Chapter 347 You’ll Have The Answers
Shawn, unable to hold back a groan as Raven tightened her grip, was overwhelmed by humiliation and helplessness. Ever since becoming head of the Indigo Training Ground, he felt powerless and blatantly disrespected.
Overwhelmed by Raven’s aura, far stronger than his own, he took a deep breath. His voice hoarse from her grip, he strained to say, “Killing me won’t help.
“But if I live, I can rally everyone at the Indigo Training Ground to help recover his Starcard. I already know who’s responsible. Give me three days; I promise you’ll have the answers you seek.”
Raven fixed Shawn with a piercing stare, making him squirm under her intense gaze. His discomfort was palpable until Raven finally broke the silence. “Alright, but I need three drops of the Water of Life. Now. If the Indigo Training Ground doesn’t serve a purpose, there’s no reason for it to exist.”
Her words were met with stunned silence on the already quiet training ground, everyone’s eyes wide with disbelief. The world’s most powerful figures knew the truth: the Indigo Training Ground’s revered independence came from the Tree of Life, which yielded a single drop of the Water of Life every ten years.
Drinking the Water of Life could grant a longer life and significantly increase one’s martial arts abilities. Every person who drank from the Water of Life had attained power surpassing that of a Star Sovereign.
In the Indigo Training Ground, acquiring even a single drop of the Water of Life was a coveted dream, yet only a select few achieved this feat. Raven’s demand for three drops was audacious, akin to draining the training ground of its lifeblood; it
was costly.
Just as the crowd’s anger toward Raven peaked, her calm but chilling voice cut through the clamor. “What’s wrong? Can’t you do it?”
The crowd fell silent at her words. Shawn sighed, his gaze falling on a desperate–looking Zach. “There’s only one drop of the Water of Life left,” Shawn said. “Even if you kill everyone here, we can’t give you three.”
Raven frowned slightly. “Then give me that drop.”
With another sigh, Shawn brushed his fingers against the ring, conjuring a delicate, transparent vial in his palm. A single drop of crystal–clear blue liquid shimmered within.
The crowd’s eyes burned with desire the moment they saw the liquid. Raven’s gaze was drawn to its faint golden shimmer, instantly recognizing it as the Water of Life.
Raven instantly released Shawn and snatched the vial. As quickly as she moved, she was at Zach’s side, carefully pouring the Water of Life into his mouth while those on the training grounds watched with conflicted expressions.
Upon entering his body, the Water of Life swiftly unleashed its healing power, reaching every part of him. Slowly, painfully, the last vestiges of Zach’s fading life force began to return.
Relief softened Raven’s face as she felt for Zach’s pulse. He would live–at least for another ten days. The Ring of Life on her finger pulsed with a soft light, and in a blink, Zach was gone.
Shawn and the others at the Indigo Training Ground were stunned. Everyone knew the Ring of Life couldn’t store living beings, so seeing someone vanish was inconceivable. Despite their confusion, they knew better than to pry; silence hung heavy in the air.
