Chapter 2323


    At that juncture, Monash, who had yet to speak, caressed his chin. Deep in thought, he could no longer stop himself from asking, "Was it really Yura? Why do I get the feeling that something is off?"


    "What would be off?"


    "Monash, did you realize something?"


    "What''s up?"


    Peering at the group, Monash expressed his doubts. "We''ve all assimted martial essence. Once we do, there will be remnants of martial essence left on us, causing our vital energy to undergo changes.


    "For example, Wagner, who acquired the most martial essence, has the most powerful energy among us."


    "If Yura had truly assimted more than a hundred streams of martial essence, there should be stronger traces and fluctuations of martial essence detectable in her body''s energy."


    "However, if I recall our meeting just now, I didn''t sense that sort of strong energy from her earlier."


    Frowns inevitably crossed the others'' faces when they heard his observation.


    "It really seems so. The remnants of martial essence from Yura''s body were indeed not strong."


    "She did seem to be around the same level as us. Maybe she''s just slightly stronger."


    "What in the world is going on?"


    While they spected about it, Monash spoke up again. "Logically speaking, Yura''s strength is on par with ours. Her assimtion of martial essence is about the same too. I''ve never heard of her possessing such talent that would allow her to assimte that much martial essence at once. Could it be that she has a special method or some item?"


    His words evoked simr thoughts in the others'' minds.


    "Perhaps Yura has a unique martial arts technique to quickly assimte martial essence."


    "Or maybe she obtained a treasure that enhances her ability to assimte martial essence."


    In an instant, their minds were fraught with numerous doubts and guesses.


    Just as they had lowered their heads, deep in thought, they felt their breathing suddenly growbored.


    All of a sudden, an invisible wave rippled in their direction, immediately rousing them.


    "This... This is martial essence! Someone has assimted it," said Wagner.


    "It''s Yura. Which direction is iting from?" Shamos asked.


    By the time his question fell from his lips, the first stream of martial essence was still lingering. After it, more and more streams rushed towards them in session.


    They came rapidly, in vast numbers.


    In a short moment, over 200 streams had appeared.


    "This... Could it be that Yura really has..."


    At present, all their expressions had transformed. Their eyes glittered and they looked maniacal.


    "Let''s go take a look!" Wagner was the first to speed off.


    The remaining members of the group immediately followed suit, all of them rushing in the direction of the martial essence streams.


    At that very moment, Fade was in high spirits in the de tomb of the valley as he felt the streams of de essence constantly entering his spiritual consciousness.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    "It''s indeed easier to assimte de essence. I''ve felt more than 300 streams of de essence now. That''s more than the total of the previous three floorsbined." Beside him, Yura was also delighted.


    Her delight was because she had assimted more than 70 streams of de essence, which waspletely beyond her expectations.


    Right as the duo were about to make haste to continue the process...


    Out of the blue, they heard the whistling of people approaching at breakneck speed, headed towards them.


    Fade and Yura soon heard surprised voices as well.


    "There''s so many des here."


    "With such dense de essence here, it''s no wonder she could assimte that much!"


    "I feel like I''m about to get something too!"


    "It''s Wagner and his group!"


    Yura and Fade shared a look when they detected the voices. Simultaneously, they stopped their assimtion and stood up to walk towards the entrance of the valley.


    It was then that they met Wagner''s group, who were all raring with excitement.


    "It''s you guys!" Shamos looked at the two of them.


    "Yura, how did you find such a good ce?" Wagner asked with a smile.


    She snickered frigidly. "Does it have anything to do with you guys?"


    Wagner maintained his smile. "Why are you so worked up, Yura? Could you be hiding something that we''re not supposed to see?" "What do you mean, Wagner? She asked, her brows furrowing.


    His smile grew. "You should know best of all what I mean!"


    "You..." She was thoroughly perplexed.


    Then, Monash rified, "Miss Shan,


    we are all martial artists and


    comrades here. If you have any


    special methods or items to


    el


    assimte martial essence, why not share it with us? It''s a win-win situation."


    When she heard that, she immediately understood.


    "All that beating around the bush just for this. So you guys think I have some kind of hidden treasure!" She red at them.


    Shamos'' tone was hostile. "That''s the only possibility. Otherwise, with your talent, I don''t believe that you can surpass us by that much."


    His usations triggered her. "What do you mean by that, Shamos?"


    Wagner butted in, still smiling. "Don''t get all heated, Yura! We''re just having a casual conversation."


    "A casual conversation?" Yura snorted coolly. "Do you guys think I''m not aware of what you''re up to?"


    "Forget about the fact that I don''t have any such treasure. Even if I do, it has nothing to do with you. Were you all thinking of snatching it from me by force?"


    Her words turned the atmosphere tense instantly.


    Both sides were ready to sh with their weapons. A fight was due to break out anytime.


    Although Yura had fewer people on


    her side, she didn''t intend to stand down at all. With a fierce re, she dered Houdly, "Go ahead. Stop dawdling around and pretending to be good people, as if you all are gentlemen."


    "You..." A chill settled into Shamos'' expression.


    Kelton and Monash narrowed their eyes too.


    After a moment of silence, Wagnerughed. "Yura, what are you talking about? Our four ns are of the same origin. We''re fellow disciples."


    "How could we possibly kill each other when we''re brothers-in-arms?"


    "We were just concerned about you, Yura. That''s why we asked."


    "Concerned!" She snorted. The wariness in her eyes did not diminish.


    Wagner nced at the valley, and then spoke to her again. "This is a good ce to assimte de essence. Is it okay with you if we were to do it here too?"


    Yura replied, "This isn''t my personal territory. If you want to do so, go on. Just don''t disturb


    US."


    "Of course." Wagner nodded. "This valley isrge, and there are many precious des. Everyone has a chance."


    "Let''s find a suitable ce to get some de essence. What do you guys think?"


    As Wagner had the highest rank among all of them, there were naturally no objections to his suggestion. Everyone in his group nodded in agreement.


    Yura and Fade had no objections as well.


    Thus, the group of people split up and to each find a suitable location to assimte their own de essence.
