Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

"You know, I just saved your life again!" Walker said, hands clasped behind his back, adopting the air of a peerless master. "You don't need to thank me, after all, I'm your big brother."

"Where have you been these days? You haven't been working on improving your strength. How can you survive in this apocalypse as a novice Soulmancer?"

"But don't worry, I've got your back from now on. You won't have any trouble!"

...

Walker stood talking for a while, but William didn't even shift his position, quietly staring at the lake surface.

Suddenly, the fish in the lake becrestless, and many flipped belly-up, floating on the surface.

After William had thrown that mutated centipede into the water, the deadly poison from its claws spread, killing many fish and causing others to mutate into bloodthirsty, ferocious creatures.

Hiss—

Roar!

A dozen fierce mutant fish leapt out of the water, one of them, a large fish with sharp fangs and over 10 feet long, lunged directly at William.

William didn't even blink. Walker flicked his wrist, and a throwing knife flew accurately through the big fish, which exploded into a mess of flesh and blood, causing another upheaval among the fish in the lake.

Celestial Blade Art.

This was a technique William had taught Walker. As Walker's strength had increased, so had the power of his throwing knives.

Walker thought William would be impressed and shocked by this display.

After all, showing off is more satisfying when someone is watching, just like getting a pentakill in a gwithout friends to cheer feels less thrilling.

Walker turned to glance at William, intending to say it was nothing special, just a minor trick...

But he found William still staring straight ahead, his hand holding the fishing rod as steady as ever, without a trace of surprise.

Hmm!!

It was like performing a complex magic trick or acrobatics in front of someone who doesn't applaud or show any reaction, or like putting in a lot of effort during sex while the other person absentmindedly plays with their phone, not even making a sound.

How awkward is that!

At least play along a little!

"The technique I just used is called Celestial Blade Art, which I suddenly grasped one day at Ravenwood," Walker couldn't help but boast. "I suspect I'm the reincarnation of sdeity, possessing inherited memories from a past life. Given time, I will master Celestial Blade Art to its ultimate level. Then, anyone who dares to provokecan be slain with a single throw of my knife, no matter where they are."

"Uh-huh, impressive," William nodded slightly, still staring emotionlessly at the lake.

Walker felt like he had been hit with a sledgehammer. William's attitude was even more dismissive than someone who remains silent during sex, as if after everything, the other person just emotionlessly comments, "You were great."

Such perfunctory acknowledgment!

The epitof indifference!

William just wanted to fish in peace, but Walker kept showing off and boasting, which was really...

As Walker wallowed in his frustration, the second stage of the Celestial Blade Art suddenly cto him. This quieted him down, and he lost interest in talking to William, sitting beside him and delving into his newfound understanding.

Ten minutes later, a not-so-smart fish took the bait. William pulled up a big fish that had a smaller fish in its mouth.

What kind of genius move was that?

A double catch?

Regardless, he finally landed the fish. William tossed the big fish into a bucket and then patted Walker on the shoulder.

Walker had been struggling to grasp the second stage of Celestial Blade Art and hadn't fully understood it until William's pat seemed to enlighten him instantly, advancing his Celestial Blade Art to the second stage!

It felt as exhilarating as the final moments of making love.

"I've grasped the second stage of Celestial Blade Art!!" Walker was so excited he almost jumped up.

"Wait!" Walker extended his hand, pointing at his shoulder. "Pat my shoulder again?"

"Huh?" William looked at him, puzzled.

"Just pat it, don't ask," Walker instructed.

William gently patted Walker's shoulder again, but his look was clearly one of indulging a simple-minded child.

"Alright, it seems it has nothing to do with you; it's just because I'm a naturally gifted genius." Walker and William exchanged glances, and Walker said, "You know, your look really is asking for a punch."

William nodded and said, "Indeed, it is a bit."

Walker really didn't know how to describe William anymore. In his view, he and William had skind of connection, especially since William was the first "bro" he recognized after coming out of the mountains.

But William's attitude towards him was somewhat disheartening.

Damn, he was so impressive, and yet he couldn't shock William?

Normally, after witnessing his extraordinary skills, William should have turned into an admirer, becoming his loyal sidekick. But it seemed like William was missing a screw in his head, showing no basic respect for him as an elder brother.

However, it was precisely this that made things interesting for Walker.

A bro with an expressionless face and a screw loose—if he could make him genuinely submit, the sense of achievement would be immense.

It's easy to gather followers, but to fully win over someone like William would be a real accomplishment.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the inner city!" Walker said. "Where have you been these past few days?"

"I was traveling with Alice," William replied.

Walker frowned and said, "It seems you haven't been affected by the mutation. What about Alice? Why isn't she with you?"

"She's still in intensive training."

"Intensive training?" Walker nodded. "It seems she sent you back to New York. No wonder you're fine. But you should start making an effort. With the world changing so much, if you don't have any skills, you won't even be able to protect your own woman."

William grinned. "She can protect me."

Walker turned to look at William with a serious expression. "You're not really planning to live your whole life hiding behind a woman, are you?"

William replied earnestly, "As you can see, I don't have any special talents. Living off a woman seems to be the only path open to me."

Walker couldn't help but take a deep breath at that remark. His bro really had a way with shocking statements.

Living off a woman as the only path.

Was this a testament to his confidence in his handsface and strong body?

Or was it a declaration of his confidence in his lovemaking skills?

As for being handsome...

Walker took another serious look at William...

Damn it!

Why did it feel like this guy was just a bit more handsthan himself?

As for lovemaking skills, naturally, Walker had no idea.

"I remember, the president of the Emerald Lion Guild, Garen, seemed quite fond of you. You don't really have that kind of special relationship with him, do you?" Walker's gaze at William beca bit strange.

He had also heard quite a few rumors about William before, and those rumors were bizarre. Ssaid that William not only won the favor of Alice and Evelyn but even had an improper relationship with Garen, the president of the Emerald Lion Guild...
