Colin dered, “I won’t lose interest! I will win Renee over!” With that, he led the others in pursuit of
Jared’s group.
They had barely taken two steps when Colin turned around to address Keh and Kristoff, “Both of you
aren’t allowed to mess around with Renee’s friends, got it? If you want to enjoy thepany of women,
I’ll send you a truckload after we’re back.”
Keh snorted and replied, “Cut it out! I never said I was going to y around with any woman. That’s
all in your imagination.”
He did not alight from the boat to pursue women in the first ce.
Kristoff, on the other hand, had been interested in hitting on the pretty Josephine.
Colin’s point-nk warning had him smiling and saying dramatically, “All right. I will sacrifice myself for
your happiness!”
“Keh, Kristoff, I’ll treat both of you to drinks after this!” Colin announced before setting off in hasty
pursuit.
Keh and Kristoff exchanged a tense nce before following Colin.
Meanwhile, Jared had led Josephine and the others deeper into the ind. After checking that no one
was following them, he took out his map and checked it. He confirmed their bearings and continued
walking.
There was little trace of human activity on the ind. Thick snow made it difficult to see into the distance.
Additionally, the ind was shrouded in dense spiritual energy.
Josephine took a deep breath with her eyes closed. She sighed, “The air on this ind is amazing.”
Jared smiled at the sight of Josephine’s expression andmented, “Don’t breathe with your nose. Try
to use your body to absorb the surrounding air.”
Josephine could sense the spiritual energy on the ind thanks to the detoxification pill she had
consumed earlier; this was how she perceived the exceptional freshness of the air in regions with high
levels of spiritual energy.
“You don’t need to lecture us on that. Mr. Deragon taught us that trick a long time ago,” Lizbeth teased.
Josephine and Lizbeth had both eaten detoxification pills. Their bodies had undergone changes that
allowed them to detect the presence of spiritual energy. They also studied cultivation methods and
learned to absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, officially embarking on the path toward spiritual
energy cultivation.
“That’s great. The spiritual energy here is strong, and we can take the opportunity to strengthen
ourselves,” Jared said.
The pores on his body expanded and began absorbing the spiritual energy around him as though they
were starved.
Jared was now in the Fourth Tier of the Transcendence Phase. Defeating a Second Level Martial Arts
Grandmaster was peanuts for him. Armed with his magecraft, Jared could give a Level Three Martial
Arts Grandmaster a run for his money.
I wonder when I’ll achieve Core Formation Phase. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster at his peak would
hardly frighten me then!
Jared had never longed for power and strength more than he did at that moment.
He knew that being invincible was the only way to save his mother and make the Deragons pay for their
crimes. His heart ached when he thought of the torment his mother had experienced for over twenty
years.
Just then, Colin and his men caught up to Jared’s group. Colin rasped, “Wait for me, Renee. Wait for
me.”
Though Colin’s abilities were equivalent to that of a Grandmaster, his pampered upbringing had not
prepared him for the biting cold on the ind.
Jared frowned slightly at the sight of Colin’s men. It’ll be difficult to execute our ns if there are people
following us around!
Josephine teased, “Renee, does he actually like you?”
Renee looked displeased with Colin’s pursuit. She knew why they were on Dragon Ind, and their
group needed to act alone, or they would only invite trouble.

Colin neared their group and grinned. He uttered, “Renee, you ran away so quickly. It was so hard to
catch up to you.”
