It was nighttime. In the living room of a luxurious hotel in Chaos City, the Weijia family gathered together. Everyone's face was gloomy. It was so gloomy that water could drip from it.
They had been targeted by the Leopold family, mocked by the enemy family, and laughed at by the other top families. The Weijia family had lost all their face. One could imagine how they were feeling.
Miguel Weijia, who had been targeted by Gray, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He tasted blood in his mouth. He had bitten his lip until it bled.
A brown-haired, middle-aged man looked at Miguel Weijia with a pained expression.
"Elder, you know the strength of that brat from the Leopold Family. Could it be that we can only watch as Miguel loses the qualifications to enter the Tower of Trials?
How about I … "
He did not finish his sentence, but from the murderous look in his eyes, everyone knew what he meant. He wanted to injure or kill that kid from the Leopold family so he could not participate in the fight the next day.
The tall, skinny old man's eyebrows were all white. After hearing what he said, he frowned even harder.
"Don't do anything stupid. If something happens to him, everyone will know it is the Weijia family. Although Fahd became an Annihilation class through some weird means, he is still an Annihilation class. You are no match for him."
"Then what do we do?
With Miguel's power, I am afraid he will have to reach the fourth stage of King class to defeat that kid from the Leopold family. "
The brown-haired, middle-aged man did not want to give up.
"What else can we do?
We have to give up. After all, this is all Miguel's fault. If he loses the right to enter the trial tower, he can only blame himself. "
A man in his 50s coldly laughed.
Many families would give birth to multiple factions, and this was the case in the Weijia family as well. The brown-haired middle-aged man represented the Patriarch's faction, while the fifty-year-old man represented the Patriarch's faction.
When there were outsiders present, they could temporarily put down their conflicts and unite against the outside world, but when there were only their own people, the conflicts would be reignited. Now that there was an opportunity to attack the family head, he immediately began to mock and ridicule them.
"Although this was all Miguel's fault, they have crossed the line. This is not just Miguel's problem. It is related to the entire Weijia family's reputation."
The brown-haired middle-aged man frowned and retorted.
"Is it related to the Weijia family's reputation?
That wasn't caused by Miguel. I think Miguel should be punished. I suggest cutting off his supply of resources for three years. "
The man in his fifties took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"Darco, don't go overboard!"
The brown-haired middle-aged man was furious, and his eyes became unfriendly.
"Alright, quiet down, all of you."
The tall and skinny old man scolded. His majestic aura spread out. The brown-haired middle-aged man and the fifty-year-old man trembled. They knew that they had angered the old man, so they quickly quieted down.
The tall and skinny old man glanced at everyone before looking at Miguel Weijia.
"Just do your best to obtain the right to enter the Trial Tower. If you really can't, just admit defeat. But don't worry, this debt will be settled with the Leopold Family sooner or later. Alright, let's disperse."
The crowd dispersed one after another. The brown-haired middle-aged man returned to his room. Hesitation and conflict appeared on his face, and in the end, it turned into a painful expression. The power of blood touched the rune space bag.
Suddenly, a purple crystal bottle containing a magic potion appeared in his hand. The words "Star Potion" were engraved on the surface of the potion.
The Star Potion was a type of potion that was purple in color. However, within the purple, there were specks of silver light. Because it looked like a sky full of stars, it was called the Star Potion.
This was a type of magic potion that could increase one's strength. Its effect was similar to the Blood Moon Potion, and it was also a level 4 potion.
Originally, he had planned to keep it for himself, but now that Miguel Weijia had encountered such a situation, he finally decided to take it out after some hesitation.
He quickly left the hotel and returned after an hour. However, the Star Potion in his hand had already been diluted into three small bottles. He knocked on Miguel Weijia's door.
"Star Potion, this is the Star Potion?!"
Seeing the potion in the brown-haired middle-aged man's hand, Miguel Weijia's eyes lit up with desire.
A bottle of Star Potion was equivalent to several years of training. Naturally, he would desire something like this.
Unfortunately, in the family, these things were given priority to the upper echelons of the family. After all, they were the pillars of the Weijia family.
"To be precise, this is a diluted version of the Star Potion. You won't be able to withstand the full potion. Hurry up and take it. When the time comes, you will definitely be able to break through to the fourth stage of the king level.
You should be able to fight against him. "Seeing Miguel Weijia's excited face, the brown-haired middle-aged man rubbed Miguel Weijia's head and smiled.
"Thank you, second uncle!"
