A Man Like None Other - Season 5 Episode 70

Memories

“To be precise, he is merely an energy cultivator, not an immortal. I am not sure if there is any immortal in this world. But I know the energy cultivators usually disguise themselves among the citizens. They never reveal themselves. Thus, many people don’t know about their existence!” Samuel explained.

“Dad, then how did you know about them?” Zayden asked.

Samuel suddenly shifted his gaze outside the window and began to recall his memories. “The jade pendant of the Yeagers belongs to an energy cultivator. I remember I was only in my twenties during that time. I was eager to find a powerful elite to become my master. Hence, I followed someone from the Yeagers to go out to sea. I thought natural elites only existed on the islands.

“However, after a day we sailed on the sea, we got caught in a storm. We were washed up on a deserted island, and our ship was stranded at the shore. We were forced to stay on the island, waiting for someone to pass by and rescue us.

“We stayed on the island for seven days. We still had food, but we ran out of clean water. When we were about to die of thirst, it started raining. So both of us began to collect the rain delightfully!

“But soon, we realized something was off. It was only because the sky above our island was raining, there was no rain at all at the other places. Occasionally, there was lightning and some strange noises!

“We followed the noises and eventually spotted two men fighting behind the hill. The scene was extraordinary. One of them was holding a weapon that looked like an ax. Every time he waved his weapon, a bolt of lightning struck. He looked just like a god!

“The other man was holding a flute. He managed to beat the lightning each time and let out loud sounds of explosions. I had never seen such a battle before. It was hardly a battle between ordinary

humans. It was beyond terrifying!

“We hid behind the rocks and did not dare to move an inch. After it turned silent, we lifted our heads to check. The two men had disappeared, and the scene was a mess. The guy from the Yeagers found the jade pendant among the debris. We supposed it belonged to one of them.

“We both knew the jade pendant was a magical item. Later, the tide rose, and we managed to go back on our ship. I wanted the jade pendant for myself, so I secretly assaulted the other guy. Yet, the jade pendant released a red light and attacked me! Upon seeing that, the guy kept the jade pendant as his family heirloom.”

The crowd went into deep thoughts as they listened to Samuel’s story. They had never heard that from him before.

“Grandpa, how could you be so sure that the two men were energy cultivators?” Tristan could not wrap his head around it.

“After I came back, I looked through all the ancient manuals and eventually found it. There are energy cultivators in this world. Based on their fight, they must be energy cultivators!” Samuel explained.

Tristan fell silent upon hearing that. After a while, he spoke again. “I don’t know if Jared is an energy cultivator. But the jade pendant is a magical item. When Franco and I attacked the girl wearing the jade pendant, the red light appeared and attacked us too.”

Samuel’s eyes lit up. “It looks like Jared is indeed an energy cultivator. That jade pendant had never acted in the Yeagers’ place these ten years. Once it went to Jared, it acted. I am sure Jared knows about the secret of the jade pendant!”

“It never acted throughout these ten years? Not even once?” Tristan was somehow startled.
