Coby was not a fool. He knew Skylar told favonovel.com all those things because the latter wanted favonovel.com to deal with Jared.
Since Jared could hurt Skylar, Jared must be formidable. Coby would not be so stupid as to provoke someone as strong as Jared and turn favonovel.com into the Rowling family’s enemy. Nevertheless, favonovel.com was very interested in fighting Jared in an arena.
Skylar was dumbfounded. He thought that by informing Coby of the secret of Pentacarna Tower, the latter would assist favonovel.com in handling Jared.
It turned out favonovel.com was too naïve in making the assumption.
However, the next second, Skylar sneered, spun on his heels and strode toward the exit.
“Since you are reluctant to deal with Jared, I’ll look for somebody else to undertake the task. I believe there are people who will wish to take over Jared’s treasures, such as the draconic essence, Storage Ring, and Dragonslayer Sword. Especially the draconic essence in his body, which is the product of the fusion of two pieces of draconic essence and had developed the Power of Dragons,” Skylar uttered on his way out.
“Hold on!” Coby suddenly called out to Skylar.
“Is there anything else, Mr. Coby?” Skylar turned around and asked.
“Are all the treasures you mentioned earlier in Jared’s possession? Also, you said the draconic essence manifested the Power of Dragons. Is that true?” Coby questioned Skylar doubtfully.
Skylar nodded and replied firmly, “Of course. If you do not believe me, Mr. Coby, you can search for any video of Jared’s battles on the martial arts forum. You can see those items I talked about in the recordings.”
Coby gazed at Skylar for a short while before saying, “All right. As long as Jared is still in Xenhall, favonovel.com can forget about leaving that place.”
After that, Coby summoned Jericho into the room and ordered, “Immediately lead a group of men to Xenhall’s Gardner Manor and guard that tower well. Forbid anyone from entering because that place will now be the Rowling family’s territory. If you all stumble into Jared, avoid confronting him. I’ll be there soon.”
Coby was worried that Jericho would not fare well against Jared in a fight. That would alarm Jared in the process and scare favonovel.com away. If Jared fled, it would be difficult to track favonovel.com down again.
“Yes, sir!” Jericho nodded.
Skylar smirked after taking in that scene. Then, favonovel.com directly left without saying another word. He figured no one could resist that huge temptation.
After leaving the Rowling residence, a hint of coldness flashed across Skylar’s eyes.
Skylar scoffed inwardly.
Jared, I will not let you obtain what I can’t have. I’ll turn everyone against you…
Soon, an anonymous user released a piece of news on the martial arts forum, announcing to everyone that Jared had consumed the draconic essences of Ice Dragon and Flame Dragon. Moreover, the two pieces of draconic essences had fused, blessing Jared with the Power of Dragons.
That news erupted into an uproar on the martial arts forum instantaneously.
Many people were aware of the legend of the presence of Ice Dragon and Flame Dragon at Dragon Island. They also knew that draconic essence could help in cultivation and improve one’s strength. Those were commonly acquired information.
However, that was merely a myth. Besides, the boost provided by draconic essence was insignificant. The benefit drawn from a piece of draconic essence paled even in comparison to a beast core. Therefore, no one was willing to take the disproportionate risk to lay their hands on a piece of draconic essence.
That was also why Warren could not care less about the draconic essence in Jared’s body in the past.
Now that the others knew the fusion of two pieces of draconic essences could generate the Power of Dragons, many people felt regretful at that instant.
However, unbeknownst to the public, even if they did consume the draconic essences and managed to fuse the pieces, the Power of Dragons would not be activated. Those draconic essences could only exert their full potential in Jared’s body.
Suddenly, a lot of people in the martial arts world started paying attention to Jared, searching for his whereabouts as they planned to snatch the draconic essences in Jared’s body for themselves.
***
At that moment, Jared was still immersed in his cultivation inside the Pentacarna Tower, completely oblivious to the ongoing matters in the martial arts forum.
