Chapter 1686

Chapter 1686As the two of them were talking, several sudden flashes of light appeared, and with it came martial
energy sharp as blades that charged toward them. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Clang! Clang Clang! The bursts of martial energy hit Evangeline and were promptly shattered into
pieces. However, her body remained unscathed.
The woman’s body could withstand the attack of a sacred martial arts relic, let alone a few bursts of
martial energy. Jared remained in one piece since he was hiding behind Evangeline.
However, Flaxseed was not that lucky. Those bursts of martial energy that originated from a charm cut
his body, and blood gushed out of his wounds.
“What the f*ck? There are still charms that haven’t been activated?” he cursed out loud angrily. Seeing
the state that he was in, Jared chortled. “What are you laughing at?” Flaxseed pinned him with a
withering look.
However, at the sight of Jared remaining unharmed from hiding behind Evangeline, he promptly rushed
over to join him. “Mr. Flaxseed, didn’t you say it’s not manly to hide behind a woman?” Jared teased.
Hearing that, Flaxseed immediately protested, “I’m not hiding behind a woman. This is a corpse; she’s
not a human, so she can’t be called a woman.”
Instead of replying to him, Jared put his guard up and made his way forward carefully. Both men hid
behind Evangeline and inched forward step by step.
Soon, they reached the gate of Skywrath Sect’s ancient ruins, at which Jared stopped because he
dared not proceed forward.
“Mr. Flaxseed, where is the charm spell? I won’t be going in even if you insist,” Jared said to Flaxseed.
Flaxseed replied, “We don’t have to go in. Our destination is right beside it.”He then led the other two to a path aside. Soon, a huge boulder covered with symbols Jared did not
recognize appeared in their sight. “What is this?” Jared asked.
“This is a charm boulder, and on it is the charm spell,” Flaxseed revealed.
“D*mn, it’s right here. Can’t you memorize everything yourself?” A wave of fury crashed through Jared.
How could Flaxseed trick me into coming all the way here when the charm spell is right here?
Flaxseed stared at Jared quietly. Suddenly, a smile tugged at his lips as he said, “Do you think I can
utilize the charm spell once I memorize it? How naïve of you. If it’s that easy, everyone will be able to
master charm spells.”
“Then how can one master them?” Jared was surprised “One will have to tame the charm spirit to
master an advanced charm spell like this. It isn’t as simple as memorizing the charm spell,” Flaxseed
explained patiently.
“The charm spirit?” Jared was confused, for it was the first time he had ever heard about charm spirits.
“There is a charm spirit in every advanced charm spell. To master the charm spell, one will have to
tame its charm spirit. Do you understand now?” Flaxseed had no choice but to explain everything again
in detail.
“Go tame it, then!” Jared urged.
Flaxseed was speechless. “I wouldn’t have had to ask for your help if I could tame it!” he retorted.
Jared regarded him with a look of despair on his face. “If I am able to tame the charm spirit, I will be the
one to master the charm spell. What does that have to do with you?”“After you master it, you can pass it to me. That way, I don’t have to tame the charm spirit.” Flaxseed
revealed his plan as a smirk played about his lips.
“You…” To Jared’s dismay, he found himself at a loss for words. In the end, he sighed and relented.
“Fine. I’ll go tame the charm spirit.”
“You only have to put your hand on the boulder. This is a Transforming Clone Charm, so don’t trust
anything you see,” Flaxseed exhorted.
“Okay, got it.”
With that, Jared reached out to touch that boulder. At once, the symbols on the boulder radiated a
blindingly bright light that enveloped him whole..
