Eternal Thief-Novel

While the entire upper echelon of the Sky Heart Imperial School was shaken, the real person responsible for it was busy comprehending the archery like nobody's business

As for the Life Lightening Quartz was completely suppressed after entering the thief's space and beclike a vulnerable cat. It was now completely under Ace's control, and when Cyrus appeared, it literally trembled under the little guy's wolf-like, hungry eyes.

Ace kept his promise in the end, and since only the filament within the Life Lightening Quartz was important to him, he carefully cut a small outer shell with heavenly lightning sword intent and gave it to Cyrus. Only then did the little guy calm down. Furthermore, Cyrus fell into slumber after consuming that small part.

Ace also found that only an extremely high level of lightning could cut the Life Lightening Quartz, and his despair lightning was not enough, but the heavenly lightning was like the bane of the life lightning, so it was easily cut apart.

So, he carefully placed it under a sealing formation and hid it in a remote corner of the thief's space. Only then did he return to cultivates.

Days passed, and in these past days, Ace could sense that the imperial school was filled with slight chaos, and he knew it had something to do with the lightning mountain. But no one cto disturb him, which meant his plan worked, and now everyone was suspecting Purple Sword.

But he knew it was impossible to have Purple Sword take responsibility since there were many methods to find the truth. However, it would still give him tand keep others' attention on Purple Sword.

A month passed, and the incident of the Lightning Mountain was now known to everyone in the imperial school, but no one knew who caused it, and according to the information released by the Principal Tower, it was a natural phenomenon. As for Purple Sword, he has yet to return to his dwelling.

On this day, Conner finally comes to check on Leroy.

But there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, "Sigh, I meant to cearlier, but too many things have happened. I hope you weren't slacking off."

Leroy seemed surprised as he inquired with sconcern, "What happened, Master? Is everything all right?"

Seeing the concern in his disciple's eyes, Conner suddenly felt very good; he waved his hand and said, "Nothing your master can't handle. In fact, that old thief Heavy Thunder Sword almost gone mad with indignation!" A hint of gloating was present in Conner's tone.

'Old thief?' Ace was surprised as he could sense that there was shistory between Conner and Heavy Thunder Sword. It also appeared that the matter of Purple Sword has somewhat affected his master as well.

"Alright, this has nothing to do with us. Showhow much you have progressed with the Death Striker Archery Art. If you make sprogress in the first level, I'll give you a good opportunity." Conner sternly stated.

'But I've already mastered the three levels. If I can get the other three levels, my progress will becfaster, and I'm also on the verge of gasping for the bow and arrow intent, the Orbit Intent.

'However, if I revealed my progress, it would be too shocking. But I might not get another chance once I enter the secret realm since I have to start the final mission before something untoward happens, like the United Mainland incident.

'Conner seemed to be sincerer, so if I showed my talent, he might bechappy… what to do…' Ace was in a dilemma.

Although he wanted to remain low-key and avoid arousing suspicion, he also wanted to make progress with his sword intent so he could learn the Heaven Splitting Sword Secret Cultivation Technique.

Furthermore, he wasn't going to stay here since he had other matters to tend to, and he was only here for Eva. Once the secret realm was opened, he had to take drastic measures so he might not return.

If he wanted, he could easily steal from Conner, but he didn't want to since Conner had no malice towards him and was sincerely teaching him. Once he leaves, Conner would be greatly affected, so he wants to repay the kindness as much as he can, and stealing from him would have the opposite effect.

But as a thief, he knew emotions only get in the way, and his progress mattered the most. Only then can he survive on this path.

Determination shone in Ace's eyes as he looked at Conner, who was expectantly waiting for him to show him his progress.

"Umm, master, what if I comprehend all three levels?" Ace stared deeply into Conner's eyes as he wanted to see through his reaction.

Conner's eyes widened when he heard this question; he was bewildered for a moment before he suddenly burst into wanton laughter, "Hahahaha, master all three levels in a month? If you achieve that, then all my life accumulation will be yours. Little brat, there's no need to lie to make your master happy; such an archery genius is heaven-dying and might never appear in forever. Now stop spouting nonsense and showyour progress."

He clearly wasn't going to believe Leroy since it was impossible for such a monster to appear, and all his life's worth of achievement would turn into a joke.

Ace didn't sense anything from Conner since this was a really ridiculous claim.

In the end, he took out the bow, pulled the string, and said to Conner, "Master, can you make that Bee target for me?"

'Is he serious?' Conner's eyebrows shot up as he looked at Leroy's serious expression, and his heart skipped a beat for a moment, "Alright, I'll make a movement to match your cultivation level; let's see if you're really telling the truth or not."

He didn't reject it, and a bee appeared just like the one he used to demonstrate. The next moment, the bee flapped its wings and turned into a streak of lightning as it moved in the air.

Conner held his breath as he looked at Leroy as a Qi arrow appeared on his bow, and soon the Qi arrows suddenly churned as the arrowhead began to revolve lightly.

'T-this…' Conner's eyes almost popped out when he saw this as he could sense that Conner had really mastered the first two levels to perfection.

When Conner was almost scared silly, the arrow was finally released, and like it had a mind of its own, the arrows instantly chased behind the bee.

After two seconds, the arrow directly pierced the bee, and with a small bang, both the arrow and the bee turned into particles!

Conner looked at this scene as if his soul had left his body with a dumbstruck look on his face, and his mouth was wide open.

Ace found it somewhat fully as he said with an innocent expression, "Do you believenow?"
