Chapter 32: A Fate To Fight Against

"Mary!"

Harvey and Alisa shouted at the same time, glaring at their daughter, which made her a little embarrassed.

She also understood that she shouldn’t act like this in front of her brother’s best friend.

But there was a strange jealousy burning in her heart.

[Ding! You made a human jealous of you and received 5EP]

’Wow! Five EP?’

Levi was stunned when he received this notification.

After the previous notification about the hate, he made a specific modification to the notifications.

If there were the same notifications or notifications about 1 EP, the system didn’t need to remind him.

But if it was a new notification or 5EP, the system should immediately notify him once.

He made these conditions so that even if he did receive multiple five EP notifications, only one notification would ring.

Even if it surpassed that, only one notification would ring. But that notification was necessary for him to understand other people.

For example, Mike’s sister.

He didn’t understand what made her so jealous of him.

It couldn’t be talent, considering her talent was amazing. It also couldn’t be strength or background.

Then, his eyes showed a trace of confusion as he glanced at Mike.

’She is not a bro-con, is she? Ugh! I thought those were just the imagination of lewd people. Don’t tell me this is for real!’

He quickly shook his head.

’No, no, Mike has already shown his admiration for girls. Hoo! Thankfully, this is not about that.’

’Damn! My mind is entering the gutter.’

He cursed himself and the system before logically thinking about the reason behind her jealousy.

"Do you want to fight me?"

She stepped forward and announced her challenge without any hesitation.

"Mary, what are you doing?"

Harvey couldn’t help but feel speechless at his daughter’s attitude. Did he really spoil her so much?

Should he take off his slippers? No, she was a Martial Apprentice with Silver Bones. He needed his belt.

"Dad, I just want to see the gap between Perfection and Major Mastery."

The blazing jealousy was fully displayed in her eyes.

But was that really her purpose?

Levi couldn’t help but ask.

"Are you jealous of me because of Mike’s progress?"

He didn’t think this was the case.

But when he said that, shock crossed her face, followed by fury.

"I am not jealous of him."

"Alright! Enough is enough. Levi didn’t come here for a fight."

Mike pulled his sister and placed her on the sofa.

Despite all of her anger, Mary didn’t do anything against him. Otherwise, Mike wouldn’t be able to pull her.

Seeing this, Harvey looked a bit confused, while Alisa understood the situation and chuckled.

She never thought Mary would be so jealous of Levi.

It was understandable. She had tried to help Mike with his training every day, but he had never accepted her help.

But just because Levi made huge progress, Mike suddenly became motivated. So, it was normal for her to be jealous.

Levi also understood this.

In fact, he understood Mary’s mindset even more than Alisa, especially since he had done some research on Martial God.

According to the news, Martial Goddess Carol has eight husbands.

He found that seven of her husbands were either Martial Saints or Martial Emperors.

But there was one Martial Lord. He was a controversial guy because, unlike other men, he was Carol’s true love.

But his talent was so low that Carol spent enough resources to raise ten Martial Lords into one.

Just because she wanted him to have the lifespan of a thousand years.

With her strength, any children she had would have the potential for Martial God Rank.

But nobody could force her.

The only reason why she married Martial Saints and Martial Emperors instead of a Great Emperor was that she married them when she was just a Great Emperor.

The only person she did marry after becoming the Martial God was her true love.

Nobody, not even another Martial God, could force her to marry someone. That’s the status and the strength of a Martial God.

He was pretty sure Carol was the one who inspired Mary to work so hard.

If she became a Martial God, nobody could stop her from doing what she wanted.

If she wanted her mother to divorce her current husband and bring her back, she could do it.

She didn’t even need to reach Martial God Rank to achieve this, but that was the ambition one should have.

But this was the tragedy of this world.

Harvey couldn’t even feel angry at the fact that his love had married someone else and was forced to do so.

Thinking about it, Levi also understood that he needed to get stronger. He wanted to get stronger faster than others.

Because in this world, the opportunities wouldn’t wait for him.

Love wouldn’t wait for him.

Nothing would wait for him. He had to chase them. The more he learned about his world, the more he accepted his system.

Even if he hadn’t fallen in love with someone, he didn’t want to be another Harvey.

That’s also why he didn’t have any interest in Mary despite her incredible looks.

Maybe it was because Mary looked cold; her pale face, blue eyes, and red hair made her look absolutely stunning.

He understood why Harvey would be worried about her identity.

Except for those pupils, Mary didn’t look like Harvey. On the other hand, Mike inherited his father’s hair but his mother’s pupils.

Harvey wasn’t kidding when he said he had inherited the best of his parents. Despite the fat on his face, he looked handsome.

"I don’t know. Our strength gap is too big. A fight wouldn’t be much of a use."

Levi calmly answered.

Mary’s eyes quickly lit up while Mike’s face fell. Both were training maniacs.

"I can control my strength."

"Then, it wouldn’t be much use either way. With your current blood energy level and silver bones forging, even if you don’t use Martial Arts, you can easily defeat me."

"Even if I use Martial Arts, I am not sure if the boost will be enough to close the gap."

Hearing his words, Mary snapped her fingers and said.

"Don’t worry about it! The biggest advantage of Bone Forging is that you can control the flow of blood, thus controlling the flow of energy."

"This is something only a Martial Master can achieve. However, I can’t control my base strength, so you would need to use Martial arts."

Levi was quite surprised. The advantages of bone forging were becoming more and more amazing.

"Alright! We can talk about fights later. I’ve already prepared food. Let’s eat first!"

Alisa clapped her hands and brought everyone’s attention towards the food.

They soon joined the dinner table, which was full of dozens of different dishes.

While eating, Harvey started the conversation.

"So, I assume you don’t know how to acquire a Titanium Bone Forging Technique."

Levi nodded.

Mary pouted but didn’t stop her dad. After all, Levi had done something that no one in their family had managed to do.

"You see, humanity might have its flaws, but there will always be a few respectful and heroic people."

"Martial God Oliver was one of them. Do you know his history? I am not sure if you can find this information on the internet."

Harvey asked.

"No, most of the information is obscured. There is some information like controversies, that didn’t get pulled down."

Levi answered while shaking his head. He was also surprised that controversies weren’t taken down while other information was.

Harvey nodded.

"Normally, people of their status wouldn’t care about these controversies, but some information is better left out of reach of normal people."

"You see, Oliver neither came from a powerful background nor did he have any excellent talent. He even said he had always been a lucky guy."

"We are not sure how much of this is true, but we do understand one thing. He made many of the opportunities for risk-takers."

"One of them is the Bone Forging Method. According to the rules of his guild, if an Apprentice manages to kill a thousand evolved beasts, they will be granted a Titanium Bone Forging Technique."

"Killing a monster beast is already difficult; killing thousands of them while staying at Apprentice Rank is almost impossible."

"It’s not just about ability but time. Most people simply don’t want to waste a year or two just to complete this."

At this moment, Mary answered.

"It won’t take that long. As long as you reach Golden Bone Forging, you can hunt monsters day and night."

Harvey interrupted.

"Wrong! Even with Golden Bone Forging, it will not be easy. Monsters don’t just have powerful base strength; their blood energy level produces more strength."

"That’s why humans need Martial Arts just to counter them. Why do you think Martial Techniques were developed after Martial Arts?"

"It’s because the boost from a Martial Art wasn’t enough to kill those monsters."
