, and her expertise in medical poison was on par with Billy's. She was one of the top talents for Ether Mountain, and Bob knew her well.

"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter again.

"By the way, boss, you might not know this, but Ivy has been summoned to Ether Mountain by that old man again." Bob informed Billy.

"What's the reason this time?" Billy smiled slightly.

"I don't know, but I assume he has something to instruct her." Bob replied.

"She's gone to Ether Mountain again? She hadn't left when I returned to Secret Essences a while ago." Stout said in surprise.

"She left a couple of days before I came to the capital." Bob explained.

After some more chatting, the crowd continued to clamor for Bob Stokes to treat them to a big meal, and naturally, Bob didn't refuse.

Over the next few days, as everyone had guessed, Billy spent his time supervising their training, with only breaks for meals and sleep. The fighting skills of them were decent, but they fell far short of Billy's expectations. Lately, Billy had a feeling that there might be significant changes in the global situation soon, especially with the Sanctum of Darkness; that was definitely the epicenter. Furthermore, that old man had mentioned that the hidden clans and ancient martial sects were showing signs of restlessness.

Billy didn't have the luxury of time to wait for his comrades to mature. Starting from the third day, he began assisting them in their breakthroughs using medical techniques and various supportive elixirs. Despite being pushed to their limits and enduring strenuous training, the joy of making progress shone in their eyes.

Casey had reached the War Grandmaster Perfection stage, just one step away from becoming a true War Emperor. Azure Dragon had been a Tier-one War Grandmaster, while Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise had officially reached the War Grandmaster realm.

Azure Fang, Frostblade, and Night Orchid had all broken through to the Warlord Peak stage, while Judge and Soul Chaser had been Tier-two Warlords. Stout faced a greater challenge in his breakthrough, but with Billy's assistance, he smoothly entered the War Grandmaster realm.

During this time, Billy also imparted the Dragon Mastery Fist Technique to everyone, giving them another Emperor-level martial skill in addition to their sword techniques. With time, when everyone

reached the legendary realm, their combined strength would be truly terrifying. While there was only a realm gap between a War God-Emperor and a War Emperor, the two were entirely different concepts. True battles between War God-Emperors often depended on their martial skills in addition to their cultivation. Without Emperor-level martial skills, their combat strength would be greatly compromised.

"That's enough for now. Azure Dragon and Stout, stay behind. The rest of you can return to your posts." Billy said after ten days, as they gathered in the meeting hall once again.

"Boss, are you having Azure Dragon stay behind to help him propose?" Black Tortoise grinned.

"Just you with your loose tongue." Azure Dragon shot back.

"Vermilion Bird, how far have you progressed with Eleanor Lawson?" Billy ignored Black Tortoise's comment and asked Vermilion Bird.

"Uh..." Vermilion Bird hesitated for a moment. "Weren't we discussing Azure Dragon's matters? How did it switch to me?"

Frostblade burst into laughter and said, "Don't underestimate Vermilion Bird, he's got plenty of charm! Eleanor's been smitten by him for over a year now. She keeps coming to my place every few days to inquire about Vermilion Bird. I think she's itching to get married right away."

"Oh! Vermilion Bird, you're quite the catch!" Judge commented.

"Get lost!" Vermilion Bird glanced at him and then said to Billy, "Boss, she said she wanted to go to the western region with me, and asked me for a position in the army."

"Things have really escalated, huh?" Black Tortoise clicked his tongue and teased, "Are you kidnapping an innocent woman now?"

Night Orchid giggled, "Tortoise, you must be feeling mischievous. Be careful. Vermilion Bird might decide to give you a good beating."

"Forget about the position in the army," Billy said with a faint smile. "Once she joins the ranks, she won't have as much freedom. If she wants to go to the western region, take her there and let her get to know you better."

"Got it!" Vermilion Bird responded loudly.

"Alright, everyone, off you go!" Billy waved them away. "When you get back, focus on your training. If anyone's still stuck in the same place next time we meet, you'll have a month of seclusion!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Understood!" Casey led the group as they left.

"Boss, should we prepare some gifts for Azure Dragon's girlfriend, in his name?" Night Orchid asked with a smile after everyone had gone.

"Not for now. Let's see how it goes first." Billy replied, waving his hand.

"Boss, do I have to go?" Azure Dragon seemed a bit hesitant. "Maybe we should just forget about it."

"Azure Dragon, normally you don't act this timid even when you're beheading small fry," Stout chimed in with a serious tone. "It's just meeting your future father-in-law. What's there to be emarrassed about? Don't worry, if he disagrees, I'll wipe out his entire clan!"

"Ahem!" Azure Dragon coughed, "You little brat, you don't understand anything. Just go away."

"Alright, let's go!" Billy stood up and headed for the door, with Azure Dragon and the others following closely behind.

Azure Dragon's girlfriend, Alana Shelton, had recently graduated as a clinical doctor. Over a year ago, while Azure Dragon was on an assignment in the capital city, he had met her by chance. It was love at first sight. In the year they had been together, Alana only knew Azure Dragon as a soldier but had never inquired about his specific role or rank. In her words, she liked Azure Dragon as a person, and his profession didn't matter to her.

This stubborn guy, Azure Dragon, had never voluntarily mentioned that he was the Legion Commander of the Western Army.
