Chapter 3714 Stand In Our Way
When Gloria heard the friendlier way Santino addressed her, she let out a sigh of relief. She was glad those magical herbs had caught his eye. Originally, she had been prepared for the worst.
If those items had failed to impress him, she would have given him God Crusher. Hence, she was very excited at the moment. “Then I shall demonstrate my skills.” Gloria bowed before using her extreme devouring technique.
Since Santino wasn’t going to be won over by lust, she would have to do it in another way. Being talented in cultivation was a pretty good shortcut for her plan.
“A devouring technique?” Santino was shocked when he saw the large energy vortex forming around Gloria. Moments later, the spiritual energy inside the entire hall was drained, creating what seemed to be a “spiritual energy vacuum.”
The instant he noticed the technique she had cultivated was the devouring technique, he swiftly released an energy shield to protect the magical herbs.
Otherwise, the spiritual energy contained within the magical herbs would have been devoured as well. “Very nice!” Santino waved his hand.
Upon stopping her technique, Gloria pretended to ask ardently, “How’s my talent, Santino?”
“The devouring technique demands a lot from one spiritual bone. Since it has a limit on how much you can absorb, if you’re not careful, your body will explode, and you’ll die. Even still, if you use magical herbs to nurture your body, you’ll be able to expand the limit of the devourer spiritual bone. It seems like you’ve yet to master the technique, Gloria. However, once you receive my teachings, you’ll be able to improve greatly. In conclusion, your talent for cultivation is pretty good. Once I’ve concluded my matters in the mundane world, I shall officially accept you into Void Sect,” he commented.
With a grateful expression, Gloria thanked, “Thank you for taking me in, Santino!”
Even though she didn’t show it on her face, she was actually quite shocked. Her lack of mastery over the devouring technique earlier was intentional on her part.
She had been worried Santino would give her trouble due to jealousy. What surprised her was that he managed to notice the intricacies of the technique. Not only that, he even outright pointed out the limitations of the technique.
“You really are impressive, Santino. Your knowledge and observational skills are leagues ahead of Grant’s and Hansel’s.” Gloria sneered in her mind. Sadly, I’ve already thought of a way to remove the limit of the devouring technique. Using Heavenly Thunder to metamorphose, I’ll be able to expand the limit continuously.
Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough spiritual ley lines around for me to absorb. So many divine ley lines—possibly even holy ley lines—will be waiting for me to devour when I enter Kenfort. When that happens, I doubt I won’t be able to stand at the peak of the world.
“While I do have the intention of taking you in, it’s mostly because you fought for the chance.” Santino paused before continuing. “With my guidance, you’ll be able to improve rapidly in the future.”
“I won’t forget your help,” Gloria uttered directly. The smile on his face became wider. It was rare for him to meet someone who could swiftly understand what he meant.
What he was trying to imply earlier was that she shouldn’t forget about him once she became successful. Even in Kenfort, only those who helped each other could last long.
It involved many aspects.
For example, if one were to accept a disciple who was exceptionally talented, it would be very helpful to the expansion of one’s sect. As a result of that, the materials for cultivation that the master would receive would increase too.
The saying that people in close proximity to a lucky person would also get lucky was proven even more true in Kenfort.
“You’re a good disciple!” Santino nodded satisfactorily.
Then he changed the topic. “I heard you lot had run into some trouble. With me around, you all can do whatever you want without worry.”
“With someone as powerful as you backing us up, we’ll definitely be able to wipe out Levi’s base in no time at all,” Gloria flattered again.
“Go and prepare!” he uttered in a deep voice. “Those who stand in our way will be cut down by the merciless blade of my sword!”
