Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Jackson Harris’s Apprentice_1
Hearing these words, Jackson Harris hesitated.
That Nine Secrets technique was Jackson’s unique expertise.
Very few people in this world know this technique.
Even Capital City Martial Arts Association do not have a record of the Nine Secrets!
And the reason why Jackson could be called the best in the world was precisely because of the Nine Secrets!
“What’s the matter, not willing to?” Pavilion Master said with a smile as he poured tea for Jackson.
Jackson let out a soft sigh and said, “I originally planned to pass on the Nine Secrets after my death.”
“After death? The life and death of a human are not something you can control.” Pavilion Master shook his head.
Jackson paused and then burst into laughter, saying, “True! Alright, I’ll bet with you!”
“We have an agreement.”
At this time, Ethan Smith had already jumped off the Pavilion Master Building.
However, the man with the mustache seemed to have run off somewhere.
Ethan couldn’t help but curse: “If this bastard digs up the Lord Pavilion Master’s ancestral tomb, it would cause a big problem!”
With no other choice, Ethan had to release his divine sense to search for the man with the mustache.
At that moment, a voice came from behind Ethan.
Turning around, he saw a girl standing behind him.
She was none other than Sofia Carrillo.
There was a touch of surprise on Sofia’s face, which was hidden beneath a trace of shyness.
“Sofia?” Ethan couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
Since the last time they parted, the two hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
So, Ethan temporarily put aside his search for the mustached man and sat with Sofia in a pavilion.
Sofia poured Ethan a cup of tea and then asked, “Ethan, have you heard any news about Edward Green recently?”
Ethan shook his head and sighed, “No.”
In fact, Ethan missed that guy a little.
Edward’s scoundrel-like expression always flashed across Ethan’s mind.
“He said before he left that he would either die out there or achieve great success.” Sofia clenched her clothes.
“Now that your name is making waves, everyone has heard about your exploits, but Edward has never come back. I’m afraid…”
Ethan’s face darkened.
He looked up at Sofia and said, “Do you think something has happened to Edward?”
“I’m just worried. His talent isn’t that high, and he’s alone.” Sofia said.
“Moreover, everyone knows about his relationship with you. After your incident back then, there were many people searching for him.”
Ethan’s face became even more unsightly, and for a moment, he was restless.
For Ethan, there weren’t many important people in this world. Edward was one of them.
“Ethan, don’t worry too much. This is just my guess.” Seeing his reaction, Sofia hurriedly tried to comfort him.
Ethan couldn’t help but stand up and curse under his breath, “I should have gone looking for him sooner.”
“Even if you looked for him, you wouldn’t find him. He has made up his mind to go out and achieve something.” Sofia consoled.
“This is his own choice, maybe… maybe, this will make him happier.”
Ethan remained silent.
Right, people will choose their own path, and only the path they choose themselves is willingly accepted.
“I will find a way to find him.” Ethan said.
Sofia nodded and said, “Okay.”
After some casual conversation, Ethan learned that Sofia had been promoted to an elder of Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Her talent in alchemy was already very high, and after Ethan’s incident, the Pavilion Master personally took her under his wing, which allowed her alchemy to progress at a rapid pace.
“Ethan, let me go back with you to Green Moon Villa later.” Sofia said.
Ethan reached out to touch Sofia’s head and said, “Alright, I have the same intention.”
When Ethan faces off against the Capital City Martial Arts Association and various great families, many people will be injured.
And Sofia could play a significant role.
After parting with Sofia, Ethan followed his divine sense to look for the man with the mustache.
Soon, Ethan found the man with the mustache on the rear mountain of Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
He saw the man with the mustache already surrounded by various tools, and he was vigorously digging something.
Ethan rushed over and kicked him from behind in the buttocks, knocking him to the ground.
“What the hell are you doing!” Ethan shouted.
The mustached man climbed up from the ground and said with a glare, “I am obviously searching for treasures!”
“Don’t you dare dig up the Lord Pavilion Master’s ancestral tomb!” Ethan scolded.
The mustached man pointed at the ground and said, “This is not an ancestral tomb! It’s a long-lost battlefield! Just like the Immortal Slaying Sect!”
Hearing this, Ethan’s eyes lit up.
“Is that true?” Ethan asked, a bit excited.
The mustached man stroked his beard and mumbled, “Of course! Though, to say it’s like the Immortal Slaying Sect may be an exaggeration, there are definitely treasures.”
Ethan rolled his eyes and said, “As long as it’s not a tomb, that’s fine. If the Pavilion Master blames us for this, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Don’t worry,” the mustached man waved his hand.
Even so, Ethan was still a little worried.
Thus, he sat there and quietly watched the mustached man work, in case something unexpected happened.
A young man suddenly appeared on the rear mountain.
With steady steps, he walked slowly towards Ethan.
A hint of murderous spirit was hidden within the young man, sweeping towards Ethan.
Ethan squinted his eyes and stood up to look at him.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Ethan felt a bit unfamiliar.
“I don’t think I know you. Why do you want to kill me?” Ethan said coldly.
The young man ignored Ethan’s words, and instead said, “The whole world thinks that you, Ethan Smith, are an absolute genius. Some people even regard you as the number-one genius. But I don’t accept that.”
“So what?” Ethan challenged.
“Before you appeared, my master once said that I was the person who could change the world.” The young man continued.
“But ever since you came, he’s changed his mind.”
“Ethan, do you know that you’ve taken away the glory that should have belonged to me!”
As he spoke, the young man’s eyes turned blood red, and his aura erupted!
“Late-term Military Marquis?” Feeling the young man’s aura, Ethan’s face changed slightly.
The young man continued, “Since both of us are late-term Military Marquises, I want to see how capable you really are and see if you’re as good as my master said!”
“Who is your master?” Ethan frowned.
“You’ll know once we fight!” The young man roared, and his aura exploded!
A powerful force filled the air in an instant; the terrifying energy made the rear mountain tremble!
Ethan’s face changed again.
“This man’s strength might not be weaker than mine.” Ethan exclaimed.
