Henry had only been testing his guess, but to his surprise, he was right.Based on what he knew, the person in front of him had to be one of four powerhouses. Judging by the figure and movements, it could not be Kevin the Arctic Titan, nor Lucifer the Westin Curia Master. That left only Shane or Jorge.Initially, Henry suspected Jorge, but the techniques, the fact that the person did not stop Lydia and that they did not go hard on Martha, coupled with the lack of a strong killing intent toward him, led Henry to conclude that it could only be Shane.Without answering, Henry instead asked in confusion, "Why?"Shane let out a sigh and explained, "From what I know, when your father was on the brink of death, he was saved by a jade pendant, which improved his health. I wanted to see if pushing you to the edge would activate the pendant's power within you."He smiled wryly. He could not take all of the three powerhouses down by himself. The only solution was to help Henry grow as fast a
Henry frowned. He did not like that explanation. He asked, "As far as I know, you're interested in the jade pendant, too, right?"Shane was startled. He immediately understood that Henry did not believe in him. He nodded and said, "Of course. I've seen the jade pendant but found nothing in it after studying it for some time."So, it will be meaningless to me even if you give it to me now."After he spoke, Shane glanced at Martha, who was still unconscious. Her eyelashes moved a little. He said, "I understand you probably don't trust me."Henry did not refute it. He might not be so doubtful if not because of Charlie's incident earlier. However, how could he trust others easily after all that had happened?"Well, there's no harm in telling you more. There's a land of inheritance in Aurelia City, which may help you comprehend your cultivation and strengthen your power significantly."I believe Lucifer and the others already know of your location. You can only deter them if you can b
'What's going on?'Henry's expression changed drastically because the power was too terrifying. It would be fine if it were happening to him. How would an ordinary woman like Lydia be able to stand the power?"What's wrong with me?" Lydia's face was blushing, not in a good way. She looked as if she was on fire.Her body shook crazily, and even her lips were trembling uncontrollably. That showed how painful she was feeling."Don't worry; it will be fine in a moment." Henry comforted her and activated his energy immediately to send gentle vital energy into Lydia's body to help her dissolve the power in her body.Even though what Henry did was working, it was not too effective.Suddenly, Martha got up and walked in front of the two of them. She looked at Lydia and noticed a faint mark on her forehead.Shocked, she asked, "Is that the awakening of the Phoenix Bloodline?"Martha even forgot to ask Henry if he had killed her master. Perhaps it was because she saw Henry was also in a
"Will she be alright?" Henry asked with concern. It did not matter if she were to cultivate in the future; the most important thing was that she would be safe."She'll be fine."Martha hesitated for a moment before replying. If Henry interrupted Lydia's Phoenix Bloodline awakening, it might harm Lydia instead."I shall wait then." Henry hesitated but decided to listen to Martha. Even though Martha was Alisa's disciple, her personality was different. She was a kind and righteous girl.Time passed slowly. Henry had been guarding by Lydia's side. He used his powerful strength to isolate everything around them to avoid drawing anyone's attention.Martha was right next to him. She wanted to ask Henry about her master. She had to hold onto the thoughts with frustration when she saw how focused Henry was. He was staring closely at Lydia all the time. His vision did not move away, not even for a single second.Soon, it was 4:00 A.M. Over four hours had passed. Henry felt relaxed because
"What are you daydreaming about?""You're so beautiful." Henry sighed."What? It's not like this is the first time we've met. I'm flattered.""Why don't you look in the mirror?" Henry said."Why do I need to look in the mirror? I know myself," Lydia replied.She hesitated for a moment before she said, "Henry, can you guide me in cultivation?""Guide you in cultivation?"Henry was stunned. Did she know that her body strength had changed?"Yes, I don't want to watch you fight alone and be unable to help. Will it not work?"Lydia was disappointed. She had watched some drama series that stated that when a person's meridian was fixed, one would not achieve any effect from cultivation."Not really. You can cultivate. Maybe you'll even be as powerful as me very soon." Henry smiled bitterly. It was never good to compare against others.It took Henry years of hard work to get to where he was. Given Lydia's new power in her body, it would not take long for her to catch up with him."
Lydia was shocked. Everything that had just happened was beyond her imagination. It had utterly overturned everything in her mind."What's wrong?" Henry asked with concern when he noticed that Lydia seemed shocked. He was also surprised by Lydia's crazy breakthrough.Out of his expectations, Lydia had achieved Grandmaster level after only one cultivation session. Even though she was still at an early stage, she was only an ordinary person before that.The Phoenix Bloodline was magical and terrifying."I'm good. I feel great."Lydia felt extremely comfortable. There was an extremely powerful force all over her body. She felt as if she could destroy everything with one punch.Most importantly, she felt like a technique was absorbed into her body. Although she did not know what technique that was, the method was integrated into the power of her body and then into her mind.She told Henry about that immediately.Henry was shocked to hear that.That explained why he thought Lydia's
Maxine said respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Truman."Lydia was stunned. She seemed to have seen the elderly lady before, but she was not sure."Lydia, this is Maxine. She's a powerful master. She's been secretly protecting you all this time," Henry said."I see..."Lydia finally realized that Henry had discreetly arranged for a powerful master to protect her, but she was not aware of it at all."I introduced you to each other because after I leave, you can train with her. It will help to enhance your battle skill and improve your cultivation speed," Henry explained. If not for those reasons, he would not have let Maxine appear.Maxine was stunned. She had protected Lydia for quite a long time. She had always known that Lydia was a weak woman. Henry wanted her to train with Lydia. Was that a joke?Since Henry gave the order, Maxine would have to stay with Lydia and practice with her, no matter how weak she was. She could restrict her power and not use her vital energy while practic
Henry was about to leave after all the arrangements had been made.Then, Martha appeared. She held a long sword and looked aloof. She seemed extraordinarily stunning and attractive but exuded an extremely terrifying cold aura.She looked cold and unfriendly.The moment had finally arrived.Henry looked frustrated. However, he did not regret killing Alisa. She deserved to die for what she had done to his family over the years."Henry Truman, let me ask you something. Did you kill my master, Alisa Porter?" Martha asked without any delay.When Maxine saw that, she snorted coldly and walked forward with a powerful force. She said coldly, "How dare you call Mr. Truman by his full name?"It was a force from an Earthly Immortal. Martha felt a terrifying pressure sweeping over them instantly. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably; she could barely stand firm, and she was about to fall and kneel on the ground.However, Martha gritted her teeth and held on tightly, not letting herself
