Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 401: 401: Imminent Breakthrough_1

Ethan Smith and Clare Richardson carried out a sweep.

Unfortunately, aside from the mask, nothing else could be found in here.

What was available was the endless dark energy.

“The dark energy here is so strong, let’s just close up here,” Ethan Smith said to Clare Richardson.

Clare Richardson nodded, sitting cross-legged next to Ethan Smith and began absorbing the dark energy coming from the pit.

The endless dark energy rushed into Clare Richardson’s body.

Its speed far exceeded Ethan Smith’s.

Even due to Clare Richardson’s influence, it became somewhat difficult for Ethan Smith to absorb the dark energy.

This confirmed Ethan Smith’s thought:

There must be countless connections between Clare Richardson and that ghost-face mask!

Helpless, Ethan Smith could only let Clare Richardson retreat into the stone house to cultivate alone.

As for Ethan Smith, he sat beneath the huge pit’s bright area, slowly absorbing the dark energy from the pit.

As a chaotic body, Ethan Smith had a natural advantage.

The absorption of dark energy was incredibly smooth, accompanied by the operation of his mental technique, Ethan Smith’s speed could be considered changing day by day.

Ethan Smith was now at the Grandmaster Peak, one more step, and he would step into the realm of the Grandmasters!

“When I step into the realm of the Grandmaster, the heavenly tribulation will definitely be triggered, at that time, I am afraid it will be impossible to hide it,” Ethan Smith looked up, pondering as he looked at the people above the pit.

Of course, as long as Ethan Smith stepped into the Grandmasters Realm, he would no longer need to fear those people.

Being invincible among the same level was not just empty talk.

As time passed minute by minute, Ethan Smith eagerly absorbed the dark energy from the pit.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

And the people above were still waiting.

“Damn, it’s been so long, is this cuckolded brat dead?” Glenn Tucker couldn’t help but mutter.

Sammy Taylor glanced at Glenn Tucker and said, “Don’t rush, just wait patiently.”

Having said that, Sammy Taylor was also a little anxious in his heart.

No one knew how long they had to wait, let alone whether there were any treasures inside the pit.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

And there was still no movement inside the pit.

Glenn Tucker was getting impatient.

He leaned on the edge of the pit and shouted, “Cuckolded brat, are you dead yet?”

Ethan Smith opened his eyes and said faintly, “Even if you’re dead, I won’t be dead.”

Hearing this, Glenn Tucker’s eyes widened in anger, “Kid, do you know who you’re talking to? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!”

“Fine, come on down.” Ethan Smith sneered.

“You!” Glenn Tucker was immediately furious.

Ethan Smith continued, “Mr. Tenny did say that as long as I go up, I will be the boss of the North martial arts world! As your immediate superior, you have to endure my scolding!”

“I damn …” Glenn Tucker was almost vomiting blood with anger.

He, a dignified Peak Form of Grandmaster, was actually being scolded like this by someone in the Grandmaster Realm!

“Shut up!” Sammy Taylor said coldly.

“What the cuckolded brat said is not wrong, he is indeed your immediate superior,” Sammy Taylor said indifferently in order to appease Ethan Smith.

Although Glenn Tucker was unhappy in his heart, he still endured it with a stiff face.

“Cuckolded brat, how much longer do you need?” Sammy Taylor asked.

Ethan Smith looked up and said, “Give me another three days.”

According to Ethan Smith’s estimate, with at most three more days, he would be able to break through to the Enlightenment Stage, also known as the Grandmasters Realm.

Sammy Taylor pondered, “So, is there a Dharma Treasure in there or not?”

“Yes, of course!” Ethan Smith said.

“There’s a huge killing weapon hidden in here! It’s beyond your imagination!”

A huge killing weapon?

Sammy Taylor’s eyes lit up.

The Taylor family was currently in a phase of expansion, and a huge killing weapon was exactly what they needed!

“Alright, I’ll wait for you!” Sammy Taylor agreed happily.

Below the pit, silence enveloped the area.

But above the pit, everyone’s thoughts were stirring in anticipation.

“Mr. Tenny, I have a question.” Finally, someone couldn’t help it any longer.

Sammy Taylor glanced at him and said, “What’s the question?”

“We’re all working for the Taylor family, and we’re the first batch. Once the Taylor family truly unifies the North martial arts world, who will be the boss? Who will be the president of the martial arts association?”

With just one sentence, the thoughts hidden in everyone’s heart were dug out.

“Yes, the North has a vast land and abundant resources, and talents are constantly emerging. If a Marquis appears in the future, will his status be above or below ours?” someone else threw out an even sharper question.

Sammy Taylor’s brows furrowed slightly.

He hadn’t really thought about this question.

Although Sammy Taylor had grown up in the Taylor family since he was a child, he was only a young man in his twenties, far less experienced than Kylan Taylor.

In terms of employing people, he was also far behind.

So, Sammy Taylor was stumped by this question.

“At that time…you guys should be equals,” said Sammy Taylor.

“Equals? Mr. Tenny, there is competition wherever there are people, even brothers would fight over positions, let alone outsiders, right?” someone said with a seemingly mocking smile.

This remark was clearly a satire of the Taylor family’s current situation.

Sammy Taylor was not a fool, and of course, he heard the hidden meaning in it.

“Are you mocking our Taylor family?” Sammy Taylor narrowed his eyes and said.

The other party’s face changed slightly, and they quickly changed their words, “Mr. Tenny, I have absolutely no such intention!”

Sammy Taylor coldly said, “Don’t think that just because the Taylor family needs you, you can act recklessly; to the Taylor family, you are nothing!”

As soon as this comment came out, the scene became much quieter.

“Mr. Tenny is right.” They all nodded in agreement.

But deep down, they were somewhat unhappy.

No matter what, they were all heroes who ruled over a region, and being treated like this, how could they be willing inside?

And this was exactly what Ethan Smith was aiming for.

The scene quieted down, and no one brought up this topic again.

At the bottom, Ethan Smith continued to cultivate in seclusion.

The dark energy in his body was already at saturation, and he was just a line away from breaking through.

It was precisely this line that prevented Ethan Smith from breaking through.

Time passed, minute by minute.

Once again, before they knew it, another three days had passed.

Sammy Taylor couldn’t help but feel a little impatient as well.

He leaned on the edge of the pit and shouted down, “Cuckolded brat, how’s it going?”

Ethan Smith slowly opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath, feeling the critical point of breaking through.

Then, Ethan Smith shouted to the sky, “Mr. Tenny, the treasure is about to appear, get ready.”

Sammy Taylor was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Good, good!”

Ethan Smith said nothing more; he sat down and began to break through.

For an instant, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder rolled!

The dark light pointed straight at the Huge Pit!
