At the king's invitation, Watson and the others followed him into the main hall. At that moment, the main hall was already filled with nobles of all colors.

After Watson entered the palace, those nobles all cast their gazes at him, their eyes flashing with all kinds of lights. Among those nobles, Watson saw a few familiar faces, such as Lana, who was standing in the Ptolemy family's seat, waving at him. Next to him was Casey, who was leaning on his walking stick. His expression was filled with complicated emotions.

The Campbell and the Saint Laurent families, the other two archdukes in the kingdom, were beside the Ptolemy family. There were not many people from those two families. At the very front of the Campbell family stood a young man with pierced ears. His fiery red hair was tied into a ponytail, and he looked rather unruly. In his hand, he was gently shaking a wine cup.

The Saint Laurent family was led by an expressionless girl who was the same age as Watson. Her purple hair fell on both sides of her ears, and her hair was woven into the shape of a drill. She was staring at the ground. She seemed to be uninterested in Watson and the surrounding environment.

When he saw the two teenagers, the flow of magic elements in Watson's body slightly increased. He could sense that the two teenagers were not weak. They were at least at the peak of the gold tier, and they seemed to have quite a high position in the two families.

Besides the three archdukes' families, there was also an old man with white hair. He had a kind expression and a wise gaze. He attracted Watson's attention. More than ten people dressed like civil servants stood behind him. Other than that, there were also people from the Sword Saint's family—they had sent three young men who were tall, short, fat, and thin, respectively. The only thing they had in common was that they were powerful.

The three of them all emitted a biting, cold sword aura. What made Watson feel regretful was that he did not see Christina. He did not know if Christina had arrived in the capital.

As Watson pondered that, he discovered that the king had walked to the hall and sat on the throne inlaid with gemstones. A maid pulled a curtain made of pearls—it covered the king's face, and only his dignified voice could be heard.

“I am very happy today. Antonio, the astrologer, who has left the capital for several months, has returned today and brought back a young man with outstanding talent! That young man has done many glorious things, such as creating a divine mountain at the border and becoming the second person in history to clear the maze. He even turned the maze into the Tower of Babel. Now, that tower is exceptionally popular, and many famous adventurers in the kingdom have gone there because of its fame. If not for my official duties, I would have gone there to take a look! In addition to that, the young man had also arrived at the floating city a few days ago. He solved the problem with the sea tribe and also eliminated the Severed Fingers Gang.”

King Landhar III spoke a lot behind the curtain of pearls. After he had the ministers' and nobles' attention, he stopped talking. “I'm really glad that the kingdom has such a talented young man.”

“As expected of Master Antonio's disciple. It's not strange for him to have such a remarkable feat. ”

“I heard that that youth came from the border. It has been decades since there was a talent export from the border. Finally, he must be a genius.”

The noblemen followed King Landhar III's words and praised Watson. Most of their words came from their hearts. After all, the famous generals might not be able to do what Watson had done.

Even Campbell, the red-haired youth from the Saint Laurent family, and the cold-faced girl could not help but raise their heads when they heard Watson's achievements. They showed a curious expression on their faces.

Watson, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to the praise around him. In the eyes of others, His Majesty might be praising him, but he could hear that the words of that supreme king of the kingdom had a hint of.., “I know very well what you have done. Be more honest with me. ”

“Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. However, it was not only me who had accomplished those great feats. I could not have done it without the guidance of my master and the help of my family and friends,” Watson responded humbly.

“Watson, you don't have to be so humble. To those with the ability, being overly humble is a sign of pride! As Antonio's disciple, not only do I know very well about your achievements, I am also very curious about your strength. I wonder about your current strength?”

“Your Majesty, I am at the platinum tier.” After hesitating for a moment, Watson decided not to reveal his true strength. He had invited him there as soon as he arrived and even asked about his strength. The king must not have had any good intentions.

What was platinum-tier?

“Are you for real?”

That youth was not lying, right?

The noblemen instantly became excited, and they continued to discuss it.

“There are no more than ten platinum-tier elites in the entire kingdom. I remember that the current Sword Saint holds the record for the youngest platinum-tier elite in history. He became a platinum-tier elite at the age of 16! That Watson doesn't look to be more than 13 years old, right? If he is a platinum-tier elite, it's equivalent to breaking the current Sword Saint's record!”

No wonder the noblemen were excited. If Watson were really platinum-tier, they would be witnesses to a new history.

Watson was a little helpless toward the reactions of those people. He had wanted to suppress his strength, but he did not expect that his hidden power would still surprise those people. If he told them his true strength, would not those nobles explode?

“Oh? You have platinum-tier strength at such a young age. That really surprises me. However, words have no basis. Can you show it to me?”

