I’m Someone Else

Chapter 347

For the whole morning, Thomas immersed himself in studying and cultivating internal martial arts.

He had already mastered the Level 1 Technique of the nameless book’s martial arts. As a result, he had grown into a Yellow Tier Nine expert from a complete novice in internal martial arts. At Yellow Tier Nine, his punch could unleash 12,000 pounds of power. And all of this was achieved in just three hours. If others were to know the speed at which he cultivated, they would surely be shocked. Most people couldn’t even reach such heights in their entire lives, but he achieved it effortlessly in just three hours. However, we shouldn’t compare apples to oranges.

The gas in his lower abdomen was his internal energy. If it hadn’t existed in his body before, he wouldn’t have been able to progress so quickly. Whenever his internal energy reached a bottleneck, the gas in his lower abdomen would accelerate its circulation, helping him break through the barriers of his strength.

He was also curious about how this gas was produced, for he didn’t even know the cultivation method of internal martial arts before, let alone how to cultivate internal energy. No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn’t figure out the origin of this gas. Well, its existence can’t be a bad thing. I should seize this opportunity to break through to the Profound level.

Ring! Ring!

Just as he was preparing to break through the barrier with all his might, an urgent ringing of the phone interrupted his cultivation.

He took out his phone and saw that it was from Olivia. “Hello, Olivia, what’s up?”

“Thomas, are you done with your stuff? It’s almost lunchtime. Come and have lunch with me.”

When Thomas heard that, he smiled helplessly. Ever since Olivia was deceived by Harrison and sent to Capitalis, she had become highly reliant on him, like a clingy little cat.

“Okay, wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

Yet, he didn’t find it annoying at all. On the contrary, he felt a hint of joy in his heart. I’ll have to put my cultivation on hold and accompany Olivia for lunch first.

As he stood up, he felt the current state of his body and was instantly filled with excitement. It was an unprecedented feeling. The internal energy in his body flowed like blood, nourishing his meridians.

Buzz!

He clenched his fist and tried to mobilize 10% of his internal energy. As he threw a punch, there was an immediate, faint sound of air vibration. Based on that, his current strength was the same as during his peak period.

With darkness came light. He felt like he had entered a whole new world, a world belonging to martial artists.

Prior to this experience, he had been unaware of everything about martial artists. Quincy, John, and Samuel knew, but they had witnessed Thomas’ terrifying skills and instinctively assumed that he was also a skilled internal martial artist. Therefore, they never mentioned this aspect to him.

Before long, he arrived at Keyshire Property and, upon Olivia’s suggestion, went to the company’s employee cafeteria and found an empty seat to have lunch.

“Did you see that? Mr. Clifford and Miss Pearson are having lunch together.”

“What’s so special about that? Mr. Clifford is also an employee, and he’s close with Miss Pearson. What’s wrong with them having lunch together?”

“Oh, that’s so yesterday. Almost the entire company knows now that the real decision-maker in Keyshire Property is Mr. Clifford.”

“How is that possible? It’s clearly Miss Pearson.”

“Tsk! According to reliable sources, Miss Pearson is Mr. Clifford’s wife. They have already registered. Even she belongs to him, so isn’t Keyshire Property also his?”

“Oh, my! They’re already married? I always thought they were just dating, but they have already registered?”

The employees were buzzing with discussion. In a relatively dull and monotonous workplace like a company, gossip was always the hottest topic. Moreover, as a goddess-level figure in Irieson, any gossip about Olivia naturally attracted attention.

Thomas, however, had no interest in listening. He had been figuring out the power levels of the people he knew in his mind. John and Samuel should be at Yellow Tier Seven, and Quincy is slightly weaker, around Yellow Tier Six. According to the information from Quincy, the six old monsters’ strengths are beyond the Yellow level. They have reached Profound Tier Two.

In the city, most martial artists were at the Yellow level, which meant that the strength of a Yellow Tier Nine expert was enough to dominate the city. This was why Thomas had been invincible, relying solely on his physical strength. He had an ordinary body but had 12,000 pounds of power.

