Chapter 26 - Mysterious Voice (1)

The old man's eyes widened and there was a strange expression on his face. He knew what he was seeing. This aura layer and its movements were a clear indicator that his profound power was leveling up. But the aura that occurs when someone was leveling up would be semi-translucent or transparent and would have no color. But the aura around Asil whom he stayed in the same cell with him was black and it gave him a shivering sensation.

"What exactly is this? That is not a normal level-up indicator. Feeling this aura makes even someone like me who is in the sixth level nascent profound realm to tremble. When this young man is in such an injured state, the profound power levels up in a different way than normal. I wonder what he'll be like when he levels up and builds the foundation for profound power."

The old man spoke to himself in a voice so low that only he could hear it and continued to watch Asil without getting close. He knew that the body was much more vulnerable during the level up period because its profound energy level had been leveled many times before and that even the slightest blow could affect the flow of energy, causing a great deal of damage to the person who was leveling up.

Time continued to flow, and after a while, the aura around Asil began to gather in the abdominal area. When the Aura was collected into the abdomen, the muscles on the Asil's face, who was unconscious, twitched slightly, and an expression appeared on his face as if he were in pain. The expression on Asil's face lasted about a minute, and when the expression on his face returned to normal, the black aura had already gone into him and disappeared.

The old man looked carefully and examined Asil's profound power. Soon a slight smile appeared on the old man's face and he spoke from his heart:

"What a strange young man! If he can get strong enough and get out of here in no time, I will entrust her to this young man. I hope he could get strong enough to protect her. "

After speaking from within, the old man examined Asil for a while and then closed his eyes and began to meditate again.

Time continued to pass quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. The old man was still meditating with his eyes closed. But the faint groaning sounds he heard at that moment caused him to open his eyes and turn his head towards Asil. The faint moaning sounds were from Asil, who opened his eyes slowly.

Asil opened his eyes slowly and tried to remember what had happened. He was fighting a steel-horned bull in the arena the last time he could remember, and he had a kill-or-kill be killed attack. He raised his right hand slightly and pinched himself while his body still tingled slightly from the pain. When he did that, he felt a pain, followed by a smile on his face. He was confident that he was not dead and that he had won the fight.

After being sure of this, Asil turned his head and looked around and realized he was in his cell. When he was about to ask his cellmate, the old man about what happened, a strange expression occurred on his face and he was stiff.

He was feeling pain in his body right now, but the pain was not all he felt. In addition to the pain, he felt something he had never felt before but had heard many times about what it was like from those who felt it. What he felt was profound power!

Unable to believe what he was feeling, Asil examined his body for a short time and felt that energy radiating from his abdomen to his entire body. He looked at the old man, turning his head immediately to be sure, and eagerly asked: "Senior, is this the profound power I'm feeling?"
