Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1328

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Devouring the Life Aura_1 Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Devouring the Life Aura_1 Hearing Philbert Duncan's name, Ava was also somewhat surprised.

“The Philbert Duncan from the Cloud Sect?” Ava tentatively asked.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Yes, it's him.”

“I know him, but we're not too close.” Ava said.

Virgil, standing beside her, sneered, “What's so great about Philbert Duncan? If it hadn't been for my Miss's health problem back then, she would have been the Number One Genius of the Southern Province!”

“Virgil, don't spout nonsense!” Ava scolded.

Ethan Smith remained silent, but he thought there might be some truth in what Virgil said.

Philbert Duncan's realm was merely at the Initial stage of the mighty realm cultivator realm. Although his strength was not weaker than the Middle stage of mighty realm cultivator, it was still only limited to ordinary cultivators at that stage.

If he were to be compared to other geniuses, Philbert Duncan would be worthless.

“Do you know Philbert Duncan, Mr. Smith?” Ava asked.

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment, and in the end, he thought it was better not to tell her.

After all, the Cloud Sect's power was immense, and not something ordinary people could afford to provoke.

“Miss Ava, let's go back quickly!” Virgil said somewhat anxiously.

“Don't worry, I'd also like to witness Mr. Smith's realm firsthand.” Ava smiled.

Ethan Smith sighed and said with bitterness, “I'm afraid I'll disappoint you.”

“Oh? Why?” Ava asked with a hint of surprise.

Ethan Smith waved his hand, not knowing how to explain.

He picked up the Life Aura and sat on the bed.

Ava and Virgil stood silently on the side.

“This Ethan Smith is terrifying even without spiritual power. If he recovers, I'm afraid he'll become quite a formidable cultivator.” Virgil whispered.

Ava nodded slightly and said, “That's true. I'm actually looking forward to it.”

Afterward, they stopped chatting and quietly watched Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith began to absorb the Life Aura inside the jar.

Bits of Life Aura flowed into his body through his pores.

The greenish aura followed his meridians and flowed throughout his body.

Ethan Smith's eyes were slightly closed, trying to feel the changes in his body.

But with the loss of Life Aura, there was still no trace of spiritual power in Ethan's body.

“How could this be…” Ethan Smith suddenly opened his eyes, showing a hint of despair on his face.

This was already the second time he had devoured Life Aura, and what saddened him was that his spiritual power still hadn't returned.

“Mr. Smith, how do you feel?” Ava hurriedly approached him.

“Strange, it seems that he still has no trace of spiritual power…” Virgil, standing to the side, said in surprise.

Ethan Smith slowly stood up from the bed.

His face was extremely ugly, and his whole person was extremely gloomy.

“Mr. Smith, what… what happened?” Ava asked softly.

Ethan Smith took a deep breath.

He forcibly suppressed the pain in his heart and sighed, “There's still no spiritual power in my body, and I don't feel any change.”

“Ah? How could this be?” Ava covered her mouth, exclaiming in surprise.

Virgil muttered quietly, “Could it be that you were never affected by the Twilight Qi at all? Instead, you simply can't cultivate? According to what I know, there are many people in the Holy Region with physical constitutions that surpass Demonic Beasts, but they can't cultivate.”

“Virgil, don't talk nonsense!” Ava scolded.

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment and then shook his head, “I don't know, actually before this, I had already devoured Life Aura once and had no spiritual power in my body.”

“How could this be…” Ava frowned her brow deeply.

Having grown up in the Holy Region, she had never heard of such a situation.

Ethan Smith sighed, his eyes filled with pain.

After so much effort, this was the result in the end.

Could it be true what Mr. Snider had said, that he really couldn't cultivate anymore?

“Mr. Smith, it seems that there's much less white hair on your head now.”

It was at this moment that Ava suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith's eyes lit up.

He quickly ran to the mirror and examined it closely.

Sure enough, there was much less white hair on his head!

“It doesn't seem to be of much use though.” Virgil muttered quietly.

Ava reproachfully said, “Virgil, what nonsense are you talking about? At least it shows that Life Aura is effective for Mr. Smith. The failure to recover spiritual power could be due to the insufficiency of Life Aura – not enough to restore the spiritual power.”

Ethan Smith sighed, “I hope so.”

As he spoke, Ethan Smith noticed something unusual.

The barely visible cross-shaped mark on his forehead was slowly changing!

Ethan Smith stared at his forehead intently, his face filled with disbelief!

He saw the shape of the cross slowly turn into the character “Jiu “!

“What… what's happening?” Ethan Smith rubbed his forehead hard, but felt nothing.

“Mr. Smith, what's wrong?” Ava asked.

Ethan Smith had no time to pay attention to Ava. He stared fixedly at his forehead, various thoughts flashing through his head.

“Jiu … which means, what I mistakenly thought was a cross before, was actually the number ten?” Ethan Smith exclaimed.

This number had appeared the first time he devoured Life Aura, and now, after devouring it a second time, it had changed from ten to nine.

“I understand.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath, his eyes flickering with excitement.

In other words, he would have to devour Life Aura eleven times in total before the mark on his forehead would disappear.

At that time, his vanished spiritual power would surely return!

“I get it! I get it!” Ethan Smith was overcome with excitement!

Although his spiritual power had not recovered, this at least gave him a glimmer of hope.

“That means I need to devour Life Aura nine more times.” Ethan Smith murmured.

Thinking of this, Ethan Smith hurriedly looked at Ava, cupped his hands and said, “Miss Ava, if you know where Life Aura can be found, please be sure to let me know!”

Ava thought for a while and said, “Now that my spiritual power has been restored, I will surely gain more attention from my Family. At that time, I'll try to ask someone for information.”

Ethan Smith nodded, “Thank you, Miss Ava.”

“Don't mention it, Mr. Smith. If it weren't for you, I would never have recovered.” Ava smiled.

Ethan Smith didn't say more. No matter what means, he had to gather enough Life Aura as soon as possible.

There might still be some in that mountain range, but Ethan Smith didn't want to take that risk again.

While traversing the mountain range, he had clearly felt a sense of dread. This was not a good sign.

“Huh?”

At that moment, Ethan Smith suddenly thought of something.

After devouring Life Aura for the first time, a part of his chest had turned dark gold and that piece of flesh had become even more powerful.

Now that he had devoured it for the second time, there should be changes to his body!

With this thought, Ethan Smith didn't care about Ava and the others, and immediately tore off his clothes, stripping himself naked.
