Mountain Sitting Immortal-Chapter 374: Touching Fetish.

From what they could tell, Arthur has grown bigger and taller. His eyes and hair are also no longer red. His hair is green and his eyes are blue, so it isn’t exactly their fault that they didn’t recognize him.

One of them took out the dossier from their space pouch and checked it to confirm Arthur’s identity. They found a young man who looked like him and who entered the Blood Skull sect five years ago.

Now that they recognized Arthur, they were further surprised by his identity.

Someone couldn’t help but ask the lady in disbelief, "Are you sure that man is Arthur? They look different and have too massive a gap in their power."

The lady glared at him in displeasure, so he hurriedly explained so that she wouldn’t take offense. "If you’re right, he is Augustus’ son and should have entered the Blood Skull sect for five years. Maybe it is just me, but I think it is absurd that he can gain that kind of power in five years and reach the top 1,000 of the outer sect of the Blood Skull sect in such a short amount of time."

He explained carefully because even though they are both at the peak of the second mortal coil, they are not of the same age or generation.

She is one generation older than him, which makes her his aunt. So he should be respectful to her.

Of course, this situation will change if he reaches the third mortal coil while she remains at the second mortal. It is highly likely to happen because he is younger than her.

His young age increases his chances of surviving the breakthrough to the third mortal coil, so he has more potential for growth than her. But in the meantime, especially in the company of the whole family, he should show respect to her.

The lady replied, "I don’t know what he ate to grow that strong, but I do know that he is Arthur and he is Augustus’ son. Besides, he was talented before he entered the Blood Skull sect."

"He could fight people in the second mortal coil when he was still at the first mortal coil. So it is not far-fetched that he can fight the peak of the second mortal coil in five years."

She was understating Arthur’s situation severely by stating that it wasn’t far-fetched for him to achieve what he achieved in five years. It was such an exaggeration that no one believed her.

No one believed her because five years is the average amount of time needed to have one transformation at the second mortal.

This is just the average amount of time. Depending on various factors, the time it could take to advance by one transformation could be up to ten years.

So on average, it takes someone at the second mortal coil 50 years to gain the power of the peak of the second mortal coil. Arthur managed this in 5 years, which is a ten times difference.

What’s more, 17 people at the peak of the second mortal coil couldn’t hold back one disciple of the Blood Skull sect, but one Arthur could. To say that his achievements are not "far-fetched" is a gross underestimation that even the speaker was too ashamed of saying.

After all, if his achievements are not far-fetched, why haven’t they achieved it themselves? Are they so useless that they can’t achieve something so ordinary? If so, then they should be ashamed of themselves.

She was ashamed of herself for saying that, and no one believed her anyway. They were staring at her as if she had gone crazy.

She had to cough to ease the awkward atmosphere and even changed the subject. "Anyway, I think the elder gave him the bow before he participated in the regional sect examination to assist him because he was a bastard of the family and hadn’t received any support from the family."

"I heard that he even had to buy the force intent that he used to reach the ten transformations of the first mortal coil. His lack of support was that bad."

"As for the fetish of touching, I don’t know what that is about. You will have to take the risk when you tell Elder Calcetti."

She spoke for a long time and succeeded in saying something that distracted their attention. The last thing she said became the most important thing for now.

Someone said quickly, "I am not telling the elder."

The person who spoke was the youngest of all of them. He spoke hurriedly to make his situation clear because he knew that he was the youngest, the one with the highest possibility of being punished by Elder Calcetti for teasing the elder with a message about someone who has a fetish for the elder.

He thought he was being smart by shirking the responsibility quickly, but the other people didn’t appreciate his so-called wisdom.

An older person asked, "If you don’t go, should I go?"

His point being it is the youngest that should take this heavy responsibility. But the younger man wasn’t moved.

He folded his arms across his chest and said with stubbornness, "You and I are not the only ones here. If I don’t go, it is not a must that you must go. There are other people here who can go."

This statement caused him to receive glares from everyone. But he remained stubborn and said, "You guys should determine who will go among you. All I know is that I am not going, and no one can make me."

His meaning was clear to everyone. He was saying, "I can’t beat Elder Calcetti, so I avoid him. But you guys don’t compare to Elder Calcetti, so I can offend you."

No one liked what he said. But he had an irrefutable point. That point is that no one here can compare to Elder Calcetti in terms of prestige or power.