Miguel Weijia said gratefully. He naturally understood that this bottle of Star Potion must have been given by his second uncle from his own training resources. He was very grateful for this. He even felt that this second uncle in front of him treated him better than his father.
"Alright, don't disappoint me."
The brown-haired middle-aged man patted Miguel Weijia's head and left his room.
He was Miguel Weijia's second uncle, but in reality, he was Miguel Weijia's father.
Miguel Weijia was his and his sister-in-law's son. Of course, only the two of them knew about this. Even Miguel Weijia didn't know.
The next day, near the Chaos Temple's battle stage.
Gray's group of three and the Weijia family's group appeared here. Their goal was naturally to fight for the Trial Tower's spot.
These two groups of people weren't the only ones here. Other than them, there were many people from other top clans. They were all here to watch the show.
There were many top clans that had bad relationships with the Weijia family. Their goal was naturally to see the Weijia family make a fool of themselves.
There would be no exceptions to the result of this battle. The winner would definitely be the disciple of the Leopold family who had reached the Magic Light level. They had grudges with the Weijia family, so they were naturally happy to see the Weijia family lose the battle and lose the right to enter the Trial Tower.
"Hmph, just you wait. I'll give you a surprise!"
Looking at the pairs of eyes that were obviously waiting to see a joke, Miguel Weijia coldly snorted. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile. What was about to happen would definitely give these people a big surprise.
After using the Star Potion, he had successfully advanced. The current him was no longer a 3rd stage King, but a 4th stage King just like the guy from the Leopold family.
With the difference in stage, he knew that he definitely wasn't a match for the guy from the Leopold family. However, now that there was no longer a difference in stage, he naturally didn't think that he would lose to the guy from the Leopold family.
"Damn, how did this guy change so much in one night?
He actually became arrogant. Brother, you have to ruthlessly beat that guy up later. Beat him up until even his father can't recognize him! "
Seeing Miguel Weijia like this, Avery Lanini moved closer to Gray and said fiercely.
"He's indeed a bit different from yesterday … …"
Gray looked at Miguel Weijia with a bit of surprise. Unlike yesterday, Miguel Weijia's body was filled with arrogance and confidence. Even when their gazes met, the other party didn't look away. Instead, he coldly smiled and stared back.
"Could it be that guy … … has some kind of backing?"
Avery Lanini frowned.
The other party's attitude was like he was provoking Gray. A person who had lost to Gray in the past dared to provoke Gray like this. It must have been because he had some kind of backing. That gave him the confidence to fight against Gray.
"Could it be that guy's level … … has a breakthrough?"
Avery Lanini's heart tightened. He couldn't help but look at Gray with a worried gaze.
Miguel Weijia, who was a third stage King, was naturally not Gray's opponent. However, if he had broken through to the fourth stage King level, then it would be hard to say. He also had a dual elemental ability, so his strongest combat power was no weaker than Gray's.
"Backing?"
Gray chuckled. His face was still calm.
Unless his opponent had some kind of backing that allowed him to become as powerful as an Annihilation class elite overnight, there was no way he could beat him.
Even if his opponent became as powerful as an Annihilation class elite overnight, who would win and who would lose would only be known after the fight.
"This seems to be getting interesting."
Among the families that were watching the fight, the three top families were all there. George Lopez of the Lopez family looked very interested.
He could see the confidence that Miguel Weijia was showing. For him to be so confident at a time like this, he must have had some kind of backing.
That made him even more interested. He thought this was a fight that had already been decided. Now, it seemed like the outcome was going to be interesting. A fight like this was going to be much more interesting to watch.
"Sister, why do I feel like Miguel Weijia is different from yesterday?"
A 13 or 14-year-old boy with a bit of baby fat asked Blanca Mandy with confusion.
"Miguel Weijia must have taken a Star Potion and had a breakthrough."
Blanca Mandy looked at Miguel Weijia. She lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear.
The brown-haired, middle-aged man had left the hotel to find an alchemist to dilute the Star Potion. He had been seen by the Manti family. After some investigation, she had a guess.
Now, seeing how confident Miguel Weijia was, her guess was confirmed. He must have taken a Star Potion and had a breakthrough. Otherwise, he would not have been so confident.
"Seeing Miguel Weijia, who clearly has some kind of backing, you do not seem to be worried. What kind of backing do you have?"
Blanca Mandy looked at Gray, who saw the cocky Miguel Weijia and did not change his expression. She looked curious and expectant.
