Cedric nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything else. However, there was a provocative, mocking look in his eyes as he looked at Sebastian.Octavius turned and looked coldly at Sebastian. He asked in an icy tone, "Young man, are you going to surrender, or will you make me attack?"As the head elder of the Healer Sect, attacking a young man like Sebastian in public was already rather inappropriate. However, even martial arts practitioners wouldn't dare to protest against Octavius' decision. Several of them were already feeling sorry for Sebastian."Oh, what a pity. He's already at the level of the Celestial realm at such a young age. Why couldn't he just learn to endure?""Now that he's offended the Healer Sect, even his sect and mentor may not be able to save him."Some of the older martial arts practitioners shook their heads and sighed. They felt that Sebastian was now doomed to die, or at least be stripped of his training. When Sebastian didn't answer, Octavius' eyes
Bertie demanded, "How dare you treat the esteemed guest of the Warrior League so rudely? Are you disrespecting us? Do you really think that we wouldn't dare to cross you?""Don't forget that among the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects, there's also Medcity! If you think that you can force me to submit by threatening me with Breakthrough pills, then think again!" Bertie looked coldly at the Healer Sect members as he retorted. Before the Healer Sect members could speak, Drake stepped forward and said aggressively, "You are on the Warrior League's territory, and you laid hands on our guest. Do you want to start a war between our sects?" The Healer Sect members weren't the only ones shocked by what Drake had said. Even the onlookers could hardly believe their ears!Octavius was the head elder of the Healer Sect! Were the Warrior League really not afraid of getting blacklisted by the Healer Sect? If they were blacklisted, the Warrior League would have no hope of
"This is really just a misunderstanding, gentlemen!" Octavius exclaimed. He squeezed out a sliver of a smile and approached Bertie. He said, "Bertie, the Healer Sect and the Warrior League have always been on good terms. Why would we deliberately target your respected guest? "This young man just did not make his identity clear just now, which was why there were some unnecessary conflicts with the apprentices. Please be lenient, Bertie.""Lenient? If the two of them hadn't arrived, you would already have attacked me," Sebastian said, grinning mockingly. "That's right! The Healer Sect members were causing difficulties for Mr. Ballard on purpose!" As he spoke, Bertie waved at the Warrior League apprentices behind him. Before long, the stall owner was brought out in front of everyone. "Tell everyone loudly about what you know!" As soon as Bertie spoke, the stall owner hastily recounted what had happened. When he had finished, Bertie looked coldly at Avery, who was trembling viol
Bertie and Drake said nothing. They turned to look at Sebastian instead. If Sebastian was dissatisfied, even Octavius wouldn't be able to leave the place alive, especially since he had tried to resolve the matter by killing an unimportant apprentice. The atmosphere was suddenly tense. Everyone was holding their breath as they waited for Sebastian's final answer."Forget it. You can leave." Sebastian waved a hand at Octavius and the others. The Wraith Market was the Warrior League's territory. If he detained Octavius and the others here, the Healer Sect would be sure to battle the Warrior League to the death!Sebastian didn't want two large sects to shed blood for such a minor incident. Drake and Bertie frowned and asked, "Mr. Ballard, are you really going to let them go?" "Yes, Mr. Ballard. What if they try to get revenge in the future? Won't you be releasing an enemy out into the wild?" It was clear that neither Bertie nor Drake had expected Sebastian to let them live. T
Drake and Bertie knew exactly what Cedric was planning.Although the energy replenishing pills that Sebastian had given them were far better than the Breakthrough pills from the Healer Sect, whether or not the pills had been refined by Sebastian himself was something they had yet to confirm. Even if he had refined them, who could guarantee that Sebastian would be assured of victory against Cedric when it came to pill refining?After all, the Healer Sect had put a great deal of effort into training Cedric, and he was known as a young Refinist prodigy. If Sebastian made even the slightest mistake, he would end up in big trouble! "Okay, I'll take the bet. I just hope you won't go back on your word when the time comes," Sebastian said, smiling slightly. "Alright!" Cedric grinned maliciously and nodded as he said, "Tomorrow, 10:00 am at Greendrake Town. It's ten miles away from here. I hope you won't be late." Cedric threw back his head in laughter as he walked out of the crowd.
