Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1884

Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884: The Day of Heaven's Mandate_1 Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884: The Day of Heaven's Mandate_1 Almost everyone around was cheering, except for Ethan Smith who was sighing time and time again.

“Ethan, I didn't expect you to really win first place.” The peak master walked over and patted Ethan's shoulder.

Ethan forced a smile and said, “If Kian Wilson hadn't held back, how could I possibly have won first place?”

“You can't say that. Kian has always been like this, but he is still number one.” Ninth Cloud said indifferently.

Ethan just nodded without saying much, but he didn't feel comfortable about it.

Kian Wilson was far more benevolent than Ethan had imagined. Perhaps just as he himself said, he just couldn't get past his mental barrier.

The competition was over. Ethan got first place and was granted a wish.

Ethan chose Demon-slaying Peak's points because he owed too many points.

After distributing points to everyone, the competition could finally be considered over.

“Ethan, congratulations!” Ava Brown approached and exclaimed happily.

Ethan could only grin and say, “It was just luck.”

“Ah, you're still so modest.” Ava rolled her eyes.

“Next time when we compete, I'll definitely surpass you.”

Ethan nodded and said, “Then you should practice hard.”

Ava seemed to see that Ethan wasn't in a good mood so she didn't linger for too long. She just mentioned that they would gather at Demon-slaying Peak in the future and walked away.

The people of Demon-slaying Peak planned to head back as well.

Ethan thought for a moment before deciding not to go with them. Instead, he chose to stay at the first main peak.

There was no other reason, it was just because Ethan wanted to have a talk with Kian Wilson.

After leaving the Mystic Realm, Ethan had made inquiries from various sources and finally found Kian Wilson's cave abode.

In the cave abode, Kian Wilson sat cross-legged, recovering his body.

Ethan's arrival didn't surprise Kian Wilson.

He glanced at Ethan and said coldly, “If you're here to thank me, don't bother.”

Ethan shook his head, sat opposite Kian Wilson and asked, “You said I'm not as good as Daniel Wilson. What do you mean by that?”

Kian Wilson sneered, “Inferior is just inferior. There's no need for so many reasons.”

Ethan furrowed his brows and said, “I still don't understand.”

“Then you don't need to.” Kian Wilson's attitude was extremely cold.

Ethan thought for a moment before saying, “I know you're a proud person who hates to admit defeat. I have the same mindset. I, too, possess a chaotic body like Daniel Wilson, and I naturally don't want to admit that I'm inferior to him.”

“But unfortunately, I don't know Daniel Wilson well, so I'm not convinced by what you said.”

After hearing Ethan's words, Kian Wilson's eyes narrowed slightly.

He sized up Ethan and said, “You are indeed strong enough, but you rely too much on your special physique.”

“Although I lost to you this time, the outcome might not be the same next time.”

“But if I were to face Daniel Wilson, I would never believe that I could win.”

Ethan was stunned but quickly understood Kian Wilson's meaning.

Just as Kian Wilson had said, Ethan relied too much on the strength and dominance of his body. If there were truly any techniques that could restrain Ethan's physical strength, then he might be waiting for death.

“Thank you.” Ethan stood up and said.

Kian Wilson didn't say anything further and just closed his eyes.

At this moment, Kian Wilson naturally couldn't imagine Ethan's intentions nor the fact that Ethan would eventually face Daniel Wilson.

After leaving Kian Wilson's cave abode, Ethan returned to the first main peak, intending to meet with Dean Garner.

Dean Garner seemed to have anticipated this and had already sent people to wait for him.

Ethan followed the two of them to Dean Garner's residence.

“Dean Garner, Ethan Smith is here,” The two said respectfully, bowing.

“Come in.” Dean Garner's leisurely voice soon came from inside.

Ethan didn't waste any time and strode in.

Inside the room, Dean Garner was flipping through a book.

“Greetings, Dean Garner.” Ethan said with a bow.

Dean Garner put down the book in his hand, stroked his beard and chuckled, “You don't look happy.”

Ethan forced a bitter smile and said, “My victory was dishonorable. So naturally, I'm not happy.”

“Hahaha!” Dean Garner couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Kian Wilson thinks the same way. If he had won by relying on the pressure of his realm, he would have felt the same way.” Dean Garner shook his head.

Ethan sighed, “Yeah, that's why I understand him.”

At this point, Ethan changed the subject, “Dean, I came to see you to say goodbye.”

“Goodbye?” Dean Garner was surprised.

“As far as I know, you've been here for less than two years, right?”

Ethan nodded and said, “Indeed, not even two years.”

“So why are you in a hurry to leave? Is Thunder Academy not worth staying in?” Dean Garner asked curiously.

Ethan quickly shook his head and said, “Of course not. Thunder Academy is indeed a good place to practice, but I think it's time for me to go out and explore.”

Dean Garner was silent for a moment, looked at Ethan and asked, “Are you planning to go to the Central Province?”

“Yes,” Ethan nodded.

Dean Garner said seriously, “I suggest you wait a while before going.”

“Why?” Ethan asked, puzzled.

Dean Garner explained, “First, the rules of Thunder Academy state that one can only leave freely after practicing for three years. If you leave now, you will no longer be a member of Thunder Academy.”

“Second, you should visit the Thunder Academy library more often. It is bound to have something you need.”

After Dean Garner's reminder, Ethan suddenly thought of Kian Wilson's words.

He was silent for a moment then nodded, “Alright, I will listen to you and leave after three years.”

Dean Garner nodded slightly and then said with a hint of emotion, “You people are really strange. It seems you all long for freedom. You're like this and so is Forrest Middleton.”

Ethan smiled bitterly and for a moment didn't know what to say.

“By the way, Dean Garner, I have a question for you.” At this moment, Ethan suddenly said.

Dean Garner nodded, “Go ahead.”

“Do you know about The Day of Heaven's Mandate?” Ethan asked.

Dean Garner stroked his beard and laughed, “Of course, who in the Holy Region doesn't know about The Day of Heaven's Mandate?”

Ethan frowned, “What exactly is The Day of Heaven's Mandate?”

Dean Garner slowly stood up and walked to the window with his hands on his back, speaking faintly, “The Day of Heaven's Mandate only appears during the Golden Age. On that day, the qi and dao techniques are at their purest, and visions appear in the sky. It is said that those with great fortune will receive the baptism of the Path of Heaven on that day.”

“Baptism of the Path of Heaven?” Ethan was taken aback.

Dean Garner nodded slightly and said calmly, “Those who receive the baptism of the Path of Heaven will eventually reach the Tribulation Stage.”
