Alexandra didn’t answer or nod. She hugged Victor, resting her face against his chest.

That was her way of saying yes.

She didn’t say yes, but she wanted to help.

Victor smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her hair.

Of course, she wouldn’t refuse in the end because she already wanted him more than others.

Even though he had just woken up, Victor fell asleep again.

This was real sleep, whereas before, it had merely been his body’s way of calming his emotions.

When he woke up in the morning, Alexandra was still in his arms.

Of course, she was already awake.

Victor gave her a smile, then with a single movement, he brought their bodies together.

Alexandra’s cheeks instantly turned red.

She spontaneously sat on Victor’s thighs, and when she looked down, she could see his cock sinking into her love hole.

Not moving made it feel incredibly ticklish.

She couldn’t help but move her hips, and Victor pushed his hips upward.

"Ahhhh..." The woman immediately moaned with pleasure.

Victor’s hands then groped her breasts.

He felt incredibly comfortable lying there.

For over an hour, Alexandra’s moans echoed nonstop.

It was already quite late in the afternoon when Victor finally left the pavilion alone.

Not to mention the other students—even Lily, who guarded the entrance, stared at him in disbelief.

No one knew that Victor had been staying inside that pavilion all this time.

They had assumed he returned to his clan.

Naturally, the next assumption people made was that Victor had been in secluded cultivation inside the pavilion. After all, he hadn’t appeared for so long, so the only logical explanation was that he had been cultivating nonstop.

Victor ignored everyone’s gazes and simply continued walking.

The first acquaintances he encountered were Alisa and several members of the Russell Clan.

They were all shocked upon seeing him, and Victor noticed a strange expression on Alisa’s face.

For some reason, she suddenly looked awkward and embarrassed.

Victor frowned, a bad premonition rising within him.

After Layla... could it be that Alisa had also been slept with by the Sea Spirit King?

Victor’s expression darkened.

He had already been in no mood to meet the younger members of the clan, and after this, his mood became even worse.

He left without saying anything.

The person he was searching for was Evan.

Naturally, the man came quickly after hearing that Victor had appeared.

"Young Master..." he greeted respectfully.

"Let’s go outside," Victor said briefly before continuing his steps.

They headed into the city, and Victor chose a luxurious restaurant that was nearly empty due to its absurd prices.

And there, he saw Layla eating alone beside a window.

She froze when she saw Victor, and her expression quickly turned awkward.

Her eyes revealed embarrassment.

The last time they met, they had slept together.

To Layla, it still felt like yesterday because afterward, she had secluded herself and cultivated in an attempt to calm her mind.

Even now, she still couldn’t believe she had actually done that.

To think she had allowed Victor to sleep with her just like that.

She had never done such a thing before, yet when Victor suddenly hugged and kissed her, she surrendered without resistance.

It would have been one thing if they had originally been close, but in reality, they could practically be considered enemies.

What surprised Layla was that Victor only glanced at her briefly before looking away completely.

He sat at another table and skimmed through the menu for a moment before instructing the waiter to bring him the restaurant’s best dishes.

He gestured for Evan to sit across from him.

Evan looked curious about what Victor wanted to discuss.

"I want to capture Alex," Victor said.

Evan froze, his lips slightly parted after hearing those words.

He held his chin thoughtfully.

"Alex has always been blessed with extraordinary fortune. Before you arrived at the academy, he already shocked countless people. Of course, to older cultivators, he’s still just a weak little boy, but capturing him... we don’t even need to discuss the possibility of the Academy Head helping him. He probably possesses trump cards capable of escaping even powerful cultivators," Evan shared his opinion.

"I know. My plan is to lure him somewhere where he’ll become completely helpless once he enters—unable to escape and unable to be rescued because no one would know. My question is: what kind of place could accomplish that? Most importantly, Alex must not suspect anything," Victor replied.

Hearing that, Evan sank into thought.

