The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 568

Nek probably thought he could destroy David so easily.

The next time they meet, David will switch roles so that Nek knows what it's like to be an ant.

“Hahh... Huff.. Hahh... Huff...

After taking a few deep breaths, David closed his eyes to try to re-compose his body to its best condition. A few minutes later, David opened his eyes. Then, he opened his system panel and clicked on his Body enhancement.

A window appeared.

[This increase will cost 1000 luxury points. After upgrading, the host body would change from a level 6 Sovereign to a level 7 Sovereign. Please confirm.]

There are two options below: Yes and No.

Of course, David chose Yes.

The system shone and David felt a gust of warm air entering his body.

A few seconds later, the system returned to normal. Without wasting any time, David continued to upgrade his body. When he finished raising his body and mind strength to a level 10 Sovereign Rank, David had already spent a total of 13000 luxury points. Now David's combat power was at the Saint Realm Partial stage.

Although David was a Partial Saint, this was not enough. Saint Partial was not the goal. He had been preparing and planning for so long, so he wanted to advance further. He wanted to improve his Body again to reach the Saint Realm.

He had crossed so many ranks, ranging from the late Sovereign Rank directly to the Saint Realm. If word got out and outsiders found out, this would shock everyone in the Star Kingdom, including the Sacred Saint masters. This is completely unprecedented. This might never happen in the entire universe, let alone Star Kingdom.

In the meantime, David will definitely make unwritten history. After quieting down, David continued the upgrade. The pop-up window appears again.

[This increase will require 10,000 luxury points. After being upgraded, the host body would change from a level 10 Sovereign to a level 10 Pre-Saint. The host's body would also change from an Eternal body to a Saint's body. Therefore, it would not be affected by the Eternal Calamity to achieve true immortality. Does the host want to confirm this increase?]

There are still two options. Yes and No. David chose Yes without even thinking about it. The system disappeared in front of him. At the same time, he felt an enormous burst of energy flowing into his body. He was overwhelmed by the intense pain that felt as if it would take his life. David gritted his teeth to endure the pain. He knew he had to endure it in order for his body to change successfully. The process of changing from an Eternal body to a Saint body was extremely slow. Every cell of the body must evolve before it is considered successful.

On the other hand, Alba did not leave immediately after David's departure. He still has a lot of questions.

"Grandfather Val, why did you ask to see David?" ask Alba.

"Why? Can't I invite him to talk?" Valerio asked with a grin.

“Not so, but I just want to know. You don't know him, do you?”

“I don't know him, but I do it now after chat.”

"What are you talking about?"

“I want to know more about his identity and background. However, even though he was young, he was very smart. Besides knowing he had a teacher, I don't know anything else. I think he might have intentionally told us about his master." Valerio shook his head and said.

David is certainly the smartest young man he has ever met. It is difficult to get useful information from such a person. Frankly, even if Valerio gets something from him, it's because David wants him to know. Even so, he wasn't sure if what he knew was true.

“So you're just talking, right? There are no disagreements or conflicts between the two of you, right?” ask Alba worriedly.

“Alba, do I look unreasonable? After all, David was a big client of Treasure Trove, so how could I possibly disagree with him? The company is currently unstable. I might even start adoring him.”

“Kakek Val, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean that. But David is not simple. I'm afraid there will be a dispute between the two of you. It wouldn't be good even if there was a small misunderstanding." explained Alba quickly.

“Of course, I know that. He was very young but he could take over 10 trillion Dollar Stars without batting an eye. He must have a very powerful force backing him up. Besides, I can't even see the strength of this child. There would be no more than ten young people like this in the entire Star Kingdom, both in the light and dark. Archimedes is still one level below them.” complains Valerio.

"Impossible! you can't see through David? You are a partial Saint, Grandpa Val!” Alba widened her beautiful eyes and asked in surprise.

"What's so surprising about that? Anyone below the Saint Realm was an ant, and the Partial Saint was just a slightly stronger ant."

"But David was very young. Why can't you see through him?" Alba still couldn't believe it.

“Just because you're young doesn't mean you're weak. Some extremely talented geniuses would break through nature as easily as eating or drinking. For them, there are no obstacles. Of course, there is another possibility. David may have a treasure, or he knows the technique of self-concealment." Valerio explained.

"I think it might be the last one" Alba said firmly.

"Oh? How are you so sure?”

“That's women's intuition." said Alba looking confident.

He was very interested in the young man named David. He had never seen such a person in Star Kingdom. Maybe David is just what he said. He had always trained with his master and had just been released. If not, he would have been popular.

