Chapter 530 Unexpected Gains, Hope for Breakthroughs
Master of North Kingdom stood quietly aside, holding his breath, clenching his teeth, with a heavy chest and serious expression. As a strong bright energy practitioner, there weren’t many things that could make him so nervous!
At the same time!
Bright energy surged fiercely within Master of North Kingdom’s body, ready to lend a hand to Sean at any moment. Because he had tried many times before and knew how dominant and devouring the chilling aura was. Sean’s bright energy alone might not be enough!
“Oh my God!!!”
However, to Master of North Kingdom’s surprise, after just five seconds, Sean suddenly exclaimed, his face changed dramatically. He immediately retracted the two fingers that were pressed against Amy Colossal’s lower abdomen, stepped back a few steps, as if being electrically shocked. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, his face filled with incredulous shock!
It happened suddenly!
Master of North Kingdom even didn’t have time to help!
“Mr. Great! What…?”
Master of North Kingdom’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling that something was very wrong. He glanced at Amy Colossal in the Fire Jade coffin, and then looked at Sean, quickly asking, “What happened?”
Something’s not right!
When Master of North Kingdom attempted it before, the bright energy entering Amy Colossal’s core would be swallowed by the chilling aura, consuming as much as it entered. But the chilling aura would stay in the core without posing any substantial threat to Master of North Kingdom. The only risk was the continuous consumption of his own bright energy, which could deplete him and destroy his foundation!
But Sean…
Sean’s reaction seemed a little excessive, right???
However!
Sean didn’t answer Master of North Kingdom’s question. He immediately sat cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes, his aura fluctuating violently!
Master of North Kingdom stood beside Sean, only half a meter away, and could clearly feel Sean’s strangeness, which made him increasingly uncertain and suspicious!
Five minutes later!
The fluctuation of Sean’s aura gradually stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes, exhaling deeply with lingering fear!
Wow!
His clothes were soaked in cold sweat!NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Mr. Great!”
Master of North Kingdom eagerly asked, “Are you okay? What happened just now?”
Utterly confused!
Little did Master of North Kingdom know that he had tried it before, but in fact, Albert Sitwell had also tried, and even Lord Steer had personally examined Amy Colossal’s body. However, no one had reacted like Sean!
“Master!”
Sean looked up at Master of North Kingdom and locked eyes with him. With a hint of anger between his brows, he spoke in a cold tone, “I tried to help you sincerely, and you, you wanted to harm me?”
“This…”
Master of North Kingdom was taken aback and hastily said, “Mr. Great, what do you mean? If I wanted to harm you, while you were recovering just now, I could easily have killed you with one palm. How could I let you recover and then blame me?”
Right!
Sean, in such a desperate situation and sitting cross-legged right before Master of North Kingdom, had no room to resist if the latter suddenly attacked. He could only wait for death!
Sean pondered for a moment and asked in doubt, “But you clearly said that when bright energy enters Miss Colossal’s core, it will only be swallowed by the chilling aura. The chilling aura resides in Miss Colossal’s core and does not leak out!”
“You also said!”
“Trying it would have no risk and could be stopped at any time!”
All of these!
Master of North Kingdom said them personally!
“That’s right!”
Master of North Kingdom became more and more confused, not denying what he had said. He suddenly seemed to have realized something and hurriedly asked, “Could it be… the situation you encountered is different from ours?”
“Bullshit!”
Sean stood up abruptly, coldly saying with an angry expression, “Look at me now, does it look like there’s no risk? It’s true that the chilling aura resides in Miss Colossal’s core and doesn’t attack, but it’s not just swallowing without attacking!”
“Just now!”
“My energy entered and was immediately entangled by the chilling aura. Moreover, the chilling aura burst out of Miss Colossal’s core and rushed into my body along with my energy!”
“Fortunately, I reacted quickly and only got a bit of the chilling aura. I decisively stopped!”
“Otherwise!”
“Perhaps Miss Colossal would not have gotten up yet, but I would have fallen down!”
At these words!
Master of North Kingdom was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, “Are you saying, Mr. Great, that your energy can draw out the chilling aura from my daughter’s core and bring it into your own body?”
“Oh?”
Sean raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you really mean that?”
“I do!”
Master of North Kingdom said firmly, “If General Wolf doesn’t trust me, I can go to the capital of North Kingdom now. I can fight Albert Sitwell to the death to show my sincerity!”
“A true gentleman’s word is as good as his bond, and he dies without regrets!”
“I believe in General Wolf’s character. If I die in battle, I only hope that General Wolf will spare my daughter’s life!”
It was evident!
Master of North Kingdom was really desperate, completely risking it all!
“Good!”
After hesitating for a moment, Sean nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, then… deal!”
Saving someone isn’t a transaction!
However!
When saving someone threatened Sean’s own safety, he had to ask for some corresponding compensation. With the full support of Master of North Kingdom, his future actions should be much more convenient!
“However!”
Sean’s words suddenly changed, and he continued, “Saving someone carries great risks. I need to make preparations. Tomorrow is the martial arts assembly for the entire academy. Before that, I cannot make any mistakes!”
“So!”
“It must wait until after the martial arts assembly!”
Just a strand of the chilling aura entered Sean’s body, and it took him a full five minutes to dissolve and refine it. How could it be so simple to draw it all out?
“That’s natural!”
Master of North Kingdom relaxed a little and said, “There are always spies from Albert Sitwell around my courtyard. General Wolf entering here so blatantly is not suitable for a long time, so as not to arouse Albert Sitwell’s suspicion!”
“But…”
Slightly hesitating, Master of North Kingdom worriedly said, “Lord Steer should be arriving soon, and I have a feeling that the day Lord Steer arrives will be my end!”
“Therefore!”
“General Wolf can only make a move before Lord Steer arrives!”
Master of North Kingdom wasn’t foolish. He deduced some things from the failed national war and the loss of his reputation caused by Albert Sitwell’s punishment, combined with the news that Lord Steer would personally come to North Kingdom. That’s why he urgently and recklessly begged Sean like this!
His time was running out!
“Don’t worry!”
Sean said, “I keep my word. If I break my promise or go back on my word, you can tell Lord Steer about my true identity when he arrives. You can bring me down with you!”
“Fine!”
Sean bypassed Master of North Kingdom and walked out of the underground secret room alone, but the turmoil in his heart couldn’t be calmed for a long time!
In fact!
Sean only said half of what happened just now. It was true that the chilling aura from Amy Colossal’s core could be drawn out by his bright energy, and it did rush into his body. What he didn’t mention was that after five minutes of dissolving and refining, that strand of chilling aura was transformed into his own bright energy, integrating into his core. It even provided a slight boost, taking him a small step closer to the second stage of Confluence that he had been eagerly pursuing!
Don’t underestimate this small step!
You should know that after Sean took the Confluence Pill given by Hastiff and refined it at the Plainwater Town branch, he couldn’t successfully advance to the second stage of Confluence as he had hoped. Although he had reached the critical point of breakthrough, he couldn’t break through, as if an invisible barrier was hindering him, causing him quite a headache!
But now!
The chilling aura gave him hope for a breakthrough. If he could absorb and refine all the chilling aura in Amy Colossal’s core, it was highly possible that he could break through that barrier, achieving the dream of the second stage of Confluence!
By that time!
Even if Lord Steer arrived, Sean would have enough power to protect himself and have greater confidence in completing his upcoming plans!
This!
This was the true reason why Sean agreed to Master of North Kingdom’s request!!!
