Chapter 456: 456
Translator: 549690339
Ethan Smith gazed at the distant Hydrating Tower, his eyes filled with longing.
Releasing his divine sense, he gingerly stepped towards the Hydrating Tower.
The Hydrating Tower was perched on a remote mountain peak, appearing natural yet bearing slight signs of man-made craftsmanship.
The tower wasn’t very high, but it overlooked a good half of Dolan.
This towering Hydrating Tower was the private property of Atticus Kane.
After almost half an hour, Ethan finally reached the base of the Hydrating Tower.
Standing before the tower, Ethan seemed exceptionally tiny.
Looking up at the Hydrating Tower, he knit his brows and said, “Strangely, I can’t feel a trace of qi.”
Odd. If he couldn’t sense any qi, how did Atticus Kane and Dudley Lynch use the tower for cultivation?
“Could it be… the tower has nothing to do with this?” Ethan furrowed his brow.
Or could the Hydrating Tower just be a place for them to stay while they cultivated?
“No matter, I’m already here, let’s go up and see.” Ethan muttered to himself.
Then, he headed into the Hydrating Tower.
A simplistic large gate obstructed Ethan’s path.
The gate was at least five meters high and seemed extremely heavy.
Ethan reached out to try and open the gate.
However, the moment his hand touched the gate, a tremendous force surged up!
Ethan, who was taken by surprise, was knocked back by the force. He stumbled a few steps back before regaining control.
Ethan rose from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and frowned saying, “It seems to be sealed.”
Could it be… only Atticus Kane and Dudley Lynch were allowed into the tower?
Ethan walked up to the gate again, circulated his spiritual power, and tried to open the gate.
The repelling force arose again, blocking Ethan’s path.
“It really seems that way,” Ethan murmured.
If he couldn’t open the gate, then he had no choice but to force his way in.
But right now, Ethan’s spiritual power was depleted and he couldn’t even use a tenth of his strength.
So, he could only sit cross-legged under the Hydrating Tower and slowly recover his strength.
Meanwhile, Dudley Lynch had left Dolan and returned to the Hill Family of Central Plains on the same day.
Standing at the airport of the Hill family, a cold smirk surfaced on Dudley’s face.
“In the entirety of the Central Plains, I’m the only half-step Martial Marquis. Calling me the Number One Person of Central Plains wouldn’t be an exaggeration,” said Dudley nonchalantly.
At that moment, a hoarse voice echoed in his mind, “Even throughout Pyro, there aren’t many who have reached half-step Martial Marquis…”
Hearing this, the smile on Dudley’s face grew wider.
“From today going forward, I am the King of Central Plains!” Dudley chuckled.
Upon returning home, Dudley did not hurry to Chuzzle.
Instead, he sent someone to post a challenge letter on the Martial Arts Forum!
The target of this challenge was none other than Ethan Smith!
“Three days from now, I will be in Chuzzle. Prepare yourself,” Dudley coldly declared on the Martial Arts Forum.
When this message appeared, the Martial Arts Forum erupted!
“Dudley Lynch? The first person on the Potential Ranking?”
“So, the top two are finally going to battle?”
“What’s wrong with Ethan lately? First, the Halcroen Sect issued a kill order for him, now Dudley Lynch from the Central Plains Hill Family has challenged him to battle.”
“Maybe he upset some public sentiment.”
Countless people were discussing this, with some even beginning to analyze the strength of the two.
