Translator: 549690339

Ethan Smith casually handed over two cups of wine.

The three of them tasted the wine and started chatting.

“By the way, about how long will this trip take?” Ethan Smith casually asked.

Evelyn Norton laughed and said, “About half a month.”

“Half a month?”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.

He instinctively took out his phone and checked the date.

June 21st.

Only two and a half months left until September 9th.

That is to say, after getting off this cruise ship, there were only two months left.

“I hope this trip will be fruitful.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

“I heard that Mr. Smith’s dantian has been severely injured. I wonder if it’s true.” At this time, Dudley Lynch asked from the side.

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and deliberately said, “Indeed, my dantian is severely injured, which has attracted many people who want to kill me and make a name for themselves.”

Upon hearing this, Dudley Lynch sighed, “What a pity, Mr. Smith, with your extraordinary talent, has encountered such a disaster.”

From Dudley’s answer, it seemed that this kid had no intention of attacking Ethan.

“So, what is the purpose of Brother He’s trip?” Ethan Smith changed the subject and asked deliberately.

Dudley Lynch chuckled and said, “Just taking a walk on the ship, maybe I’ll bump into some good fortune and find a treasure.”

“I see, I knew Brother He couldn’t possibly be here for tourism.” Ethan Smith said lightly.

Dudley Lynch sighed and said, “Tourism? People like us don’t have the leisure for that.”

While the two were chatting, a rugged-looking man suddenly approached from not far away.

The man looked extremely large, with a burly figure.

Moreover, the aura on his body was extremely powerful.

“Who’s that guy?” Ethan Smith pointed at the burly man and asked.

Evelyn Norton said, “He is the so-called Lord Dolan, Atticus Kane.”

“Lord Dolan?” A trace of doubt flashed in Ethan Smith’s eyes.

Evelyn Norton explained, “Yes, it is said that he is the number one person in the Dolan region and stepped into the Peak Form of Grandmaster Realm many years ago.”

Dudley Lynch continued, “This guy is pretty strange. His family is a martial aristocracy with many talented people, but Atticus Kane had extremely low talent more than twenty years ago and was almost abandoned by his family.”

“Low talent?” Ethan Smith frowned slightly, signaling Dudley Lynch to continue.

Dudley Lynch said, “Yes, it is said that he had a great opportunity, and after that, Atticus Kane’s strength soared, advancing rapidly.”

“Not only that, but the entire Kane Family also rose with the tide, producing several Grandmasters within a few years.”

“As for what the opportunity was, no one knows.”

Hearing Dudley Lynch’s words, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

Several Grandmasters in just a few years?

It was indeed strange.

In this era, it takes exceptional talent to become a Grandmaster.

Several Grandmasters in such a short time, what a coveted opportunity.

“Maybe Lord Dolan has something like Enlightenment Tea in his possession?” Ethan Smith thought secretly, his eyes filled with a fiery passion.

If he could snatch this opportunity…perhaps he could break through to the Marquis level within two months!

“It seems I’ll have to take a trip to the Dolan region when I have the chance,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

“It’s really a coincidence that it seems like all of us have something in common.” At this time, Evelyn Norton suddenly said.

Ethan Smith glanced at Evelyn and asked casually, “What do you mean?”

Evelyn Norton looked at Dudley Lynch and said, “Although Brother He has high talent, he is not considered the best in the He family, right?”

Dudley Lynch nodded and said, “Indeed.””I heard that you were later pursued and nearly killed by a formidable man, enduring severe injuries. Since then, you’ve become the number one among the younger generation in the Central Plains region, right?” Evelyn Norton continued.

Upon hearing this, a hint of uneasiness flashed across Dudley Lynch’s face.

He waved his hand and said, “Ah, people say that one can only comprehend dao techniques at the brink of life and death. I only realized this was true after experiencing it.”

“Moreover… I met a good Master, who passed on his techniques to me.” Dudley laughed.

Evelyn smiled and said, “That could be considered a blessing in disguise.”

“Yeah,” Dudley continued.

“By the way, my friend is over there. I’ll go say hello.” Dudley stood up and said.

After throwing down this sentence, he turned around and left.

It was obvious that Dudley didn’t want to continue this topic.

After he left, Ethan Smith looked at Evelyn and asked, “What was the meaning behind what you just said?”

Evelyn shrugged, “Nothing much. I just noticed that you were really interested in him.”

Ethan furrowed his brows, “You said that only after he experienced a severe injury did he become the number one in the Central Plains region?”

“Yes.” Evelyn nodded.

“At first, even the pharmacist of the Medicine God Pavilion pronounced his death sentence, but unexpectedly, he came back to life after a few days.”

“Oh?” Ethan’s interest in his eyes thickened even more.

Evelyn continued, “Not only that, after he woke up, his temperament changed drastically. He went from being arrogant and domineering to being gentle and refined.”

“Now he is even chosen as the heir of the He family.”

This string of words indeed gave Ethan too much information.

Even the pharmacist of the Medicine God Pavilion pronounced his death sentence, how could he come back to life?

And his temperament changed drastically, soaring to success?

“Could it be body possession?” Ethan suddenly thought of a possibility.

Very likely!

If Dudley was possessed by someone, all of this would make sense.

“Did he ever tell you what he is going to Brightheart Island for?” Ethan asked.

Evelyn shook her head, “He didn’t say anything, just that he wanted to try his luck.”

“Trying his luck… impossible.” Ethan took a deep breath.

As they were talking, Dudley came back from not far away.

He smiled and said, “Mr. Smith, Miss Norton, I just went to the auction and thought it would be an ordinary event, but I didn’t expect to have an unexpected gain.”

“Oh?” Ethan raised his eyebrows.

Dudley turned his hand, revealing a pearl lying quietly in his palm.

This pearl didn’t seem much different from an ordinary Night-luminescent Pearl, but there were faint traces of extremely rich qi on it.

“This is… an inner core?” Ethan’s pupils shrank suddenly.

Dudley looked somewhat surprised, “Mr. Smith, you know about inner cores too?”

“Yeah, I swallowed one. I have to thank Miss Norton for that,” Ethan glanced at Evelyn as he spoke.

Hearing this, a strange look appeared on Dudley’s face.

“The inner core that Miss Norton swallowed was a Spirit Core,” Dudley said, intentionally or unintentionally.

“Spirit Core?” Ethan was clueless about this term.

Dudley nodded, “An inner core can only be used to enhance one’s cultivation, but a Spirit Core… carries the attributes of a Demonic Beast, like the Spirit Fox inner core that Miss Norton swallowed.”

As he said this, Dudley looked at Ethan and asked, “The one you swallowed, Mr. Smith, wasn’t a Spirit Core, was it?”

“Yes,” Ethan didn’t conceal anything.

Upon hearing this, Dudley’s pupils contracted, and a strange, indescribable meaning flashed through his eyes.

The look was bizarre, though it was only a fleeting glance, but it did not escape Ethan’s gaze.
