Chapter 1003: Swallowing Seed

In a mere instant, the Jester completed a forced breakthrough of the sixth chakra. All the raw power pent up inside, with no outlet to vent, was channeled into breaking through the sixth chakra. In just a moment, this propelled the Jester into a completely new realm on the path of raw power cultivation.

The Jester was also the first member of the entire Honor Squad, besides Lingyao, to open the sixth raw power chakra. Now, looking at the entire squad, the Jester was arguably the third strongest member, surpassed only by Xu Yang and Lingyao.

With the forced breakthrough of the sixth chakra, all restraints binding the Jester's body shattered completely. The avenger before him, caught in this incredibly powerful surge, was violently flung backward, crashing heavily into the wall of the enclosed space behind him, and then falling flat on his face.

"Boss!" The Jester abruptly turned around, and when he saw Xu Yang's calm profile standing right in front of him, his eyes welled up with tears again.

For the first time, he removed the jester mask from his face in front of an outsider...

But when this moment occurred, Xu Yang was utterly stunned. He had never dreamed that this comrade, with whom he had lived day and night, was actually a woman of angelic beauty. Had he not experienced so much alongside the Jester, Xu Yang would never have imagined that such a nearly perfect woman could be equated with someone who had such a tragic past. He also wouldn't have believed that such a gentle and peerless woman could have carried out the incredible killing games the Jester had once played.

At that moment, as the Jester removed the mask, it seemed as if all the past was left behind, ushering in a completely new chapter. She was no longer the Jester who delighted in slaughter, nor the most humble being who always hid in the shadows, silently weeping alone. The Jester, too, deserved a stage of her own, bathed in dazzling light.

Xu Yang quietly glanced at her, and with a gentle wave of his hand, an incredibly powerful golden light enveloped the Jester's body. It simultaneously melted away the circus performer's costume she wore, replacing it with a pristine, elegant, pure white gown.

"From today," Xu Yang declared, "you are no longer the Jester who entertained on stage, but an unrivaled princess on the path of cultivation! You shall have a new name: Xue! Holy and beautiful, possessing the purest color in this world. Xue'er, lift your head and give me a look full of confidence. All your past sins will be cleansed by me!"

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he took calm steps to stand before the avenger. He effortlessly lifted the man into the air, and without a word, directly stripped away the Seed of Vengeance from his mind. But that wasn't all. Xu Yang suddenly summoned the Devouring Seed, completely devouring all the chaotic thoughts in the young man's mind that he had learned from imitating the Jester.

Finally, when the man, whose clouded memories had been cleansed, stood up again, his eyes were filled with purity and clarity, completely devoid of the murky thoughts of the past. It was as if he had returned to his childhood, to the moment he first saw the Jester.

And when he smiled at Xu Yang, then looked at the exquisitely beautiful Xue'er, the young man, incredibly excited, ran towards her and knelt before her.

"My beautiful Princess," he declared, "from today onwards, I shall be your loyal knight, following in your footsteps for life and always looking to you as my guide."

The next moment, with Xu Yang's assistance, just as Xue'er received a pristine white gown, the young man also received a remarkably exquisite knight's armor and a precious sword to protect Xue'er.

Without a doubt, what should have been a tragedy was personally transformed by Xu Yang into a perfect story, with the most beautiful ending imaginable.

The next moment, Xu Yang gazed directly at the surrounding enclosed space, which rapidly collapsed in an instant. It was replaced by a serene battlefield filled with the light of dawn, appearing in their surroundings. This was a manifestation of Xu Yang's Law of Radiance. He brought endless light to the entire underwater Demon Sea legion and dispelled all the darkness from this place.

Soon, when Xu Yang returned with Xue'er and her exclusive knight to the main battlefield space where Vortex Goro and Lingyao were, all other members of the Honor Squad had already assembled. Meanwhile, in the main battlefield space, Vortex Goro and Lingyao were already exhausted from fighting, yet neither had stopped their killing spree. They seemed to be competing fiercely, trying to outdo each other in the number of spoils gained. As a result, none of their nearby teammates joined their battle; even if they collapsed from exhaustion on the battlefield, they were determined to decide a winner.

"Holy crap, Boss, who is this peerless beauty?" someone exclaimed. "Where did you find such a stunning girl?"

Xu Yang, intentionally wanting to play a joke, gestured towards Xue'er with his chin. "She's the Jester's sister, named Xue'er," he announced. "From today, she will replace the Jester as a member of our Honor Squad."

"Holy cow, Boss, you're not kidding us, are you?" Guglas and Liszt said, their faces baffled. "How can you come up with such a lame joke? Of course, we welcome this girl, but the Jester is our brother too. You wouldn't just abandon him like that!" They quickly spoke up, urging Xu Yang to stop joking.

Finally, it was Xue'er herself who revealed the truth, explaining the whole story clearly to everyone. She had finally unburdened herself, no longer hiding in the shadows and presenting herself as the Jester, but revealing her true appearance. In fact, it was the Jester's tragic childhood that had shaped her personality as an adult. But now, thanks to Xu Yang's help and the burgeoning, mutually supportive, family-like warmth of the entire Honor Squad, her personality had completely transformed, leading her to embrace a completely new path in life.

"Alright, Xue'er, your ability to hide was truly profound!" Guglas exclaimed. "We've known each other for so many years, and none of us ever realized you weren't a man. Liszt, you two often got drunk together in the past. Nothing happened between you two when you were drunk, did it?"

Liszt quickly interrupted Guglas. "Stop talking rubbish!" he retorted. "Can't you see we all have our own exclusive attendants now? Stop making such cheap jokes. Every one of us in the Honor Squad is a brother for life!"
