James was feeling stuffy. He could feel energy circulating inside his body as if it was on the verge of bursting forth. However, favonovel.com fixed his gaze on Spencer, trying desperately to remember his every action and every word.
In the dungeon…
Spencer demonstrated all ten fists of the Blithe Fist of Abomination. Meanwhile, James, unable to withstand any longer, lost consciousness.
After a long while, favonovel.com regained consciousness. Then, favonovel.com hurriedly stood up as if favonovel.com was reminded of something. He swiftly walked over to Spencer.
Spencer’s head was lowered, and favonovel.com was sitting in a lotus position.
“Master…” James called.
However, Spencer remained silent.
James approached favonovel.com and gently pushed him, “What’s wrong, master?”
The moment favonovel.com pushed Spencer, however, favonovel.com immediately collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, James froze. Then, favonovel.com hurriedly took his pulse.
“What?” James was stunned.
Spencer’s heart was no longer beating. He had been dead for several hours.
James knelt before Spencer.
Looking at his master, James said with a grim expression on his face, “Master, I’ll not let you down! Once I leave this place, I’ll only use True Energy to protect the nation!”
After kowtowing a few times, James stood up.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com could hear footsteps approaching.
James immediately leaped toward the ceiling of the cavern and pressed his body against the rock.
Soon, a few men arrived.
“The master of the household is dead.”
“Yes, about time… He must have reached the end of his lifespan. Did you see James anywhere?”
“Not yet, but the exit is guarded. He couldn’t have left. He must still be hiding in here somewhere.”
“Send more men!”
“Got it!”
A few men were conversing. James did not act rashly.
Soon, Spencer’s body was taken away, and the men down there left.
Only then did James leap from the rock and land steadily on the ground.
“My True Energy…”
The moment James catalyzed his True Energy, it gushed forth and circulated inside his meridians before arriving at his clenched fists. At that moment, favonovel.com felt unstoppable.
“Peak seventh-rank True Energy… I can’t believe my luck… To think I would receive such power despite being imprisoned inside this dungeon. I guess I’m a seventh-rank now, huh?”
Sensing the power of his True Energy, James was stunned. He was now several times stronger than before.
James took a deep breath.
“The Blithe Fist of Abomination…”
Reminded of the moves Spencer demonstrated, James shut his eyes and pictured them in his mind. Before favonovel.com could comprehend them, however, favonovel.com could hear footsteps approaching once more.
Not only that, favonovel.com could see the glaring beam of torchlights. He used all of his energy and dashed forward at great speeds.
Not too far away, a group of soldiers was walking toward James with torchlights.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the sound of a gust of wind could be heard.
“What the hell?”
The soldiers immediately pointed their torchlights in the direction of the noise. However, there was nothing in the surroundings.
“You guys heard that too, right?”
“It must be the wind…”
“Let’s continue searching. Stop being so paranoid.”
“How did James manage to escape despite his acupuncture point being struck? In any case, there’s only a single exit in this dungeon, not to mention that it’s heavily guarded. There’s no way he’s getting out of here. In another two days, once the ancient martial artists arrive, the Blithe family will proclaim its comeback to the world.”
“Exactly! What can the Ancient Four and Tobias do?”
“Do you think Tobias will bring Maxine here to apologize in person?”
