"Here. You should have a drink as well!"
Austin told Princess Esther and pushed a glass of wine towards her.
"No way! The food of the spiritual race looks so disgusting. | don't know what's in this wine and | don't want to drink it!"
Princess Esther was so nauseated at the idea that she quivered.
She had totally lost her appetite after seeing the heads on the table.
"I know the food's not to your taste. But their wine is different. It is good for the spiritual soul.
Getting a chance to try it is rare. My advice is that you should give it a try,"
Austin told her with a smile.
"Really? Is the wine so precious?"
Princess Esther could see that Austin seemed in a happy mood after taking a sip of the wine. His delight calmed her fears down
and she decided to give it a shot.
After much hesitation, she finally took a careful sip.
"Hey, this is really good!"
She felt an instant change in her spiritual soul as soon as her tongue touched the wine. A fresh and energetic feeling ran across her
spiritual soul. The wine felt pure without any sort of adulteration.
She liked it so much that she drank several glasses in a row.
"Hey, my friend... You should try these spiritual seeds as well.
| nurtured them carefully in my mansion. They are fed with a lot of natural treasures and resources that contain tremendous
amounts of spiritual soul energy. | am not going to diverge too much detail, but there's a secret method in our royal family that
does wonders to these spiritual seeds. It takes the spiritual soul essence and the spiritual soul law from those resources, and
preserves it inside the spiritual seeds' heads.
Also, every inch of their flesh and blood contains significant amounts of spiritual soul essence and spiritual soul laws.
It takes a long tto craft these spiritual seeds. When they're finally ready, they contain a great amount of energy and
nourishments which is very useful for our members’ cultivation,"
Rondo told Austin and pointed at the heads on the plates.
Then, with much ado, he picked up one of the heads and put it into his mouth. He then began chewing it with an enjoyable
expression.
"Spiritual seed? Secret method of the royal family?"
The words seemed a bit promising, but Austin felt so disgusted at the sight of him eating a living screaming head that he didn't
even want to try it.
Princess Esther, who was sitting by Austin's side, looked pale as well. It looked like she was going to throw up any second now.
Luckily, she did not.
"No thank you, Your Highness. | like the wine better, but you are welcto take your twith the spiritual seeds. We'll stick to
the wine."
Austin forced a smile and politely refused.
He found it a little funny that Rondo had arranged for scharming girls to dance and entertain them while they dined.
Apparently, he liked to create a happy, fervent atmosphere for his guests.
After several rounds of drinking and toasting, Rondo was unable to hold back his curiosity any longer. He began talking to Austin in
a casual manner. His intention was to inquire about the Austin's background.
"Dude! Your strength is amazing, but you also seem strange tosomehow.
| don't think | have ever met you before. May | have the honor to know your name?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRondo asked.
"Ha-ha, my nis Gio. | left the Spirit Cosmos a long tago and have wandered the outside worlds ever since. | cback to
the Spirit Cosmos only recently, which is why we've never met.
Also, when | left the Spirit Cosmos, | was a nobody. But you are a prince, so it is natural that you've never heard of me,"
Austin replied flatly.
"l see!
Yes, you are right. Most of the martial arts masters | knew were from the Spirit Cosmos.
If you have just returned here in recent days, it is understandable that | don't know you,"
Rondo uttered. Austin's explanation made sense to him.
It also dispelled the last shreds of doubt he had about this young man. He fully trusted Austin now.
"Gio, | want to introduce you to a senior,"
Rondo suddenly said.
"Oh, a senior? Who is it?"
Austin was surprised to hear that.
"Your Highness!"
Before Austin could respond, an old man, clad in cyan clothes, appeared beside Rondo. He seemed to have popped out of nowhere
and was now looking down at Austin with a pair of gloomy eyes.
"Elder Payne, this is Gio. What do you think of his skills?"
Rondo turned to the old man and asked.
"His skills? They are nothing in my eyes."
The old man continued looking at Austin with a cold and disdainful look.
The expressions on his face were that of a winner who was looking down on someone he'd just defeated. It was clear that Austin
held no good place in the old man's eyes.
