In truth, James wanted to witness the once-in-a-lifetime battle and seek advice from the Omniscient Deity and Sky on how best to cross into the ninth rank.
“Go ahead if you want.”
Thea did not stop him.
She knew that James was passionate about martial arts, researching them day in and day out. She also knew that James was adamant about making a breakthrough into the ninth rank.
As if sensing James’ concerns, she said with a smile, “Just go, I’ll be fine. I’m not a child anymore. Even though the baby’s due in two months, I’m still one of the most powerful martial artists out there. No ordinary martial artists can approach me. With the Malevolent Sword in my hand, I might even stand a chance against some of the best ones out there.”
James shook his head and said, “Nah, forget it. Something bad has just happened to the Callahans. Besides, Callan just said that someone’s targeting me behind the shadows. It would be bad if someone comes the moment I leave.”
Although James wanted to watch the battle between the Omniscient Deity and Sky, Thea was the most important thing to him.
Hearing this, Thea was overjoyed.
She smiled and said, “Why don’t I go with you then?”
“No way.” James turned down her proposal and said, “The baby’s due in two months. You aren’t going anywhere.”
Thea sighed and said, “I’m a martial artist, James. I’m not that pathetic. In any case, the journey to Mount Kirkton requires approximately a day. We still have time. We’ll leave tomorrow after packing our stuff.”
“Are you sure about this?” James looked at her.
“Yes, of course.” Thea said smilingly, “I know my own body.”
“Alright then, we’ll head out tomorrow.”
James was looking forward to watching the battle between two of the most powerful individuals in the world.
Soon, a day passed.
The next morning, James, Thea, and Callan left the village and headed to a nearby city to take a plane to Hearthome City, the city where Mount Kirkton was located.
After arriving in Hearthome City, Callan got them a car and drove toward the mountains.
