Chapter 361 A Shard of Hope
It was so faint.
So fragile.
Yet somehow, it refused to go out.
No one in the room could look at that shard and remain unmoved.
They had found it.
Then…
could Admiral Harper Sloane’s psychic sea core be rebuilt?
Julian had said one piece was missing. That should have meant the other powderlike fragments were already gathered.
Right?
Under a room full of desperate eyes, Julian stared at the tiny shard for several seconds.
Then he stabbed their hope clean through.
Finished
“Tsk. Her core was so big, and this is the only usable piece left? Even if I put it back in her psychic sea, it probably will not do much.”
Everyone: “…”
So when you said one piece was missing, you did not mean finding it would make Admiral Sloane whole again?
You were just counting?
Tears froze halfway down people’s faces.
Their expressions rose, fell, twisted, and finally broke into something impossible to describe.
Really.
Please.
Could this rogue cultivator at least kill them cleanly?
Perhaps their collapse was too obvious. Julian actually gave a proper explanation this time.
“Powder is powder. Pinching it together will not make it a core that can run an entire psychic sea again. Do you honestly think a powder cake or a powder ball can serve as a psychic sea core?”
Ari Snow lowered his head.
Until this moment, he had held himself together.

He had remained calm.
He had chased every last thread of hope.
Now that thread snapped.
Tears fell silently.
So there was no saving her.
Harper Sloane…
you really are useless.
Anya Bell suddenly spoke, serious and careful.
“Julian, what about the method you used on the giant mammoth? Could we help Admiral Sloane advance and let her psychic sea core regenerate through the breakthrough?”
As the only Omega who had watched Julian treat Laurie Rick, she was doing her best to offer a path.
Julian shook his head.
“No.”
His gaze still rested on the dark-violet shard.
“The big mammoth was only S-rank. Orion suppressing him was as easy as drinking water. Admiral Sloane is 3S. If we force a breakthrough, forget saving her. We would be lucky if Orion did not get dragged down
with her.”
“Julian, I…”
“You do not want to!”
Julian whipped around.
His catlike eyes glared fiercely at Orion, as if he might puff up and refuse all coaxing at any second.
Orion looked helpless.
“Julian, I was not offering myself. I only wanted to say that 3S power and S-rank power are fundamentally different. You are only S-rank. Saving Aunt Harper through a breakthrough is not a good plan.”
The risk was too great.
Julian did not want him taking that risk.
They had already been shocked once by the idea that Julian could upgrade the giant mammoth’s psychic
sca
But as Julian had said, Harper was far from 4S. Using a breakthrough to rebuild her psychic sea was fantasy.
They also knew they could not place too much pressure on an Omega kid, so no one spoke.

Chapter 361 A Shard of Hope
No one dared push him.
But what had he just said?
Ari lifted his head sharply.
“Julian, do you mean her psychic sea cannot advance, but the core itself might regenerate?”
Tears still shone in his eyes.
They looked like broken starlight.
“More or less.”
Julian tilted his head.
Finished
“The problem is that the remaining shard is too small. Ordinary soul mending and nurturing definitely will not work. So here is the question. Does Admiral Sloane still have family?”
Everyone: “?”
Family?
How did the topic jump there?
Celia Snow rushed forward.
“Yes! My brother and I are Admiral Sloane’s family. Everyone here is too!”
Behind her, Sixth Legion Alpha officers nodded like mad, all trying to say they counted.
