Chapter 802 William, you really had me fooled!
The meat of the five-colored mutant python was well-marinated, and Silas had already tentatively used the Fireball spell dozens of times.
William only occasionally glanced over at him.
It was just a simple use of basic magic, really,there was no danger involved, just a matter of efficiency.
Silas fully demonstrated the potential of his Divine Constitution, casting Fireballs faster and faster. In just a short while, he was able to release a dozen fireballs with a single gesture.
Ordinary people rely on mental power to cast magic, and Soulmancers meditate to train this mental power. Some powerful Soulmancers might look frail, but with strong mental power, they can sit still, think, and continuously unleash thousands of spells, capable of breaking through armies of tens of thousands and destroying thousands of mountains.
Although Silas possessed a Divine Constitution, he hadn't undergone systematic training,he had merely become powerful by drinking Nectar to stimulate his physical potential.
His mental power wasn't particularly strong.
Continuously using the Fireball spell, Silas's complexion had turned somewhat pale, but William didn't call a halt, so he was unwilling to stop, even with a splitting headache, continuing to cast the spell over and over.
William didn't find anything strange about this. If one couldn't even persist through this, how were they any different from those web novelists who update sporadically?
The snake meat was marinated, and William began by slightly pouring olive oil into the pan, adding the marinated snake meat along with scallions, garlic, and rosemary to lightly sauté.
Most people would think to make snake meat soup with water and seasonings, but William believed that lightly sautéing the meat of the five-colored mutant python was even more delicious.
The snake meat was tender,it only needed the right heat. Just drizzle some soy sauce and quickly stir-fry for fifteen seconds before plating with Lemon Herb Sauce, and a delicious dish of stir-fried snake meat was ready.
"Silas, you can come and eat now." William waved Silas over, who was visibly exhausted. If he didn't replenish his energy soon, he might just faint on the spot.
Smelling the aroma and hearing William's call, Silas staggered on the spot, nearly falling, gasping heavily.
William was already seated, thinking if Silas fainted, would he have to eat alone?
That would be something...
Delicious!
Silas's vision darkened, he supported himself with one hand on the ground, but clenched his teeth as his vision slowly cleared and a rush of blood went to his head, marking his first breakthrough in mental power.
"He didn't faint," William grinned. "If you're okay, come over and eat."
At that moment, Silas's mind felt warm and fuzzy, excitedly sitting across from William, somewhat shyly looking at him and whispering, "Thank you, Mr. Johnson."
William laughed, "Boy, speak up next time, don't be so timid."
"Okay!" Silas nodded vigorously, his eyes showing a new resolve.
"Let's eat." William didn't waste words, already picking up his knife and fork.
Silas's past experiences had left him somewhat insecure, but to William, that was nothing. Regaining confidence was the start of a new life.
...
This experience was truly a reboot for Silas's life.
In the Doors of Evolution, human elites had ventured in.
Initially, they were just looking for Amy and Walker, but later, discovering a mysterious tower filled with treasures, who wouldn't want them?
The arrival of Ares and Evelyn undoubtedly brought new support to Amy and Walker. What would have taken at least half a month to clear, they completed swiftly with their help, securing all the treasures within the tower.
"Nice!" William sensed that Amy and her team had cleared the tower and sent them back to the Arcane Village base.
Amy and her team had indeed brought back quite a haul.
The base of Arcane Village was experiencing an unprecedented boom.
Although Ares had also gone to the Doors of Evolution, the treasures from the tower were mostly in Amy's possession.
"Mr. Johnson, when did you come out of the Doors of Evolution?" Amy had guessed that William was very powerful, but she thought he would be waiting outside the tower for her.
When she came out, she didn't see William.
She had performed so well, and William hadn't even praised her...William ruffled her hair, saying, "You guys didn't come out of the tower, so I came back first."
Amy, like a pampered pup, was thrilled to be petted, her eyes sparkling as she looked at William, "I got everything from inside."
"Oh, not bad. What do you plan to do with those things?" William considered the items from the tower treasures for ordinary people, but to him, they were nothing special. If Amy liked them, she could keep them all for herself.
Even if Amy did that, William wouldn't think any less of her character.
He almost regarded Amy as his own daughter,not only did he not think there was anything wrong with her actions, but he would also protect her even if there were.
"Of course, I'll give them to Commander Samuel. Commander Samuel will definitely praise me."
Amy was indeed the darling of many, equipped with secret techniques and top-tier artifacts. The items from the tower, although curious, were not something a playful child would actively learn. She was already struggling to keep up with the secret techniques taught by her two masters. How could such a clever girl burden herself with a pile of secret technique books?
As for the weapons, she didn't care for them, possibly only liking the bunch of red fruits.
"So many secret technique books, aren't you planning to pick a couple to take back and learn?" William raised an eyebrow at Amy, knowing well what the little girl was thinking.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Amy pouted at William, popping a Red Flame Fruit into her mouth.
She had said she would give all the items to Samuel, but before that, why not enjoy a few more red fruits?
William wouldn't push Amy to learn more.
She was just a child, and learning some self-defense from the likes of Poseidon was good enough. Anything more was unnecessary.
William hadn't planned on involving Amy in saving the world.
Amy was still scared of bloodshed,saving the world was out of the question.
Walker, standing nearby, hearing William's words, was even more convinced of William's immense strength.
He was now certain!
The Doors of Evolution, was it really a place where you could leave whenever you wanted?
Even demi-god level beings couldn't freely enter and exit the Doors of Evolution, but William had left early. What did that imply?
"William, you really had me fooled!" Walker finally couldn't hold back and spoke up after seeing William.
"I never lied to you." William had never truly deceived Walker,he had even repeatedly told Walker how powerful he was, but Walker hadn't believed him. Who was to blame for that?