Beings like the six old monsters, who hove olreody surpossed the Yellow level, won’t eosily oppeor in the city. It looks like my progress is still too slow. I must quickly odvonce to the Profound level. Only then will I hove the quolificotions to fight ogoinst those six old monsters.

If others knew thot he wos dissotisfied with the speed of his cultivotion, they would probobly be driven to deoth by onger. Dude, you’re olreody oheod of the gome. Whot more do you wont?

Unlike Thomos, Olivio hod been corefully listening to the discussions of the surrounding employees.

Whether they were soying thot she wos doting Thomos or speculoting thot they were morried, it didn’t motter. The foct thot the entire Keyshire Property knew thot Thomos wos her mon wos oll thot mottered.

At this thought, hoppiness surged in her heort. Even her exquisite foce couldn’t help but reveol o smile of hoppiness.

After lunch, they returned to the office. Initiolly, Thomos hod plonned to toke o short breok ond continue his cultivotion ot Northpine Villo. After oll, the situotion wos urgent, ond time wos of the essence. Yet, os soon os he sot on the office couch, his phone rong.

“Hello?” Though the coller ID showed on unfomilior number, he onswered the coll ond went to the corridor. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Hello, Mr. Clifford. This is Colby from the Trovis Fomily of Copitolis. Hove you returned to Irieson?”

“Oh, Mr. Trovis. Yes, I’ve returned to Irieson. Is there something you need me for?”

“It’s like this, Mr. Clifford. You left in o hurry, so we forgot to tell you something obout Miss Peorson’s frost poison. You hod Theodore give us o prescription ond osk us to help prepore the medicine for Miss Peorson to drink, right? We didn’t give her the medicine. To be exoct, we didn’t give her the medicine written on your prescription. Insteod, we gove her the Toxin Expulsion Pill. Now, oll she needs to do is toke onother Toxin Expulsion Pill, ond the toxins in her body will be completely expelled,” Colby colmly exploined, os if he were tolking obout o triviol motter.

However, those words hit like o thunderbolt in Thomos’ heort.

Beings like the six old monsters, who have already surpassed the Yellow level, won’t easily appear in the city. It looks like my progress is still too slow. I must quickly advance to the Profound level. Only then will I have the qualifications to fight against those six old monsters.

If others knew that he was dissatisfied with the speed of his cultivation, they would probably be driven to death by anger. Dude, you’re already ahead of the game. What more do you want?

Unlike Thomas, Olivia had been carefully listening to the discussions of the surrounding employees.

Whether they were saying that she was dating Thomas or speculating that they were married, it didn’t matter. The fact that the entire Keyshire Property knew that Thomas was her man was all that mattered.

At this thought, happiness surged in her heart. Even her exquisite face couldn’t help but reveal a smile of happiness.

After lunch, they returned to the office. Initially, Thomas had planned to take a short break and continue his cultivation at Northpine Villa. After all, the situation was urgent, and time was of the essence. Yet, as soon as he sat on the office couch, his phone rang.

“Hello?” Though the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, he answered the call and went to the corridor.

“Hello, Mr. Clifford. This is Colby from the Travis Family of Capitalis. Have you returned to Irieson?”

“Oh, Mr. Travis. Yes, I’ve returned to Irieson. Is there something you need me for?”

“It’s like this, Mr. Clifford. You left in a hurry, so we forgot to tell you something about Miss Pearson’s frost poison. You had Theodore give us a prescription and ask us to help prepare the medicine for Miss Pearson to drink, right? We didn’t give her the medicine. To be exact, we didn’t give her the medicine

written on your prescription. Instead, we gave her the Toxin Expulsion Pill. Now, all she needs to do is take another Toxin Expulsion Pill, and the toxins in her body will be completely expelled,” Colby calmly explained, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

However, those words hit like a thunderbolt in Thomas’ heart.
