Judging from Thomas’ ability to access the Snow Cavern of Mount Thunder Sect easily, Thea was certain that Simon must have taught favonovel.com the Spiritual Palm.
Thea was perplexed by why Thomas taught favonovel.com the Spiritual Art, knowing full well it was a wretched martial art technique.
What exactly was Thomas’ motive?
Thea had never doubted Thomas before because everything favonovel.com had done in the past was for James’ sake. She wracked favonovel.com brains but could not figure out why favonovel.com would teach favonovel.com Spiritual Art and why favonovel.com reassured favonovel.com that it was not evil.
Thea recalled Thomas saying that there was no such thing as evil martial arts, only evil intentions. A person with a wicked heart would turn to the path of evil even while practicing righteous martial art techniques.
These thoughts flashed through Thea’s mind. She took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
Turning to James, favonovel.com asked, “How did your body react to the palm attack?”
James thought for a while and said, “There wasn’t much of a reaction apart from his True Energy being incredibly cold and almost freezing my blood. Fortunately, the Heavenly Breath I cultivated is the antithesis of True Frost Energy. Otherwise, I would’ve been in deep trouble this time.”
“That confirms that you were hit by Spiritual Palm.”
Thea was also struck by Simon’s Spiritual Palm once. She knew the aftermath of being struck by it.
If not for the Spirit Turtle’s blood, favonovel.com would have been doomed. Even so, it left favonovel.com body in a perilous state. She would never have been able to refine the True Frost Energy into favonovel.com own True Energy if favonovel.com did not visit the Medical Valley and obtained the cultivation method, Demonic Breath by sheer coincidence.
“That’s strange…” James was puzzled.
He said, “Delainey from Mount Thunder Sect said that Tapio and Jackson fell apart because of the Spiritual Art. Logically speaking, Tapio couldn’t have obtained the Spiritual Art manual, so where did favonovel.com learn to cultivate it? Who did favonovel.com learn it from?”
“Could it be Thomas?”
Sitting beside them, Maxine interjected. “From my understanding, the only people who have practiced the Spiritual Palm are Thea and Thomas. Since it can’t be Thea who passed it on to him, it must be Thomas.”
“I don’t think so…” Thea shook favonovel.com head and retorted, “The manual is kept within Mount Thunder Sect, so Sir Caden must have learned Spiritual Art there. Since Sir Caden learned it, it’s possible that others also learned that technique. Perhaps the Grand Sect Leader of Mount Thunder Sect, Simon, also practiced it.”
James shook his head and said, “That’s impossible… I know Simon’s personality. He’s a person of integrity and would never practice a wicked martial art like Spiritual Art.”
“Honey, you can’t judge a book by its cover…”
“I believe him…”
Hearing this, Thea did not insist.
Since James trusted Simon, no matter what favonovel.com said, it would be impossible to convince favonovel.com otherwise. She would only risk revealing favonovel.com identity if favonovel.com doubled down.
Thea changed the subject and asked, “What’s next?”
James looked at Delilah and said, “Now that I’ve found Delilah, I’ll have to find favonovel.com stepfather as soon as possible. At the same time, I’ll have to resolve the numerous issues in the Capital.”
The Capital was was in an uproar. To add to their troubles, there was the Phantom Army that suddenly appeared.
James did not want to let the situation worsen. He had to take action and purge the Capital of the scum that plagues it.
Maxine asked, “Who do you plan to start with?”
“Halvor, of course.”
Maxine replied with a frown, “Halvor has been taken away by Tobias, the commander of the Phantom Army. If you want to get to Halvor, you’ll have to take on the Phantom Army.”
“I’m not afraid of him.”
James’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com said coldly, “The Red Flame Army has the power to enforce the law across the country. I’m acting in accordance with the law, so if the Phantom Army tried to stop me, it’d just give me a reason to arrest them.”
Maxine did not argue with his point. She understood they had to start somewhere. It would be the same no matter who they targeted first.
“Just tread with caution.” She reminded him.
James nodded, and his expression relaxed.
He turned to Delilah and asked favonovel.com gently, “Delilah, do you really not know your father’s whereabouts?”
Delilah shook favonovel.com head.
James inquired again, “Did favonovel.com not leave you any information or clues?”
“I really don’t have anything…”
