A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1396

Chapter 1396 A Gift

“It’s a long story, Diego…” Zion let out a big sigh, then told Diego what had happened. When Diego heard that Zion was injured by a young man in his twenties, his expression changed.

“You mean such a genius exists in Chanaea now? He can beat you at such a young age?” Diego asked solemnly. “There’s something you’re not aware of, Diego. Jared is an energy cultivator. He—”

Before Zion could finish his sentence, Diego jumped to his feet in disbelief and said, “What? An energy cultivator? An energy cultivator at such a young age is more powerful than you?”

“This world is currently so spiritually deprived. So how is that possible? Even if he started cultivating since the day he was conceived, there’s no way he can surpass you!”

Diego found it hard to believe that an energy cultivator could make such quick progress, given the condition the society was in at that time.

“Jared seemed to have had some miraculous encounters, Diego. His rapid growth in power should be because of the draconic essence he possessed…”

Zion went on to fill Diego in with details about the draconic essence in Jared.

Diego’s eyes lit up with greed when he heard that.

Zion was secretly pleased when he saw that expression on Diego. He knew he had successfully tempted Diego.

“Since he managed to defeat you, he should have achieved the middle phase of Nascent Soul. However, that means nothing to me!” Diego said pridefully.

Zion was stunned to hear Jared had already attained the middle phase of Nascent Soul!

“If you were to step in, Jared would be dead meat, Diego,” Zion continued to fan Diego’s ego.

“Even on Encanta Island, I had to work hard for decades before I managed to attain the state of Nascent Soul. It is amazing that with that draconic essence, a young chap could make that much progress within such a short time. I’ve reached a stage of stagnation in my cultivation, so maybe I can make use of his Nascent Soul and the draconic essence in him to achieve a breakthrough…” Diego said coldly with a serious look on his face.

Diego was stuck in a stage of stagnation for many years, and he had difficulty achieving a breakthrough to reach the next level of cultivation.

Encanta Island seemed to be cursed, as no one there had managed to achieve the middle phase of Nascent Soul.

Back in Jadeborough, Xavier was reporting solemnly to Mr. Sanders at the Department of Justice.

“Mr. Sanders, Zion has persuaded Diego from Encanta Island to help him deal with Jared.”

He knew the people at Encanta Island, so when Zion met up with Diego, he knew Jared would be in trouble.

“Encanta Island?” Mr. Sanders smiled. “Looks like Jared has finally found his match. I wonder how he’s going to thank me for this gift I got him.”
