Mrs. and Mr. Smith

He said indifferently, “Not only do you have to win, but you have to win thoroughly.”

“If necessary, we will invite the Marquis to take action.”

Dexter Blair hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No need, the Marquis was also defeated by me!”

“Then let’s congratulate Dexter Blair in advance!” Kylan Taylor raised his cup, and everyone stood up immediately.

…

Time flew by.

Ethan Smith entered the selfless state, and the absorption of dark energy seemed innate.

The dark energy in his body had almost reached a balance with the yang energy, and the qi in his dantian was enough to support him stepping into the Military Marquis Realm!

“Mr. Smith, it’s time.”

That day, Sofia Carrillo gently patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder.

But Ethan Smith did not respond, his legs still closed together, eyes slightly closed.

“Ah, you’re too gentle, this won’t work.” Edward Green muttered.

Then, he raised his foot and kicked Ethan Smith hard.

Closing the barrier was the most vulnerable time.

So, this kick directly knocked Ethan Smith flat on his back.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the dazzling sun.

“Is it time already?” Ethan Smith sat up from the ground.

He frowned tightly, and a look of worry spread across his face.

“Mr. Smith, how are you doing?” Edward Green asked.

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “The qi is clearly enough, but I just can’t step into the Martial Marquis realm.”

September 9th was the next day, and Ethan Smith had no time left.

“Mr. Smith, or… just forget it,” Edward Green said.

Ethan Smith took a deep breath and said, “No matter what, I will not let Emily marry Dexter Blair.”

Even thinking about it, Ethan Smith found it hard to accept!

Just then, Ethan Smith felt someone coming outside.

Ethan Smith looked towards the doorway and then left the back mountain.

He arrived in the courtyard and saw Adonis Williams and Conrad Schroeder gathered there.

Besides them, William Richardson and Clare Richardson were also there!

“Ethan Smith!”

The first to run over was Clare Richardson.

She grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm and whispered, “You can’t let Sister Emily marry that jerk Dexter Blair!”

Ethan Smith patted Clare Richardson’s hair and forced a smile, “Don’t worry, even if it costs me my life, I won’t let Dexter Blair succeed.”

“Clare, hurry up and go stand aside, don’t delay your brother Ethan’s important matters.” William Richardson reprimanded her from the side.

Ethan Smith looked at everyone and said, “Please come inside.”

When they entered the living room, Sofia Carrillo prepared a pot of tea for everyone.

“Mr. Smith, what realm are you at now?” Conrad Schroeder couldn’t help asking.

Ethan Smith frowned and said, “Half-step Martial Marquis.”

“Half-step Martial Marquis?” A trace of surprise flashed across Conrad Schroeder’s face, but he was also somewhat worried.

“Mr. Smith, it seems that Dexter Blair just killed a Martial Marquis,” Conrad Schroeder said solemnly.

Ethan Smith nodded, “I know, these days, I’ve been trying to break through to the Martial Marquis realm, but I don’t know why, everything seems to be in place, but I just feel like something is missing.”

Conrad Schroeder couldn’t help looking horrified.

The gap between him, the former number one in Chuzzle, and Ethan Smith was getting bigger and bigger.

“In just one year, stepping into the Martial Marquis realm is terrifying.” Conrad Schroeder couldn’t help exclaiming.

But Ethan Smith remained silent.

Now he had no mood to marvel at his own talent, but was worried about how to step into the Martial Marquis realm.

“It is said that to step into the Martial Marquis realm, one needs a certain opportunity and epiphany, and cultivation alone won’t work.” Adonis Williams, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Ethan Smith looked at Adonis Williams and asked, “Master Williams, what do you mean by opportunity and epiphany?”

Adonis Williams was silent for a moment, then said, “Everything is ready, just waiting for the wind.”

Everything is ready, just waiting for the wind?

Ethan Smith was a smart man, and he quickly understood the meaning of this sentence.

“So… it depends on heaven to decide.” Ethan Smith frowned tightly.

Adonis Williams nodded slightly and said, “Yes, many people feel the breakthrough coming unconsciously.”

“Of course, nothing is absolute, and some people try to forcefully break through to the Martial Marquis realm, but the success rate is extremely low.”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but think of the Pavilion Master.

She suppressed her realm for many years, but broke through to the Martial Marquis realm quickly when she wanted to.

How did she manage to do that?

“Ethan Smith, no matter which path you take, it’s too late.” Adonis Williams sighed.

Ethan Smith smiled bitterly, “Yeah, I plan to go to the Capital City today.”

“So soon?” William Richardson frowned.

He grabbed Ethan Smith’s hand and asked, “Do you really want to go to the Capital City?”

Ethan Smith nodded and said, “I have to.”

William Richardson frowned and sighed, “If you’re going to die, I don’t think Miss Taylor would let you do this.”

Ethan Smith slowly sat up.

He gazed into the distance and said, “It won’t be that easy for them to kill me.”

He had already been looking forward to fighting Dexter Blair for a long time.

This high and mighty elegantly dressed young man, Ethan Smith had long wanted to beat his disgusting face into pulp.

“Ethan Smith, Dexter Blair is not like other opponents, he may be the strongest enemy you’ve ever faced.” Adonis Williams slowly said.

Ethan Smith smiled, “I know, after all, he is an aristocratic genius from the Capital City.”

Having said that, Ethan Smith paused, and continued, “But which great achiever has reached their position without trampling on geniuses along the way.”

Everyone was silent.

They wanted to advise Ethan Smith, but they understood that his mind was already made up.

“Edward Green, go prepare some food.” Ethan Smith said to Edward Green.

Edward Green agreed, and left the room.

The atmosphere during this meal was a bit strange.

Everyone’s mood was quite heavy.

After the meal, everyone planned to leave, as Ethan Smith was about to set off for the Capital City.

But at this moment, Clare Richardson suddenly pulled Ethan Smith’s arm, and said, “Ethan Smith, come here, I have something to tell you.”

“Clare, don’t make a fuss!” William Richardson scolded.

Clare Richardson ignored William Richardson, she dragged Ethan Smith into another room.

“What’s wrong?” Ethan Smith asked, amused by Clare Richardson’s anxious expression.

Clare Richardson glanced around and said, “I just heard them say that stepping into the realm of the Martial Marquis requires an opportunity, right?”

Ethan Smith nodded, “Yeah.”

Clare Richardson gritted her teeth and said, “I am that pure dark energy body they speak of, I know that dual cultivation can bring benefits, maybe… maybe that will help you step into the Martial Marquis realm.”
