Chapter 16: Devouring the Golden Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Splash!

The dozen or so Booker Family disciples were in an uproar.

No matter what, this disciple was a Level-eight Battle Apprentice. Even in the Booker family, his talent was considered quite strong.

But now, with just a light punch, he was beaten to the point where he might be dead?

Trevor’s face turned ashen. At this moment, Jaidon beating up his subordinate was akin to slapping his face.

His gaze towards Jaidon was filled with ruthlessness.

“Jaidon, don’t push your limits. I’m just standing here and talking to you nicely because I think highly of you!”

Hearing this, Jaidon laughed.

‘Talking to me nicely?’

‘Your underling even wanted to slap my face. Is this what you mean by talking nicely?’

“If you were talking nicely just now, am I not talking nicely to you too?”

“This scum, it doesn’t matter if I beat him up. Anyway, he’s just one of you scums. Don’t you agree?”

Jaidon said with a faint smile. However, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

Gradually, people started to surround and watch.

Hearing Jaidon calling Trevor and the others scum, everyone was stunned.

Even though Trevor was not as strong as the Five Great Generals, his influence among the younger generation was much stronger than the Five Great Generals.

Furthermore, he was the son of the Third Elder. He was part of the clan leader’s bloodline.

Jaidon’s actions were obviously meant to offend everyone in the Booker Family.

From top to bottom, he did not miss a single one.

Trevor’s face turned green with anger. “How dare you call me scum?”

Jaidon was just a piece of trash, how dare he call him scum!

Among the younger generation of Green Valley Town, who would not give him face?

Even Aidon had tried to befriend him, and he had always been proud of it.

But now, he was being insulted?

If he could tolerate this, then it wouldn’t be like him, Trevor!

Boom!

Boundless essence energy burst forth from his body.

At the Battle Master level, one was already capable of making essence energy flow to the surface of the skin. It was extremely beneficial to a cultivator.

Although it was not as good as the Essence Energy Armor, it was definitely an insurmountable skill for a Battle Apprentice.

A weaker Battle Apprentice would find it difficult to break the defense of a Battle Master.

This was also the source of Trevor’s confidence.

Trevor wasn’t the only one. Every underling behind him began to unleash a violent aura.

Clearly, he wanted to use his power to suppress Jaidon!

A conflict was about to break out.

“As a Booker Family disciple, how can you create trouble in public?”

Suddenly, a serious and strong voice rang in everyone’s ears.

Soon, a figure appeared before Jaidon and the others with the Booker Family’s enforcement team.

The person who spoke was the Booker Family’s Enforcement Elder—Sage Booker!

He was the Second Elder of the Booker Family.

Sage looked at Jaidon thoughtfully before turning to question Trevor.

“Trevor, are you trying to turn the Booker family upside down?”

Even Trevor had no choice but to cower in front of this strict Second Elder.

After all, Sage’s authority in the Booker family was only second to the clan leader and the Great Elder.

Even his father, the Third Elder, would give in to him.

Trevor gave in without hesitation. “I wouldn’t dare.”

“After you return, copy the clan rules three times and hand it to me personally for inspection.”

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s disperse. Don’t you find it embarrassing enough?” Once Sage spoke, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts and went back home.

Sage walked up to Jaidon and sized up this young man whom the clan leader thought so highly of. He said calmly, “Jaidon, although the clan leader wants to protect you, I hope that you are a self-aware person.”

“There are some things that the Booker Family cannot shoulder.”

With that said, he left with a cold snort.

He had originally thought highly of Jaidon. However, the trouble that Jaidon had caused this time was simply too great. It was so great that the entire Booker Family would find it difficult to protect itself.

He had provoked the terrifyingly powerful King Jarold and even made enemies with the Warden family. Wasn’t this deliberately pushing the Booker family into the fire pit?

“Master…” Hearing the second elder’s words, Andrea looked at her Master worriedly. She was blaming herself inside.

Jaidon looked at the departing Second Elder and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

When he became useless, who cared about his identity as a member of the Booker family?

Why was he telling him to consider the Booker family now?

Haha, Jaidon did not care at all!

However, he would remember Trevor.

If anyone dared to touch his people, they had to bear the punishment!

After returning to his room, Jaidon immediately shut the door tightly.

“System, what was that notification just now?”

Just as Jaidon finished speaking, a prompt sounded.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for devouring the energy center and obtaining the Body Cultivation Technique—Devouring Golden Body!”

He remembered that when he was fighting Trevor’s lackey, the punch was aimed at his lower abdomen. He must have accidentally absorbed it.

Thinking of this, Jaidon couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He had only intended to teach the other party a lesson, but who would have thought that he would devour his energy center instead?

What a pitiful fellow.

However, he was not innocent.

Just thinking about the technique made Jaidon extremely excited.

In the Mystic Realm, cultivation techniques were divided into the ranks of Heaven, Earth, Magical, and Yellow.

The Booker Family’s Cultivation Technique was a Yellow-rank Medium-Grade technique while the Flame Mantra was a Yellow-rank High-Grade technique.

As for the so-called Devouring level, he had never heard of it even from his vast reading during the year he was crippled.

However, just by hearing the name, one could tell that it wasn’t anything simple.

[Devouring Golden Body: A special body cultivation technique for devouring the earth. When this technique is cultivated to a high level, the body will be able to overturn Heavenly Way]

[Rarity: 10 Stars]

[Level: Devouring]

[Description: There are nine levels in total. Each level will result in a huge transformation.]

“Holy f*ck! To think that devouring an energy center would give me something so awesome!”

A body capable of overturning the Heavenly Way?

What level was this?

If they were playing a game right now, Jaidon could easily reach a conclusion.

The Heavenly Way represented the server of the game!

If there was a game character powerful enough to destroy the game server, wouldn’t that be so cool?

At that level, a single finger could probably destroy an entire world.

Jaidon’s mind couldn’t help but sink into a trance, unable to recover for a long time.

If one were to make a comparison, it was likely that even the Flame Mantra would not be able to match it.

However, the Flame Mantra had one advantage. As long as one continuously swallowed the ‘Heavenly Flame ‘, there would be unlimited possibilities.

If he continued developing the skill, it might get stronger than ‘Devouring Golden Body’.

Speaking of which, it had been some time since he came to this world. He had never heard of anything called Heavenly flames.

But he was not discouraged. Green Valley Town was indeed too remote. It was normal for him not to know about a powerful existence like Heavenly Fire.

He opened his character interface and woke up from his beautiful thoughts.

Devouring Golden Body (Level 0, Experience points: 0/100)

Level 0 meant that after absorbing the energy center of a Level-eight Battle Apprentice, he did not even reach the minimum requirement of the first level of Devouring Golden Body.

“Looks like I have to find a way to devour more things..”
