Looking at the spaces around him, he became even more horrified by the chaos that was happening around. The abrupt interference by the evil woman had caused them to become even more agitated than before.
Ryan quickly dashed into the vortex which was right in front of him fearing that it would close anytime.
" Samantha told me that not more than two abilityless can appear in the same space but how did that woman manage to come and go as she pleased. Not to mention that she has a powerful ability at that. Did she lied to me? " He was confused.

Ryan realized he was standing before the large door where he left Mr Blind. " Whoa! At last! Ha! Ha! I have the book. I am baaaack! Hahahaha! " He cried in jubilation.
He recalled something that made his face darken instantly. " My watch. No! No! No! How will I get out of this planet? How will Mr Blind locate me now! Is he even around, I had stayed in that dimension for a freaking twenty years after all. " He looked at himself and luckily for him, he had not aged so much. Only some facial hair had grown slightly on his face.
His academy watch was destroyed together with his past body when he was being suppressed by the spaces. " Will I have to wait here for another group to appear before leaving with them? " He was so frustrated that he started kicking the nearby stones to the door like a ball.
Remembering that woman, he felt as if tinny needles were pricking his heart. He became restless and agitated as if something of his had been taken away. He felt ashamed and stupid that he just wanted to find something or someone he can vent his anger on.
" This torture! I know why I am feeling this way. I had felt it before. Haha! to think that I fell for her trap without knowing. Haha! Poor me. " He was dejected for being played. He can not help but just wanted to think of that woman every time. The heartbreak was killing him. " How can I turn down such vivacious beauty? Am I even a man or did I undergo a sex change? " He looked at his groin area and realized that he was not wearing anything since he got his new body but seeing his pintle still there, he heaved a sigh. " Did she also saw this? " His face turned red in embarrassment. " She must be thinking of me from where she is after seeing how fat I am down there, right? I need to find her! "
" Miao, did I made the right decision? " He asked the book again. He had named her Miao after pondering for a long time.
" I don't know if it is right or wrong in my opinion. Do you know that your previous body had her faint aura? The two of you ought to be close or in a relationship, that's why you have this stupid feelings towards her. " She answered nonchalantly.
" That is impossible! Since I came to this world, I had never met someone that powerful and evil. Unless..."
He pondered for a moment as he scrunched his face and frowned even further.
" Unless what? "
" Uuummh! don't mind. She can not be such kind of person. " He answered doubtfully fearing being cheated on while shaking his head in refusal.
' She is innocent, isn't she? '

Ryan sat 50 metres away from the big gate while he thought of a way out. He was becoming restless, panicky and emotional. " I will have to wait for the next group to accompany them out of here. " Where he was, he can still feel many unknowns eying his every move from the darkness. " As long as they don't make a move, I will ignore them. "
He let his consciousness appear in his soul space and found the book on top of the lectern in his chalet house. He caressed its cover as he feels its smooth eye-catching ridges with a satisfying smile.
His brows knitted as he tried to open it. " Why are you not opening? " He struggled to open it with all his strength as veins popped out of his head but the book didn't budge.
Realization dawn on him as he inspected it kinly before noticing the only strange thing on it was the hole on the middle of its front cover.
He picked up the green divine stone he obtained from killing Ra Hul and inserted it into the hole curiously in anticipation. A green blinding light radiated from the hole making it look like he was holding a holy book which made him astounded as he grinned foolishly like a maniac expectantly.
After the stone was fully absorbed, the book flipped its pages while Ryan immersed himself in reading its contents and also memorizing the pictures displaying the moves of the explained content. He realized that the content he had read ingrained deeply in his mind becoming a part of him. It was truly magical.
The divine stone allowed him to read the contents of the cultivation manual for mortal tier realm only as more content on higher cultivation manuals was locked.
" Does this mean I have to find another stone? "
" Where will I find them in this planet? "
