SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 219: Chen Family's Pride at Stake

The dying phoenix took a long time to control her emotions. Kent stood there in hesitation, and he is avoiding direct contact with the phoenix.

"Young man, it is really bad that you came early from that world. If not, you might have another 28 days to learn and train under Lord Phoenix. But don't worry, what you have gained is nothing less. Once you cross the Grand Master Magus stage, you will gain control over your soul space.

The first ancestor lady stored some good things for you." The phoenix paused after a long talk as it felt pain in her throat.

The nirvanic flames effect doubled when the phoenix tried to use its energy or do any actions. "See, young man, I initially thought of giving you one blood drop of mine to repay the debt. But it will be my loss if I don't help you with all my resources.

Close your eyes and let my energy flow inside your aura channels. It might be painful, but you will become immune to any flames in this realm once you endure this." The phoenix finished its sentence with a heavy sigh and began gathering all her energies to perform the ritual.

Kent bowed his head in respect and closed his eyes, waiting for the sorcery to begin. After a long-anticipated wait, he felt warm ash-colored flames invading his aura channels. Kent gritted his teeth and held onto the pain for a few minutes.

But as the energy began assimilating into his aura veins, real pain began invading each cell of his body.

"Ahhhh..."

Kent fell onto his knees and gripped the rocky surface with all his strength. His painful cries reverberated all around the caves like dying shrieks.

"It seems the little one is getting good rewards." The old patriarch of the Eternal Sun Sect, who stood outside the forbidden gate, uttered it with a smile.

Time passed slowly, and streaks of blue lines began forming in Kent's aura channels. The size of his aura channels also began increasing slowly, and his cultivation base began purifying with nirvanic flames.

The amount of pain also doubled for Kent, and his finger nails began digging into the rocky surface of the ground. His body turned an ash color, and he felt like sitting inside a burning cauldron.

Fatty smiled excitedly after seeing the lady's face and hurriedly moved in that direction. "Hai, Lana, sister." Kent waved his hand to Lana, the sole heir of the Mintleaf family, who is also the promised bride to Spurgeon, the heir of the Silver Stokes family.

"What are you doing here?" Lana asked with an excited smile. Beside him, Spurgeon also stood with a stoic face. Due to his prejudice toward Fatty, he didn't greet her and acted like he is not there.

"I should ask you the same. I'm the representative of young master Kent and the gambler who is accepting these bets." Fatty declared it with a proud face.

"What...?! Are you the golden rat everyone talking about?" Lana asked with a wide, open mouth.

Fatty nodded his head with all his teeth out. But Spurgeon, who stood beside Lana, felt like a lightening hit his head.

"You... stop joking. Do you know how much wealth is flowing in here? You can't afford a trip to your home town. So, stop acting like a big shot. Tell me how much they are paying you for working here the whole night." Spurgeon, who didn't believe in Fatty, lashed out in a mocking tone.

Before Fatty took out his gambler token issued by the gambling syndicate, the arbiter lady appeared beside Fatty with a fierce look.

"You, I will cut your tongue if you speak like that with my Ben. Whether you believe it or not, he is the gambler who is accepting these bets. You didn't achieve anything in your life, even with your fancy background. You don't have the right to mock someone who is more capable than you." The arbiter lady gave a despised look while glaring at Spurgeon.

As frequent visitors to Arena, both Spurgeon and Lana recognized the arbiter lady on first glance. Spurgeon felt a shiver run down his back when he saw the beautiful, matured face of the arbiter.

Even though many people don't know about the background of the arbiter lady, Spurgeon once heard about the background of the arbiter lady from his mother, which is a hundred times more powerful than the entire Silver Stokes family.
