Under Joshua's impressive prowess, the guests in the hall began to retrea
t involuntarily. It felt as if rocks were
pressing on their chests as their breathing grew heavy.
"Damn! Mr. Hummer is impressive. He's already achieved divinity!"
"He's truly deserving to be Boulderthorn's genius. To achieve divinity be
fore the age of thirty, he's truly a
terrifying man."
"Although a low–level and divine–
level martial artist only differed in a single word, the disparity in str
ength,
just like their name, was like heaven and earth. This kid's strong, but h
e's still a weakling in front of Mr.
Hummer."
The crowd started a frenzied discussion as they witnessed Joshua's imposi
ng presence and arrogance.
At that moment, Tina, who was among the crowd, burst into laughter. "You
fucking bastard! How dare you
cause a scene at Hummer Villa? Look at yourself in the mirror! Give him a
good beating for me, Joshua!"
"I have good taste in men. He's so cool." Jade's lips curled up into a sm
ile, and she looked at Joshua with a
gaze full of affection.
A divine–level martial artist in their twenties was a
desirable catch anywhere. Not to mention, he was Boulderthorn's direct di
sciple. Talent, skills, background–
he had it all. Promising individual like him was few
and far between in the whole of South City.
She was proud and pleased with her choice. Her man would definitely make
a name for himself in the future.
As long as Joshua married her, he would definitely receive the full suppo
rt of the Grant family. As long as the family focused on nurturing him, t
hen there would be a chance for him to be the second Tyler Grant.
Edwin chuckled heartily, "The Hummer family has experienced consecutive s
etbacks, but today is the day to
restore our prestige."
Edwin watched the entire scene happening below from the second floor of t
he villa, a proud smile adorning his
face. How could he not be happy with such a talented son?
"What? The Hummer family has a divine–
level martial artist in their midst?" Istrid paled from the shock. As she
took in Joshua's commanding presence, her legs started trembling involun
tarily.
Divine–
level martial artists were one in a million. It wasn't something that cou
ld be achieved through sheer
effort, and it also required exceptional talent. Some practitioners would
spend their entire lives without attaining divinity. However, once they
did, it would completely transform their lives for the better!
There were more than a hundred martial artists among the Harmon family's
shadow guards, but only one had
achieved divinity. And that was the commander of the shadow guards.
"Isfrid, what should we do now? With a divine–
level martial artist as our opponent, we won't be a match for
him even if all of us joined forces." The shadow guards behind her also h
ad terrified expressions.
Isfrid remained silent, looking at Dustin instead. Even though she wanted
to save Ms. Harmon badly, with the
Hummer's divine–
level martial artist present, it was inevitable for them to retreat.
Chapter 260
Joshua was smugly pleased to see Dustin fall silent. "Hey, kiddo! Are you
afraid now? You must be feeling
terrified! This is the disparity between us. To me, you're
just a mere ant! I'll give you a chance now. If you don't want to die, kn
eel immediately!"
He'd never shown himself since he became a divine–
level martial artist, which explained why not many people
knew about it.
Today was a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself and rise
to prominence!
"So what? If you don't let her go today, I will kill you!" Dustin was sto
ne–faced. It was as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Kill me?" Joshua scoffed. "Kiddo, it seems like you haven't realized the
gravity of the situation. Since you don't seem to value your life, allow
me!"
With that, he waved his hand, and a burst of violent energy ripped toward
Dustin with full force. Dustin didn't dodge it, allowing the burst of en
ergy to crash into him as he stood unmoved.
"Hmm?" Joshua narrowed his eyes, looking slightly surprised.
When a divine–
level martial artist manifested energy externally, even a minor attack wa
s not something a low-
level martial artist could take on. Since his opponent could use his bod
y to hold off the attack, it meant he was. highly skilled.
"I didn't expect you to have such abilities up your sleeves. No wonder yo
u were able to kill Judge. But it's too bad that you have to go up agains
t me! Today, I will let you witness the difference between low–
level marital artists and divine–level martial artists. Watch me!"
Joshua grunted lightly as his body soared into the air like an eagle, aim
ing a slap toward Dustin's forehead.
The wind howled fiercely as his clothes fluttered in response. Under his
terrifying prowess, the crowd retreated once again, afraid of being entan
gled in the conflict.
