Chapter 159: Back


    The girl was tall for her age, which Adam estimated was simr to his brother''s, and was in a good shape. But Adam could feel something more, and that was something only he could feel. The power of Gates.


    The girl had opened the First Gate, and that wasn''t all as even though she did not have any Qi, Adam could still feel her body was stronger than any athlete, she was probably an Intermediate Body Refinement Expert.


    One has to know that even an Early Body Refinement martial artist was slightly stronger than even the top athletes of this world, they would have world record speed, strength and better senses than any other human.


    That is to say, the only way for one to reach this realm was to receive a special training, or open the Third Gate which would automatically push the body to it''s first limits and allow the user to reach the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.


    The girl wasn''t here alone either, as she was apanied by two older people who bore a striking resemnce with her, most probably her parents.


    Both of them weren''t normal either as the father had opened the 2nd Gate and the mother the 1st Gate. In term of strength though, the father felt like he was a Level 45-50 Bronze in the game, meaning he was most probably a Peak Qi Refining expert, while the mother was a step further, and so certainly an early Foundation Establishment martial artist.


    If he had any doubts before, they wiped them away as they could only be martial artists. Moreover, they were likely part of a powerful faction.


    From what Adam knew, the few Legend Rank, or Golden Idols, were all the gods from the legends, and they had attained their power through faith power, so it was safe to assume that humans were only capable of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, and there shouldn''t be much more of them than there are Legends.


    If the Nascent Soul Realm was the absolute peak humans had trained to, then Core Formation experts were certainly the elders of the powers created by the Nascent Soul experts, so this meant even a Foundation Establishment Realm expert had a rtively high position in those powers.


    All of this made Adam wary of this family. He wasn''t scared though, as he was already standing near the top of this world in term of power. He wasn''t there yet, but not very far either. Although he was only an Intermediate Qi Refining cultivator, he had opened the 3rd Gate, making his raw power much higher than his actual cultivation realm.


    Since not many had sessfully opened the 3rd Gate, the ones who didn''t would need to be quite strong in the Core Formation realm to defeat him, this was even more exaggerated than in the game. But there was a reason for this. In the game, the gap in attributes would be shortened by equipments, but there was no such things on Earth, as far as he knew.


    That''s why, unless one was a Gold Rank, or Core Formation realm, or had opened the 3rd Gate, their raw power would be below Adam.


    And that was only talking about raw power. Adam had also opened andpletely mastered the 4th Gate, which was an unparalleled feat on Earth, his sword arts were the best too, and he had even begun to understand a Sovereign Concept.


    For all those reasons, while he was on Earth, the only ones capable of defeating him were probably peak Core Formation cultivators, or even Nascent Souls ones.


    That''s why, even if the other side were to find problem with him, he could manage. And if they were shameless enough to send a Nascent Soul or higher after him Sofia, or Gaya, was still there, and she would most certainly not let her Champion get bullied.


    On the other side, while the girl only had eyes for Matt, her parents were looking at Adam with shock. They owned this hospital, and their daughter was sent here because she had gone a little too far in her training and injured herself.


    It was nothing unusual, many youngsters in their world would push themselves beyond their limits for their training, and here it had even been a good thing since their daughter had opened the First Gate, bing a top genius in the human race overnight.


    So when they heard that their daughter, who turned out to be an S Grade Talent, took fancy of a cripple in their hospital They immediately investigated that cripple.


    So they were shocked when they discovered this cripple was the one who had all his charges paid by Gaya Inc, he had made quite a wave. Or rather, his brother had.


    Having learned this, and that the cripple would be able to stand and live a normal life in the future, their displeasure slowly disappeared. They didn''t believe a cripple could make their daughter happy, but since he would be able to stand in the future, their problem disappeared, and they decided to let their daughter continue talking to the boy.


    After all, if that boy had sessfully seduced their daughter despite being crippled, ignoring physical matters, then they certainly had an affinity.


    More than that, they were also curious about the famous Valiant Heart, they yed the game themselves and were part of a First Tier Guild, so they had heard plenty of him, they were curious about how he would be in real life.


    But now that they met him, they were stupefied. They felt such power emanating from the young man much, much stronger than them. They finally understood what a Sovereign was. If the difference between them in the game wasrge, in the real world it was beyond huge.


    While Adam and the girl''s parents were gauging each other, the girl approached Matt, walking quickly, and finally looked at his family. While she did that, Adam also decided topletely hide his aura, to appear as a normal person. He didn''t want to scare off his brother''s girlfriend.


    But still, as the girl looked at Matt''s family, she was a little surprised too. While Matt was thin and only slightly taller than her, her family members


    The woman, whom she assumed was Matt''s mother, was about as tall as Matt, but she had great forms, and although she was far from fat, she wasn''t thin either.


    But the two others they both towered over her, one young and one older, they looked very imposing, despite their friendly smiles. Even she, who was a martial artist, felt a little dwarfed in front of the two.


    The older man, who should be Matt''s father, was fine, he looked imposing, but that was it. However, for the younger one, Matt''s big brother, whom he would often talk about when they discussed Although he was smiling fondly too she felt something weird.


    She couldn''t feel any impressive powering from him, but for some reason her instincts were telling her not to piss him off.


    The reason for this was because Adam was only able to emte the effects of the 5th Gate a little, but in the end he still hadn''t opened it so wisps of his true aura would warn people with good senses.


    Despite what her instincts were telling her, the girl didn''t lose her countenance and sweetly smiled at them as she said "Hello, I am Flora, I met Matthew in the hospital and we became friends. Nice to finally meet you."


    The three smiled back to her and introduced themselves. Meanwhile, Flora''s parents came too and introduced themselves, but the three then quickly left.


    On the way back home, Matthew was harassed by his family in the car, it was a mix of teasing and inquiries. Although they were pestering him to no end, Matt was happy to finally be back to his family.
