The golden light swirled around Ethan Smith’s fist.
A terrifying aura seemed to confront the Forbidden Power within the gates at that very moment.
Subsequently, Ethan Smith roared furiously, smashing his golden fist towards the door!
“Boom!”
An enormous sound erupted at that moment!
The tremendous force caused the gate to tremble slightly.
Outside the gate, a barrier quickly formed.
Looking at the barrier, Ethan Smith muttered, “This barrier seems somewhat similar to the one Atticus Kane had.”
Then, Ethan Smith clenched his fist once more and slammed it viciously.
The barrier reappeared, stopping Ethan Smith’s fist.
Ethan Smith snorted coldly and immediately raised the Venerable Fifth Mountain above his head.
With the magical artifact’s support, Ethan Smith’s power clearly entered another level.
At this moment, terrifying fist shadows caused rumbling explosions.
“Let me see just how sturdy this door is!” Ethan Smith snorted coldly and then smashed his fist ruthlessly!
“Boom!”
At this moment, the door began to waver! The barrier surrounding it showed cracks!
Ethan Smith remained silent, gripping his fists!
One punch, two punches, three punches!
The huge rumbling sounds shook the valley, causing the frightened birds and animals to cry out in alarm.
Finally, when Ethan Smith struck the fifth punch, the barrier shattered!
The gate was finally left unprotected.
“It seems that this Forbidden Power is not that great after all.” Ethan Smith muttered.
He reached out his hand, slowly pushing the gate open.
The moment the door opened, a trace of qi rippled in!
This qi was different from herbs, as if it were more pure.
It seemed as if… all the qi was locked by this Hydrating Tower!
A trace of astonishment flashed in Ethan Smith’s eyes, quickly followed by wild joy!
“Such qi! I’ve never seen it before!” Ethan Smith exclaimed!
Simply relying on this qi was enough to greatly enhance Ethan Smith’s strength!
But Ethan Smith clearly understood that qi was most likely not the only secret in the Hydrating Tower.
Because with just qi alone, people like Atticus Kane could never reach the Peak Form of Grandmaster Realm.
“Does this place have any secret treasures similar to Enlightenment Tea?” Ethan Smith looked around and pondered in his heart.
There were a total of five floors in the Hydrating Tower, each extremely spacious.
As Ethan Smith ascended, the qi became thicker.
When Ethan Smith reached the fifth floor, the dense qi was almost suffocating!
“There must be something wrong with this tower!” Ethan Smith exclaimed excitedly.
The qi inside the tower was clearly so thick, yet not a trace of qi could be felt around the tower.
The only explanation was that the tower had employed a spirit-locking array to ensure that qi would not leak.
As for where this qi came from, Ethan Smith had no clue.
Walking on the fifth floor of the Hydrating Tower, Ethan Smith did not find any treasures.
Just as Ethan Smith was extremely frustrated, he suddenly noticed his realm had slowly improved unconsciously.
“Huh?” A trace of surprise flashed upon Ethan Smith’s face.
Could it be… the effect of this tower was similar to Enlightenment Tea, allowing one to improve their realm within a short period?
If that were the case, wouldn’t his future path of cultivation become smooth sailing?
“Is there really such a treasure in the world?” Ethan Smith was incredibly excited!
He hastily sat down cross-legged, trying to absorb the qi surrounding him.Endless spiritual qi surged into Ethan Smith’s body.
With the help of the cultivation method he had obtained from the stairway to heaven, Ethan reached the third layer of the Enlightenment Stage within just one day!
This made him a Grandmaster of the Third Rank!
Such rapid progress was truly jaw-dropping!
“This is like a large Enlightenment Tea!” exclaimed Ethan Smith.
Although the effect wasn’t as simple and blunt as the Enlightenment Tea, it could be used by multiple people!
Wouldn’t it be easy to establish a sect if they could utilize this Hydrating Tower?!
Ethan tried to discover the secrets of the Hydrating Tower, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find any clues even after searching the entire tower.
“It seems that it might be impossible to take this tower away,” thought Dr. Smith in disappointment.
However, greed began to brew in Ethan’s heart.
“Since I can’t take it away, I might as well make it my own,” Ethan said with a sly smile.
Afterwards, Ethan wasted no more time, sitting on the ground and attempting to enter closed-door cultivation.
After all, Dudley Lynch might come knocking anytime now.
Ethan’s qi slowly circulated in the Hydrating Tower, along with the cultivation method he had acquired from the stairway to heaven.
Meanwhile, tensions were increasing in Chuzzle.
Dudley Lynch’s challenge had spread throughout the martial arts world.
As the center of the storm, Chuzzle naturally attracted attention.
Chuzzle’s officials were quite pleased as the number of tourists visiting the city skyrocketed, thanks to Dudley Lynch.
In just a few days, countless people had arrived in Chuzzle Provincial City, waiting to witness this legendary battle.
Three days later.
Dudley Lynch finally arrived in Chuzzle.
New of his arrival soon spread.
“Dudley Lynch has arrived in Chuzzle!”
“If I’m not mistaken, he should go straight to find Ethan Smith!”
“There’s been no word from Ethan Smith. He wouldn’t have run away beforehand, would he?”
As people had guessed, Dudley headed straight to Ethan’s residence after arriving in Chuzzle.
Unfortunately, Ethan wasn’t there.
Dudley wasn’t in a hurry, and immediately sent a message:
“Ethan Smith, I’m giving you three days. If you don’t show up, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
After this message was sent, there was still no news from Ethan’s side.
Time passed by, and soon it was the second day.
However, Ethan seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
Dudley’s eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered, “If Ethan doesn’t show up, am I supposed to stay here in Chuzzle forever?”
“You could try targeting the people around Ethan… and put out the word that if he doesn’t show up by the agreed time, you’ll target them instead.”
“If he doesn’t appear for a day, kill one person,” a hoarse voice resounded in Dudley’s mind.
“You think I haven’t thought of that? Now is an era of law. If I openly threaten murder, do you think I’m looking to get killed?!” Dudley snapped.
Unlike ordinary martial artists, Dudley had great ambitions.
He not only wanted to become the number one in the central plains but also wanted to make the Lynch family the number one family! He even aspired to attain a status on par with the aristocratic families of the Capital City!
Thus, he would not resort to the behavior of a desperate fugitive.
However, just at that moment, Dudley’s phone rang.
After picking up the call, a dignified voice came through from the other end.
“Are you Dudley Lynch?” the other party said coldly.
Dudley’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and he faintly replied, “Who are you?”
“Reilly Blair from the Hernandez Family of the Capital City,” the other party said coldly.
