At this moment, Tanner Shaw was brimming with excitement. He hurriedly led Evan Yang to another secret chamber. Having never seen an Immortal artifact before, he was thrilled by Evan's description of the gauntlet's power and couldn't wait to see it for himself.
Evan Yang took out the gauntlet. He hadn’t examined it closely before, but now that he did, he realized there was nothing particularly special about its appearance—only the aura it emitted was different.
"I finally get to see an Immortal artifact!" Tanner Shaw exclaimed excitedly as he took the gauntlet.
"I really have to thank you today. Otherwise, the Santos would have gotten it for nothing." Evan Yang said with a smile.
"Good thing I had the foresight. If the Santos had really gotten it, that would have been a disaster. This is a gauntlet that doubles your attack!" Tanner said in delight.
"Its power is indeed impressive. If nothing unexpected happens, it should let you unleash twice your usual strength." Evan Yang laughed after estimating the burst of power from earlier.
"Twice is already pretty good. Sometimes, when fighting someone at the same realm, a treasure like this can make all the difference." Tanner Shaw laughed.
Evan Yang smiled, but inwardly he wondered what people’s reactions would be if they knew about the Starheart Method. So, while Tanner was amazed by the gauntlet’s doubling effect, Evan wasn’t nearly as impressed—he could now reliably unleash twenty times his normal attack, and occasionally even fifty times, though the odds of that happening had gotten lower than before.
He wasn’t sure why, but Evan was certain that the deeper he got into the Starheart Method, the harder it became to trigger those bursts—unless he had overwhelming strength to back it up.
After examining the gauntlet, Tanner handed it back to Evan and said, "You must keep this secret. Don’t tell anyone—right now only you and I know. Not even my dad. I’m afraid he’ll get too excited and accidentally leak it to others."
Evan Yang took back the gauntlet. "Yeah, I know," he replied.
With this treasure, your self-defense is much stronger. Those Black Hand Syndicate killers won't be able to approach you so easily anymore," Tanner Shaw said with a smile.
Evan Yang nodded as he put away the gauntlet, but secretly thought, "Even if an early Out-of-Body Realm expert showed up, I wouldn't be afraid."
Not knowing what Evan was really thinking, Tanner felt relieved and said, "If anyone asks what happened just now, just say you suddenly had a breakthrough while cultivating and blasted the wall. Leave the rest to me."
"Thanks," Evan said, nodding.
Tanner went off to handle the aftermath with the staff, while Evan, eager to test the treasure, decided not to risk being seen and headed for the outskirts.
Evan left the Shaw estate, then departed Purple Sky City. After flying for about half an hour, he found a quiet, densely forested mountain area.
Landing in front of a mountain, Evan took out the gauntlet and put it on, grinning. "Let's see how powerful it is!"
Without hesitation, Evan threw a full-force punch at the mountain before him.
Boom! A crack appeared in the mountain—a result of Evan stacking the gauntlet with his twenty-fold attack for a forty-fold effect.
