Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!

Chapter 226 Merciless Valkyrie

Officers, First Officers, and outer disciples practically celebrated together when the Healers declared an end to the crisis in City Five.The patients most seriously affected by the fungus could not recover and would die in the next few days—a prediction of the Healers in the area. But 95% of City Five was safe, and the mood was optimistic after the lockdown was declared over.

Liam and his group didn't celebrate with the inhabitants of City Five. They left after daybreak, heading back to the inner wing in

Very well, I'll give you a recommendation for Elder Neill and I'll give your team three keys to the Treasures Hall. You'll have 10 days to make use of your rights and claim your prizes."

Three keys materialized in front of the woman, then floated into Liam's hands.

While Liam couldn't quite grasp the significance of his prizes, the two First Officers behind him were holding their lips as tightly as they could so as not to burst out screaming with satisfaction.

This award was simply great even for them, strong Spirit Sky cultivators!

"Thank you, Elder Cecily."

Liam thanked her as he put those keys away.

Cecily nodded to him as she stood up, appearing in an instant at Liam's side. But unlike Neill, she didn't dare evaluate Liam.

It would not be appropriate to assess the disciple of another Elder.

"I'll keep Necrotic Parsnip's body, but your group will receive its price in merit points. You'll be able to divide these points as you see fit among your team members, Division Chief Porter." She explained before once again congratulating him, this time in the form of advice. "Keep working hard in your profession. You'll be a great Fourth Class Runemaster of the sect. I'll see what I can do to help you get there faster.

Anyway, you'll hear from me soon, young man." She patted one of his shoulders lightly, making Liam feel strange.

On the one hand, he couldn't help but watch her intently, seeing how beautiful and full of grace Cecily was. But on the other hand, he felt a maternal energy coming from her and almost felt bad for certain thoughts he had in those moments next to her.

"Isa, make sure he's informed as soon as I make my move." She told the Commander looking at Liam with interest.

"Of course, mistress." Isa replied with a nod, continuing to stare at Liam.

"That's all for today. Go ahead. I'll be waiting for the next news from your group."

With the Elder's permission, the group greeted her once more before leaving that office alongside Commander Isa.

As they passed Cecily's office exit door, Isa walked up beside Liam and said, "Although you're weak, I recognize your skills as a Runemaster. If my master praised you, you must be really formidable."

Liam looked at her without knowing what to say. Was she teasing him or complimenting him?

Isa smiled and asked, "Do you want to train with me? I'd like to see what you can do in combat."

Toby heard that, but didn't interfere. He knew who Commander Isa was and of her peculiar reputation as a hunter of adversaries. Rumor had it that she had once said that she would marry the man who defeated her in combat. He didn't know if this was true, but stories of her battles against other disciples ran through the inner circles of the sect.

A peculiar characteristic of hers was that she never killed her opponents. Even when they offended her and threatened her, she just beat them, humiliating them and breaking their confidence in themselves.

Such fame had earned her the nickname of the Merciless Valkyrie.

A relationship with her would never be suitable for anyone, regardless of their position within the sect!

"Training? I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want..."

"Just to train. The fight ends when one of us calls a pause or loses consciousness. That would, of course, involve rules to avoid serious wounds," she said as she looked him in the eye.

"Just a practice run, then?"

"Yes, that's it. I'm looking forward to working alongside Division Chief Porter. I know you're not strong, but I'd love to learn how to fight a Runemaster," she said, once again stabbing Liam with her words.

Liam smiled bitterly when he heard that. "It's okay for us to train, if you do something for me."

"Oh?"
