Chapter 11

And William Carter had gained enormous benefits out of thin air, originally thinking he would have to pay a huge price. But Samuel Bennett actually didn’t set any conditions at all, just left like that, which made him both shocked and delighted. He was shocked because he didn’t know what trick Samuel Bennett was playing, and delighted because he didn’t have to get involved with this mysterious and unpredictable person. William Carter also knew things wouldn’t be that simple, but that was a matter for the future. Though he was happy inside, William Carter still maintained a respectful demeanor and replied, “Yes, I will definitely remember Mr. Bennett’s teachings and will not dare forget them.”

At that moment, the shrill sound of police sirens rang out from the foot of the mountain. William Carter looked in the direction of the sound and could vaguely see several police cars gathered at the base of the mountain. It was rare to see the police operate so efficiently. Unfortunately, as police in a small city, they had no idea what kind of monster they were about to face. Looking at the flashing police lights at the foot of the mountain, William Carter couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Samuel Bennett gave a cold smile toward the police cars below, said nothing more, and turned to leave in grand fashion.

Emily Foster let out a long breath beside him. No matter what, that terrifying man who seemed like a demon had finally left. Seeing William Carter lost in thought, Emily Foster smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered the police gathering at the foot of the mountain and anxiously said, “Oh no, William Carter, those police officers are in danger!”

“Ah, oh…” Startled by Emily Foster, William Carter snapped back to reality, but this matter was far beyond his abilities. Besides, he didn’t have any good feelings toward the empire’s police, so there was no way he would do anything for them. He casually retorted, “So what should I do?”

Emily Foster was very angry at William Carter’s indifferent attitude and shouted, “Be serious! Those are living, breathing people! Each of them has a family, parents, children—why won’t you try to stop a tragedy from happening?” William Carter’s face darkened. “What can I stop? You overestimate me.” Emily Foster’s bright eyes sparkled as she pleaded, “Can’t you at least try? That man is your teacher, and he values you!”

Looking into Emily Foster’s kind and innocent eyes, William Carter couldn’t help but soften and nodded, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.” As he spoke, William Carter ran down the mountain. Emily Foster hesitated for a moment, then suddenly followed, calling out, “Wait, I’ll go with you…” “No need, you coming won’t help,” William Carter shouted back, worried that Emily Foster would really follow him down the mountain. He pushed off with his feet and dashed away like a gust of wind.

Seeing she couldn’t catch up to William Carter, Emily Foster slowed down and shouted loudly, “Be careful, don’t take any risks…”

With just a little effort, William Carter felt his whole body overflowing with inexhaustible strength, and his body felt as light as a feather. With each stride, he covered five or six meters, yet there was no danger of losing control. As he sped down the mountain, it felt as if he was about to float up into the wind. The exhilaration of racing with the wind almost made William Carter cry out in joy.

But even at this speed, William Carter still couldn’t catch a glimpse of Samuel Bennett’s figure. Beishan was less than a thousand meters high, and at this pace, William Carter reached halfway down the mountain in just over a minute. From a distance, he could clearly hear the police at the foot of the mountain shouting, “Stop! Put your hands up! Don’t move…” “If you move, we’ll shoot…”

William Carter grew anxious, knowing the two sides had already come into contact. Although he seemed to have endless strength, no matter how hard he tried, he could only use a small portion of it. In his urgency, William Carter had a flash of inspiration and began to circulate the Vajra Ming King Technique he had just learned.

A familiar warm current started from the center of his brow and, in an instant, flowed throughout William Carter’s entire body. William Carter felt as if the world before his eyes suddenly changed, and the state of clarity and spiritual awareness he had experienced before returned. Naturally, William Carter took a light step and leaped more than ten meters away. At this moment, the previously invisible air suddenly became as thick as water, and under such strong resistance, when William Carter exerted force, it felt as if he was about to be pushed up and float by that resistance.

The Vajra Ming King Technique operated automatically, simultaneously adjusting every muscle’s exertion and force in his body, allowing William Carter to instantly reach the maximum speed this body could achieve. While accomplishing all this, William Carter was secretly amazed—his current speed was a full 180 miles per hour. What did that mean? It meant he was moving at 50 meters per second. If he were to compete in the Olympics now, all the long-distance and sprint athletes would be ashamed to go home and hang themselves.

William Carter didn’t know that even for someone as powerful as Samuel Bennett, the “Vajra Ming King Technique” was a supreme cultivation method that could only be encountered by chance. It was just that, in order to survive, he had taken many detours and practiced many secret arts. By the time he obtained this technique, he had already mastered earth-shattering skills. Although this “Vajra Ming King Technique” was powerful, he couldn’t start learning it from scratch. Over the years, Samuel Bennett had managed to master some of the Vajra Ming King’s powers, but ultimately lacked purity and couldn’t truly unleash its might.

This time, in order to make things perfect, he passed this supreme righteous technique on to William Carter in its entirety. However, such a marvelous and profound mental method, if William Carter had to practice it on his own, he wouldn’t be able to master even the first level in a hundred years. That’s why Samuel Bennett spared no effort, forcibly using the purest source power to push William Carter up to the first level. So when William Carter tried it out, the Vajra Ming King Technique immediately displayed its miraculous effects.
