contemplated whether to let her breathing continue and fully show her strength, Anne said, “That’s enough! I know it now.”
“But I…” Bokir wanted to tell him that her current strength was due to the training with him every day and that she improved herself.
However, Bokir could not say those words as once she opened her mouth, her identity would be exposed.
Bokir felt an indescribable complex emotion spreading in her, and just as she felt the faint hurt, her eyes started warming up.
She wanted to thank him, but she could not.
At that time, Anne once again appeared in front of her and uttered, “Thank you.”
Bokir raised her head in surprise, and her eyes glistened as she looked at him.
“When I come back, I’ll defeat you,” Anne smiled and waved his hands.
“Then, goodbye for now.”
Bokir waved her hands, but the word, goodbye, was stuck in her throat.
In the end, she could only whisper in a voice that only she could hear, “Goodbye…”
Bokir looked at Anne’s back, but she suddenly felt odd.
Even though he bade goodbye, Anne did not leave.
Instead, he approached Hayley.
“The money.” Anne extended his hand toward Hayley.
“Do you want to exchange it for blood essence?” Hayley was amused as Anne was still the same.
He seemed only to have money in his mind, and no one would be able to cheat him.
“I don’t need blood essence this time.
Just money would be enough,” Anne replied.
“Alright.” Despite being surprised at Anne being out of character, Hayley did not say much but just nodded in agreement.
After taking his money, Anne quickly left the St.
Jade Chamber.
Then, with a flash, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
“Lady Bokir! Lady Bokir!” Lucy approached Bokir.
When she saw Bokir still in a trance, Lucy waved her hands in front of Bokir.
“He’s gone!”
Bokir was taken aback, and she came back to her senses.
Then, she hurriedly spoke meanly, trying to hide her embarrassment.
“I know!”
“Sigh.
Sandra’s so pitiful.
He’s going to be rejected by Lady Bokir tomorrow.
Tonight when we return, I’ll burn three sticks and incense and pour him a glass of wine as a comfort.” Lucy shook her head and sighed.
“Burn incense and pour wine?” Bokir looked at Lucy puzzledly, “Where did you learn such a way to comfort others? Are you sure he can feel it?”
“Of course,” Lucy nodded confidently, “My mother did the same on my father’s grave last time.”
Bokir and Hayley were speechless.

After leaving St.
Jade Chamber, Anne directly headed to the Lawrence Manor.
He did not return for about ten days.
In those ten days, his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, Anne advanced to the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm at an astonishing speed.
When he was in Salleria, even if those warriors had a great opportunity, great perseverance, and great wisdom, it would still take them at least 20 years to advance from the fourth stage to the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm.
It was only less than a month since Anne last achieved the fourth stage.
Anne used a month to reach a stage that ordinary warriors might need about so years, and some could not even complete it in their lifetime.
Thus, besides the Time Warp Zone, the blood essence and St.
Jade Chamber’s training were equally essential for him.
‘Watch out.
I’m going to surprise all of you!’ Looking at Evergreen Town with winding lights from a distance, Anne’s eyes glistened, and he smiled faintly.
In the midsummer night breeze, the young man’s silhouette exuded a strong power as if he could save the universe. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Then, he tossed the bag full of fedulings in his hand.
‘After tomorrow, these ten thousand fedulings will be useful for that thing in the sixth floor of the Tower of Life.’ Anne thought
At that time, in a dimly lit room in the Lawrence Manor, Yoel waved a sharp sword.
In the flash of silver light, the sword appeared as if it had more than ten blades.
Soon, the flying leaves that filled the air were split in half.
“Young Master Yoel, your swordsmanship is impressive.
With this martial skill, I’m sure you can be among the top two and represent our Lawrence family.” The servant who waited on the side complimented Yoel, trying to flatter him.
”Humph.
Isn’t that obvious?” Yoel said with a proud smile.
After all, he spent great effort practicing the middle-rank Mortal Grade Heavenly Spike Swordsmanship.
Although most of the attention for the Lawrence family’s younger generation would be on Bokir and Ashton, Yoel was also an excellent member.
He knew that point well, which was why Yoel could not tolerate Bjorne.
It was enough for the Lawrence family to have two brilliant guys.
Who was Anne anyway!
“It’s natural to get the chance to join the Lawrence family‘s trials, but my goal is more than that,” Yoel snorted, “Did you find out anything about the matter I asked you to investigate?”
The servant bowed slightly and answered, “I’ve checked them.
My people never left the small house for the past few days, and they informed me that Sandra wasn’t home for about ten days, and they didn’t know where he went.”
“Tsk.
Coward!” Yoel laughed menacingly, “If he’s really smart, he should’ve left earlier.
That way, he won’t suffer so much pain.
Of course, if he dares to return tomorrow.
I’ll show no mercy!”
The servant quickly agreed and flattered Yoel.
“You’re right, Young Master Yoel.
That Sandra’s digging his own grave.
I can’t believe he dares provoke you!”
On the other side of the Lawrence Manor, a two-story small building was hidden behind the quiet waterside pavilion and bamboo forest.
At that moment, Ashton sat cross-legged in a small room in the building, and there were two empty bottles in front of him.
These bottles were only the size of an adult’s thumb.
Ashton shut his eyes and meditated as his chest was undulating.
As for his father, Keith, stood not far away, looking at Ashton excitedly and anxiously.
After some time, Ashton said calmly, “Father, do you have something to say?”
Keith did not immediately answer Ashton, but he hurriedly approached Ashton and asked nervously, “How do you feel? Do you think the blood essence improves your state?”
“Since they can sell the blood essence at such a high price, it’ll surely improve one’s state.”
After hearing those words, Keith was yet to express his joy when he heard Ashton saying, “However, the blood essence’s vigor is too strong and overpowering.
I’m afraid I have only absorbed one-tenth of strength from the two bottles of blood essence I drank, and it’ll take at least fifteen days to absorb all of it.
”
“What about the trials tomorrow..?” Keith was worried.
Ashton glanced at Keith.
Although there was no accusation in Ashton’s voice, Keith’s heart trembled.
“Father, do you think I’ll lose to that trash?”
