Chapter 1507


    Even so, Can was still one of the most powerful martial artists in the world.


    “Where’s Thomas?” Can asked.


    James shook his head and said, “I can’t reach him. He’s an elusive figure. You don’t know where he


    could be at this moment. Every time he leaves, I can’t find him no matter how hard I try.”


    “Hahaha!”


    At that moment, a burst ofughter boomed from outside.


    Then, the door opened.


    A man wearing a white robe walked in.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon seeing the man, James rolled his eyes and asked, “Grandpa, are you always just around me?


    How do you manage to appear every time I mention your name?”


    Thomas walked over to James and took a seat, saying smilingly, “If it wasn’t for me’ protecting you from


    the shadows, you’d have been long dead.”


    “Grandpa, you must have heard that I n to head to Malgudi.”


    Upon hearing this, Thomas’ expression turned grim. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I


    have.”


    “What’s your opinion on the matter?” James questioned.


    “Go,” Thomas uttered a single word.


    Upon hearing this, James was relieved. Now, he could finally head to Malgudi and annihte the Gu


    Sect and Lucjan Owen.


    “Grandpa, what’s your current strength?” James asked.


    He was curious to know what his grandfather’s strength was. He only knew that he had yet to ascend


    the Skyward Stairway before the Mount Thunder Conference.


    Thomas smiled and said, “I’m just a step away from reaching the ninth rank.”


    James could not help but ask, “Which Stair have you ascended?”


    Thomas nced at Can and pointed at him, saying, “I can fight against three of him, no problem at


    all. However…” He continued, “Something went wrong while I was cultivating. As the matter is currently


    unresolved, I can’t use True Energy as I please, or else it might backfire on me.”


    James was shocked by Thomas’ strength. Fighting three Can Mavericks at once? Just how strong


    was he to utter such arrogant words?


    Displeased, Can looked at Thomas and said, “Aren’t you being a little too overconfident in yourself? I


    didn’t refine the Spirit Turtle core, but I managed to gain some insights and increase my strength after


    recovering from my injuries.”


    “I know.” Thomas said nonchntly, “I know you’re already on the Third Stair and will soon reach the


    fourth. Fighting against the three of you is just a conservative estimate. Once I reach my peak


    condition, I can kill you in a single move.”


    Thomas was reassured of his strength.


    Can fell silent.


    After James recollected himself, he said, “Grandpa, I can inspect your condition.”


    Thomas waved and said, “No need. There’s no way you can heal my body. Anyway, go to Malgudi in


    peace. Can and I will be watching the situation from the shadows. If things go awry, we will intervene


    in time.”


    Hearing this, James was at ease.


    “By the way, how are you doing, Thea?”


    Thomas suddenly looked at Thea who was beside James.


    “Huh?”


    Thea was preupied with the conversation. When Thomas posed her a question out of the blue, she


    momentarily froze before recollecting herself and said, “V-Very well… I’m doing fine.”


    “I’m d to know that.”


    Thomas nodded gently and said, “Remember, no one can gain immense power in a short amount of


    time without paying a price. Cultivation requires patience and discipline.”


    Though Thea could not understand what Thomas was hinting at, she nodded slightly and said,


    Understood.”
