From MC's Perspective:
Jonathan didn't expect to hear the na again. He heard the na of Carlos before. Because the young master had ntioned it previously.
"What did he do this ti?" He asked. From Zack's look, he can tell that sothing might have happened recently.
At the sa ti, a complex glint flashes in my eyes. I don't know whether Jonathan believes or not. But I will feel better if he finds out the truth.
Then looking at him, I started to recount the recent events. Starting from our first eting to the bedrock incident. Then to our latest mission.
A few minutes later,
The atmosphere turned solemn.
Jonathan didn't doubt the words anymore. Initially, he had so doubts. But after hearing the mission about an uneven mountain canyon.
He was sure in his heart that a person nad Carlos Kent had ulterior motives.
He didn't expect soone suspicious to appear in this Academy. After figuring out the ins and outs, he turned toward Zack.
"Young master, don't worry. I will look into this matter," Jonathan promised. He can see that Zack was stressed about this matter.
Hearing that I felt a huge weight being lifted off from my shoulder. With Jonathan's assurance, I can sigh in relief.
The next mont, I recalled my current situation.
"Jonathan, is there any place here where I can cultivate lightning essence?"
"I have a duel this weekend," I asked him. Since the issue of Carlos was settled. Now I'm concerned with my cultivation.
Jonathan was surprised for a mont. Then he asked, "Don't you have purple essence left in your dantian?"
I shook my head and revealed a helpless smile in response.
Jonathan was startled. He knows his master has pinned heavy hopes on Zack. It has a lot to do with the lightning elent.
Then he probed Zack's base. Then he saw the Mid-Elite Stage Cultivation. It's not slower but for Zack's talent. The improvent should be higher.
Jonathan failed to recognize Zack's difficulty. If Zack won't have any progression, then his life would be difficult in the Inner Post.
"I think there are places here where lightning gathers. But I don't know whether it's suitable for lightning practice," Jonathan said.
"What?" A hope rekindled in my heart. Finally, there is so good news. I heard many tis from Dean Rebecca. In the end, even she can't find the correct place for .
"Where is it?"
"Can you take to that place for cultivation?" I asked.
Jonathan nodded his head before saying, "It's good. Since the duel was scheduled for the weekend. You can take this ti to cultivate well."
After getting the affirmation, I asked, "Where is the place?"
"The nearest one is the uneven mountain canyon. I heard that the highest peak on that mountain is bombarded with lightning all year around," Jonathan said casually.
"Uneven mountain canyon," I said in my heart. I had spent ti looking into the information. But I haven't found anything related to lightning.
Jonathan saw through his thoughts. It was not surprising that information is controlled here. Secrets were only available to strong and influential people.
"You can't find so information on the internet," Jonathan comnted.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on . I don't know whether I can get a breakthrough opportunity in the coming days.
It's been so ti since I have reached the Mid-Elite in lightning essence. It's ti to see so improvent in essence cultivation.
"Young master, what's your cultivation level?"Jonathan asked all of a sudden. He saw through the young master's base as usual. But he asked out casually.
He was aware that Zack has a treasure artifact to cover his strength.
"Uh?" My thoughts returned to reality. Jonathan's question made realize that there is a pendant hanging around my neck.
But it was more of a keepsake from Granny Park. "Is it hiding his senses?" "No way?" I muttered in my heart.
As far as I know, it can block the prying eyes of Elite Warriors and below. I don't think the pendant can block the powerful eyes of SS-Elite Warriors and above.
The more Jonathan acts weak in front of . I always felt that he was hiding his true strength. Otherwise, my teacher won't have him by his side.
Also, he is soone from the inner post. His true strength should be higher than the dean. I don't know why he is hiding his strength in front of .
But I don't plan on exposing him. Now I'm thinking about the cultivation spot.
"Can we leave now?"
"I want to practice as soon as possible," I asked.
Jonathan was stunned for a mont. He suspected the young master saw through him instead. Shaking his head, he decided to leave as well. Any longer he would embarrass himself with these questions.
"Alight, young master. I'll take you to that place," Jonathan said.
Hearing that I stood up and said, "As far as I know that place is located at the border. It would take a day or two to reach there."
To that, Jonathan smiled mysteriously instead of answering. Then he replied, "Exit the Viper City. I'll be waiting outside." After saying that he disappeared from the spot.
"Harumph," I snorted in dissatisfaction. Jonathan appears and disappears whenever he wants. Which shows that he is truly powerful.
Even the Special Faction Head who was said to be the strongest second to the dean. His na couldn't even scare Jonathan.
From beginning to end, Jonathan was calm. Well, I can't order him around. He is my senior. He only listens to my teacher. So I should be grateful that he is helping out.
After gaining so clarity, I walked out of the room and exited the inn.
Then I head straight towards the city wall. Compared to before, my mind was a lot more relaxed. Maybe this is the effect of having powerful backing.
A bright smile appeared on my face. Then I increased my pace a little.
anwhile,
So shopkeepers recognized the face of Zack Lockwood. Because so children of local families are admitted to the B, C & D-grade institutions of the academy.
From their children's mouths these people long since heard of the lightning warrior. Especially circulating online post images made the image of lightning even more popular.
But none of them dare to step forward to et. It's normal for students to go outside of the city for a mission. So they didn't want to disturb Zack even if they recognized the person.
A few minutes later,
I entered my data into the City wall's monitoring system. When the information was verified. A tallic door opened between the walls. It's the gateway to the outside.
Seeing that I didn't stop and walked through the opening.
When I walked out of the gate. I pick a direction filled with trees. I know Jonathan must be watching from the shadows.
So I moved in that direction. Right after I got far away from the City.
Swoosh~
I felt soone touching my shoulder. The next second, I disappeared from the spot. Before I could think I found myself traveling mid-air.
A strong wind brushes against my face.
"This?" The sudden change in the situation startled all of a sudden.
"Steady!"
The next second, I heard Jonathan's voice.
After hearing that, I cald down. Then I saw soone turn right next to . Jonathan is still touching my shoulder.
But he is moving at breakneck speed. The speed was so fast that I couldn't even catch the passing views.
"For your sake. I'm moving at a slow speed. So stabilize yourself. We will soon reach the destination," Jonathan said without turning back.
Hearing that I almost choked up. This is called slow speed. Apart from getting hit by the heavy wind, I couldn't even look outside properly.
Now I understand Jonathan is making fun of . That's why he is acting weak in front of .
Ti passed,
Before I knew it, we arrived at the desolate environnt. Jonathan has slowed down his speed. So the environnt here becos visible. The world's energy seems to have dropped as well.
Soon I saw the long stretching mountain. There are many towering peaks in it.
"Is it here?" I asked.
But I didn't see any climate change. There were no dark clouds and purple lightning as well.
"It's not here," Jonathan replied. Then we continued to fly across the long stretching mountain.
After crossing the mountain, we ca across another mountain. But this ti my eyes shone with bright light.
A mountain seems to be cleaved by a vertical sword leaving behind a narrow canyon. I don't know how deep the canyon is.
But my eyes are attracted by the towering peak. The dark clouds are gathered above this particular peak.
When we got closer to the mountain. I saw it was raining heavily down here. "What a strange place?" I mumbled under my breath.
Then Jonathan dragged toward the top of the mountain.
Thunder~
A thundering sound reverberated through the place.
A purple color of lightning flashed before my eyes. As I got closer to the place. I felt the purple essence after a long ti.
