Chapter 1874: Chapter 1874: Holy Region's Chosen One_1 Chapter 1874: Chapter 1874: Holy Region's Chosen One_1 Salena's body gradually recovered, and Ethan Smith's hanging heart finally settled down.
Having dealt with the Tenny family, it was time to consider going to the Central Province.
Of course, Ethan knew it was not yet time to leave.
He had promised the peak master and owed many people points, so naturally, he had to repay these favors before considering leaving Demon-slaying Peak.
The next day, Ethan went to the first main peak to return the Saint Weapon.
When Ethan returned to Demon-slaying Peak, the peak master coincidentally walked in.
Standing in front of Ethan, he smiled and said, “Ethan, you remember what you promised me, right?”
“Of course.” Ethan quickly got up.
The peak master smiled and said, “There are three days left, so you can start preparing.”
“So soon?” Ethan couldn't help but be surprised.
The peak master nodded and said, “Yes, don't take it lightly. All eight main peaks of the Thunder Courtyard will participate.”
“Eight main peaks?” Ethan became even more puzzled.
“Does the first main peak count too?”
The peak master nodded and said, “Of course, the first main peak is where disciples of all the elders and lecturers reside. Their strength is by far the most powerful.”
Ethan frowned.
He didn't expect people from the first main peak to participate.
As the direct disciples, their strength was naturally the most powerful among the eight main peaks.
However, Ethan was not worried. As long as they didn't step into the True Saint Realm, he wasn't afraid of anyone, not even the direct disciples of all the lecturers.
“What, starting to worry?” The peak master teased.
Ethan shook his head and said, “Of course not. So, eight people in total will participate?”
“Correct.” The peak master nodded slightly.
“Alright, I got it. If possible, please give me the list of these eight people.” Ethan said.
However, the peak master shook his head and said, “That's impossible. The competition between the eight main peaks is meant to test the abilities of the disciples. If the list is disclosed beforehand, everyone will make preparations in advance, and it would be meaningless.”
Ethan thought about it, and it did make sense.
For example, if they knew that Ethan was participating from Demon-slaying Peak, they would definitely research a technique to counter his primordial spirit. In that case, they would not be able to see his true strength.
“Alright, I understand.” Ethan nodded.
The peak master hummed, and then comforted, “You don't need to feel too much pressure either. I don't expect you to come in first, but if you can make it to the top three, I'd be satisfied.”
Ethan shook his head and said, “No, since I promised you, I'll definitely get first place.”
Seeing this, the peak master didn't say anything more and just nodded.
After the peak master left, Ethan sat down cross-legged.
He wasn't worried at all, but instead had some expectations.
Those who could come to Demon-slaying Peak were undoubtedly the chosen ones from various regions.
And those who could participate in this competition were naturally the elite of the elite.
This was the first time Ethan truly faced the chosen ones of the Holy Region, and their strength was even on par with the sons of the Central Province's aristocratic families!
“Finally, I'll be able to compete with you guys.” Ethan thought to himself.
During the following days, Ethan didn't specifically prepare for the competition but instead spent his days accompanying Salena in eating, drinking, and playing.
Frederick Cohen quickly became friends with Salena as well. Although his strength was formidable, he was still slightly inferior to Salena.
After gorging themselves for a few days, Salena's strength also improved.
One day, as Salena was eating a donkey leg, she suddenly stood up. She stared at Ethan with a surprised look, appearing quite abnormal.
Ethan frowned and asked, “What's wrong?”
Salena frowned and said, “I think I figured out how to harness that strange power.”
“Strange power?” Ethan was taken aback.
Salena nodded and said, “That purple power.”
“Purple…purple cloud pearl?!” Ethan was immediately shocked!
It was important to know that the purple cloud pearl had a significant meaning. The Taylor family once said that the purple cloud pearl was even more terrifying than Saint Weapons!
If Salena could harness the power of the purple cloud pearl, her strength would be unimaginable!
Salena stopped eating and drinking, and went to a quiet place to sit down cross-legged.
As she sat there, strands of purple light began to surround her.
The light grew more and more intense, eventually illuminating the entire cave abode!
Ethan couldn't help but be amazed.
If Salena could truly absorb the power of the purple cloud pearl, her strength would be incomparable to any realm.
Perhaps by that time, her strength would not be weaker than a Semi-Saint, or even a True Saint!
During these days, Ethan didn't dare to disturb Salena and could only secretly watch her with his desolate divine eye, fearing that something might go wrong.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Salena still showed no signs of leaving her retreat.
“It seems that having Salena participate in this competition is unlikely.” Ethan thought to himself.
At that moment, the peak master appeared in the cave abode.
As soon as he entered the cave, he noticed the strange purple light.
The light reflected the clouds in the sky purple, creating a marvelous sight.
The peak master frowned slightly and asked, “What is this?”
Ethan did not hide it and explained, “Salena is in retreat.”
The peak master said, “Oh,” and didn't ask any further, as Salena was already quite unconventional.
“We should set off.” The peak master said.
Ethan nodded, turned to Frederick Cohen, and said, “Frederick, don't come with me. Stay here and take good care of Salena.”
Although Frederick was reluctant, he still agreed.
Afterward, Ethan followed the peak master and left the cave abode.
As they left the cave, they found that many members of Demon-slaying Peak had already gathered, seemingly waiting to set off, with Ninth Cloud among them.
Ethan was surprised and asked, “Can everyone go and watch?”
“Of course, otherwise it would be too dull. This is the Thunder Courtyard's annual event, and even the heads of aristocratic families from the Central Province will participate.” The peak master said proudly.
Ethan's face changed slightly, and he tried to ask, “Will the Nine Aristocratic Familys of the Central Province… also participate?”
“Of course!” Bringing up this topic, the peak master was even more proud.
He said proudly, “The Thunder Courtyard is on par with the Nine Aristocratic Familys! Of course, they will participate in this grand event.”
Ethan secretly thought it was a bad situation.
He originally thought it was an internal competition within the Thunder Courtyard, but it turned out to be facing the entire Holy Region.
In this case, Ethan's chaotic body could no longer be concealed.
“I shouldn't have agreed to participate if I had known.” Ethan couldn't help but curse to himself.
However, the peak master looked confused and said, “Being favored by an aristocratic family is a good thing. Many people would kill to have the chance to participate.”
Ethan waved his hand and sighed, “You wouldn't understand.”
At this point, Ethan had no choice but to brace himself and face the situation.
After all, he would have to face Daniel Wilson sooner or later, so it didn't matter.