He will not hide well. For example, what happened at the auction today. Archimedes and David fought and raised the mid-level Soulbound Weapon to 11 trillion, a very high price. It will definitely soon spread throughout the entire Sacred Central Continent. Then, it would spread throughout Star Kingdom.

David's name will enter the ears of many, and soon, there will be people digging into his identity and background. Even if they were unable to find the actual details, there would be many different versions of fake news circulating.

“Alba, I have a question for you.” said Valerio suddenly.

"What do you want to know? Please ask me and I will answer honestly.” replied Alba.

“Last time you told me that there is an opportunity to resolve family difficulties and help us get out of control of the Palmore family. Is this related to David?”

After Valerio asked that, his eyes fell on Alba. When Alba heard this question, she froze. He could not return to his senses after a long time to answer that question. Valerio's question was too sudden. He never expected Grandpa Val would guess that David had anything to do with what he said last time just from this short conversation.

These old men had lived for so long, so none of them were simple. After regaining consciousness, Alba knew she could not hide anymore. Since Grandpa Val asked him that, he must have had a reason to do so. Moreover, this might not be a bad thing even if he knew. As long as they had his help, the time it took the East League Trading Company to rise would be even shorter. He was also able to quickly finish his cooperation with David.

“Yes, Grandpa Val, David is an opportunity I mentioned earlier.” replied Alba honestly.

Valerio was not surprised by this result. Instead, he expected it.

“Oh? Tell me, how can he fight the Palmore family? Although he was not weak in terms of identity and background. Alba, you should know that the Pamore family is one of the top six powers in the Star Kingdom that has a Sacred Saint. You can even say that they are at the top of the pyramid of Star Kingdom. No one can shake their position.”

"That's because of Master David!" answer alba.

“Who is David's teacher? I just asked him, but he didn't tell me.”

“Grandfather Val, I think Master David must be a Sacred Saint hiding in the darkness of Star Kingdom.” Alba voiced her thoughts.

His words were like a bomb, causing Valerio to feel so dizzy that he could not say anything for a long time. 'Lord David is a Sacred Saint hiding in the darkness of Star Kingdom?

So astounding!'

Even if Valerio was the head of Treasure Trove and Saint Partial, he was still quite surprised by what Alba said. One should know that there are only six Sacred Saints on the surface of Star Kingdom, and they represent the top six powers of Star Kingdom. Everything is a giant.

Of course, the Star Kingdom had evolved over the years, so there might be other Sacred Saints hiding in the darkness as well. However, how could they be sure that David's employer was one of them?

A Sacred Saint was the strongest figure in the Star Kingdom for the time being. How do they show themselves? Even though David acted like that was the case, Valerio would still doubt him before he saw him with his own eyes.

Plus, he also noticed something in Alba's sentence. 'He thinks!' So that means he's just assuming and he doesn't have any real evidence.

After Valerio calmed himself down, he asked, "Alba, did David tell you this?"

"No, I'm just assuming. However, I have the right reasons and I'm not making it up myself." Alba shook her head and replied.

"And what is this reason?" Valerio asked.

Alba then told Valerio everything about his encounter with David. He told me about how David met Marlee halfway and brought her here to sell raw nuclear magnet ore. Then, he told him how David said he wanted to participate in the grand auction, how he saw his first-rate Soulbound Weapon, the Evil Splitting Sword, go through, and how David killed two novice Sovereign Rankers next to Cornelius. He did not miss any details.

When Valerio heard about the first-rate Soulbound Weapon, he felt an explosion in his heart.

'How many people in Star Kingdom are capable of using first-rate Soulbound Weapons?'

Although the Fellowes family controlled the Treasure Trove and possessed many assets, they only had two first-rate Soulbound Weapons after taking out everything they had. They were not enough for three True Saints, let alone Pre-Saint. They could only find treasures of such a level by chance.

Valerio never expected David to have it. It's just so awesome!

If David really had a first-rate Soulbound Weapon, then Valerio would believe that he had a Sacred Saint as his teacher.

‘The first-class Soulbound weapon should be on the wooden sheath on his back. Then what was in the small urn in his hand?

Since he was always seen with those items, I think the item is not simple either.’

Now, David who killed the two novice Sovereign Rankers next to Cornelius seemed to be nothing compared to him who possessed a first-rate Soulbound Weapon.

However, what Cornelius did left Valerio puzzled. It would not benefit the Lightfoot family if the Fellowes family collapsed.
