The Decani might actually become Archdukes that night and reach the peak of their glory.
Apollyon was the most excited out of them all.
Taking revenge was his greatest desire. Now that he could finally fulfill his dream, he was all fired up and clenched his fists tightly.
Megahead asked carefully, “Mr. Williams, how can you be so sure that we'll successfully unlock our acupoints and become Archdukes tonight?”
Zeke replied, “I've already checked your strengths. All of you are only a step away from the Archduke class. Logically speaking, you should've entered it a long time ago. However, no one taught you how to unlock your acupoints, so your powers are constantly stuck at the class of an average warrior.”
“Mr. Williams, if what you said is true, those Centurions who are in the Archduke class actually know that we can't reach that class precisely because we didn't unlock our acupoints! Did they not tell us that on purpose?” asked Apollyon.
Zeke nodded. “Of course.”
B*stards!
Apollyon gritted his teeth and spat, “I gave them so much spiritual water every year and begged them to teach me. Never did I expect them to be so shameless! Hmph! After I reach the Archduke class, I'll definitely make them pay me back what I've given them.”
Zeke said, “Work hard! All of you have very strong foundations. You've been stuck within your non-corporeal limits for far too long. Once you enter the Archduke class, your powers will slowly accumulate and surpass even that of an average Archduke!”
Apollyon immediately knelt in front of Zeke. “We will remember your teachings, Mr. Williams!”
The other Decani also knelt in front of Zeke, who merely waved his hand. “Continue training. Once you've managed to unlock the acupoints, tell me.”
With that, he left the room, leaving Apollyon and the rest behind to train.
The moment Zeke exited his room, everyone outside immediately glanced at him.
They had witnessed the ten Decani walking into Zeke's room earlier.
Soon after, they heard the Decani's wails of agony before Zeke left the room.
Did something happen to the ten Decani? What did Mr. Williams do to them?
Ignoring everyone's curious gazes on him, Zeke sat underneath a huge tree, closed his eyes, and rested.
However, he was not genuinely resting. Instead, he was discussing with Ossa Dei the uses of spiritual water.
Zeke asked, “Ossa Dei, we've been here for a while already. Have you discovered the functions of spiritual water?”
Shaking his head and sighing, Ossa Dei replied, “I haven't found anything yet. I tried absorbing the spiritual water, but it didn't have much of an effect on me. It won't be of much help to you either.”
“That's strange. Why is that so-called Theos spending so much effort collecting spiritual water then?” questioned Zeke.
Ossa Dei said, “Let's interrogate him after you capture him.”
Zeke insulted Ossa Dei secretly, How useless and dumb! You can't even find out what's going on with the spiritual water, so what's the point of me having you?
Ossa Dei immediately revealed an unhappy look. “Are you scolding me? If you aren't useless or dumb, why don't you investigate it yourself?”
Zeke was stunned. “Huh? How do you know what I'm thinking?”
When Zeke had scolded Ossa Dei earlier, it had been just a passing thought in his mind. He was not intending to communicate with Ossa Dei, so logically speaking, the latter was not supposed to have heard it.
Ossa Dei panicked. “Um... Nothing! Nothing! It's just a wild guess. There's no need to overthink.”
Something's wrong!
There was no way Zeke would believe Ossa Dei's excuse. “Ossa Dei, let me ask you this. Don't you respect the Dragon Bloodline a lot? Why aren't you off looking for the Dragon Bloodline then?”
Ossa Dei exclaimed, “Nonsense! Do you think it's so easy to absorb the Dragon Bloodline? I've been waiting for the right timing all along.”
“That doesn't sound right. Waiting for the right timing? Nonsense! They are all excuses!” rebuked Zeke. “Ossa Dei, you can read my thoughts because our minds can communicate with each other, right? Could it be that you've merged into my body and become one with me? Otherwise, you can't possibly explain why you can read my thoughts!”
