Adrian’s earlier words revealed a harsh truth. By calling everyone useless, he was specifically pointing out Greg’s incompetence. As a result, Greg stood there like a turtle retreating into its shell, too afraid to advance. Naturally, the crowd saw him as completely worthless. Although Greg was considered a prodigy, he appeared no better than trash in Adrian’s presence.This situation only intensified the crowd's disdain for him. Every prodigy had their pride, and Adrian’s insult had been particularly harsh, leaving Greg utterly humiliated. The crowd's doubtful gazes turned toward him.Greg could feel their disdain, which ignited his anger. It was clear that no one here intended to follow him.“You’re just a bunch of useless cowards. Fine, stay here and wait all you want!” he shouted before charging into the golden light, clearly following closely behind Adrian.Greg thought that although he couldn’t defeat Adrian now, he believed the right opportunity would come. He wanted Adrian

Adrian smiled calmly and said, “What’re you talking about? Since you came in with me, we’re allies. We’ll need to support each other as we walk this path together.” He already considered Tyron a friend and treated his friends accordingly. Tyron felt a wave of guilt wash over him. From the beginning until now, he hadn’t been able to help Adrian much at all. In fact, it was Adrian who had constantly assisted him, making Tyron feel somewhat useless.“Don’t overthink it. Let’s keep moving forward. When we come across something good, I won’t hesitate to claim it,” Adrian encouraged.“Of course, Mr. Adrian. Your strength is well-deserved. I’m just riding on your coattails. All these treasures should be yours. I’m only tagging along and picking up scraps,” Tyron replied awkwardly. It was indeed how he felt. Ever since he started following Adrian, he sensed he had no real contribution to make, merely benefiting from Adrian’s efforts.Suddenly, a sound echoed from the distance, causing Adr

"What should we do now?" Tyron asked, his expression grim.Being trapped here meant one thing: breaking this formation was not an option."I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the formation to activate its teleportation," Tyron said helplessly.Adrian's eyes gleamed sharply as he coldly responded, "No matter how terrifying this formation is, I refuse to believe there isn't a way to break it. Stay here, Tyron. I’ll investigate the formation for any weaknesses." He began surveying his surroundings, forming intricate seals with his hands as he sought out potential flaws in the formation.Watching Adrian, Tyron felt a wave of shame wash over him. Adrian's control over the situation was far beyond his expectations. Following him made Tyron feel like an ineffectual bystander, constantly reliant on Adrian’s strength. All he could do was watch in silence.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The winds roared as Adrian's figure darted around, causing the formation to shake violently. In an instant, the v

Adrian smiled and said, “That’s beside the point. Let’s head out and see what spirit treasures await us!” His eyes gleamed with anticipation as if he could already see the treasures before him.After all, he had entered this place for extraordinary spirit treasures. Without them, there would have been no purpose in coming here.Tyron didn’t reply, but his eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of discovering these treasures. After all, no one could ever have too many spirit treasures. The pair was filled with anticipation, eager to uncover what lay ahead.Stepping into the gaping hole, brilliant light flickered around them, gently enveloping them as if rewarding their passage. The light was surprisingly soothing, filling them with a comforting sensation.Adrian smiled and remarked, “The person who set up this formation must be incredibly powerful. It’s indeed quite formidable. If someone lacking skill in formations entered here, even those at the Astral Stage would likely fi

At that moment, Greg said coldly, “See? I told you it was a trap Adrian had set. You all didn’t believe me. Now you must, right?” He was clearly looking for another way to blame Adrian. In his eyes, Adrian was courting death.Hearing Greg’s words, the others felt their anger rise. They naturally believed him. After all, Adrian was right in front of them, and after he and Greg had left, they had fallen into this trap. To them, it was unforgivable. They were convinced this was all connected to Adrian. Nothing in this world was so coincidental.If Adrian could hear their thoughts, he would probably just sneer at their naivety and their tendency to doubt their own judgments. But none of this concerned him. Even if he knew what they were thinking, he wouldn’t care. Their opinions wouldn’t affect him at all.The group rushed forward, desperately trying to escape as the golden light came crashing down around them. After a great effort, they finally broke free from it. At that moment, they
