Chapter 28
Anita pondered for a moment before asking, “Fabian, how long does it take for us to reach Lawrence
Fort from Greenfield?”
Anita
Caspian
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?”
Anita
Caspian
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.”
Anita
Caspian
“Sure,” Anita nodded, “I promise you.”
Anita
Caspian
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?”
Anita
Caspian
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?”
Anita
Caspian
”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.
Anita
Caspian
“Fabian, you mentioned sons of appropriate age? What does that mean?” Anita waited until Fabian
calmed down before asking him again.
Anita
Caspian
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
Caspian
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
Caspian
Anita
Caspian
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.”
Anita
Caspian
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.
Anita
Caspian
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

Anita was amazed. Efrax’s style was incomparable to Salleria.
Anita
Caspian
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.
Anita
Caspian
Fabian was familiar with Lawrence Fort, and he led Anita to a three-story building in the middle of the
fort.
Anita

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
Caspian
Anita cupped his hands together. “Thank you for letting me know. ”
Anita
Caspian
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?”
Anita
Caspian
Anita
Caspian
“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?”
Anita
Caspian
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.
Anita
Caspian
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?
Anita
Caspian
“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.

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