Jagoan could feel the draconic essence entering his body. He hurriedly sat cross-legged, attempting to


    merge the two essences together.


    Soon, the two draconic essencesbined, and a dazzling light erupted from Jagoan’s chest.


    Immediately, the Power of Dragons surged in Jagoan uncontrobly like wild horses being released


    into the wilderness. The powerful energy was about to break through his body and shoot straight into


    the clouds.


    Seeing that, Jagoan quickly used his Focus Technique. He started refining the Power of Dragons to


    augment his cultivation level.


    Meanwhile, the people outside the bell tower were growing impatient.


    “It’s been one hour now. I don’t see Jagoan reaching the top of the bell tower yet. Is he dead in the


    passage?”


    “He’s only a Third Level Spirit Replicator. I can’t believe that he has the courage to try it. Does he have


    a death wish?”


    “He’s from the mundane world, after all. How do you expect him to understand the dangers in our


    secret realms?”


    The crowd started chattering among themselves, assuming that Jagoan was already dead inside. It


    had been more than an hour since his disappearance.


    “Ha! He has overestimated himself and lost his life there!” us sneered.


    At the side, Hailey shot us a re before shifting her attention to the bell tower anxiously. Deep


    down, she was worried about Jagoan’s safety.


    I should’ve stopped Jagoan from taking the risk earlier!


    us noticed the concerned look on Hailey’s face. Seeing that, he harbored greater hatred toward


    Jagoan.


    “Chester, is this the person you’ve brought with you? Gate of Fire has lost a participant before the


    competition even started! If we lose this time, the Gunderson family shall bear all the cost. Zahrin Sect


    will not take any responsibility!” Lamar spoke furiously to Chester.


    They belonged to the Gate of Fire, after all. It was the rule to have one participant from one secret


    realm. With Jagoan’s absence, they were being put in a disadvantageous position for not having a


    contestant from the Gate of Fire.


    Chester stayed silent, staring at the bell tower nervously. He was exceedingly worried about Jagoan’s


    disappearance too.


    “Mr. Yuchamore, I think Jagoan’s dead inside. Let’smence thepetition and stop waiting,”


    Angus said.


    Everyone refused to wait any longer. Besides, Sigwin had embarrassed Violet Fulmina Sect that day,


    and the gang could not wait to restore their reputation.


    Quindon nced at the bell tower before turning to Chester to say, “Old Mr. Gunderson, it’s been more


    than one hour. I’ll start thepetition now without waiting for him.”


    “Mr. Yuchamore, please wait for a while more. I believe that Mr. Chance will reach the top!” Chester


    implored.


    “Old Mr. Gunderson, so what if he manages to make it to the top? He would be badly injured by then.


    I’m afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to lift up the hammer to ring the Dragon Bell. Let’s not waste


    time anymore. Everyone is waiting for thepetition to start!” Sigwin uttered in annoyance.


    Getting humiliated earlier that day, the upset Sigwin seized that perfect opportunity to vent his anger on


    Chester.


    However, Chester paid no heed to him and looked at Quindon instead. “Mr. Yuchamore, please wait for


    a while more.”


    Chester was well aware that Quindon was the only one who could decide when thepetition would


    start.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ncing at Chester, Quindon nodded in response. “All right. I’ll wait for five more minutes before


    starting thepetition.”


    Hearing Quindon’s words, nobody dared to utter a word and waited. There was nothing else Chester


    could do at that moment other than pray silently for Jagoan to appear soon.


    “Jagoan, please show yourself! You’ll be fine!” Meanwhile, Hailey clenched her fists, praying for Jagoan


    too.
