A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

Meanwhile, Bernard went straight to check on how Jared's tempering of his physical body upon returning to the imperial city with Cedric.

At that moment, he had a rather grim look on his face.

"Father, why do those three people want to kill Mr. Chance? Could it be that Mr. Chance has some sort of connection with the hidden forces?" Cedric asked in great puzzlement.

Bernard shook his head, replying, "I'm not sure either. But no matter what, we must hold out until Mr. Chance has finished tempering his physical body. During this time, we absolutely cannot allow anyone to come near this place even if it costs us the whole of Allardland!"

"Understood. I'll mobilize the troops to secure this area thoroughly right away!"

Cedric gave a nod.

But at that very moment, several powerful auras materialized near Allardland. Bernard's brows furrowed.

"Experts are approaching Allardland again. Could it be those three men again?" Cedric wondered.

"No, the auras are different," Bernard stated.

“What on earth is going on? Why have so many experts suddenly come to Allardland? Are they all here for Mr. Chance?"

Cedric's face was a mask of perplexity.

Bernard and Cedric were both unaware of the Decree of Execution Tenth the Hall issued on Jared. Thus, the sudden appearance of numerous experts left them utterly bewildered.

"All of them are here for Jared."

At just that moment, Octavion made his way over leisurely.

"How do you know that?" asked Cedric.

"Because the Tenth Hall issued a Decree of Execution on Jared for a hundred thousand celestial crystals. So, these people are here to execute it," Octavion replied casually.

"A hundred thousand celestial crystals?"

Bernard was taken aback, never having anticipated the Tenth Hall to be so generous.

"Given that they're here for Mr. Chance, why didn't they make a move? If those three cultivators earlier had done so, even all of Allardland might not have been able to stop them," Cedric asked, baffled.

Bernard cast a glance at the sky before speculating thoughtfully, "Perhaps they had their reservations. Since Mr. Sanders has boosted the prosperity of Allardland for

thousands of years, it means Allard and can remain standing for millenniums more. If they were to make a move within Allardland, they would certainly have their reservations. They're all intelligent individuals, so they must have done their research long ago."

"You're right, Father. With Mr. Sanders backing us up, no one would dare make a move in Allardland, I bet those three men asked to meet Mr. Chance to lure him out of here before striking. We simply need to ensure that Mr. Chance doesn't leave," Cedric declared.

"Yes! We just need to keep Mr. Chance within the boundaries of Allardland." Bernard nodded in agreement.

"Do you both think Jared would stay in Allardland?"

After Octavion had said that, he turned around and left.

Although he had just recently made Jared's acquaintance, he understood the latter's character completely.

Bernard and Cedric fell silent, somewhat at a loss as they looked at Jared, who was still undergoing lightning tribulation.

Rumble!

Just then, a thunderous boom echoed suddenly. Terrifying bolts of lightning headed right for Jared like mad.

Octavion who had initially left also stopped in his tracks right then. He turned and looked at Jared, who was in mid-air.

Brilliant streaks of golden light radiated off the latter's body.

Even his skin had taken on a golden hue.

"He's done so quickly?" Octavion exclaimed in surprise.

The Divine Body-Refining Scroll was a secret technique of the celestials. They all cultivated it as well, some even for hundreds and thousands of years.

Octavion himself had been cultivating it for countless years, but he had never seen anyone making progress as rapidly as Jared.

The celestials had always considered themselves to be exceptionally talented. Even so, not a single cultivator among them was able to cultivate Divine Body- Refining Scroll that quickly.

The golden light radiating off Jared

became increasingly blinding. It wasn't due to the activation of Golem Body. Instead, his physical body alone was capable of emitting it. That was something unheard of.

"Mr. Chance is truly extraordinary!"

At that moment, Bernard's eyes sparkled, his face etched with admiration. Jared's growing strength denoted the increasing might of Allardland. Right then, Bernard felt extremely fortunate to have made Jared's acquaintance, bringing about a great opportunity to Allardland.
