Chapter 37: Ch 37: A Small Conflict

Emrys found himself slightly puzzled by the uniqueness of Lion Falls. Not only did a strange rhythm manifest as the water fell from the lion's mouth but there was also an inexplicable energy present.

As people allow the falling water to wash over them, they can harness the peculiar rhythm to strengthen their Soul Force, Soul River, and even enhance their comprehension of skills.

But what about the strange energy?

Why couldn't anyone else sense it?

It seemed that only Emrys could sense this energy, likely due to the influence of the Multicolored Orb. Without this orb, he might not have been able to detect it either.

However, one thing is certain: if he can climb the twelfth pillar, he can gain unimaginable benefits not only from the rhythm of the falling water but also by absorbing the peculiar energy that had caused the Multicolored Orb to react in such a manner.

"What the hell are you doing here? Get lost, trash!"

While Emrys was lost in thought, a voice mocked him from behind them.

The three of them turned around, only to see two figures standing a few meters away from them. Their eyes were locked on Emrys, and Emrys could feel the disdain in their eyes.

One of them was Number 11 while the other man was Number 9.

Emrys was puzzled at first but he immediately understood that Number 17 must have offended these people somehow as well. He could not help but curse in his heart. Why was he so unlucky to encounter Number 17, 18, and 19?

"I am also a member of the Darkborne Family. Why can't I be here?"

Emrys sneered coldly. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce Number 11 who was also an Advanced Bronze Soul Master.

Number 11's facial expression changed instantly but then he started laughing.

"Heh, a member of the Darkborne Family? Hehehe... Looks like you have forgotten that as long as that mask is on your face, you cannot claim to be a member of the Darkborne Family. You must first climb the ranks and surpass Number 1 in order to truly claim to be a member of the Darkborne Family. I really don't know where you got the guts to be so arrogant. Number 17, what do you think will happen if I report you claiming to be a member of the Darkborne Family?"

Number 11 spat out some ruthless words, surprising Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo. It was mainly true for Cairo. This was the first time he heard that Soul Masters have to climb the rank and surpass Number 1 in order to truly become a member of the Darkborne Family. Before that, they can't claim to be one!

"Never mind about him, he is just a fool. Number 11, look over there."

The eyes of the crowd flickered. As Number 11 approached the pillar, they began to feel nervous.

Number 11's speed was extremely fast. In a very short time, he had already penetrated deep into the Falls's flowing water and arrived near the eleventh pillar, trying to climb it.

At this moment, a strange force spread out from the Falls's flowing water. It slowly wrapped around Number 11's body, causing him to be startled.

Number 11 gritted his teeth. The aura on his body bloomed as he tried his best to resist the strange force, however, he failed.

"BOOM!"

In the next moment, he was sent flying.

Number 11 could not help but cough several a mouthful of blood that soon mixed in water and disappeared.

As expected, climbing the eleventh and twelfth pillars is not that easy.

Emrys clenched his fist. He also started hesitating, not knowing whether to try climbing the twelfth pillar or not. But then he shook his head, looking determined to at least give it a try.

"What are you all looking at?"

Number 11 bellowed furiously at the people looking at him while shaking their heads. His gaze then fell on Emrys who was not even giving him a glance. Emrys was looking at the eleventh and twelfth pillars.

Everyone fell silent and shifted their gazes, fearing that Number 11 might come after them.

Number 11 snorted coldly and then once again started climbing the pillar. He climbed the eighth pillar and kicked the masked man cultivating there, causing the masked man to fall.

Due to the interruption, the masked man spurted out several mouthfuls of blood and fainted on the spot. It was clear that backlash attacked his body due to being interrupted in the middle of cultivation.

Emrys and others were startled. Then they saw that the people below completely ignored that masked man, not giving him a glance. It was as if everything that happened was completely normal.

"No wonder the Darkborne Family is the family of villains!"

Cairo muttered under their breath, shaking his head. Rohan supported his statement by nodding.
