My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1768

The powerful aura made Tysen's face pale. Despite having Angel's Protection, it was useless. After all, he could only summon a remnant soul of a two-winged angel, and its true power was only approximately at the Saint Realm.

On the contrary, Ryan had forcibly elevated his cultivation to the Saint Realm, which meant his next attack could very likely break Tysen's secret technique.

"What the...?"

"Oh, shit, this is unbelievable!"

"Saint Realm… He raised his cultivation to the Saint Realm?"

Even the cultivators at the Legendary Realm were not able to contain their shock. Among hundreds of guilds across the entire Western region, there were only two or three individuals who had reached the Saint Realm.

Yet, a young cultivator at the King Realm had just raised his cultivation to the Saint Realm. How could anyone compete against that?

What about the rules of the arena? Were Mystique Loyalty Realm cultivators not supposed to be the only ones allowed to compete?

Everyone from the Divine Strategy Squadron was equally dumbfounded. Eric narrowed his eyes as he said, "I didn't expect Ryan to have such a powerful trump card up his sleeve. No wonder he’s so confident.”

Bertram grinned. "Good lad, as expected of our commander's childhood friend. They are birds of a feather, indeed!"

Dallas took a deep breath and glanced at Eric. "Elder Sands, Ryan hasn't joined the Celestial Dragon Squadron yet, right?"

Eric raised an eyebrow, his expression alert. "Old man, what are you up to?"

Dallas sighed softly. "I'm not up to anything. I’m getting old and think it's time to retire. I should look for a successor."

With Nash in the Celestial Dragon Squadron, they would inevitably surpass the Divine Strategy Squadron sooner or later. Dallas saw in Ryan a talent comparable to Nash's.
