The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 28

Anita pondered for a moment before asking, “Fabian, how long does it take for us to reach Lawrence Fort from Greenfield?”

Fabian answered, “It’ll take us about two hours by horse.”

“Alright,” Anita nodded, “Well, I only have a question.

What must I achieve to enter the gateway of immortality?”

Fabian was shocked when he heard Anita’s words.

Then, he glanced at their surroundings to make sure that no one could eavesdrop on them before whispering, “I only found out about this from others, and I didn’t even tell Lucas.

So, you mustn‘t tell anyone about this.”

“Sure,” Anita nodded, “I promise you.”

After licking his lips, Fabian whispered again, “As far as I know, Lady Jessica’s Pure Jade Physique caught the Dark Moon Sect’s attention, and they’ve agreed to let her in.

Besides this, the Dark Moon Sect is giving out another place, but…”

After a pause, Fabian continued, “The place is reserved for the whole Greenfield.”

“So besides Jessica, they’re only reserving a spot for the whole Greenfield?” Anita frowned.

“If that’s the case, we’ll have to fight for it?”

Fabian answered, “You’re right.

However, not everyone can fight for the chance to enter the gateway to immortality.

Not only the influential families in Greenfield won’t agree to it, but the Dark Moon Sect too.

Hence, the few influential families in town will send their sons of the appropriate age to grab the spot when that time comes.

As for the Lawrence family, the selection for the candidates should start next month.

However, the details are uncertain for now.”

Anita nodded.

“I see.

Fabian, is this news reliable?”

”Of course it is.

That night, when the Madam‘s servant and I were… Well, she personally told me about it.”

Noticing that his tongue almost slipped, Fabian hurriedly changed his choice of words.

Although he managed to do so, Fabian’s cheeks instantly reddened.

Anita did not expose him either.

However, since Fabian was so sincere, there was a high probability that those were the steps.

“Fabian, you mentioned sons of appropriate age? What does that mean?” Anita waited until Fabian calmed down before asking him again.

Fabian replied, “The limit is sixteen years old and not even a day older.

Besides, I heard that the disciples for the gateway to immortality should not be older than sixteen.

If they exceed the age, at least for the orthodox ones, they won’t accept them anymore.”

Anita nodded.

I’I see.

Thank you, Fabian.”

Anita was 16 years old this year, which meant that he would not have the chance to enter the gateway to immortality anymore.

Therefore, this was also Anita’s final and only chance.

Anita could not help but wonder.

“As a Lawrence family‘s son-in-law, I’m also considerably a member of the Lawrence family, right? Nonetheless, that won’t be enough.

I must increase my importance so that I’m worthy of fighting for the spot.”

Both of them were deep in their thoughts, and they did not say anything anymore along the journey there.

Then, after two hours, Anita saw a fort appearing before his eyes.

Despite knowing that the Lawrence Fort would be massive, as Anita knew earlier on that most of the Lawrences were staying in this Lawrence Fort, and there were about 3000 of them here… When he saw it himself, Anita finally realized that the Lawrence Fort was much bigger than he imagined, and it was almost catching up to certain cities in Salleria.

Anita was amazed.

Efrax’s style was incomparable to Salleria.

This time, Fabian brought along James’s handwritten letter, so no one stopped them on their way here.

However, the smooth journey was the only benefit.

After all, Anita was not an official son-in-law yet, and besides George, no one in the Lawrence family respected him.

Fabian was familiar with Lawrence Fort, and he led Anita to a three-story building in the middle of the fort.

After reading James‘s handwritten letter, the elder that was in charge of guarding the martial art chamber’s entrance spoke to Anita indifferently, “The first floor of the martial art chamber is where the martial arts books are kept, the second floor is the weaponry.

No one’s allowed to enter the third floor without Chief James’s approval.

Today, you’re only allowed to enter the first and second floors.

You can choose a high-rank Mortal Grade’s martial skill and a low-rank weapon.

You only have two hours, and if you exceed the time limit, you’ll be punished.”

Anita cupped his hands together.

“Thank you for letting me know.

”

Then, he pondered for a while and asked, “Excuse me.

Can Fabian join me in the martial art chamber to help me choose a martial skill?”

Anita’s polite attitude let the elder have a better impression of him.

Hence, after giving it a thought, he agreed to Anita’s request, “Sure.

However, you’re not allowed to make loud noises in the martial art chamber.

Fabian, I’m sure you’re aware of this, right?”

“Yes, Master.” Fabian also hurriedly cupped his hands.

When they walked into the martial art chamber, Anita noticed that there was no one around, and he whispered, “Fabian, what did the elder mean by high-rank Mortal Grade’s martial skill just now?”

Fabian was shocked when he heard that.

“You don’t know about it? You‘re a warrior yourself.

Don’t you know that martial arts have four grades, Mortal Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, and Profound Grade?”

“I’m not aware of that,” Anita admitted.

Salleria was a small and remote country.

Moreover, no one told him about these when he was younger.

If it were not for his warrior identity, he would be just a commoner.

Fabian broke out in cold sweats, and he said, “You’re about to choose a skill soon, so let me brief you about it.

There are four grades of martial arts.

The ascending grades are Mortal Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, to Profound Grade.

Each grade has three rankings, high-rank, middle-rank, and low-rank.”

“Chief James asked me to choose a martial skill that’s not above the high-rank Mortal Grade,” Anita pondered for a while and asked, “Fabian, what rank is Harold’s Iron Fists?

“Iron Fists is a middle-rank Mortal Grade skill.

It’s considered as one of the Yates family’s ancestral martial skills, and its level is slightly higher than basic martial skills,” Fabian explained.

When Anita heard that, he was already making a comparison.

Although his fight with Harold was a short one, Anita could tell that Harold’s skill was much inferior to his The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon.

As for what rank The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon was, the booklet did not mention it, so Sonya was not aware of it either. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nevertheless, Anita felt grateful that he mindfully changed The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon’s claws to a slap at the last minute.

Otherwise, James would surely realize that The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon was a high- ranking skill.

Moreover, if they asked Anita to hand it over, he would not be able to refuse with his current strength.

‘It seems that regardless if it’s for the competition to get the spot or for self-defense, I should improve myself.’ Anita thought.

While he was thinking about this, Anita entered the first floor of the tnartial art chamber.

What appeared in front of him were wooden grids that could only allow one person to enter.

He glanced around and noticed that there were hundreds of these wooden grids.
