Chapter 291: 291: Shrinking Ground Into An Inch 1
After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“This kid is good.” Old Master Taylor couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“The boy from the Blair family must be furious by now.” Old Master Taylor couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly.
Emily Taylor’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry, as she had been worrying about whether Ethan Smith would run into Dexter Blair and what would happen if they met.
She had thought that Ethan Smith would avoid the Blair family’s offensive for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to strike.
But what she didn’t expect was that Ethan Smith took the initiative to provoke Dexter Blair, leaving him unable to save face.
Unable to advance or retreat.
This method was much better than just hiding!
Now the whole martial arts world knew about this. If Dexter Blair tried to suppress Ethan Smith, wouldn’t he be admitting his incompetence?
“Ethan Smith…” Emily Taylor murmured the name softly. She couldn’t wait to fly to Ethan Smith’s side immediately.
“Cough cough!”
At this moment, Old Master Taylor suddenly coughed violently.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Emily Taylor quickly supported Old Master Taylor.
Old Master Taylor weakly waved his hand and said, “It’s just that I’m getting old, and my body can’t take it anymore.”
“Grandpa, are you… did you get sick or something?” Emily Taylor looked worried.
Old Master Taylor smiled and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry. No matter what, I will be able to hold on until you and Ethan Smith get married.”
“I won’t be able to rest in peace if I don’t see my lovely granddaughter get married. Haha.”
Although his words were light-hearted, there was a hint of heaviness in them.
At this point, Ethan Smith had ingested all eight Earth Rank Pills.
He had been stuck at the Foundation Building Stage Peak for a long time, and if he couldn’t break through this time, it would be very difficult for him to defeat Patrick Ivory.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
Only four days remained until the fight with Patrick Ivory.
The Valley was quiet and peaceful, and even the sky was clear and cloudless.
“This doesn’t look like a sign of breakthrough.” Adonis Williams crossed his arms behind his back.
“Could it be… that Ethan Smith won’t be able to attract heavenly tribulation at the Foundation Establishment Stage?”
But Adonis Williams believed that with Ethan Smith’s talent, he would definitely attract heavenly tribulation!
Finally, on the fourth day, Ethan Smith opened his eyes.
However, his aura didn’t change much.
“I actually didn’t break through…” Ethan Smith’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
Keep in mind that those were eight Earth Rank Pills, refined from a whole Thousand-year Divine Medicine plant!
Moreover, Ethan Smith could clearly feel that the breakthrough was just within reach.
“Is it because a single Thousand-year Divine Medicine is no longer enough for a small stage breakthrough now that I am at this level?” Ethan Smith’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
If that was the case, how hard would it be to cultivate in the future?
Ethan Smith looked solemn as he walked out of the Valley.
“Ethan Smith, how are you?” Adonis Williams and Edward Green hurried over. Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I failed the breakthrough.” “What? You actually failed?” Adonis Williams was stunned and widened his eyes.
He murmured to himself, “A Thousand-year Divine Medicine is enough to advance several stages in the Monastic Stage. How could it fail?”
Ethan Smith was also puzzled, as that was a Thousand-year Divine Medicine!
“I got it!” Suddenly, Adonis Williams said excitedly.
Ethan Smith looked at Adonis Williams, waiting for his explanation.
“It is said that the stronger a person’s talent, the more qi they need to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“Ethan Smith, even a Thousand-year Divine Medicine couldn’t make you break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, which means your future is simply immeasurable!”
Adonis Williams was visibly excited, and his face couldn’t hide his excitement.
Ethan Smith remained silent, as he had considered this possibility.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Stage was the time to lay the foundation for one’s martial arts journey. Needing more qi was not a bad thing.
This would actually help to solidify the foundation.
But… what about Patrick Ivory?
With Ethan Smith’s current strength, there was no way he could face Patrick Ivory.
“Ethan Smith, don’t go to fight Patrick Ivory,” Adonis Williams said at this point.
Ethan Smith frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Adonis Williams continued, “If you die now, it would be such a waste.”
“But… Master Williams, pardon me for being blunt, but you are no match for Patrick Ivory.” Ethan Smith said solemnly.
Adonis Williams laughed carelessly, “No matter. I’m already old, and I’ve lived
ror too long. It’S just aeatn.’
“But you’re different. Your future is still long, and you can’t die at this point.” Ethan Smith didn’t know what to say.
He was silent for a moment, then looked at Adonis Williams and said, “Master Williams, let me do it. I’ve already thought of a way to deal with it.”
Adonis Williams frowned and said, “Ethan Smith, this isn’t realistic. How can I let you go and face Patrick Ivory when I couldn’t fulfill my promise to your father?”
Ethan Smith smiled and said, “Master Williams, don’t refuse. Do you think that even if you fight Patrick Ivory, he will let me go?”
“For him, now is a good time to show off his prowess. If he kills me, he can still invade Chuzzle.”
Although Chuzzle’s martial arts were lacking, its economic development was excellent, and there were countless people coveting this rich territory.
Patrick Ivory was no exception.
Adonis Williams didn’t know what to do for a moment.
“Master Williams, trust me.” Ethan Smith’s eyes were full of determination.
As their eyes met, Adonis Williams was suddenly infected by Ethan Smith’s gaze.
“Alright!” Adonis Williams nodded forcefully.
After that, Ethan Smith didn’t say anything more and continued his closed-door cultivation.
Ethan Smith was very clear that in terms of realm and aura, he was no match for Patrick Ivory.
The only thing that could compete with him was his physical body!
Ethan Smith’s physical body was not inferior to Patrick Ivory’s, and even surpassed it.
As long as Ethan Smith could get close, there was a slim chance of victory.
After the battle with Adonis Williams, Ethan Smith had already discovered his own weakness.
“Patrick Ivory’s speed shouldn’t be worse than Adonis Williams’s.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
In that case, Ethan Smith needed to learn a more powerful cultivation skill.
So, Ethan Smith closed his eyes slightly.
In critical moments, he still had to rely on the heritage treasure trove left by his father.
A stream of information poured into Ethan Smith’s mind.
Finally, a technique called “Shrinking Ground Into An Inch” emerged in Ethan Smith’s mind!
The effect of Shrinking Ground Into An Inch was quite similar to what Adonis Williams had displayed.
After browsing through it, Ethan Smith was even more certain that the technique used by Adonis Williams was Shrinking Ground Into An Inch!
Ethan Smith got up and hurriedly walked out of the Valley.
“Master Williams, was the technique you used called Shrinking Ground Into An Inch?” Ethan Smith asked.
Adonis Williams nodded and said, “Yes, your father taught me that as well.”
Ethan Smith hurriedly asked, “Did you ever pass this cultivation skill on to
Patrick Ivory?”
