“There's still a place with ancient ruins on Dragon Island. The Deragon family has been very generous by choosing to hold the Trial at that spot. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't you want to go there and have a look? I recall there's something you missed on the island,” Mr. Sanders stated with a faint smile.
Jared was quiet. That was because the island carried too many memories for him.
On top of that, Renee was still frozen in ice on Dragon Island. When Jared had gone to the island with Skylar, he had tried looking for her after they retrieved the Flame Dragon and the draconic essence. However, he had failed to find her.
The surroundings on the island had changed, so he could not locate where she was. Nonetheless, he never forgot about her and was constantly thinking of finding a chance to rescue her.
After a few minutes of silence, Jared responded through clenched teeth, “Okay. I agree to participate in the Trial.”
I can also take this opportunity to go to the island and see whether I can find Renee or not.
“Since you've agreed, follow me back.”
With that said, Mr. Sanders stretched a hand toward Jared. “Give me the Nascent Soul. I'll keep it safe for you.”
Jared clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest before shaking his head. The Nascent Soul was like a precious treasure to Jared, so there was no way he would hand it to someone else just like that.
Seeing that, Mr. Sanders chuckled. “It's fine if you don't want to give it to me. Just don't regret it if someone snatches it.”
“I won't regret it,” Jared replied firmly.
Mr. Sanders did not say anything else, and the group returned to Jadeborough.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Hordes of people gathered at a square in Jadeborough that day. There were way more people at the Deragons' training session than the one organized by the martial arts association.
The reason for that was the other training session had only been open to those chosen by the martial arts families who were also members of the martial arts association. Back then, Skylar and Howard had managed to gain some experience there thanks to their connections with Zion. However, they failed to retrieve the Trial's treasure.
