Those with the Ice Jade Physique, once they embark on the path of cultivation, have limitless potential for future achievements.
Take the Frostwhisper Clan, the sect where Claudia belongs, for example. The founder of the sect possessed the Ice Jade Physique.
“Ma’ma…” Leo walked into Sophia’s office.
Hearing Leo’s voice, Sophia looked up in surprise and said, “Hubby, why are you here?”
“Who is this old lady?” Sophia noticed the elderly woman staring at her.
Claudia’s face twisted into an unpleasant smile. “Boy, she called you hubby. Is she your wife?”
“Yes, ma’ma,” Leo replied quickly.
“You are quite fortunate,” Claudia said, her attention fixed on Sophia. “Young lady, what is your name?”
Claudia directly addressed Sophia.
Sophia instinctively looked at Leo, who nodded slightly.
“Sophia,” she said.
“Sophia… a nice name. Girl, would you like to become my personal disciple?” Claudia’s face, usually as cold as ice, showed a hint of warmth.
The expression was like that of an elder seeing their younger relative.
“Huh?” Sophia was stunned and confused.
Leo’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected this old lady to choose Sophia from the vast sea of people and want to take her as a disciple.
If Sophia really became her disciple, it would mean that she would embark on the path of cultivation and become a Cultivator like him.
Sophia’s life trajectory and destiny would be completely altered.
“Ma’ma, why do you want my wife to become your disciple?” Leo asked, puzzled.
Claudia turned to Leo and asked, “Can’t you see her physique?”
“Physique? What physique?” Leo truly couldn’t see it.
“Ice Jade Physique! An excellent physique for cultivation!” Claudia said, looking at Sophia again. “Girl, answer me.”
“I…” Sophia instinctively looked at Leo again.
To be honest, she was completely bewildered.
Imagine a domineering female CEO in her office reading documents when suddenly an old lady appears and says she wants to take her as a disciple. What kind of situation is this?
And what is this Ice Jade Physique and cultivation physique? It all sounded like nonsense.
“Girl, don’t look at that boy. Your fate is yours to choose!” Claudia frowned and her voice deepened.
Leo couldn’t help but think: Forcing someone to be your disciple? This old lady is too domineering.
Sophia tried to process everything and then shook her head firmly. “Old lady, I just want to spend my life with my man. I don’t want to be your disciple or cultivate anything.”
“Is that so…” Claudia’s face showed a strange smile. “Since you can’t choose, let me choose for you.”
With that, Claudia waved her sleeve at Sophia, and Sophia disappeared.
“Sophia!” Leo was alarmed. Holding the Dragon Sword, he demanded, “What did you do to her!?”
Claudia turned to face Leo and said coldly, “I will take her on the path of cultivation. You’d better forget about her!”
“Impossible! Old lady, release Sophia!” Leo’s battle power surged.
Claudia sneered and waved her hand, sending Leo flying into the wall.
“Boy, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. Don’t anger me.”
“When you reach my world and gain enough power, perhaps you can see her again.”
With those words, Claudia’s figure blurred and she disappeared from the office.
Leo endured the pain and released his divine sense to locate Claudia but couldn’t sense her presence at all.
The gap in their power was insurmountable.
Using his sword for support, Leo stood up and wiped the blood from his mouth.
“Damn old witch!” Leo spat out blood in anger.
Leo knew that the old lady must have taken Sophia through a spatial rift back to the Cultivator’s World.
To find Sophia, he had to improve his cultivation level and pass through the spatial rift to reach the Cultivator’s World.
Gritting his teeth, Leo thought: Sophia, wait for me. I will find you!
Determined, Leo adjusted his breathing and flew towards the West Sea on his sword.
Upon reaching the spatial rift’s perimeter, Leo tried to find the old lady but found nothing.
She must have left.
Looking at the spatial rift again, its width had halved. Inside the endless darkness occasionally flickered lightning-like flashes due to instability.
Leo could only pray that the rift wouldn’t close completely before he reached the upper Spirit King level.
Just as Leo was about to leave, he remembered the scene of the tiger demon self-destructing.
If the Tiger Bone remained…
Leo’s eyes lit up. Such a powerful tiger demon’s Tiger Bone would be an invaluable treasure.
Retracting his Dragon Sword, Leo dived into the sea headfirst in a perfect diving posture.
As he entered the water, Leo released his divine sense.
Diving deep into the sea, under his divine sense’s search, Leo soon discovered something.
Mobilizing his internal spiritual power, Leo used a water escape technique towards what he sensed.
When Leo reappeared, he saw a bone half-buried in the seabed mud before him.
The bone emitted a faint white glow and contained immense energy and spiritual power.
No doubt about it; this was definitely a bone left from the tiger demon’s self-destruction!
Leo was overjoyed and grabbed it with a telekinesis technique.
With this bone, Leo had a great chance of advancing to the upper Spirit King level.
After storing the bone in his Storage Sack, Leo flew out of the sea and stood in mid-air.
Summoning his Dragon Sword, Leo flew towards Seven Stars Sect.
Upon meeting Jennifer and Violet at Seven Stars Sect, Leo briefly explained the situation to them.
Leo only mentioned that the old lady left through the spatial rift after defeating the giant tiger. He didn’t mention Sophia being taken away because it was a personal matter.
Meanwhile, in a spacious conference room somewhere in the United States…
A large screen was playing a video.
The room was filled with people including President Adrian, Secretary of State Soofi, the Defense Secretary, WONDER Director, CIA Director, FBI Director, several high-ranking military officers, and numerous top scientists.
