Chapter 2155 Soul Remnant
Just then, Matthew fell to the ground and began screaming in anguish. “Argh!”
“Master, Master!” Skyler had paled in fear as she continued shouting for Matthew.
Matthew's suffering only confirmed Archer's theory that Jared had intentionally harmed Luminous
Sect's leader. Naturally, Archer's attacks toward Jared intensified.
Jared knitted his brows in concern at Matthew's condition, muttering, “Have I made a mistake?”
“If anything happens to my mentor, I won't allow you to leave this place alive!” threatened Archer.
He sent another punch flying Jared's way, but this time, Jared's patience had run dry.
Jared could not afford to waste more time dodging Archer's attacks and swiftly seized the man's fist.
He said coolly to Archer, “The evil energy in your mentor's body is strange. I need to move closer to
check on him.”
“This is all your fault! How dare you approach our mentor!” The hot-headed Archer simply could not be

A second later, he was horrified to realize he could not retract his fist from Jared's iron grip.
Archer himself was a Martial Arts God. While he was nowhere near as powerful as Garthor, it was
inconceivable that Jared, a mere Martial Arts Saint, could so easily overpower him and hold his fist
hostage.
Before Archer could strike Jared with his free hand, Jared abruptly kicked him to the side.
Frankly, it was mortifying for a Martial Arts God to be played like a fiddle by Jared.
"I'm going to kill you!" bellowed Archer.
Fueled by humiliation and anger, Archer's martial energy exploded, and the room began to shake
under the weight of its menacing aura.
Jared shot Archer a furious glare and warned, “Go ahead if you want your mentor to die sooner.”
Right on cue, Skyler wailed helplessly, “Archer! Master's not going to make it. Oh no!”
Archer rushed toward them and said, “Master, you have to hold on! I'll bring you to Alchemical Sect
now. I'll pay any price for them to save you!”
Then, he lifted Matthew, ready to set off for Alchemical Sect.
Jared said to Archer, “If you bring your mentor away now, then he's truly bound for death. Just let me
check on him.”
This time, Skyler shouted furiously, "What good can you do when you've turned our mentor into this
sorry state?"
They were firmly entrenched in their beliefs that Matthew's condition was rapidly going south because
of Jared's energy expelling pill.
Exasperated, Jared argued, “You know, there are easier ways to sabotage your mentor...”
His argument was cut short when he noticed a black cloud gathering above Matthew's forehead.
Time was running out. Gold rays appeared on Jared's fingertips. He flicked his fingers and sent multiple
rays of golden light into Matthew's body.

Jared's frown deepened as the last of the golden rays embedded themselves in Matthew's body.
He mumbled, more to himself than anybody, “There was something off, after all. There's a soul remnant
in the evil energy.”
An anguished cry escaped Matthew, and black mist flew out of his gaping mouth.
The mist filled every inch of the room, clouding everyone's vision.
Jared shouted, “Bring your mentor away! Hurry!”
The appearance of the black mist struck Archer and Skyler dumb. Jared's shout snapped them out of
their trance, and they quickly carried Matthew out of the room.
The black mist swirled around Jared and gradually morphed into a human-like form.
Jared said sneeringly, "That was a bold attempt to stir up trouble, considering you’re a mere soul
remnant.”
The form stared at Jared and burst into laughter. “I'm impressed. I didn't expect a lowly Martial Arts
Saint to force me out of that person's body. Well, I may be a soul remnant now, but killing you is still
child's play for me! It's as easy as crushing an insect.”
“An insect?” Jared scoffed and retorted, "But this 'insect' forced you out of Mr. Campbell's body. Doesn't
that imply that you're even weaker than an insect?”
