Nine Lotus Academy...

Tony Clark stood outside the Academy gates. All the war jets and the Clark family forces had already left for the home base. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Jean White had already left to look for her sister, Moni White’s condition.

But Tony stood there silently, staring at the elderly figure before him.

"Thank you for your help, Ancestor," Tony cupped his hands and bowed slightly.

Kent Clark observed Tony from head to toe with a serious look.

"Not bad. A Peak Grandmaster Warrior... ready for the World Tree Blessing," Supreme Warrior Kent Clark nodded his head. "Your father, Rion Clark, is always worried about your future. Seems like there is no need for that anymore."

"This junior understands my father’s concern, but I’m not slacking or lazy. In the future, my goal is to become a Supreme Warrior like you," Tony said with a smile.

"What’s so great about becoming a Supreme Warrior? If this is your goal, you better stop cultivating and enjoy the rest of your life with all our family money," Kent Clark said with a smirk.

"Ancestor, what do you mean? Becoming a Supreme Warrior is everyone’s dream. Even with full support and resources, not everyone can reach the Supreme Warrior stage. Are you not satisfied with your results?" Tony asked thoughtfully.

"What is there to satisfy?" Kent Clark replied calmly. "By the time I reached the Supreme Warrior stage, my age was already 150 years. Now I am already 200 years old. I might live another 100 years in old age, without much energy left to enjoy my life further or improve my lifespan."

"All my youth, I spent in closed-door cultivation just to reach this stage, but it definitely wasn’t worth it. That’s why I am suggesting this to you: don’t waste your entire youth chasing the Supreme Warrior stage," Kent Clark said seriously.

"Then what should I aim for? Should I stop cultivating entirely and spend my life on money, women, and gambling? What should I pursue, Ancestor?" Tony asked with a questioning look.

"A path to immortality. A stage where you can live the rest of your life in youth. A stage where you can stand at the pinnacle without worrying about time itself," Kent Clark said while staring toward the distant horizon where the sun was setting slowly.

Tony fell into deep thought after hearing Kent Clark’s words. He now began understanding Kent Clark’s mentality. Because no matter how talented someone was, reaching the Supreme Warrior stage usually required more than a hundred years.

And by that time...

Even if you became powerful, your youth would already be gone.

Suddenly, Tony remembered the 500-year lifespan treasure mentioned by Academy Master Da Vinci.

"If I can bring that treasure, it will definitely help my ancestor live longer," Tony thought for a moment. But soon he dismissed the idea, because Da Vinci clearly said the treasure would only work for him.

Then another thought struck him.

"Wait... the Academy Master also mentioned another world. A cultivation world... a world of magic..."

"If I can reach that place, maybe... maybe I can truly become immortal. Or at least live thousands of years while remaining in my prime youth with freedom and power," Tony thought deeply.

"Seems like you understood what I am saying. It’s okay. Don’t waste your youth entirely on cultivation. That’s my advice to you. I hope you become a great warrior like your father and continue serving the Clark family," Kent Clark said before turning around to leave.

"Thank you for today, Ancestor. I will definitely repay this favor," Tony said hurriedly as he came out of his thoughts.

"There are no favors between family members. When you reach my position, you must also help the juniors of our family. Remember that," Kent Clark replied.

The next second—

He vanished from the spot.

Tony stood there silently for a long time, lost in thoughts about immortality and the mysterious world where people could live eternally in youth.

"With the presence of the Fate System... I can definitely achieve immortality," Tony thought with clenched fists and burning determination.

"System," Tony called out softly.

The familiar interface appeared before his eyes.

(Quest: Kevin Ten -100%, Hank Cooper- 100%, Jane White- 99%)

"What the hell... why is it still 99%?!" Tony frowned deeply. "I already helped the White family girl and even gained her favor."

Tony immediately began thinking seriously.

"Maybe Jean White still isn’t fully satisfied?"

"Let’s go. I’ll fully satisfy her now," Tony muttered as he started walking toward the Healing Tower.

Strangely, on his way to the Healing Tower, Tony encountered Peak Master Natasha near the entrance gate.

She stared at him angrily for a second but didn’t say anything.

After giving him a long look, she simply turned around and left silently.

Tony found it strange. He originally thought she would stop him immediately because she had clearly warned him not to step inside the Healing Tower again while she remained Peak Master.

Just as Tony took another step, he was stopped once more.

This time— it was Emma Rock.

She was wearing a doctor’s uniform while hurriedly moving around to attend patients.

"Don’t think you can escape from me by leaving the academy," Emma said seriously before trying to walk away quickly.

"Wait. I think you are forgetting about your disease. I can treat you. If you ever need help, just ask me," Tony said seriously before continuing on his way.

Emma Rock stopped for a moment and stared at Tony’s back with a doubtful expression.

If this had happened in the past, she wouldn’t have believed him even if hundreds of people claimed it.

But now... after hearing endless discussions about Tony Clark and his healing methods, she slowly began doubting whether Tony might truly be capable of curing her condition and allowing her to live a longer life.

Still—

She wasn’t ready to accept help from him yet.

"Where is Tony Clark?! We want that miracle Pleasure Healer!!!" a rich lady continued shouting angrily at the nurses nearby.

Emma Rock immediately walked over to handle the situation while holding her forehead with frustration.

Every single day, wealthy women came demanding Tony Clark’s treatment services, giving her endless headaches.