After that, Sebastian bought several other rare medicinal herbs from the Wraith Market to use in refining pills.Although the Wraith Market was the most renowned medicinal herb trading market among the mystic martial arts sects, someone like Sebastian was also a very rare customer. He didn't even ask about the price of each herb, and he was very generous. As Sebastian had bought a huge amount of herbs, all of which were very valuable, he would ordinarily be seen as easy prey.However, as he was accompanied by Bertie, Drake, and the rest of the Warrior League members, no one dared to raise their prices. Sebastian only returned to his lodgings after the sun had set. He was immensely satisfied. He casually tossed aside several sacks of medicinal herbs. Carefully taking out a rusty, palm-sized cauldron, he held it gently in the palm of his hand. He scrutinized it carefully, as if it were a precious treasure.Both Bertie and Drake looked curiously at the tiny cauldron. Finally, B
At Sebastian's current level, celestial pills were beyond him.After hearing Sebastian's description, both Bertie and Drake looked at him, their eyes shining. Prior to hearing this, they had been suspicious of where the energy replenishing pills had come from, but they no longer doubted that Sebastian had refined them."I didn't expect you to have the skills of a Refinist at such a young age, Mr. Ballard," Bertie said, looking awed.Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "Refining pills isn't actually that complicated. You just need to control the spiritual energy and the heat with your mind so that you can speed up the decomposition of the medicinal herbs in the medicine furnace. "However, Refinists have different levels of skill, so the effective components that remain at the end of the process also differ."Bertie and Drake both looked confused, so Sebastian didn't explain further. He weighed the cauldron in one hand and said firmly, "Rise!"The palm-sized cauldron rose up into t
After ten minutes or so, Sebastian felt as if he was sitting on a volcano. Every single pore in his body felt as if it would catch on fire.The air around Sebastian burst into flame, and even his clothes were burnt to ash. However, the extreme heat turned into extreme cold in just an instant.Layers of frost and ice coated Sebastian's body at once. It was the result of light and dark energy fighting for authority in Sebastian's body. After some time, the spiritual energy in Sebastian's body suddenly surged toward his limbs. Everything happened so suddenly that his skin cracked into deep fissures, unable to withstand the immense pressure.Blood seeped out of the cracks on his skin.Sebastian felt as if there were countless bugs and ants gnawing his body, and the pain made him wish that he was dead. Finally, after an hour, the cracks on Sebastian's body slowly healed as the two conflicting forces of spiritual energy merged into one.As Sebastian slowly opened his eyes, a powerfu
It was just the second attack, yet Blake had managed to injure Caleb so severely.Caleb clutched his left rib and bent over. It wasn't an act, because Blake knew how much force he had used in that move. He had broken at least two ribs with that punch.Ordinary people couldn't endure the pain of broken bones, especially if the ribs had been broken with blunt force. It would be extremely painful.Blake smiled slightly and asked, "You think you can injure Mr. Parham and get away with it? Hmph!"With a wide grin, he cracked his knuckles loudly. As Caleb watched Blake slowly walk over to him, he begged for mercy, his face twisted in pain. "Don't kill me! I didn't do it on purpose! Please spare me!"Caleb backed away as he spoke, but Blake was unmoved. His mission was to kill Caleb.As Blake moved closer, Caleb couldn't back away any further. When he was backed into a corner, Caleb's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Blake, walking toward him with deliberate steps.Everyone was
Caleb and Reuben were delighted at what Belinda had said. However, Saul shot them meaningful looks. Did they really think the Warrior League was easy to deal with, even without Sebastian?The Warrior League was filled with experts. If the two of them fought against them rashly, they would be sure to die."Wait!" Saul stepped forward to block Gary and the others."What now?" Belinda asked coldly."There are so many of you. If all of you fight against them while saying that it's a one-on-one battle, no one could withstand that! We need to set a limit, at least," Saul said seriously."We'll only fight three battles," Belinda said calmly.That meant that the Warrior League would only send three people, while Caleb and Reuben couldn't have anyone helping them.In other words, it was three against two. Still, they had to accept those conditions. It was the best they would get.Otherwise, Belinda only had to give the command and it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle, it would be a bloo
"Forget it. Since you didn't die, we won't pursue the matter further with you. We've already enjoyed that young woman anyway, so we won't punish you for your crime," Reuben said, grinning scornfully.They could tell that Belinda and the others had turned up in such a large group to get revenge on them.However, they had special identities. Would Belinda be bold enough to offend two hugely influential forces in Yvanton for the sake of an old man?Was the Warrior League really powerful enough to offend Yvanton? Besides, the Juwanian bishop in Yvanton was also renowned in the martial arts community."If the two of them have done anything disrespectful to the Warrior League, I apologize on their behalf. Yvanton is willing to compensate you for what happened today. You can name your price," Saul said seriously.Even he believed that Belinda and the others wouldn't dare push for revenge now. After all, who would dare to kill Jorvahn's grandson?Belinda scoffed. "So what if he's the Juw
