---- Chapter 2272 Anyone who dared skip training would get no sympathy from Andrew. They had to participate no matter what. Aspen did not mind this at all since she was already used to Andrew''s training regimen back in Gabo Creek. Standing in front of the run-down cabin, Andrew performed a set of basic military- stylebat moves.
"That''s strange." Andrew finished his form and drew his hands back to his core, frowning in concentration After Aspen arrived in Chetvine and they had spent the night intimately together, something odd had happened: The third seal had not loosened, but there was definitely a subtle change. Andrew knew this feeling all too well because it was the same sensation he got whenever he tried to force his way through the third seal with his energy. In other words, his union with Aspen had somehow affected the final seal within his body.
The change was incredibly minor, almost negligible, but it was enough to make him feel like he had grasped something important. However, when Andrew tried to focus on that feeling, he could not quite capture it. The harder he tried, the more it slipped away ---- like water through his fingers. So, Andrew forced himself to rx. He remembered that when he was breaking through the second seal, his group of femalepanions had yed a crucial role. That was why he had consulted Victoria about the situation, trying to understand what was happening.
Victoria could not exin it either, but she was certain this was not some form of dual cultivation or energy absorption technique. If it were absorption, he would be forcibly draining them, leaving Aspen and the others weakened. They might even bepletely drained, their martial arts regressing, and their youth fading away. Yet, none of these terrible effects ever urred. Instead, both Andrew and his femalepanions woke up the next day feeling energized and refreshed. It seemed like their intimate fusion actually benefited both parties involved. ''This won''t do...
I have to figure this out! This might be the key to breaking through my final seal.'' Andrew clenched his fists, his resolve growing stronger. Victoria had once advised him to seek out the Eastern Wanderer. This man ranked third on the Titan List andmanded respect throughout thend. ---- The Eastern Wanderer had mastered martial arts through ancient Torasesy philosophy and was undefeated inbat across the world. Perhaps he could provide answers about what was happening in Andrew''s body. Then, Andrew might finally find the clue to breaking through the third seal.
He made his way to the inner courtyard of the Lloyd family estate and found Sheena directly. "Sheena, I need to ask you for a favor." Sheena was holding a leather whip, instructing the Lloyd family disciples in their training. Aspen and Natasha were among them, sweating profusely from the intense workout. "What is it? Just tell me," Sheena replied without making things difficult for him. Andrew got straight to the point. Andrew asked, "You know about the Eastern Wanderer, right?" Sheena''s whip paused mid-motion as she looked at him with surprise, "The Eastern Wanderer?
Why are you asking about him? Andrew''s expression grew serious. "It''s for something very important. You''re more familiar with the people on Holtrien''s Titan List than I am. Can you tell me where to find him?" ---- Sheena smirked. "Are you sure you want to find the Eastern Wanderer? You know he''s called a wanderer for a reason... His whereabouts arepletely unpredictable, and nobody knows where he is at any given time. But I do know his true identity, and he''s a very cunning old fox." Andrew smiled back at her. "Knowing his identity works too.
I can follow the trail from there." Sheena spoke directly without beating around the bush. "The Eastern Wanderer is the ancestor of the Reyes family. This immortal old bastard ranks third on the Titan List. ording to legend, the Eastern Wanderer and the female leader of the Umbral Peak Sect are siblings. "But in reality, the female demon who leads the Umbral Peak Sect is actually the Eastern Wanderer''s woman. Even many people in Chetvine''s government departments don''t know these details.
Only our family has ess to this urate information." Andrew was genuinely shocked by this revtion. Just recently, Amari had shared some intel with him about the Chetvine Grand Auction House controlled by the Reyes family. Apparently, the head manager there knew the identity of whoever had ced the seals on Andrew. Now, Sheena had confirmed that the Reyes family''s founder, as well as the man tied to the Umbral Peak Sect''s leader, was none ---- other than the Eastern Wanderer himself.<fn8fb7> Newest update provided by f?ndnovel</fn8fb7>
Which could only mean one thing: the Eastern Wanderer was deeply connected to the seals on his energy core. And here he was, already nning to seek him out. Andrew''s eyes narrowed dangerously as a chill ran through him. Behind all of this, he could smell the traces of an extraordinary conspiracy.<style>
