A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5326

Before Jared could answer, Corin appeared, leaning on his cane. One sharp sweep of his gaze took in Lyra's awkward posture, flicked to Jared, and settled there with an all-too-knowing smile. “Youthful vigor is admirable,” he said, beard quivering. “Everything in moderation, though—excess tips into harm.”

He had not spoken the charge aloud, but the meaning in his eyes was bright as noon.

Lyra heard every syllable. Her neck reddened to the roots of her hair. She fled toward her chambers, skirts flying, never daring a backward look.

Inside, she berated Jared in silence. A whole year and he never once thought to pace himself. Now, even walking is a challenge.

Jared rubbed the bridge of his nose, mortified. Corin moved closer, and the moment he felt the vast, newly forged Earthly Immortal Realm spiritual energy on Jared's body, his eyes widened. “Y-You've stepped into Earthly Immortal Realm already?”

It was important to note that Jared had just broken through to Wandering Immortal Realm a few months prior. Such cultivation speed was unheard of.

Jared chuckled, scratching his ear. “I consider myself lucky. Dual cultivation with Lyra accelerated the process.”

Corin nodded again and again, his eyes full of relief. “Excellent—excellent! At last, Sword Sect has an expert who can stand alone on the field.”

He then turned to Flaxseed, sensing an unfathomable aura. Eyes widened in shock, he stammered, “M-Mr. Flaxseed... You...”

“Only restored to Earthly Immortal Realm Level Nine,” Flaxseed answered, casual as breathing. Yet the proud tilt of his chin betrayed how pleased he was with himself.

Corin drew a sharp breath. Three days gone, and they've both advanced so far. Jared has broken through to Earthly Immortal Realm, and Flaxseed has regained Earthly Immortal Realm Level Nine. The Pentacarna Tower truly is a divine item!

“You have only just shattered your bottlenecks. Give your strength a few quiet days to settle. Swordmaster City is calm for once—stay put and use that peace,” Corin said to Jared and Flaxseed.

Truth be told, Corin feared that the two would charge straight to Malevolent Path Hall right after they had broken through.
