Seeing this figure, the color drained from Ethan Smithâs face.
The visitor was none other than Broderick, the incarnation of the Heaven Swallowing Python.
Standing in front of Ethan, looking down with a sneer, he said, âDo you still plan to run? Who will save you this time?â
Ethan narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly, âYou animal, youâre lucky that slap last time didnât kill you!â
Unfazed, the Heaven Swallowing Python spat back, âWithout those two corpses, how will you deal with me?â
As he spoke, a strong surge of energy burst out from the pythonâs body.
Ethan knew that this great battle was inevitable, so he didnât dare to slack off and immediately adjusted his energy to its peak.
At the same time, the Divine Dragon Power flickered at the center of Ethanâs brow.
A red mark shimmered and lit up his forehead.
âCome on!â Just as Ethan prepared to attack, a hint of panic flashed across the pythonâs face!
It instinctively retreated two steps, and its black pupils were filled with fear.
Noticing the pythonâs behavior, Ethan couldnât help but furrow his eyebrows.
What happened? How had the Heaven Swallowing Python, which was flaunting its prowess moments ago, suddenly turned out like this?
Ethan stared into the pythonâs eyes, and soon discerned something.
The pythonâs gaze remained fixed on the Divine Dragon mark on his forehead!
So, it was the Divine Dragon Mark that scared off the Heaven Swallowing Python!
âOh, youâre a demonic beast, naturally afraid of the Divine Dragon, arenât you?â Ethan seemed to guess something.
As he spoke, Ethan took one step at a time towards the Heaven Swallowing Python.
The pythonâs face grew increasingly panicked.
As Ethan got closer, the color drained from its face, and it even plopped down on its butt!
âHahaha!â Seeing this, Ethan couldnât help but burst into laughter.
âThatâs all youâve got? It seems your fear of the Divine Dragon is etched deep into your bones and bloodline,â Ethan said with narrowed eyes.
Struggling to his feet, the python gritted its teeth and said, âEthan Smith, donât be too cocky for too long. What can the Divine Dragon Power do anyway!â
âReally?â Ethan sneered.
âWhy donât you try attacking and see!â Ethan shouted.
The python trembled all over. It seemed like it wanted to attack, but its body wasnât listening.
âYou⦠you just wait!â The python gnashed its teeth in anger.
Ethan coldly said, âGet lost!â
Clenching its teeth, the python turned and ran.
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.
âDamn, thankfully I have the Divine Dragon Powerâ¦â Ethan patted his chest.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, he whispered, âRelying on the Divine Dragon Power wonât last forever. Sooner or later, the Heaven Swallowing Python will overcome this mental pressure.â
The so-called bloodline suppression is, in fact, a fear ingrained in their genes. All the pressure comes from the mind.
Once the python overcomes its mental pressure, Ethan still wouldnât be safe.
âI have to improve my strength as soon as possible,â Ethan murmured.
â¦
Originally planning on leaving the Martial Arts Academy, Ethan suddenly changed his mind.
That night, he stood alone in the square, releasing his divine sense, trying to find the connection to the Mystic Realm once more.
Unlike Gyeon City, the Martial Arts Academy was lively, making the search for the connection more difficult than before.
Sweat dripped from his forehead as he focused entirely on his task.This feeling was extremely unique, like a psychic hand aimlessly searching, relying on its divine sense to grasp the faint and elusive connection.
âFound it!â
After an unknown amount of time, Ethan Smith finally caught a thread-like connection!
He suddenly opened his eyes and followed this faint connection, striding forward.
With the feeling growing stronger, Ethan had gone several hundred meters and finally stopped at a courtyard.
The courtyard gate was tightly closed, giving off a stern atmosphere.
This area seemed even colder and quieter, with no signs of people around.
Ethan looked at the gate in front of him and whispered, âAccording to my experience in Gyeon City, there should be a hidden Mystic Realm here.â
Then, Ethan reached out his hand, attempting to touch the gate.
âBoom!â
The moment they made contact, an extremely powerful force exploded, sending Ethan flying!
That terrifying force was like the overwhelming waves of a collapsing mountain, causing even Ethanâs fleshly body to cough up blood.
âWhat a powerful force!â Ethan got up from the ground.
Gazing at the gate in front of him, he whispered, âIs Emily locked in this Mystic Realmâ¦â
This was the only Mystic Realm that Ethan had found in the Martial Arts Academy. The Capital City Martial Arts Association had control of countless other Mystic Realms, so finding the one holding Emily was not an easy task.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ethan took a deep breath, wanting to forcefully break through the gate, but doing so would definitely alert the Martial Arts Associationâs members.
âBrute force wonât work.â Ethan found himself in a dilemma for a moment.
After much thought, Ethan decided to leave for now and discuss the matter with the man with the mustache the next day.
However, as Ethan turned around, he realized that Ms. Hayward had already been standing behind him.
She stared at Ethan coldly with her pair of eyes.
Her icy and intimidating aura caused the temperature to drop several degrees.
As their eyes met, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
âWho told you to come here?â Ms. Hayward said coldly.
Ethan frowned, not wanting to cause suspicion, so he lied, âI couldnât sleep and decided to take a walk. Whatâs wrong with that?â
âOut for a walk?â Ms. Hayward sneered repeatedly.
âDo you think Iâm a fool?â
âBelieve it or not.â Ethan snorted and turned to leave.
However, at that moment, Ms. Hayward reached out with her claw-like hand, blocking Ethanâs path.
Ethan furrowed his brow and said, âWhat do you want?â
Ms. Hayward mockingly said, âEthan, do you really think that just because there are officials involved now, I wonât dare to kill you?â
Ethan stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
As Ms. Hayward said, officials had already been dispatched to intervene with the Capital City Martial Arts Association in the past few days.
As a result, the martial arts association was like a frightened bird, hardly daring to do anything.
âThis is the fourth time such an official intervention has happened,â Ms. Hayward commented casually.
âThey will stay here for a week at most. After a week, everything will quiet down.â
Ethan scoffed, âSo what?â
âSo?â Ms. Hayward grinned, revealing her yellow teeth.
âSo, you only have one week left to live. Cherish it.â
Ethan gave a light snort, not saying anything, and turned to leave.
At that moment, Ms. Hayward suddenly reached out and grabbed Ethanâs head!