However, Austin just flashed a cold smile to the old man and kept silent.
'This old man is from the spiritual race and is a very powerful divine god!"
Although Austin's facial composure was retained, he was, in secret, overjoyed upon seeing the old man.
The old man physically looked like a weak human being. However, under that human-shaped shell hid a divine god of the spiritual
race.
Austin had cto the isolated alien spaces with the singular aim of finding a divine god from the spiritual race.
Now, his target was standing right in front of him!
'I must find an opportunity to take control of this old man and make him my slave. Once that is done, | can force him to tell me
everything about the advanced use of the Puppet Strings. After | get that information out of him, the goal | had while coming to the
isolated alien spaces will have been achieved, '
Austin thought to himself.
"Hey, brat, do you have any special skills? Show me!"
The old man broke Austin's train of thought and arrogantly called out with his hands behind his back.
"Huh?
Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to orderaround?"
Austin asked with defiance.
"Gio, Gio, Gio... Take it easy, dude! Please don't be angry.
Elder Payne just wants to test your strength. He doesn't mean to be impolite."
Seeing that Austin had becenraged, Rondo tried to calm him down.
"You are an arrogant bastard. Letsee just how good you are."
Seeing that Austin was challenging him and not following his orders, the old man becfurious as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The old man opened his mouth and spurted out a blazing fire. Once out of his mouth, the trail of fire dissolved into the space
around him and the entire area was turned into a sea of fire. The flames rushed towards Austin like a fire dragon.
These flames were condensed out of spiritual soul energy. Although they were physically harmless, they were designed to directly
invade the opponent's Soul Sea and burn the spiritual soul.
'The martial arts masters of the spiritual race have an excellent grasp of using spiritual sense and spiritual soul energy. They have
learnt numerous ways to use them.
Although my spiritual sense is extremely powerful, and most likely stronger than most of the spiritual race members, | have only
mastered a limited number of spiritual soul secret skills.
This old man is a master, so | hope | can get something useful from my trip to the Spirit Cosmos this time, '
Austin thought to himself in secret.
"Humph! Dealing with that is just a piece of cake,"
Austin sneered in an arrogant tone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sphere of spiritual sense inside his Soul Sea began to spin around at a rapid speed under his command. Endless amounts of
spiritual sense energy were released like a tsunami.
Boom!
Suddenly, the whole palace began to shake.
Austin's spiritual soul energy was so magnificent that it enveloped the entire palace in the mere blink of an eye.
Every inch of the space around them was filled with it and an earthquake seemed to have hit the area.
This was not sbrilliant secret skill. In fact, this was the most primitive and violent form of strike, which merely amassed
tremendous amounts of spiritual soul energy and then threw it at the enemy.
"What the hell?"
Both the old man in cyan and Rondo were frightened at this move. They were forced to retreat due to the terrifying outburst from
Austin.
The flames that the old man had used to attack Austin were already extinguished.
"Who the hell are you? How do you have such terrifying strength?"
The old man's face turned livid. He hadn't expected that this young man would possess a spiritual soul energy that was much
stronger than his own! His pride had been hurt!
In the spiritual race, the spiritual soul energy had the seffect as the spiritual energy for other creatures.
For them, a higher level of spiritual soul energy meant a higher cultivation base.
"Who do you think you are? You have no right to askany questions!"
Austin replied arrogantly.
"Gio, your strength is terrifying!"
Rondo was both surprised and pleased at the sight.
"What do you think, Elder Payne?"
He turned towards the old man and asked.
"This young man's strength is unfathomable.
However, he is too arrogant and will prove difficult to control. Your Highness, you must be extremely careful if you have any plans
that involve this young man."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe old man in cyan was very dissatisfied with Austin's attitude. He seemed reluctant to say anything more. With a sudden swing
of his sleeve towards Austin, he disappeared as abruptly as he had appeared.
'It looks like Rondo is trying to winover."
Austin sneered in his heart, but once again, his face remained calm and composed.
"Gio, | won't beat around the bush with you anymore.
| have something important | need to discuss with you."
After the old man had left, Rondo proposed a toast to Austin and then finally cto the point.
