The celestial energy from the Heavenly Court gradually dissipated, and Henry Carter also began to feel his body no longer so heavy; instead, there was an indescribable sense of lightness.
“It's done!”
Henry Carter suddenly opened his eyes wide and let out a long breath. All the energy of heaven and earth had finally transformed into true qi, and his body instantly felt so much lighter, as if he had been carrying a mountain on his back and, all of a sudden, the mountain was gone!
“Blade Shield Iron Scroll! Endless Wild Blade!”
Henry Carter suddenly spread his arms wide, true qi spinning rapidly within him. Both arms instantly turned into layers of blade shadows, and a wild wind swept through the secret chamber. The ninety-nine strikes of the blade technique were fully unleashed, and the final strike completed the hundred-blade attack!
Bang!
His blade arm struck the wooden stake in the confinement room, a dull collision sounded, and the stake as thick as an arm snapped in half!
“Awesome!”
Henry Carter let out a long breath, calming the surging true qi, but still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Fifteen days of almost sleepless cultivation had been even more effective than a month of hard training in the past. With the help of the medicinal energy, the true qi in his body had now reached the mid-stage of the Qi Activation Realm.
At the end of the confinement room corridor, the heavy iron door creaked open, and someone walked in.
“Henry Carter, your confinement time is up. You can leave now.”
The door to the confinement room was opened, and the light from the torch hanging on the wall immediately spilled into the room.
Chapter 14: The Mighty of the Void Spring
Henry Carter nodded gently to the person who opened the door, said thank you, and walked out of the room, stretching his body. He couldn't help but feel that the confinement had ended a bit early. He had just finished absorbing all that celestial energy and hadn't had a chance to visit that so-called Heavenly Court again to see if there was anything better inside before being released.
Forget it! Henry Carter walked toward the end of the corridor, calculating in his mind that leaving the confinement room wasn't so bad. Next time before entering the Heavenly Court, he would first take a battle blade and enough pure cold spring water. If he ran into wild wolves or something again, at least he'd have a handy weapon.
How could there still be wild wolves in a place like that, which looked like ruins? And they seemed to be on the verge of becoming demon wolves! Henry Carter thought as he walked out of the passage, climbing the steps of the bunker and finally returning to the long-missed surface.
After being underground for so long, suddenly returning to the surface, the sunlight in the sky was so dazzling that Henry Carter instinctively squinted his eyes, raising his hand to block the somewhat blinding sunlight streaming down from above.
“Henry Carter!”
His vision was still a bit blurry, so he couldn't immediately see who it was, but from the arrogant, slightly provocative tone, he could tell exactly who it was.
Robert Carter! Half a month ago, in the corridor of the confinement room, his arm had been broken, and as he left, he had loudly threatened revenge!
Henry Carter gradually adjusted to the slightly glaring light, opened his eyes, and looked at Robert Carter not far away. The arm that had been broken was now fully healed, and behind him stood two other young men about his age, also sons of the Yi family.
“What's up?” Henry Carter squinted, helping his pupils adjust more quickly to the sunlight, while curiously glancing up at the sun in the sky.
That incredibly shocking scene from that day was something Henry Carter still couldn't forget.
Swallowing nine suns in one day! Ten suns merging into one!
Ten suns baked the earth, almost bringing all living things to the brink of death. Then the ten suns merged into one. Shouldn't the temperature of the ten suns have added up? Why did the sunlight from this one sun feel so comfortable, without any excessive heat?
Robert Carter looked at Henry Carter's calm reaction, more interested in the sun than in himself. The scene of his arm being broken that day replayed in his mind again. That look! Yes! That look of indifference! That look of disdain! So infuriating! When William Carter defeated my brother Edward Carter that day, it was the same look! Now this Henry Carter has the same look. These two brothers are really annoying!
“Of course I have business! Did you forget?” Robert Carter moved to block Henry Carter's path again, lightly cracking his knuckles so they made popping sounds. “That day, you ambushed me in the confinement room and broke my arm. Today, I'm here for revenge.”
“Another internal fight?”
Henry Carter frowned and shook his head repeatedly. My brother said it! Those who fight among themselves will never achieve greatness. Robert Carter's talent should be pretty good, but he's always thinking about infighting, which has distracted him from his cultivation and is probably why he still hasn't condensed his Qi Spring.
“Infighting? What infighting? You broke my arm for no reason that day. I'm just here to settle a personal grudge, nothing more. Don't make it sound like some kind of infighting.”
Robert Carter suddenly raised his voice, his face growing more agitated. He knew he absolutely couldn't admit to infighting at this moment. If he did, he would lose the moral high ground. Even if it was obviously infighting, he had to call it something else. Otherwise, if the elders heard about it, it would be hard to win their favor.
