The Subtle Use of the Sky‑Piercing Tower

Evan Yang himself couldn't explain it, but he felt an unusual closeness to this creature—a strong urge to help it. Yet with his current strength, stepping out would only mean facing a harsh lesson from that Huang Clan expert.

After a brief standoff between the creature and the Huang Clan expert, the creature's aura suddenly surged.

"Burning its life force?" The Huang Clan expert was shocked, quickly assuming a defensive posture. Even from a distance, Evan could sense the explosive rise in energy.

"That's terrifying." Evan hadn't expected the creature to pull such a move at the very end.

Boom! Evan watched as the creature rammed forward. The Huang Clan expert, despite his prepared defense, was forced back several steps, blood seeping from wounds on his arm where the skin had been torn.

The creature was in even worse shape, barely clinging to life. Just as Evan thought it would die right there, a voice sounded: "Help me take care of my child."

Evan stared in shock at the creature, seeing its eyes fixed directly on him.

"It can see me?" Evan was startled. The Huang Clan expert clearly hadn't noticed Evan, only glancing in his direction before scoffing at the creature, "Overestimating yourself. Let's see what tricks you have left!"

The creature ignored him completely, keeping its gaze on Evan and saying, "I'm leaving it to you."

Just as Evan wondered what was being entrusted to him, a massive egg—thick as two adults' arms—shot out from the creature's mouth and flew toward him.
