Chapter 72
The man felt as if his bones were about to break into pieces after being smashed heavily to the ground, and he could smell an intense, sickeningly dry, sweet metallic scent.
Before he could shout in pain, he felt a hand grab on his neck like a pincher.
The murderous aura instantly pressured him, and he felt as if Amber controlled his life.
The man started to tremble all over, and tears surged out from his eyes uncontrollably.
Then, the man heard a growl.
“Tell me! Who asked you to follow me?!”
At the same time, the man felt the person tightened his grip around his neck, and he felt his oxygen level depleted.
Soon, his consciousness was blurry, and he even stuck his tongue out.
Finally, just as he thought he was going to die, Amber loosened his grip slightly.
When he felt the fresh air entering his lungs, the man greedily gasped for air as if he was a drowning man who was finally rescued to the shore by someone.
However, he only managed to take a few breaths before he was choked again.
“I‘ll tell you everything!” then, as he did not want to feel such despair anymore, the man hurriedly answered, “It’s my fault! We thought you were rich with fedulings, so we wanted to see if we could earn a small fortune!”
Amber frowned, and he once again tightened his grip.
“Are you lying to me?”
The man’s tongue stuck out again, and his face was filled with despair and fear.
“I’m not! I’m telling you the truth.
When you were killing Jonah, one of us saw that you had fedulings.
Please, let me go.
I won’t do it ever again. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I’m sorry… Cough… Cough…” At the end of his sentence, the man almost could not make a sound anymore.
Amber pondered for a moment.
Then, with a loud slap, he knocked the man out.
After that, he woke up another man and used the same method to interrogate him.
After asking the four men, Amber finally believed that they did that in the spur of the moment as they saw Amber owning fedulings.
They wanted to rob him to earn some money.
Hence, no one ordered them to follow Adrian.
He thought, ‘Since that was the case, I’ll just spare your life this time.
However, you might skip death, but you’ll still be punished for plotting against me!’
Then, he broke the four men’s limbs and left them in the small alley.
After that, he left the old town ruins under the moonlight.
Amber did not return to Lawrence Manor.
Instead, he found an inn and directly walked in.
As he learned a lot today, he needed to get into the Tower of Life to recall and comprehend what happened.
If he spent his time returning to Lawrence Manor, that would be a waste.
Nevertheless, he would be getting a steady and high income from today onward for some time.
Hence, Amber did not hesitate and directly booked the inn’s main room, which cost 300 fedulings a night.
Even an ordinary warrior could not afford such a price.
After getting into the room, Amber did not waste any time and immediately entered the Time Warp Zone and started training.
***
When he woke up just now, Amber felt his body was much different than before.
Moreover, he was more skilled with the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows when he was in the alley too.
Amber could now move fast like the wind, and even the warriors he fought just now did not notice him.
Once again, Amber used the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows.
The one-star footwork, Alkaid…
The two-star footwork, Mizar-Alcor…
The three-star footwork, Alioth…
After Alioth, Amber had the thought of trying the four-star footwork, Megrez…
In that instant, Amber seemed to be twice as fast as before.
The distance between the two moves was quickly shortened.
Amber was instantly overjoyed.
“It was just as I expected! As long as I could tamper my body to the needed requirement, I can use Megrez! When I tried it before, I couldn’t finish it every time within the specified time due to the distance it was because the distance between the two steps was much longer.
But, I can easily do it now.”
Amber stepped on the four-star footwork continuously.
Soon, his entire self appeared to turn into a phantom, constantly changing its position in the Time Warp Zone, completely unpredictable for others.
‘Megrez’s more complicated than Alioth, but its power is much more potent.’ After trying it out a few times, Amber gave it a proper thought as he rested.
‘When I was chasing after that man in the alley, I unknowingly used the four-star footwork, and it gave me a feeling as if I shortened a long distance with just a step.’
Then, Amber smiled happily.
‘That thick-lipped boy surely did not expect that I have mastered a new martial skill.
Since he treated me like a punching bag today, I’ll surely make him suffer tomorrow.
Moreover, I haven’t even drank the things I bought yet…’
Amber’s sight fell on the neatly arranged small bottles not far away from him.
Previously, he expected to spend about 6000 fedulings to purchase ten bottles of blood essence.
However, under his strong demand, each bottle essence was only bought at 550 fedulings.
Hence, it meant that Amber spent 6000 fedulings to get 11 bottles of blood essence.
Originally, even if the price was reduced, 6050 fedulings was required, but Amber naturally made some sweet words and let St.
Jade Chamber wipe out the odds.
The 11 bottles of blood essence were arranged before him, and Amber could feel the intense vigor they were emitting.‘I drank six bottles of blood essence before this, and if I finished these eleven bottles, it meant that I’ve consumed seventeen bottles,’ Amber pondered, ‘Even if St.
Jade Chamber’s blood essence’s effect is not as good as the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s, seventeen bottles should be enough to tamper my body and increase my strength.’
At that thought, Amber did not hesitate anymore and directly drank the 17 bottles of blood essence.
After that, he sat cross-legged and started meditating as he used the Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale to devour the blood essence’s vigor.
Soon, Amber felt his internal organs were rumbling as if someone dragged heavy metal plates.
He also sensed his stomach, heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were moving violently.
Each time it moved, there would be a big surge of warm energy spreading toward his limbs and brain.
That made his blood flow even more intensely.
After a while, there were cracking sounds from his bones.
‘What’s going on?’ Amber was shocked, ‘Is there a problem with the blood essence?’
Just as he had that thought, Amber felt his heart beating wildly, and each of his muscles and veins was filled with inexhaustible power.
That surge of energy expanded nonstop, just like an inflatable ball.
If Amber did not find a way to use up the power, he might explode!
