Super Devouring Level Up - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Hank’s Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jaidon had discovered that ever since he had acquired the Devouring System, his sensitivity to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had skyrocketed.

He could sense a massive fluctuation of essence energy coming from Hank’s body. Other than the Level-two spiritual herb, it could not be anything else.

Jaidon immediately thought of snatching it.

Seeing Jaidon rush toward him, Hank was scared out of his wits and stood rooted to the ground.

He nearly peed his pants.

He was just a profligate disciple without any cultivation. Not to mention a Level-seven Battle Apprentice, even a Level-one Battle Apprentice could easily beat him.

“Don’t, don’t kill me!” Hank staggered and fell to the ground, shouting, “Kill him if you want, don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”

Hank pointed at Gage and mercilessly betrayed his own brother.

Unexpectedly, Jaidon had only taken away the Level-two spiritual herb in his arms, which made him overjoyed.

However, he unintentionally saw the face underneath the black robe. It was as if he had seen a ghost.

Jaidon!

It was Jaidon!

It was that trash, Jaidon!

Hank’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Even if he racked his brains, he would never have imagined that a piece of trash like Jaidon would be able to go against his big brother.

Wasn’t he crippled? How could this be…

“Jai…” Just as he was about to shout, he realized that his neck was being strangled by a hand.

Crack.

A crisp sound rang out across the open ground.

Hank was dead.

Shaking his head, Jaidon muttered softly, “I wanted to spare your life, but you just had to court death.”

Now was not the time to fall out with the Warden Family. Thus, he could only keep the identity of the black-robed man a secret.

He would only be safe if Hank was dead.

Gage, who had been overjoyed after obtaining the Strange Thunder Wood, could no longer maintain his composure after seeing his own brother being killed. His blood-red eyes stared at Jaidon.

“You killed Hank! I will make you accompany him to the afterlife!”

He unleashed his full strength of a Battle General. The crazed Gage launched attacks like a rainstorm on Jaidon and used all of his techniques.

However, Jaidon had already achieved his goal. He would not waste any more time with Gage. After the two of them were entangled in a battle for a while, Jaidon took advantage of the dense darkness to escape the crazed Gage.

Soon, Jaidon returned to the Booker Family.

Perhaps it was because she was too tired, Andrea had fallen asleep leaning against the chair. She was still muttering softly, “Master, don’t…”

Jaidon, who had been feeling heartache for her, suddenly felt his face darken. He really did not know what this girl was thinking.

He gently picked her up and placed her on the bed. After covering her with a blanket, he began counting his gains for that day.

A Level-two spiritual herb and several Level-one spiritual herbs.

After a busy night, Jaidon refined all the Level-one spiritual herbs into five Spirit Transformation Pills.grade

This was a High-Grade Level-one medicinal pill consumed by people with the cultivation of a Battle Apprentice. They would rise almost by a level after taking each pill.

However, no one would do that. Not only would it cause their foundation to be unstable, but more importantly, it was too expensive…

One pill was worth 100,000 gold coins. The total value was no less than that of a Level-two spiritual herb.

Even people from great clans wouldn’t waste their resources like this. After all, a Battle Apprentice wasn’t the best at combat. Even if they used the pills, it wouldn’t be able to strengthen their clan.

But for Jaidon, it was just right.

With the functions of the Devouring System, there was no need to worry about any instability.

Devouring one pill after another, Jaidon converted all the Devouring Points he had obtained into experience points. His cultivation base rose rapidly.

Awesome!

It was simply too satisfying!

It was no wonder so many people were pursuing the highest realm of martial arts. Just the feeling of being able to compete with immortals was enough to make a man unable to stop himself.

With such a large amount of Devouring Points, the ceiling instantly disintegrated like wet paper.

Boom!

The essence energy in his body surged and he made a breakthrough. Jaidon’s cultivation had also successfully reached Level-eight.

However, when the five Spirit Transformation Pills entered his stomach…

He let out a burp, but he hadn’t broken through to Level-nine.

???

“System, are you f*cking kidding me?”

System: ???

“Other Battle Apprentices can advance one level with just one Spirit Transformation Pill, but I’ve already swallowed five pills and I only broke through from Level-seven to the Mid Stage of Level-eight?”

“Did your unscrupulous system absorb the excess energy?”

“Ding! System prompt message: If you have the capability, then level up yourself.”

“Prompt: This system is absolutely honest.”

“Additional prompt: The host’s energy center is currently crippled and cannot be cultivated without the system.”

Hearing the prompt from the system, Jaidon felt powerless.

He had originally thought that this system, which had been silent all this while, was very aloof. It turned out that it was also quite playful.

Alright, the system was the boss. Jaidon also swallowed that Low-Grade Level-two spiritual herb and finally reached the peak of the Battle Apprentice level.

Just a little more and he would be able to break through to become a Level-nine Battle Apprentice.

Of course, after considering it carefully, Jaidon felt that the system was still quite conscientious. Disregarding everything else, just the fact that his foundation was so stable made the extra energy worth it.

Even so, Jaidon still felt his heart ache…

…

At the Warden residence, Shane Warden and a group of elders were gathered together.

In the middle of the crowd was a corpse. Its eyes were wide open, but its pupils were unfocused.

Gage’s eyes were bloodshot as he said in a low voice, “Hank is dead, the Warden Family cannot let the culprit get away scot-free!”

The rest of the people nodded their heads in agreement. If this matter was over just like this, how would the others view their Warden Family in the future?

As the clan leader, when Shane saw his son’s corpse, his eyes flashed with sadness, followed by intense anger.

“Find him! We must find him!”

“Since he dared to kill Hank, I will crush his bones and scatter his ashes. I will personally kill him!”

The clan leader’s furious shout reveberated through the huge Warden residence. Everyone was silent and no one dared to further agitate him.

Soon, the streets and alleys were filled with portraits of a black-robed man, as well as rumors about him.

Even though they didn’t dare to say anything, the people of Green Valley Town secretly cheered, saying that this black-robed individual was a great hero who killed the evil for the people.

As for finding him?

How could they find someone from a picture of a masked black-robed figure?

For three whole days, there was no news at all.

“A bunch of good-for-nothings, go look further!” Shane lost his temper.

“Father, don’t worry. There’s someone who has a close relationship with the black-robed man. He must know something.”

Gage’s eyes were fixated on the Violet Royal Auction House. The person was none other than the highly respected Master Fleck..
