Boom, boom!
The mysterious pearl in Alex Rockefellerâs upper energy core jumped around intensely, causing some
kind of rumbling inside of him. In fact, it appeared in between his eyebrows as if it was going to leap out
from his body on its own.
âAnother pearl!â
Alex could see it clearly.
The pearl Papa Hanson retrieved was almost identical to the one in Alexâs upper energy core. Based
on the aura it emitted, Alex was certain it was the same type of object. That explained why Alexâs pearl
had such a huge reaction.
âWhat exactly is this pearl?â Alex wondered.
Apart from feeling surprised, Alex also felt unceasingly curious. âCould these pearls have come from
the same roots? In fact, would they eventually combine?â
As Alex thought about these things, Papa Hanson spat a mouthful of blood. âYoung Rockefeller, I didnât
want to kill you at first, but you asked for it. Some things just werenât meant for you! The fact that you
get to die today because of my Celestial Oceanic Bead will be an honor for a martial arts cultivator like
you.â
After saying that, Papa Hanson instantly activated his pearlâs energy.
The halo of blue light around the pearl immediately released odd energy that engulfed Alex within.
Right then, Alex could sense his body being wrapped tightly by a layer of what felt like water. It bound
him tightly, and he found it difficult even to budge a little. Alex looked surprisingly at the pearl in Papa
Hansonâs hand. âCelestial Oceanic Bead? What is this thing? It has such immense power. It feels
almost as if Iâm in the depths of the ocean,â Alex said.
Papa Hanson snorted coldly.
âWhat is it? You wouldnât know even if I told you. Just know that itâs a mysterious treasure that youâll
never acquire in this lifetime. It greatly surpasses the abilities of mystical tools. Forget about someone
like you with low level cultivation, even an expert in the Blood Cult will have to surrender to me with the
Celestial Oceanic Bead in my hands,â he said.
âOceanic Force Imprisonment!â Papa Hanson shouted right after that
Within an instant, the blue light emitted by the pearl grew even brighter. Moreover, a circle of light blue
energy formed a blue, rope like cage that the naked eye could see. It trapped Alex firmly inside, and
the circle grew smaller and smaller.
Seeing Alex being trapped made Maya Howards panic. She instantly started to attack Papa Hanson.
Using Silver Frost, she struck at him with her Ice Cold Touch.
âGo to hell!â she yelled.
To her surprise, Papa Hanson casually waved his hand. Another energy shield fired out of the Celestial
Oceanic Bead and directly wrapped around Maya. Not only did it effortlessly diffuse her Ice Cold Touch,
but it even fully engulfed her body. Maya was imprisoned in place, and she couldnâ t move.
By then, Papa Hanson started laughing loudly as if he had already emerged victorious.
âMaya, stop struggling. Itâs futile. Even if you have a half- stepped Grandmasterâs cultivation, you have
no way of resisting my Oceanic Force Imprisonment. Look. On the basis that weâve been friends, why
donât we strike a deal? I really donât want to use brute force on you,â he said.
âWhat kind of deal?â Maya asked.
Papa Hanson chuckled. âLet me absorb your bloodlineâs energy. Youâll do so voluntarily. After that, Iâll
let your boyfriend go. The two of you will still get to live, and youâll get to live together happily ever
after,â he said.
Maya looked panicked.
She was especially concerned when she saw how the Oceanic Force was trapping Alex. In fact, he
was being strangled, and it seemed as if he would die of suffocation at any moment.
Feeling incomparably pained in her heart, Maya finally nodded. âAlright. Iâll take the deal! How do I
transfer my bloodlineâs energy to you?â she asked.
Papa Hanson chuckled. âThis is easy! The Bloodthirsty Demonic Art from Blood Cult focuses on the
coupling of man and woman. As long as you willingly sleep with me once and allow me to acquire your
blood, the deal will be done, and Iâll let your boyfriend go,â he said.
âWhat?â Mayaâs facial expression changed drastically.
How could she do this?! If she did it, that would mean losing her virginity. How could she face Alex and
still be with him?
