Valentina happily nodded as she pulled Yuria along towards the bed to let Yuria augment her ethereal core.

Damien keenly looked on as he saw Yuria holding Valentina's hands and letting her ethereal energy slip into Valentina's system.

Valentina didn't resist in the slightest, letting Yuria's ethereal energy flow towards her ethereal core easily.

Yuria's ethereal energy reached Valentina's ethereal core and covered it like a cocoon, making Valentina grimace slightly, but her expression relaxed the next moment upon feeling a surge of energy spreading from her chest.

Valentina's aura began to grow at a slow rate, but as seconds passed, the density of her aura began to get thicker at a faster rate, making Damien continue to look on with widened eyes because he could notice that Valentina was undergoing something similar to a breakthrough.

Within a minute, Valentina's cultivation had temporarily broken through to the sixth level of the Earth Ethereal Realm.

Within the next minute, she was already nearing the eighth level of the Earth Ethereal Realm, and finally, as the minutes passed, the rate at which her aura was becoming thicker began to slow down as her cultivation neared the Sky Ethereal Realm.

*BANG!*

The sound of her ethereal core breaking past its limits forcibly sounded out as Valentina entered the Sky Ethereal Realm, making Damien shake his head in awe though he knew her cultivation would return back to her original one after a while.

"Whew...it's done…" Yuria said with a cheerful smile as she wiped the bead of sweat that trickled down her forehead.

"I could make this process faster and more effective once I get used to it I guess…" Yuria mumbled as she laid down on the bed with an exhausted look.

"Wow...I really gained multiple levels in a short time…" Valentina mumbled in a surprised tone as she checked out her own cultivation.

"You are amazing, Yuria," Damien said with a proud look as he sat beside her and caressed her head.

Yuria's cheeks reddened as she enjoyed his loving caress while Valentina said, "I will then quickly go and see what's happening before the effect wears off."

Damien nodded, "Go...but be careful and remember to call us for help if you need it no matter what."

Valentina nodded and quickly left the tent as she activated her invisibility ability.

She immediately rushed towards Farah's tent and saw that few guards were standing guard outside.

But she wasn't worried about them since she could walk in right through the front before phasing through the ethereal defense formation.

However, her soul energy was getting depleted at a fast rate, making her already feel exhausted.

Still, she managed to phase through the defensive formation, but the moment she got inside, she was surprised to see Tristen tied up around a pole with a rune mark on his forehead while Farah was sitting cross-legged before him as if she was busy in meditation.

However, she noticed a faint ethereal green strand between Tristen's head and Farah's head as the runic mark on his forehead continued to glow green.

'What is going on??' Valentina was utterly confused by what Farah was doing.

Her invisibility was about to wear off within fifteen seconds, and Valentina was in the dilemma of taking out Farah now or simply reporting back what she saw.

Valentina bit her lip as she finally decided to take down Farah by using the needle Damien had given her before to put people to sleep.

She sneaked behind Farah with the needle in her hand and made a stabbing motion towards her neck.

But just as her needle was about to touch Farah's neck, an ethereal green barrier stopped Valentina's needle, making her widen her eyes.

And before she could think what to do now, Farah suddenly opened her eyes with a frown and grabbed the Will Protector's arm. The ethereal green strand between her forehead and Tristen's forehead disappeared.

"You! I knew it!"

"Get off me!" Valentina's invisibility came off as she crossed her limit though she was in a tight situation seeing that Farah had opened her eyes and caught her.

"The Will Protector...to fool others by working for a corpse...Tell me...who your Master is? Who are you really working for?" Farah said as she got up, and her grip tightened around the Will Protector's wrist.

Valentina was still using the Mask of Mischief, because of which Farah had no idea of her true identity.

Valentina's expression became grave, thinking that she messed it up and if Damien might get in trouble.

But she then thought that she could still salvage this situation as long as she suppresses Farah first.

Valentina lowered her head and bit Farah's hand with all her jaw strength, letting her fangs pierce through Farah's skin like butter.

"AAHH!!" Farah cried out in pain, feeling a burning yet stinging sensation spreading from her hand and throughout her body.

But she had no idea that Valentina was using her ethereal blood arts to immobilize Farah by making her blood hinder the flow of ethereal energy through her body which would essentially weaken her to a great extent.

"You wild bitch!" Farah grabbed Valentina's hair but couldn't budge her head no matter how much strength she tried to put in.

She even tried to circulate her ethereal energy to the maximum, but the Will Protector was doing something that was causing her ethereal energy to not flow through her body like usual, which was preventing her from using her abilities to the fullest.

She was also beginning to feel dizzy and knew that if the Will Protector continued to bite onto her hand, then she might not stay conscious for longer.

She had no idea why her teeth were so sharp and how this girl had so much strength, but she was determined to not lose out here since otherwise, all her plans would get ruined.

She also didn't dare to call for help since what she was doing was not something others should know, making it even more difficult for her to take care of this situation on her own.

"You think my ethereal core is my strength?" Farah scoffed as she pressed the girl's forehead with her finger, making her eyes flicker.
