Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cultivation with a System in the Modern World: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

The trio made their way through the desolate industrial district, their steps echoing faintly against the cracked asphalt and rusted pipes that sprawled across the ground. The Lapanzo Foundry loomed in the distance—a massive husk of steel and concrete, its faded name barely visible on the old factory’s rust-eaten board. Broken windows and gaping holes in the walls stared back at them like the hollow eyes of a corpse, and the air was heavy with a metallic tang mixed with an unexplainable decay that clung to their senses.There were no birds, no stray dogs, not even insects. The silence was unnatural, almost suffocating. Each breath they took felt too loud as if the factory itself might hear them.Pavan looked around, his face pale and his voice just above a whisper. "Yeah, this is the place where I’m going to die."Danial shot him a sideways glare. "No one is going to die." His voice was steady, but his jaw was clenched.Ahead, the board with “Lapanzo” scrawled in faded letters jutted

Danial’s mind raced as the hooded figure’s words echoed in his ears. “Fine meal? What does that mean?” A chill ran down his spine. There was no time to dwell on fear. His gaze shifted to Kuro, slumped and barely conscious, and a surge of determination coursed through him. No matter what, I’m getting us out of here.He glanced at Crystal and made a subtle hand gesture, signaling her to prepare. She caught his movement, her eyes widening in surprise, but she quickly composed herself. Taking a deep breath, she began circulating her internal energy, her frosty aura intensifying as she prepared for whatever was to come.Danial turned back to the hooded man, mustering every ounce of courage he had. His voice trembled slightly, but he managed to ask, “W-what do you mean? And who are you?”The hooded figure tilted his head, his hidden gaze boring into Danial. “You are not qualified to know,” he said, his voice low and dismissive. Without further ado, he raised his hand, which began to glow a

Danial gritted his teeth, clutching his arm as the Blood Curse spread slowly but surely. The black veins snaked across his skin, pulsing with an ominous glow. Each second felt like a countdown, and Danial knew that if he didn’t act soon, the curse would consume him entirely. Yet, his focus was momentarily broken as Marvin stood between him and the hooded figure, calm and commanding.Marvin’s voice carried a steady authority, never turning to look at Danial. “Danial, return to the academy immediately. Find Gloria and show her your arm. She’ll know how to help.”Danial stumbled to his feet, his body trembling from the relentless pain. “Master,” he managed, his voice strained, “be careful. He’s... powerful.”Marvin smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the hooded figure. “Not in front of me, he’s not.”The hooded man let out a guttural laugh, the sound echoing ominously in the ruined area. His crimson aura flared, pulsating with malevolent energy. “You think strength at the Master Level mean

While Pavna and Crystal were confused by the sudden turn of events, the battlefield quaked as Marvin’s power reached its peak at the Lapanzo Foundry, the air charged with an oppressive, electrifying energy. Lightning crackled around him, arcing off his body in jagged streaks that seared the ground. His previously calm demeanor was replaced by a fiery intensity that left no room for doubt—this was the full might of Master Marvin unleashed.Marvin’s body surged with power as the Nine Star Acupuncture Technique reached its climax. Sparks of lightning crackled along his arms, illuminating the battlefield with a brilliant glow. But then, to Danial’s astonishment, Marvin pressed another point on his chest, and the energy around him seemed to stabilize, halting its rise just before reaching its peak of the Third Stage Martial Arts Master.Danial noticed this and thought in shock, He stopped the Nine Star Acupuncture Technique at the end. That means he's holding back even his full strength.Th

Luna was absolutely furious, her body trembling with restrained rage. Her voice, sharp and resolute, cut through the air, “How dare Santiago touch Kuro! Doesn’t he know the family laws? How dare he defy everything the Hale name stands for!”Her secretary instinctively took a step back. In all the years she had served Luna, she had never seen her in such a state. Luna’s usual icy composure was now replaced with an intensity that was almost suffocating.At that moment, Doctor Hammer entered the room, bowing slightly before speaking in a calm and measured tone. “Miss Luna, I have arrived.”Luna turned her piercing gaze on him, her voice steady but commanding, “Check on him. I want to know everything—every injury, every detail.”Hammer nodded and approached Kuro. For a moment, he felt a strange sense of familiarity while looking at Kuro’s battered face. But this wasn’t the time to dwell on such thoughts. Without hesitation, he set to work, his assistant trailing behind him with a bag full
