Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Davy Barnett sneered, “Mr. Dawson told us to allocate resources to them, so I’ll give them!”

“As long as enough people die this time, even if we invite them next time, they won’t dare to participate!”

Jordan Richards suddenly understood and continued, “But… only the bottom-level people will die, and not a single aristocratic young master. Is that reasonable?”

“What’s unreasonable?” Davy Barnett couldn’t help but laugh.

“The strength of the lower class is weak to begin with, and the weak will die. Are the stronger ones supposed to die instead?”

Jordan Richards suddenly realized, and couldn’t help but secretly sigh, the old are cunning indeed.

So, Jordan Richards turned around and walked out.

He stood once more in front of the crowd and slowly said, “This journey will be fraught with danger, and the Association will do its best to ensure everyone’s safety.”

“Of course, if anyone is afraid, they can leave now.”

Everyone below remained silent. This hard-won opportunity, how could they let it slip away?

Jordan knew this would happen, so he wasn’t surprised, and instead took out eighteen bracelets.

These bracelets were engraved with numerous characters, and seemed to contain a special power.

“Everyone will receive a bracelet, and as long as you wear them, I can know your whereabouts,” Jordan said.

Then, Jordan had someone distribute the bracelets.

After obtaining the bracelets, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but examine them carefully.

He channeled a wisp of spiritual power into the bracelet, only to discover a powerful force contained within.

This force did not seem unowned and was obviously specially crafted.

“There may be something fishy about these bracelets,” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.

He looked up toward Jordan and shouted, “I don’t want to wear these bracelets, and I suggest that everyone else not wear them either.”

Everyone immediately turned to Ethan, their eyes betraying a degree of incomprehension.

Jordan said coldly, “Ethan, you’d better not make trouble!”

Ethan ignored Jordan and shouted, “I suspect these bracelets will be used to control us. Once we put them on, we may become fish in a barrel.”

Upon hearing Ethan’s words, the common cultivators from the lower strata were horrified.

In their hearts, Ethan was like a god, so his words carried great weight.

At the top, Jordan’s face turned cold, and his fist clenched slightly.

He sneered, “It’s up to you if you don’t want to wear it, but without this bracelet, you won’t be eligible to participate in this training! That’s the rule, so do as you please!”

Ethan’s brow furrowed as he rubbed the bracelet.

“Mr. Smith, just put it on. Don’t the children from those aristocratic families also wear the bracelets?” Someone advised nearby.

Ethan didn’t say a word. Although he thought there was something off about the bracelet, the opportunity to train this time was essential, and he couldn’t miss it.

So, he took a deep breath and eventually put the bracelet on his wrist.

Seeing this scene, a cold smile surfaced at the corner of Jordan’s mouth, though it was barely detectable.

He folded his arms behind his back and slowly said, “Once everyone has put on their bracelets, get ready to leave.”

As the benchmark for the martial arts world, the Capital City Martial Arts Association had an incredibly powerful financial base.

This trip even included a chartered plane.

The plane soared through the sky, heading toward Training Island.

Sitting on the plane, Ethan Smith clearly felt several murderous intentions coming his way from the shadows.

Two of them were the strongest.

Following the murderous spirit, he found the sources were Dexter Blair and Dudley Lynch!

Dudley was wearing a black robe, his visage concealed, with only a pair of vulture-like eyes exposed.

While Dexter was furious, glaring, and looking as if he wanted to swallow Ethan whole.

Ethan’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but snort coldly.

He slowly got up and walked toward Dudley, casually sitting down next to him.

“I didn’t expect you to still be alive, beast.” Ethan said coldly.

Dudley’s voice was hoarse, “If I haven’t killed you yet… How could I die… ?”

Seeing Dudley like this, Ethan couldn’t help but mock, “With your current half-human, half-ghost appearance?”

Upon hearing this, Dudley’s face flashed with anger!

“If it weren’t for you… How could I be like this now?!” Dudley was filled with murderous spirit!

“Ethan, rest assured, even if the Capital City Martial Arts Association doesn’t kill you, I’ll personally slaughter you!”

Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, “I want to see what kind of creature is hidden within your body as well.”

Dudley’s face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, not saying anything else.

The plane sped through the air for more than four hours before finally landing on a huge island.

As soon as he disembarked, Ethan Smith felt a surge of rich qi.

This qi filled the entire island, resulting in lush growth, teeming with life.

The island was immense, and Ethan tried to extend his divine sense only to find that his vast divine sense couldn’t cover the entire island.

“The resources in the hands of the Capital City Martial Arts Association are truly legendary,” Ethan thought silently.

Even the resources they casually threw away contained such strong qi, who knew how many more of these places they possessed.

“From now on, everyone listen to my orders,” Jordan said coldly with his hands behind him.

As the day gradually darkened, Jordan said coldly, “We’ll start our mission tomorrow morning, and everybody can rest for now.”

Upon hearing this, everyone scattered.

Some people chatted in groups, some found a place to sleep, and there were those like Ethan who wanted to take the lead.

The eighteen people unknowingly formed three forces.

The first was led by Dominic Taylor, representing the Capital City circle, the second was the average martial artists without any backing, and the third was the loners like Ethan.

Ethan stood by the seaside and bent down to scoop up a handful of seawater and sniff it.

“There’s qi in this seawater,” Ethan was extremely surprised.

Human exploration of the underwater world was far from enough, and nobody knew what secrets lay beneath the sea.

“There’s a possibility that the qi on land has been depleted, and it has all sunk beneath the seawater,” an audacious idea flashed through Ethan’s mind!

He let go of the seawater in his hand and decided to dive into the sea to investigate.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from not far away!

A dazzling light illuminated a large swath of the sky!

The sound immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and Ethan’s gaze couldn’t help but follow as well.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ethan’s brow furrowed, and his face turned cold.
