A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6788

Night covered the Void Sea like a sheet of deep blue silk spread across its boundless surface.

Silver moonlight pierced the clouds and fell upon the gently rolling waves. It shattered into thousands of tiny points that flickered with the water, as though the whole sea were breathing in silence.

On the distant horizon, the outline of Azurewave Island rested upon the surface like a sleeping beast. Scattered lights twinkled across it like eyes the creature opened from time to time.

Jared rose from the depths, his soaked gray robe clinging tightly to his body.

He stepped onto a reef and circulated chaotic force through himself, evaporating the moisture from his clothes.

His gaze swept over the island ahead. Calm resolve stirred in his violet eyes.

After standing briefly in the cool night breeze, he blurred into a gray streak and skimmed soundlessly across the water. He landed on a deserted reef at the island's edge.

Rather than enter the city immediately, Jared sat cross-legged on the rock and spent roughly half an hour regulating his breathing.

Several complete circulations carried both chaotic force and Water Clan power through his body. Satisfied that his condition had reached its peak again, he stood and departed for the inn.

The inn still stood quietly at the far end of the secluded alley.

Jared slipped through the rear window as lightly as a leaf settling on water.

No lamp burned inside. Moonlight entered through the window and drew a narrow silver line across the floor.

At the bed's edge, Gwendolyn meditated with her legs folded. The moment Jared entered through the window, her ice-blue eyes opened and shone like twin points of wintry light in the darkness.

She inspected him from head to toe, and some of the tension left her only when she found no injury.

Then her spirit sense detected an aura many times stronger than the one he had carried when he left, and her ice-blue eyes lit abruptly.

"Your aura changed."

Gwendolyn rose and hurried over, looking him up and down in disbelief. "The strand of Water Clan power inside you is gone? And you reached Golden Immortal Level Six?"

"It is gone, yet it isn't."

Jared sat at the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and took a sip. "It fused with my chaotic force. That strand of Water Clan power has completely become part of my own strength."

Master Veridian poked his head out from a corner. A piece of dry grass he had found somewhere hung from his mouth, and his cloudy eyes widened as he inspected Jared with surprise and curiosity.

"Good heavens! Golden Immortal Level Six after only a few days? Did you stumble into another miraculous opportunity?

"It took me 10,000 years of cultivation to claw my way to Golden Immortal Level Nine, while you're advancing faster than flight! What in the world did you do inside Deepblue City?"

Jared briefly recounted the events of the past few days: the Water Clan power in the Nether Abyss fissure,

Deepblue City beneath the Void Sea, the Water Clan's plight, his fusion with the Sea Soul Pearl, the cleansing of three polluted regions, and his three-move trial against Calder.

His account was simple and unadorned, but Gwendolyn and Master Veridian both listened with bated breath.

"The Sea Soul Pearl?"

Master Veridian clicked his tongue, making the dry grass bob at the corner of his mouth. "I've read about that thing in ancient records. It's supposed to be the lifeblood of the Water Clan, and only one forms every 10,000 years. They actually let you swallow it?"