“Your Majesty, me and my disciple have just come off a long journey, and we are exhausted. If Your Majesty wants to see his skills, I will let him go to Your Majesty's bedroom and perform for you after he has rested. What do you think?”

Before Watson could speak, Antonio had already stood up and spoke on Watson's behalf.

Watson and Antonio had seen through the king's intentions.

“It's just a casual display of his skills. I'm not asking Watson to fight against a platinum-tier elite for three hundred rounds. A few days ago, it just so happens that General Hoen brought back a peak gold-tier magical beast from the south. Why don't we let Watson fight that magical beast and see how many rounds he can last before he kills that magical beast? I don't even want a precious magical beast; I just want to see Watson's strength. Antonio, you won't say no, right? ”

“Of course not.”

Since King Landhar III had said that, Antonio had no way to refuse him.

“The magical beast that General Hoen brought back from the south some time ago; was it the tainted unicorn?”

“The unicorn was originally a magical beast unique to the Forest of Eternity in the south. Only pure-hearted people could handle it. However, that unicorn was somehow tainted and went berserk. Due to the unique characteristics of the unicorn, no one could restrain the gold-tier unicorn. However, General Hoen had been able to do it. I wonder if the young man can match that.”

The noblemen discussed among themselves as King Landhar III spoke. Then, the guards had brought the unicorn that the king mentioned.

It was a magical beast that was more than five meters long and nearly three meters tall. As a gold-tier magical beast, its size was not considered huge, but the aura that the unicorn gave off was stronger than that of an ordinary gold-tier magical beast. The moonlight-like fur on the back of the unicorn's head appeared to be dancing in the shape of a wave. There was a spiral-shaped silver horn on top of its head that was wrapped with lightning. The unicorn's body looked like a horse was made of light.

The unicorn was a kind of holy beast. Unfortunately, other than the holy aura on its body, there was also a trace of evil. Its silver eyes had a hint of blackness in them. Its pure white hooves were covered in a layer of pitch-black flames, with some blood-red lightning in the middle.

It had a holy and depraved aura, which made the unicorn look very demonic.

[Peak Gold-tier magical beast: Tainted Unicorn[

[Attributes: Light and darkness]

[Abilities: Holy Strike (using the horn as a weapon, the unicorn will launch continuous strikes as fast as lightning), Holy Judgement (thunder that summons judgment to attack the enemy, causing large-scale gold-tier damage), Rapid Self-healing (the unicorn will automatically heal its injuries), Holy Enchantment (all attacks carry holy attributes, increasing the damage dealt to evil creatures).]

[Additional abilities: Contamination (the unicorn's body contains an even more powerful and evil soul), Mandala Poison (the soul can control the unicorn to spit out poison, causing death), Black Soul Flame (the flame that can burn the soul, causing damage comparable to platinum-tier).]

The moment the unicorn appeared, its information appeared in Watson's eyes.

“That unicorn has a soul in its body. It seems that His Majesty did not just want to test me. He did not come with good intentions.”

While Watson was muttering in his heart, King Landhar III's voice sounded in the entire hall.

“That unicorn was originally a holy beast. I wanted to nurture it well. Unfortunately, it was tainted by external forces and became a beast that only knew how to hurt people. Even though I could not bear it, I understood it! I will need you to kill it. Do you need any weapons? If you do not, please feel free to tell me.”

“I don't need any weapons.”

Watson shook his head and walked in front of the unicorn.

When the tainted unicorn saw him, it immediately went berserk. Its body was in heavy chains, but at that moment, it raised its body high and raised its two front legs. It broke the chains and let out a shocking roar.

Roar!

A hurricane accompanied the roar. It blew past Watson and messed up his hair.

Watson was calm, but behind him, many noblemen swallowed their saliva and subconsciously stepped back, nervously looking at the unicorn.

After the unicorn roared, it opened its mouth, revealing fangs that were covered in sticky saliva. It tried to bite Watson's head. The unicorn was very fast, and its teeth were about to land on Watson's head. Some of the noblemen could not help but cry out in surprise. Then, Watson extended a finger toward the top of its head and gently cut it.

Swish!

A dazzling sword light flashed, and the unicorn's two rows of fangs were neatly cut off. The unicorn wailed and retreated as its blood oozed.

“Good swordsmanship!”

Most of the people in the crowd did not understand Watson's swordsmanship. Only the three youths sent by the current Sword Saint understood the battle between Watson and the unicorn. Their eyes lit up when they saw Watson's sword technique.

After releasing his sword technique, Watson did not stop there. He walked toward the unicorn, stretched his second finger outward, and lightly cut the ground where the beast stood. The ground instantly exploded, revealing long and thick cracks. The unicorn's skin and fur condensed by the light were also torn open, and blood that emitted a faint fluorescent light sprayed out.

