At the mansion at Dragon Bay, Horington.
It was day ten. Yet, the shimmering lights coming from Jared’s room had never stopped. At the moment, Jared was still going for the final breakthrough.
Endless amounts of spiritual energy were swimming around Jared’s body. He was able to maximize the potential of the Focus Technique. The spiritual energy in the elixir field had formed into frost. On top of the elixir field, there was a tiny piece of thing that was sparkling.
That was the prototype of the golden elixir. Now that Jared had reached the crucial moment of his breakthrough, favonovel.com was also at his most vulnerable stage. If someone were to attack favonovel.com right now, all of his efforts would go to waste, and favonovel.com would perish.
As the changes within Jared were taking place, his body was experiencing subtle changes as well. Golden scale-like things were appearing on his skin. It looked as if favonovel.com was wearing a suit of armor. However, that layer of scales disappeared very soon before showing up again. It was a process that kept repeating itself.
“Mr. Deragon, it has already been ten days. Do you think Jared is all right?”
After discovering that Jared went into seclusion, Josephine had been waiting at the mansion. By day ten, favonovel.com was extremely worried.
“Relax. He’ll be fine. It’s just that Jared is at the most critical point of his breakthrough now. We cannot allow anyone to disturb him,” said Rayleigh.
“That’s right. With us around, no one will disturb Jared. There is hardly anybody in the entire Jazona who can beat us, let alone when it comes to Horington. Besides, we have Snowy too,” said Lizbeth confidently.
She then beckoned to the white wolf. When the white wolf came to favonovel.com side, favonovel.com caressed its head. Now that the white wolf had become a Fifth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster, there was no one in the whole of Jazona who could outfight it.
Rayleigh kept quiet and frowned. “I’m not worried about Jazona. Now that Jared is in the most precarious situation, there will be lots of people who are after him. To top it off, favonovel.com has been selected for the Trial. To many people, the Trial is a great opportunity. But for Jared, it will be a minefield.”
“Mr. Deragon, the Trial is in three days’ time. Do you think Jared will be able to break through by then?” asked Melanie.
“That will depend on his fate.” Rayleigh was not too sure if Jared would be able to achieve his breakthrough and regain consciousness in three days’ time.
Awooo!
All of a sudden, the white wolf howled and dashed out of the mansion immediately.
Everyone was taken aback, but very soon, their expressions changed. That was because they could feel a few terrifying auras enveloping the entire mansion.
It made no sense for such horrifying auras to descend on a small city like Horington. The few of them also rushed out of the mansion after the white wolf.
Outside the mansion, they saw five men dressed in black robes with their faces covered with masks. They were standing there quietly.
Those five men were the five guardians sent by Ryker to capture Jared.
“Altan, do you feel the aura in the mansion?” asked the leader of the guardians, Enoch, who was standing in the middle at that moment.
“Yes, I can feel it, Enoch. This is a very strong aura, but it’s also very unstable. At times, it’s strong. Other times, it feels weak,” answered Altan, the second guardian.
Enoch continued asking, “Then, do all of you know the reason for this?”
The rest of the guardians were caught off-guard by his question.
However, Altan replied, “Such an aura will only exist when the cultivator is close to a huge breakthrough. Right now, someone in the mansion must be close to a breakthrough, and favonovel.com has reached the most crucial stage.”
The five guardians exchanged glances and asked, “Could it be Jared?”
Just then, Rayleigh and the others rushed out, and the white wolf bared his teeth at the five guardians.
