Chapter 3661 Floyd Has Changed Too Much
Just moments ago, Forlevia was able to sense the change in Floyd’s mood. It almost feels as though he wanted to devour me… Just then, Bruno broke the silence. “Don’t you guys feel that Floyd’s cultivation level has been increasing like crazy recently?”
Realization dawned on everyone when they heard his words. Bruno’s right! Although he was never Floyd’s match, at the very least, he was always able to leave the fight without sustaining any life-threatening injuries. But judging from the fight earlier, Bruno was practically powerless fighting against Floyd.
Phoenix and the others also noticed that when Floyd said he could take them all on at once, the aura he released was terrifying. In fact, they couldn’t help but feel that it would be a one-sided fight where Floyd would emerge as the victor.
Floyd’s combat prowess is probably at the same level as when Xylas first came to seek trouble at the base. But how exactly did he become so powerful? It’s weird that he’s able to advance his capabilities by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time.
Phoenix asked, “Evie, how did you feel after exchanging blows with Floyd earlier?”
Forlevia mulled over it for a moment before saying, “Floyd’s cultivation level has indeed advanced rapidly, but there’s something off about his cultivation technique.”
“What’s off about it?”
“Aren’t you the one who created the cultivation technique used by Floyd?”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
Confusion spread across everyone’s faces.
Forlevia replied in a low voice, “I did indeed teach Floyd some cultivation technique, but the one he’s practicing seems to be the extreme devouring technique.”
She then added, “Of course, I’m not too sure about it since I only fought him briefly.”
Phoenix was able to zero in on something crucial in Forlevia’s words, and she asked carefully, “Evie, are you saying that Floyd’s using the same cultivation technique as Xylas?”
“I’m not sure…” Forlevia paused for a moment. “Maybe I can test him out next time.”
In truth, she was being lenient toward Floyd. Although they had only exchanged a single blow with each other earlier, the menacing aura that was released by Floyd was enough to tell Forlevia everything she needed to know.
It’s very likely that he has practiced using the extreme devouring technique. His technique is very much the same as what Xylas has shown us the first time.
“Evie, you should tell Boss about this once he’s back.”
“Since Floyd dared to strike Bruno this time, there’s no guarantee that he won’t attack Boss the next!”
“Phoenix’s right. We must keep our guard up. After all, Floyd’s really changed a lot recently.”
Phoenix and the others each gave their comments, sharing their concern over Floyd’s recent behavior.
In the past, although they would get into rather heated arguments, Floyd would have never initiated a fight.
After all, to initiate a fight would mean that things had gone to a point of no return.
In other words, everyone was just trying to keep the peace for Levi’s sake.
However, after what happened that day, it seemed that Floyd no longer cared about keeping the peace even if it was for Levi’s sake.
Forlevia nodded. “Okay. I’ll give Daddy a heads-up about this.”
Phoenix added, “Also, I’m beginning to suspect that Floyd’s the one who leaked Master Eusof’s whereabouts to Gloria. After all, even if Xylas did plan an ambush near the base, it doesn’t make sense that members of the Glorian Order would attack the base so suddenly as well. It’s too much of a coincidence. It almost feels like they already knew beforehand that we’d be heading over to offer assistance. Besides, Floyd was hiding in a very hidden spot at that time. If he hadn’t shown himself out of his own accord, we wouldn’t have been able to find him.”
Hearing that, everyone fell into deep thought. It does seem possible that things are like how Phoenix had described. Besides, the members of the Glorian Order were moving as if they were aware of our next move back then. Unless someone from the base leaked the information, it would have been impossible for them to predict our actions to a tee.
Phoenix continued in a somber tone, “Not to mention when Sonja and two others went missing near the base, Floyd was the one in charge of guarding the perimeter. It may be a coincidence if it happened once or twice, but when you add it all up, the whole thing just seems off.”
Forlevia’s expression turned grim. It seems that everyone is suspecting Floyd now.