Watson's swordsmanship was not some platinum-tier battle technique. It was only a sword technique that he had casually used with some help from the Einherjar's body. Even though it was ordinary swordsmanship, it was not weaker than a full-strength attack from a platinum-tier elite.

Roar!

With a painful wail, flashes of lightning suddenly appeared on the body of the tainted unicorn. Its entire body turned into light as it rushed toward Watson. Due to its breakneck speed, there was a burning smell in the air. Many noblemen blinked their eyes. They could no longer see the movements of the unicorn clearly.

The unicorn's signature skill was the Holy Strike. As a magical beast from the Forest of Eternity, the unicorn was holy and fast. It was a peak gold-tier magical beast, yet the speed displayed was not inferior to a platinum-tier elite.

Faced with such an attack, Watson should not have been able to block it easily. Many people had that thought in their minds, but the next scene shocked them.

Before the lightning-fast unicorn could reach Watson, the young man had turned into a bolt of lightning and jumped behind the unicorn's lightning. Two bolts of electricity tangled in the air, revealing the unicorn's true form.

Watson's body was unscathed. On the contrary, the unicorn's horn was broken into two. Then, the unicorn fell weakly to the ground, dying.

Many people did not see what Watson had done, but they understood one thing.

“Watson has won. He only used two moves to defeat the unicorn. That youth is so powerful!”

The noblemen's discussions filled the hall. The fiery-haired youth with the Campbell family no longer shook his wine cup. Instead, he gripped it tightly. His fiery-red eyes, which were the same color as his hair, were burning with fighting spirit. “I can defeat the unicorn in two moves as well. I wonder if Lord Antonio's disciple is stronger than me?”

As he spoke, the scarlet wine in the cup burned into flames and gradually evaporated.

The cold girl in front of the Saint Laurent family also glanced at Watson. Her hair moved even though there was no wind. She raised her hand and pressed them down.

“Your Majesty, I wonder if my display just now will satisfy you?”

Watson walked toward the unicorn and asked King Landhar III behind the pearl curtain.

King Landhar III did not expect Watson to defeat the unicorn so quickly. After a long silence, he said, “Watson, your strength has exceeded my expectations. I'm very satisfied. What kind of reward do you want?”

“Then I won't stand on ceremony. My request is very simple. I hope Your Majesty can give me that unicorn.”

“What does he want with it?”

Everyone was curious about that request; they looked befuddled.

That unicorn had already been beaten until it was on the verge of death, and it was clearly tainted with something. The beast was delirious. Why would Watson want it? Was he not afraid that it would explode and hurt other people?

Watson ignored the crowd; he bowed to King Landhar III and waited for a response.

“Well, I did ask for your request. Since that is what you wanted, then I have no reason to reject it! From now on, that unicorn is yours.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm a little tired right now because I just fought that unicorn. I will not attend the next banquet. I hope that Your Majesty can approve that.”

“Yes, I approve.”

Lowering his head toward King Landhar III again, Watson puffed out his chest and extended his right hand to the unicorn beside him. He cast a spatial teleportation spell and left the palace with the unicorn. Upon arriving at a dark alley in the capital, he cast a layer of magical barrier at the entrance. He extended his right hand toward the unicorn and muttered, “Absolute Healing.”

As the diamond-tier spell was activated, the dying unicorn suddenly stood up and became energetic. Its broken teeth and horn had recovered as well. At the same time, wisps of black liquid flowed out of the unicorn's eyes and nose.

The black liquid was incompatible with the unicorn, but it was unwilling to leave its body as if it had a life of its own. As a result, Watson pulled it out forcefully, and it squirmed in the air. It transformed into a terrifying image with a leopard's head and bird wings.

“Lowly human, I must praise you for detecting my existence. But, I won't need to be polite toward you! Argh!”

The terrifying fog in front of Watson squirmed, and an awe-inspiring voice came from within it. A large lump of black viscous liquid spewed out from within the mist, sprinkling toward Watson's head. It contained the aura of death. Whenever it passed, the air would wither. As the viscous liquid dripped onto the ground, it caused the hard rock ground to vanish into thin air.

However, before the poisonous liquid could land on Watson's body, the young man grabbed the black spirit and held it firmly in his hand. That caused the black spirit's body to become distorted, and it let out a series of miserable cries. “Pain, pain, pain! Little Brat, stop!”

“Tell me, who are you, and why do you possess that unicorn? And what is your relationship with the King?”

“Let me go before you ask these questions! Impudent Brat! Ow! It's too painful! Fine, I'll tell you! My name is Sidi, and I am the Goddess of Shadow and Potion.. I am one of the seven gods worshiped by the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
