A Man Like None Other Chapter 2158

“Skyler, Archer, aren’t you going to apologize to Mr. Chance?” Matthew asked as he looked at his two young disciples. Upon hearing that, a red-faced Skyler hastily went up to Jared. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Chance. I misunderstood you earlier…”

“Don’t worry about it, Ms. Loulland. Anyone would’ve reacted strongly under those circumstances,” Jared said smilingly. Archer, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot.

“What’s the matter with you, Archer?” Matthew chided, his brow knitted into a frown. Alas, the young man gritted his teeth and ran away, still refusing to apologize. “Gosh. This child has too much pride…”

Matthew muttered with a sigh. “Please don’t mind him, Jared. It’s my fault for having spoiled my disciples.” Jared curled his lips into a smile. “Not at all!”

“Skyler, gather some people and clean this place up. I’m going to have a chat with Jared…” Matthew instructed, prompting Skyler to give a quick nod of acknowledgment. With that, he led Jared to another room.

In all honesty, Matthew had many questions for Jared. He couldn’t understand how the latter had mastered alchemy at such a young age or how he could take on a Martial Arts God despite only being a Martial Arts Saint.

After pouring Jared a cup of coffee, Matthew was about to express his queries when the young man spoke up. “Mr. Campbell, can I ask you something?” Matthew nodded eagerly. “Of course, Jared. Go ahead!”

“Are you aware of the Spring of Regeneration, Mr. Campbell?” For a moment, Matthew was taken aback. “How do you know about the Spring of Regeneration? More importantly, why are you looking for it?”

Jared hurriedly explained his situation, stating that he only wanted to use the Spring of Regeneration to save someone. “The Spring of Regeneration is a secret kept by us hidden sects. Not many people outside the hidden realm will know about it,” Matthew replied. “It does have the power to regenerate bodies, but unfortunately, not everyone can harness that.”

Needless to say, Jared was boiling over with excitement. “Where is the Spring of Regeneration, then? Can you take me there, Mr. Campbell?”

“Calm down, Jared. The Spring of Regeneration is at the foot of Kazillion Mountains, which also happens to be the meeting point for all sects of the hidden realm. Because of that, the spring is jointly managed by the nine powerful sects. This year, it’s Alchemical Sect’s turn to use and manage it. Luminous Sect will only get to use the spring next year, so if you want to save your friend now, you’d have to get permission from Alchemical Sect. “In that case, where can I find Alchemical Sect? I’ll look for them…” Jared piped up..

“Stay here for a day first, Jared,” Matthew urged. “I’ll go with you to look for Alchemical Sect tomorrow. I can also use the chance to ask why they failed to detect the soul remnant. in my body… Alchemical Sect has been asking for a ton of resources from Luminous Sect over the years, yet their amp pill has only been able to suppress the evil energy in my body! If it weren’t for your help, who knows how much. longer Alchemical Sect would demand. resources from us?”

Seeing how angry Matthew was, Jared tried to calm him down. “Failing to detect soul remnants is normal. Even I didn’t realize you were plagued by one at the beginning. However, it’s odd that the amp pill created by Alchemical Sect can suppress it… Once a soul remnant enters the body, you’d have to find a way to force it out. It’s unlikely that you can use pills to counter its effect. Honestly, not even I can cultivate a pill to rein in a soul remnant.”

As much as I hate to say it, there’s something fishy about Alchemical Sect. The fact that their amp pill can suppress a soul remnant is too good to be a coincidence! For all I know, the soul remnant may somehow be connected to Alchemical Sect, and the latter’s using the opportunity to demand resources from Luminous Sect!

“We shall find out when we visit Alchemical Sect tomorrow. Please have a good rest, Jared!” Matthew said before leaving Luminous Sect. Alas, no one knew where he was headed to….
