A Man Like None Other

Chapter 2239 Breakthrough

Witnessing the Spirit Connecting Tree withering before his very eyes, Elgado came to a realization.

Sh*t! I can't believe he’s draining power from the Spirit Connecting Tree! It finally occurred to him that Jared was attempting to claim the strength of the Spirit Connecting Tree as his own.

After all, the energy within Spirit Connecting Tree was far more potent than any Spirit Connecting Fruit could ever offer.

No, he'll never attain yet another breakthrough—not on my watch! Elgado let out a holler so deafening that clouds of black mist emerged and engulfed his body.

Immediately afterward, he barreled in the crater's direction.

As he charged ahead, leaves fell from above and whirled past him, triggering fiery sparks of light.

Skyler, in turn, could somewhat tell what Elgado was up to.