"Heaven Prison Formation... perhaps we can rely on that. It can be installed within a house, turning the place into a Heaven Prison. It’s a trap that won’t arouse suspicion," he said after a while.

Victor, who lacked knowledge in such matters, was hearing about this formation for the first time.

"Where can we get it?" he asked.

The word Heaven alone told him this was an extremely rare item.

Its price would not only be enormous, but obtaining it would likely be extremely difficult as well.

"Someone can create it—Master Five Elements. But we’ll probably have to pay an outrageous price."

"If someone can create it, then the price doesn’t matter. So who is Master Five Elements?"

"The ruler of Five Elements City in the Ancient Human Continent. Actually, he’s Lady Jade Sovereign’s younger brother."

Victor was no longer surprised when he heard that woman’s name. Too many things in his life were already connected to her.

After that, they began eating. Even though Victor no longer truly felt hunger, his tongue still desired good food.

He could feel Layla’s gaze on him, but from beginning to end, he never looked at her again, leaving the woman confused.

After finishing the meal—and making Evan pay for everything—the two immediately departed.

Evan brought Victor aboard his small flying vessel, heading toward a certain region of the continent, a direction opposite from the Holy Light Sect.

The vessel couldn’t travel very fast, so the journey was leisurely.

Victor enjoyed the scenery below while drinking the wine Evan provided.

"By the way, there’s something you may need to know," Evan said during the journey.

"What?" Victor asked in confusion.

"Bella Thunder is also in that city. Isn’t she your fiancée? She came to the academy once looking for you, but you weren’t there."

Victor rolled his eyes upon hearing that.

"Why was she looking for me?" he asked again.

"No idea. Maybe she missed you too much," Evan joked, only to receive a sharp glare from Victor in return.

"Anyway, I heard she went to Five Elements City to retrieve her father’s legacy, which was buried there long before Five Elements City was even established."

Victor showed no reaction after hearing that.

In truth, his thoughts had already returned to the Heaven Prison Formation.

Would he really return with such a thing?

He didn’t reply and simply continued looking at the scenery.

Even by evening, they still hadn’t arrived.

Perhaps Victor could have traveled faster alone, but sitting comfortably was obviously more pleasant.

When dusk arrived and the sun was nearly setting, Victor finally saw a breathtaking city.

Interestingly, instead of walls, the city was surrounded by five rivers. Each river flowed with a different element—fire, water, wind, lightning, and earth.

Naturally, they all looked fluid like water, though only one was truly a river of water element.

Dozens of bridges crossed those rivers.

However, despite that, people could still enter through the air.

In terms of size, the city appeared no smaller than Academy City.

It was merely less crowded, though it was still filled with magnificent buildings.

Victor saw many nobles arriving and departing aboard grand flying vessels.

Compared to them, Evan’s vessel didn’t merely look pitiful—it looked completely out of place there.

Even so, Evan did not seem to care in the slightest.

He was clearly already used to looking pitiful.

But suddenly, both Evan and Victor could not help but feel stunned.

A massive sphere shot out from within the city. At first it looked small, but in an instant it expanded, becoming even larger than Evan’s flying vessel.

It moved as fast as lightning, and its target was clearly the vessel.

Who attacked them?

Victor was confused.

Still, this attack was not beyond his level.

He merely watched as golden lightning fused with black lightning and struck the iron sphere.

BANG!

The sphere instantly shattered into countless fragments, shocking even Evan himself.

He clearly had not expected Victor’s casual attack to be so powerful.

At first, Evan had believed he was still stronger than Victor due to being older. After all, he was also a top-tier genius, determined to surpass every other genius in the end.

Unfortunately, it seemed he had already been surpassed.

Victor stared sharply toward the direction from which the iron sphere had come.

He discovered that it had been launched by a young man with black hair wearing a gray robe that looked shabby in color, though it was actually brand new.

The man was surrounded by floating pieces of metal in various shapes.

Iron spheres were the most numerous among them.
