Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 21: A Failure

.......

"You broke through to the 100% Tempering Marrow Stage!?" Yan Xue exclaimed, his body trembling from this revelation.

He had still yet to digest Lucifer's most basic cultivation level, let alone the fact that his younger brother had already achieved something that he hadn't—the formation of an Elemental Body!

This revelation left all the Devilduke family members baffled, their reactions mirroring the same as Yan Xue's eye-opening reaction. Even Lady Mu was no exception, nearly dropping her fork at this unbelievable announcement.

However, there was one person who remained utterly unfazed, his facial features not changing by the slightest bit throughout this entire ordeal.

The Leader of the Devilduke Household—the Bane of all Air Nation Experts—the Devil Duke, Lord Xiao!

He was not only who had altered the course of the war with the Air Nation but also the one figure heading the ongoing war with the Water Nation. This made his status as more than just a war hero—it made him a goddamn legend!

With a square-shaped face, Lord Xiao fixed his gaze on his sixth oldest son, a mysterious glint flashing past his blood-red eyes. Suddenly, he got up from his seat and walked toward the happy-go-lucky young man, whose demeanor belied the situation.

Lord Xiao's steps echoed like thunder, his aura radiating dominance, but that didn't seem to affect Lucifer in the slightest, his gaze was calm and his mind sharp and calculative.

WAAAA!

In an instant, the towering man's deadly red aura exploded a millionfold, his earth-crushing pressure forcing Lucifer to his knees. Yet, despite the blood gushing out of his shattered kneecaps, the friendly smile on Lucifer's never wavered.

"..."

Devilduke Xiao observed his son's expression, satisfied with this result. Following his satisfaction, he reeled his aura back and called for a healer.

Wzzz...!

However, deep down, Lucifer disdained his father's careless actions.

Why would a powerful man settle down? Why would he gather a bunch of useless women around him who only knew how to bicker among themselves?? Worse, there was always the chance of being betrayed in the future...

'Such stupid decisions... made by one deemed the strongest...'

'This father of mine... He is a failure.'

Lucifer concealed his disappointment to an impossible degree as he exchanged a few words with his brothers and sisters. Most of them were just talking to him because of the attention he received from their unaffectionate father. Though, there were some who were curious and wanted to know about his recent surge in strength.

After all, to suddenly leap from the Early Pulse Condensation Realm to the 100% Tempering Marrow Realm was a grand achievement!

Including exceptional talent, such a feat would also require quite a fortuitous opportunity. It was this notion that caused a few sinister glints to flicker in the gazes of people like Yan Xue and his Third Brother, Yan Chao.

In fact, they had already begun whispering among themselves, plotting a malicious plan against their dear younger brother...

Even Lady Wei and Lady Yu harbored deleterious intentions in mind as they pondered what their dear stepson must have gained to achieve such a dramatic breakthrough...

Lucifer could read the room very well, and his sharp intuition allowed him to gauge the true feelings of everyone present.

Most were neutral and preferred not to get involved, while some cared little about their blood relations. These people were worse than snakes in human clothing and would likely stab you in the back while smiling all the way.

The 6th Young Master had a few surprises in store for those who wished to get in his way, but for now, he played his part to a T.

If there was a reward for the best asskisser, then it would surely go to him!
