72 : Prince Ethan Got Beaten

Leaving the Rose Petal sect and their revelations behind, Eric made his way to the hill spot where Ria was cultivating. Two days of his absence had already elapsed, and he was eager to see her progress. As he crossed the barrier that Ria had set up to ensure privacy, his gaze immediately landed on her.

The rocky surface around her was scarred and weathered, testament to the time to her relentless training. Eric, observing this, quickly intervened, his voice laced with worry.

"Ria, stop! This is too much," he exclaimed as he approached her.
