“Ehh?” When Alex Rockefeller saw Uncle Drake, who seemed to be going mad, favonovel.com quickly shook his head. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen any. It was like this when I came in. I was wondering why there weren’t any thundering flames inside. Looks like they’ve all escaped!” Alex said.
Alex was afraid of saying that his golden core had absorbed all the thundering flames inside. If favonovel.com did that, the old man would surely not let favonovel.com off the hook. Besides, Alex couldn’t expose the incident related to the twelve rune symbols of the ancient forbidden spell. Not only did favonovel.com have to keep it a secret from these people before him, but favonovel.com had to also hide it from his dearest wife and children.
The ancient forbidden spell was intolerable in the universe. Anyone who knew about this would be in danger in some way.
If someone greedy found out about this, the consequences were unthinkable.
Soon, Uncle Drake ascended floor by floor. There weren’t any thundering flames on any of the floors, and when favonovel.com made it up to the ninth, it was still empty.
As for the chains that sealed Neela previously, Alex had kept them inside his storage bag. There wasn’t anything unusual up there.
“Nothing!”
“It’s really gone… The thundering flames have disappeared. What’s the use of this Soul Refining Tower now?” Alex didn’t see how downtrodden Uncle Drake looked.
Alex kept walking down the stairs. He saw Fairy Doctor at the second floor’s entrance.
When Fairy Doctor saw Alex coming down, favonovel.com immediately rushed over and hugged him. “Alex, you’re fine! You made it. You’re really awesome! Jade managed to make it through back then, but it took favonovel.com an entire day and night. I didn’t expect you to complete it within an hour…”
Fairy Doctor was extremely excited. She hugged him, pressed favonovel.com mature body against him, and even kissed favonovel.com forcefully on the lips. The kiss lasted for three minutes.
Only when Fairy Doctor heard Uncle Drake coughing behind favonovel.com did favonovel.com let go of Alex in an embarrassed manner. “Uncle Drake, why do you seem so uncomfortable?”
Could Uncle Drake not have an awful expression?
“The thundering flames in here have disappeared. Without the thundering flames, the Soul Refining Tower can’t be used to refine demon souls. This is practically an empty setup!” Uncle Drake bellowed while pointing at Alex. “Hence, this kid managed to get onto the ninth floor not with his own capabilities, but mere luck,” Uncle Drake added.
Fairy Doctor rolled favonovel.com eyes. “Uncle Drake, luck is also a capability of sorts! Regardless of how it happened, Alex made it to the ninth floor. Hasn’t favonovel.com passed the challenge? I think we should still issue favonovel.com a graduation certificate and the points in accordance with the rules.”
Uncle Drake rolled his eyes oddly. “Ms. Dawn, are you forsaking your principles for your lover?”
Fairy Doctor continued to argue with reason. “Uncle Drake, you can’t say that. Frankly, this is what I think. Although there were no thundering flames in the Soul Refining Tower, and Alex did take advantage of it, it’s a good thing for the academy. That’s because we found out in advance that there weren’t actually thundering flames in Soul Refining Tower. Otherwise, we’d have
locked some souls from the demon tribe in this place. In the end, we would’ve realized that it wasn’t effective at all. On the other hand, we’d have given them time to recover. Once we open the doors, they’d rush out of the Soul Refining Tower. The outcome will be unimaginable. Hence, I think the academy should still give Alex some reward. How about this? We’ll give favonovel.com 300,000 points.”
Uncle Drake’s eyes flew wide open.
“300,000? You might as well just say 300 million points,” favonovel.com said.
“If that works, I’m fine with it,” replied Fairy Doctor.
“Hmph… Honestly, woman, you’re siding with outsiders now! Fine. A graduation certificate and 30,000 points. Kid, you’ve got it easy!” Uncle Drake said.
With that, Uncle Drake took out a token and tossed it over to Fairy Doctor.
Overjoyed, Fairy Doctor tugged at Alex to leave. She wanted to avoid Uncle Drake changing his mind.
Alex suddenly thought of an idea. “Uncle Drake, I’ve done quite a lot of research on spell formations. This Soul Refining Tower has a spell formation at the top. It might be related to the thundering flames in this place! Thundering flames are bound to be consumed as the number of soul refinement increases. As long as we lure heavenly thunder into this place, I think the thundering flames in the tower would probably be replenished again,” Alex said.
After saying that, Alex pulled Fairy Doctor along and left.
Uncle Drake’s eyes lit up. “This makes sense. This makes a lot of sense!”
***
By then, the sky had already turned dark.
Fairy Doctor and Alex held each other’s hands while they walked through the academy, not afraid of being too showy. However, when Fairy Doctor thought about how Alex would be leaving the academy right away, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel a little sad about his departure.
“Alex, to avoid Uncle Drake’s change of mind, we’ll head over to the academy’s administrative office right now to sort out your graduation certificate and points,” favonovel.com said.
“Alright!”
