Chapter 149: Publicity stunt
Lucas could only dumbly look at this scene with his eyes wide as saucers, his mind unable to comprehend the scene in front of his eyes.
Meanwhile, inside David\'s Spiritual Space:
The Golden Mana sea shook with occasional waves rising higher and higher. The Triquetra continued to pour mana from outside at an incredible rate.
Beside the Crystallization of Life was a round seed as big as a ripe watermelon, glowing in resplendent light. It wouldn\'t be long before it could finally germinate.
Moreover, after the sun appeared, the Law Seed\'s growth speed had increased tremendously; coupled with the enormous amount of mana present in the spiritual space, all these conditions ensured the Law seed could germinate as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, the space around the Crystallization of Life shivered, and a disheveled Nascent soul appeared like a venomous ghost.
"Fuck you, bastard," the Young Monk cursed while gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with extreme anger.
"Bastard, once I take over your body, the first thing I\'m going to do is pound your mother to death." The Young Monk hatefully roared inside the spiritual space, his voice causing the mana below his feet to vibrate.
Never in his life before had the young monk suffered such a crushing defeat, and by a cultivator with less cultivation than him, no less.
If such words got out and spread, he could forget about taking over the managerial position.
Suddenly, the Young Monk\'s train of thought stopped, and he looked up.
A luminous Sun appeared in his vision.
"Did you think this mere Nine Sun Heavens Locking formation would be able to stop me?" Young Monk muttered in disdain. As someone who had cultivated to the Nascent soul realm at such a young age, he too was aware of this particular technique.
Just as these words had come out of his mouth, his Nascent soul had started to vaporize.
"Argh! What is happening?" Young Monk shouted, his voice filled with the indescribable pain of being cooked alive.
In desperation, he tried to mobilize his spiritual power and summon the dragon to protect himself. However, the next moment his expression turned extremely ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.
The more he tried to resist being vaporized alive, the more helpless he became.
Just as he was about to beg for mercy, with a slight bang, his Nascent soul exploded and turned into a puff of smoke before flying high in the sky and merging with the Sun in the sky.
Soon, tranquility once again returned to the spiritual space with only the sound of waves crashing against each other.
In that moment, the space where the Young Monk had just been standing flickered, and David\'s spiritual body appeared.
He had also appeared in the spiritual space right after Young Monk appeared but decided to hide himself and watch how the Nine Sun Heavens Locking formation was going to take care of the invader.
The result was beyond his expectations; it was almost unbelievable. It felt as if the sun had devoured the Young Monk.
But according to the technique description, it was only supposed to imprison the invader and allow David to deal with the invader as he pleased.
Sigh!
David sighed, unable to comprehend the situation. The technique seemed to have gone through a profound change after one of the sun tattoos had merged with the sun created by the Nine Sun Heavens Locking formation.
Hmm! Just as David was about to return to reality, he frowned. His soul suddenly seemed to have been strengthened. He also received bits and pieces of information.
"Young Master of the Whitetooth Lion family."
"Tch! No wonder this guy acted all arrogant and haughty." David muttered, his eyes flashing with understanding. He seemed to have absorbed the Young Monk\'s soul with the help of the Sun hanging up in the spiritual space sky.
David sighed once again and disappeared.
Not caring about the Young Master or his super powerful family, as it was pointless worrying about things he couldn\'t control, moreover the city where the Young Monk was situated was extremely far away from Nightblade city.
So David didn\'t have to worry about the problem for the time being.
Shaking his head in annoyance, he focused back on reality.
"Manager, how do we take care of the bodies?" David heard Sebastian\'s question as soon as he opened his eyes.
Both Old Monk and Young Monk had fallen to the ground and were lost in between the greenery.
Now that David knew that the Young Monk came from a formidable family, he decided to be a little careful.
Without answering Sebastian\'s question, he blinked a couple of times and made his way towards the ground.
In the thick foliage, he was easily able to find the two corpses.
Immediately, without even thinking, he sold them to the bank for one million low-grade spirit stones for the Old Monk and half a million for the Young Monk.
It took a moment for David to understand why he got such a low amount for the Young Monk, but after thinking for a moment, he remembered the incident inside his Spiritual space.
So he didn\'t pursue the matter further.
David blinked and left after taking care of the corpses.
Just after David left, a small petite beast similar to a leopard from Earth suddenly walked out and looked towards the sky with hunger in its eyes.
Of course, David had nothing to do with this little leopard; he was once again back in the sky chatting with Sebastian.
He told him about the Young Monk\'s family situation. Hearing the matter, Sebastian\'s face turned serious.
Lucas, who heard the discussion, had a confused expression on his face. He seemed to not have heard about the Whitetooth Lion family.
However, David didn\'t dare to stay at this place any longer; the fight was definitely going to attract attention, so this was no longer safe. Without hesitating any longer, David left along with Lucas and Sebastian.
While moving, David paid the bank, and a status report appeared in front of him.

David closed the window after not seeing any changes other than his comprehension of Greater Law of Annihilation.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly he muttered. He seemed to have overlooked one thing.
His spiritual space had grown once more.
Realizing this fact, David\'s eyes widened automatically in shock.
"How is this possible?" David muttered under his breath.
The Spiritual Space stopped growing at Foundation Building; he had never heard about anyone who managed to increase the length of their Spiritual Space at the Golden and Nascent Soul realm.
But after a while, he calmed down. His spiritual space had doubled in length when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, so it shouldn\'t be surprising if it managed to grow again.
Time continued to flow like water without care for anyone; in the blink of an eye, two years passed.
"Dang! I am 26 years old today," David said while sipping on a cup of coffee.
The bank was empty as usual without any customers. It was alright in the beginning, but now it was starting to become a little depressing.
A few customers who had visited in the past two years left once they saw the sky-high interest rates.
"It is becoming harder to do business these days because people don\'t want to give newly risen financial institutions a chance." David took a sip and thought gloomily.
"Maybe I should do a publicity stunt someday to increase the bank\'s reputation." David went through hundreds of strategies in his head to make the business up and running, but none seemed feasible in the short term.
If it weren\'t for the coffee sales which were touching new highs, he might have already been on the road begging for food.
Suddenly, a blue window which David was already familiar with appeared in front of him.
[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.
Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow, therefore his soul was captured. You now have the following options, keep in mind that you can only choose one.
1 - Extract Client\'s Crystallion of Life (Supreme learner, Grade - Earthly King)
2 - Extract John\'s memories from his birth till his death.
3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime.
4- Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life.
Please note as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana because of which you only have two days left to make a choice.]