Saul turned as pale as a sheet after hearing what Sebastian had said. He stared blankly at him for a long time before asking Belinda, "Madam Dragon, is this your intention as well?"Belinda nodded calmly and said, "Do you want one to die or everyone to die? You can decide."Saul took several deep breaths, but he didn't dare to answer her. It wouldn't be hard for the Warrior League to wipe all of them out. After all, they were in Dramon, and they were on the Warrior League's territory. Who would dare to oppose them?"Hurry! Tell Abraham and the others to get out here. If they're not here within five minutes, they'll be ordered to kill themselves!" Saul said to one of the Yvantonian men."No," Blake interjected coldly. "You no longer have five minutes. You have two minutes left!" He raised his right arm at the black-clad men around him. There was a clatter as the Warrior League members pulled out their weapons. In the glow of the moonlight, countless gleaming knives and swords sh
According to the Steinberg Martial Arts Court's arrangements, Warriors from various countries had been assigned to different areas. Yvanton had been placed in a villa in the mountains in the western suburbs. There were around 300 guest rooms there. Before the Warriors of Yvanton and the reporters had moved in, it had been emptied completely.The Yvantonian Warriors had lit campfires in the yard and were singing and dancing. Suddenly, a line of SUVs stopped at the entrance, and countless black-clad men surrounded the entire villa at once. Blake walked into the yard, looking murderous. He clasped his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Everyone, gather in the yard within five minutes. Those who are late or absent will be killed!""Killed!" Over 200 of the Warrior League martial arts experts yelled simultaneously. They were all at the third level of the Celestial realm.The Yvantonian Warriors and reporters in the yard all gave Blake looks of surprise."Hey, who are you? Why
Although Belinda had clashed with the Warrior League elders in the past, they had all watched her grow up and supported her in becoming the leader of the Warrior League.Belinda had been filled with grief and fury at the sight of a severely injured Edward, and she had suffered great torment. She felt as if a member of her family had been attacked and injured badly.Now, watching him regain consciousness, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes despite herself."Oh…" Edward murmured weakly before turning to look at Sebastian, who stood beside him. "Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I owe you my life." He coughed a few more times, but there was no longer any blood."You can all help Mr. Parham sit up. He still has some clotted blood in his system. Moving around will help him dislodge the blood, and it'll speed up his recovery," Sebastian said to the crowd. Elara and Blake hastily helped Edward up from the stretcher. The moment his feet touched the floor, he began coug
Sebastian was being so sincere to the members of the Warrior League. Even though their hearts had always been as hard as stone, they couldn't help but feel moved."Gentlemen, we got to know each other because of the conflict between us," Sebastian said with a smile. "I came here in a rush, but I've had some free time recently and I've prepared some energy replenishing pills. Send someone over tomorrow morning to get them from me."The Warrior League elders' eyes welled with gratitude. Anyone would want a friend like Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, if you need anything from us in the future, we will accept it. We'd go through hell and high water without complaint!""Yes, without complaint!" The moment the elders finished speaking, the rest of the Warrior League apprentices echoed their agreement in unison. "Mr. Ballard, you're the first person in a century to win the approval of all the Warrior League members!" Belinda said admiringly.The more she looked at Sebastian, the more she li
"Madam Dragon, don't worry. I'll do my best to save him," Sebastian assured her. He tossed the nine golden needles out casually. They seemed to have a soul of their own as they pricked over a dozen main acupuncture points on Edward's body.Finally, they sank into several main acupuncture points. The ends of the nine golden needles were quivering incessantly, emitting a faint buzzing sound.Maxwell couldn't help but gasp. He blurted, "The Nine Revival Needles!"It was a legendary, almost divine acupuncture technique. It was said that the famous healer Handock had built his reputation using this method.The first person who had used it was the miracle doctor Benzo, who had lived in the early Quorn era. However, the acupuncture technique had become lost after Ambroise. That was why no miracle doctors had emerged in Dramon ever since."Shut up!" Belinda snapped coldly.Maxwell immediately fell silent and stared unblinkingly at the nine golden needles on Edward's body.He was als
"We don't need to disturb them while they're resting. Let's go," Sebastian said, beckoning to Blake and Elara.Soon, they arrived at Ventus Estate. Bertie, Drake, Terry, and Gary were all crowded around a stretcher, wiping away their tears. Lying motionless on it was Edward.They had been friends for years. How could they just watch him die?"Everyone, move aside! Mr. Ballard is here!" Blake announced as he walked inside.The Warrior League members crowded around the door hastily moved aside, clearing a path for Sebastian and the others to walk through.Belinda was sitting in the main seat, looking as white as a sheet. Sebastian could sense her rage."Madam Dragon," he greeted, inclining his head slightly.Belinda turned to look at him and forced a smile. "Mr. Ballard, I'm sorry to trouble you yet again."He smiled slightly and replied, "As you've said, I'm a friend of the Warrior League."He walked over to Edward and bent down to examine him. Edward's eyes were tightly shut
