Maxine quickly got up and grabbed Thea’s wrist to check snazzynovel.com pulse. The moment snazzynovel.com skin made contact with Thea’s, snazzynovel.com felt a biting cold from Thea’s arm,
She endured the chill and swiftly checked Thea’s pulse.
After assessing Thea’s condition, Maxine furrowed snazzynovel.com eyebrows and exclaimed, “What happened? How did you get so severely injured?”
Thea took a tissue out of snazzynovel.com pocket, wiped the blood from snazzynovel.com lips, and said weakly, “Simon hit me with a palm thrust when we fought. He had refined the Spirit Turtle’s core, and snazzynovel.com got significantly stronger. However, snazzynovel.com was cautious because snazzynovel.com mistook me for Thomas. That’s likely why snazzynovel.com fled the battle. If that hadn’t happened, I probably wouldn’t have made it out alive.”
Thea hurried back to the Capital after momentarily closing up snazzynovel.com injuries in the vicinity of Mount Thunder Sect because snazzynovel.com knew it was unsafe to continue staying there.
She could only recuperate in the safety of the Capital.
As snazzynovel.com journeyed back, snazzynovel.com endured the pain and pretended to be a regular tourist. However, the injuries took a toll on snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com arrived home and snazzynovel.com was no longer able to withstand the pain.
“Your injuries are grievous. You’ll need to spend a lot of time resting in order for them to get better. Otherwise, the consequences will be grave…”
Maxine pressed snazzynovel.com thumb against snazzynovel.com lip before saying, “I’ll prescribe a formula to help accelerate your healing.”
Thea gently shook snazzynovel.com head and moved snazzynovel.com hand away. “Ordinary medicine isn’t going to be effective on my injuries. Don’t worry about it. I’ll come up with a way to treat them. I’m going back to my room first.”
Thea got up and wanted to leave but was immediately overcome with vertigo the moment snazzynovel.com stood up. Waves of intense pain washed over her, and snazzynovel.com fell helplessly onto the chair.
Maxine shook snazzynovel.com head. She reached out to help Thea up and carry snazzynovel.com suitcase.
“Get the hell away from my stuff!” Thea’s attitude suddenly shifted and snazzynovel.com growled at Maxine.
Her outburst made Maxine stop in snazzynovel.com tracks as snazzynovel.com stared at Thea in astonishment.
It took a few seconds for snazzynovel.com to compose herself and reply, “I just wanted to help you carry your things.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Thea snapped back.
Then, snazzynovel.com stood up, carried snazzynovel.com suitcase, and dragged snazzynovel.com injured body into the house.
After entering the house, snazzynovel.com slammed the door shut.
Maxine touched snazzynovel.com nose pensively and muttered, “She’s got a stick up snazzynovel.com a*s this time too, huh?”
She shooed away snazzynovel.com thoughts and chose not to linger at Thea’s place any longer.
When Thea was in snazzynovel.com house, snazzynovel.com opened snazzynovel.com suitcase and emptied its contents. Inside were snazzynovel.com clothes, mask and the Malevolent Sword. Then, snazzynovel.com hurriedly hid everything in snazzynovel.com closet. Afterward, snazzynovel.com limped into the bathroom, took off snazzynovel.com clothes, and scrutinized snazzynovel.com body in front of the mirror.
A black imprint from a palm was left on Thea’s fair chest. The flesh around the imprint had begun to show signs rot.
Thea inspected the injury on snazzynovel.com body with a grim expression.
It’s Spiritual Palm…
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com face contorted in pain.
She fell to the floor and flailed around for a while before snazzynovel.com was able to calm down.
Her chest heaved tiredly as snazzynovel.com forced herself up.
She never expected Simon to have learned such a devious martial art technique.
Spiritual Palm was a Spiritual Art technique and was considered a wicked martial art.
Thomas had taught snazzynovel.com the cultivation method for it, but James stopped snazzynovel.com from practicing it because Maxine had mentioned how evil the technique was. Afterward, James taught snazzynovel.com Heavenly Breath instead. It was a mystery how Simon, the Grand Sect Leader of Mount Thunder Sect, could have learned the Spiritual Palm.
It was a martial art technique that Thomas had acquired when snazzynovel.com was younger.
Could it be that Sir Caden also taught this martial art technique to Simon?
Or, perhaps, Sir Caden learned this martial art technique from Simon?
Thea could not understand how Thomas and Simon were related.
At the same time, snazzynovel.com was unsure of why Simon would mistake snazzynovel.com for Thomas.
Could it be because of the Malevolent Sword?
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com realized that Simon could have gone to the Snow Cavern and seen the Malevolent Sword before.
Since Simon and Thomas were together before the Mount Thunder Conference, there must be a secret link between the two people.
Thea tried piecing the puzzle together but could not fathom how the complete picture looked.
She had sustained some serious damage and poisonous Cold Energy from the Spiritual Palm was slowly dissipating throughout snazzynovel.com body. She had to expel the Cold Energy as soon as possible, or it would slowly corrode snazzynovel.com body from within.
