After finishing up, Ethan Carter leisurely returned home and continued his cultivation.

Chapter 8 Blind Date

The night passed uneventfully. After a night of cultivation, Ethan Carter had once again consolidated his realm.

He had practiced at this level before and had plenty of experience, but that was in his previous life. This life was different—this time, he was cultivating the "Tai Xu Origin Technique," the strongest technique deduced by many Heavenly Lords together.

Every step was fresh and new, an experience he had never had before. The power of this technique was truly astonishing. Ethan Carter could feel that, at the same realm, he was at least several times stronger than before.

It was even possible that, at the same realm, he could cultivate a tenfold or even greater difference. This wasn’t as simple as one plus one equals two—a tenfold gap would allow him to ignore numbers and easily defeat a group of experts at the same level.

In other words, if in this life he cultivated the Tai Xu Origin Technique to the Heavenly Lord realm and was besieged by those Heavenly Lords again, Ethan Carter alone could kill them all without injury.

No wonder it was called the greatest miraculous technique of all time!

However, to make the kind of rapid progress he had the night before was almost impossible. Previously, Ethan Carter had found a spiritual eye and absorbed all the spiritual energy within it to complete his own transformation.

But Ethan Carter was in no hurry. He was currently consolidating his cultivation, and it wouldn’t be long before he naturally stepped into the sixth level, so he wasn’t too anxious.

As the night passed, discussions online about various strange phenomena grew more and more intense, showing no sign of stopping.

Ethan Carter knew that all of this would only become more frequent, until it could no longer be concealed.

At a breakfast stall near the neighborhood, Ethan Carter ordered a bowl of small wontons, no longer wolfing down his food like he had the day before.

“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter!”

Ethan Carter had just sat down when someone rushed over to his side in a hurry.

A chubby boy, about sixteen or seventeen years old, still a bit baby-faced, wearing an extremely old-fashioned school uniform and carrying a backpack, plopped down in front of him. The chair creaked under his weight, as if it might collapse at any moment.

“Why aren’t you in class yet? Aren’t you afraid of being late?” Ethan Carter looked at him, a smile appearing on his face. This was the child of their longtime neighbor, David Harris, who had played with him since childhood, always tagging along like a little shadow.

Later, both families moved into this neighborhood and continued to be neighbors, and the two of them remained very close.

But for Ethan Carter, there was a sense of nostalgia—he hadn’t seen these people he was once close to for so many years.

“Who can focus on school now? Yesterday, someone at our school suddenly awakened a superpower, became incredibly strong, and was taken away by the military. It caused a huge commotion!” The chubby David Harris leaned in and whispered, “Did you hear? Early this morning, someone found a corpse by the Li River next door. The body didn’t look human at all, more like a legendary vampire. Then the military showed up and took the body away!”

Ethan Carter raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that the discovery of that corpse was only a matter of time, he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

But he didn’t care—there was no way it could be traced back to him anyway.

“Mr. Carter, everyone online is saying this might be a sign that the age of myths is returning. I told my parents, but they said I was overthinking it. I don’t believe them!” David Harris continued. “Do you think it’s possible that we could suddenly awaken superpowers overnight and become superheroes?”

“Of course, anyone could!”

Ethan Carter nodded, because he remembered that David Harris later awakened and became an Awakened, thus stepping onto the path of cultivation.

Later, after Ethan Carter rose again and set foot on the path of cultivation, when he fought against the Luo family behind Jack Morgan, David Harris stood up for him without hesitation and ultimately died to save him.

It had once caused him unbearable pain!

Now that he was back, he was determined to make up for everything.

“If you awaken, come find me. I’ll teach you how to cultivate!”

Ethan Carter patted David Harris on the shoulder and said.

“Tch, Mr. Carter, your bragging is getting more and more outlandish!”

David Harris didn’t take Ethan Carter’s words seriously at all, just thinking he was boasting.

“I’ll stop talking now, I have to get to school!”

After grabbing a few buns, several bags of milk, and a few fried dough sticks, David Harris dashed off.

“Put it on Mr. Carter’s tab!”

Ethan Carter couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. “This brat!”

After finishing his meal and paying the bill, Ethan Carter finally returned to his room to continue cultivating.

It wasn’t until noon the next day that Ethan Carter finally finished his closed-door cultivation, hailed a cab, and headed to Tianranju.

Inside private room number one at Tianranju.

Sophia Clark was sitting on a rosewood chair. Next to her was a woman dressed in a white dress, with skin fairer than snow, exquisite features, and an ethereal aura.

In the eyes of most people, Sophia Clark was considered a beauty, a goddess in many people’s dreams. But compared to the woman in front of her, she seemed to pale in comparison.
