Maxine quickly got up and grabbed Thea’s wrist to check virtual-novel.net pulse. The moment virtual-novel.net skin made contact with Thea’s, virtual-novel.net felt a biting cold from Thea’s arm,
She endured the chill and swiftly checked Thea’s pulse.
After assessing Thea’s condition, Maxine furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and exclaimed, “What happened? How did you get so severely injured?”
Thea took a tissue out of virtual-novel.net pocket, wiped the blood from virtual-novel.net lips, and said weakly, “Simon hit me with a palm thrust when we fought. He had refined the Spirit Turtle’s core, and virtual-novel.net got significantly stronger. However, virtual-novel.net was cautious because virtual-novel.net mistook me for Thomas. That’s likely why virtual-novel.net fled the battle. If that hadn’t happened, I probably wouldn’t have made it out alive.”
Thea hurried back to the Capital after momentarily closing up virtual-novel.net injuries in the vicinity of Mount Thunder Sect because virtual-novel.net knew it was unsafe to continue staying there.
She could only recuperate in the safety of the Capital.
As virtual-novel.net journeyed back, virtual-novel.net endured the pain and pretended to be a regular tourist. However, the injuries took a toll on virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net arrived home and virtual-novel.net was no longer able to withstand the pain.
“Your injuries are grievous. You’ll need to spend a lot of time resting in order for them to get better. Otherwise, the consequences will be grave…”
Maxine pressed virtual-novel.net thumb against virtual-novel.net lip before saying, “I’ll prescribe a formula to help accelerate your healing.”
Thea gently shook virtual-novel.net head and moved virtual-novel.net hand away. “Ordinary medicine isn’t going to be effective on my injuries. Don’t worry about it. I’ll come up with a way to treat them. I’m going back to my room first.”
Thea got up and wanted to leave but was immediately overcome with vertigo the moment virtual-novel.net stood up. Waves of intense pain washed over her, and virtual-novel.net fell helplessly onto the chair.
Maxine shook virtual-novel.net head. She reached out to help Thea up and carry virtual-novel.net suitcase.
“Get the hell away from my stuff!” Thea’s attitude suddenly shifted and virtual-novel.net growled at Maxine.
Her outburst made Maxine stop in virtual-novel.net tracks as virtual-novel.net stared at Thea in astonishment.
It took a few seconds for virtual-novel.net to compose herself and reply, “I just wanted to help you carry your things.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Thea snapped back.
Then, virtual-novel.net stood up, carried virtual-novel.net suitcase, and dragged virtual-novel.net injured body into the house.
After entering the house, virtual-novel.net slammed the door shut.
Maxine touched virtual-novel.net nose pensively and muttered, “She’s got a stick up virtual-novel.net a*s this time too, huh?”
She shooed away virtual-novel.net thoughts and chose not to linger at Thea’s place any longer.
When Thea was in virtual-novel.net house, virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net suitcase and emptied its contents. Inside were virtual-novel.net clothes, mask and the Malevolent Sword. Then, virtual-novel.net hurriedly hid everything in virtual-novel.net closet. Afterward, virtual-novel.net limped into the bathroom, took off virtual-novel.net clothes, and scrutinized virtual-novel.net body in front of the mirror.
A black imprint from a palm was left on Thea’s fair chest. The flesh around the imprint had begun to show signs rot.
Thea inspected the injury on virtual-novel.net body with a grim expression.
It’s Spiritual Palm…
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net face contorted in pain.
She fell to the floor and flailed around for a while before virtual-novel.net was able to calm down.
Her chest heaved tiredly as virtual-novel.net forced herself up.
She never expected Simon to have learned such a devious martial art technique.
Spiritual Palm was a Spiritual Art technique and was considered a wicked martial art.
Thomas had taught virtual-novel.net the cultivation method for it, but James stopped virtual-novel.net from practicing it because Maxine had mentioned how evil the technique was. Afterward, James taught virtual-novel.net Heavenly Breath instead. It was a mystery how Simon, the Grand Sect Leader of Mount Thunder Sect, could have learned the Spiritual Palm.
It was a martial art technique that Thomas had acquired when virtual-novel.net was younger.
Could it be that Sir Caden also taught this martial art technique to Simon?
Or, perhaps, Sir Caden learned this martial art technique from Simon?
Thea could not understand how Thomas and Simon were related.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net was unsure of why Simon would mistake virtual-novel.net for Thomas.
Could it be because of the Malevolent Sword?
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net realized that Simon could have gone to the Snow Cavern and seen the Malevolent Sword before.
Since Simon and Thomas were together before the Mount Thunder Conference, there must be a secret link between the two people.
Thea tried piecing the puzzle together but could not fathom how the complete picture looked.
She had sustained some serious damage and poisonous Cold Energy from the Spiritual Palm was slowly dissipating throughout virtual-novel.net body. She had to expel the Cold Energy as soon as possible, or it would slowly corrode virtual-novel.net body from within.
