There was a sudden bang as the strings of the harpsichord broke. An icy expression stole over Jade's face. She turned slightly and said coldly, "Who is it? Haven't I told you that no one is to disturb me while I'm meditating?" Juniper was so scared that she lowered her head at once and said softly, "Ms. Bourne… S-Sebastian wants to see you.""Him?" Hearing that name again after four years made Jade's heart tremble. It was as if a pebble had been dropped into a calm lake, sending ripples across the surface.There was barely concealed excitement on her pretty face. She got up and stepped out of the tower as she said, "Where is he? Take me to him, quickly…"Jade took a few steps before realizing that something was wrong. She suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Um… take him to the Bloom Hall to see me."Jade hurried off. Juniper watched her leave. She went to see Callista, feeling conflicted, and whispered a few words in her ear. Callista's expression changed, but she suppressed
Sebastian stepped up to her and reached out to wipe away the tears on Jade's cheek, but he did not say anything. The previous leader of the Garden of Bloom had created an opportunity for them to interact alone for close to three months so that they could set them up for marriage. However, Sebastian had always thought of Jade as a younger sister. He had no romantic feelings toward her at all.He did not want to hurt her pride, so he had hidden his true feelings in his heart. "Seb, I have an idea. The ice emerald bed in the back mountains might be able to suppress the fire venom in your body. Come with me!" Jade's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Sebastian's hand and was about to bring him there. "Jade, the ice emerald bed will not be able to suppress the fire venom in my body. Don't worry, I have a solution." Sebastian paused. He pulled out his hand from Jade's and smiled as he said, "Jade, I came here for a friend. I want to make a special request for the Dreamfyre. All his
Jade reached out to open the box. A refreshing scent immediately filled the hall. A glow that seemed to be filled with rainbows hovered about three inches above the petals—red, orange, green, blue, cerulean, indigo, purple.The seven petals surrounded the center of the flower, just like stars clustering around the moon. Seven buds in the center of the flower that were the size of pearls shone. They were translucent and seemed to glow with a celestial light. The moment the Dreamfyre appeared, there was a cry of amazement in the hall. Everyone was mesmerized by the wondrous sight!"Jade, I'm borrowing this Dreamfyre from you. I'll be sure to return one that looks exactly the same," Sebastian said seriously as he took the box. "Hmph. The Dreamfyre only blooms once every hundred years. It will only bloom again in another century. Where are you going to get one that looks exactly the same?" Callista asked, her eyes filled with angry tears. She could not suppress the rage in her hear
Everyone turned to look behind them. Sebastian walked slowly and confidently into the arena from the entrance. Although there were thousands of pairs of eyes on him, he looked perfectly calm. Whitney looked at Sebastian. She pressed her lips together and did not say anything.Mabel and Fergus looked at Sebastian in surprise. They believed he had no true skills to speak of. The only reason he had been in first place with Henrietta the previous time had been thanks to the Griffins' connections. For the second round, the organizer had specially invited Triston to be one of the judges. He was one of the most respected doctors in Dramon. Even the Griffins would not be able to play any tricks. Rosalie should know that. Then, why did Sebastian still have the guts to come? Mabel scoffed. She stood up and said sarcastically, "I didn't think that you really would have the guts to come. It's just a pity that Dr. Smolder is here this time. Not even Ms. Griffin will be able to help you!"
Henrietta and the other two contestants came to the stage to check the patient's pulse.Henrietta placed a hand on Doris' pulse. She frowned and thought deeply while she scribbled on her paper from time to time. Only after ten minutes did Henrietta respectfully hand the diagnosis over to Robb.Robb pushed his spectacles up his nose as he took the answer sheet. He compared it with Doris' patient profile and nodded as he said admiringly, "Not bad! As expected of our genius female doctor from Steinberg!""Have a look, Mr. Lancel." Robb handed the answer sheet to Roberto and the others. At the same time, he pressed the button in front of him, and the light lit up. "Yep." Roberto nodded vigorously and said, "The new generation are outdoing those of the previous generation. She wrote the details so clearly, too. Very good! I would give Henry full marks just based on how composed and calm she is."Theon nodded approvingly. "Pulse diagnosis is the hardest out of the four main factors o
Robb looked menacingly at Sebastian and said in a cold voice, "The art of silk pulse diagnosis died with Ambroise. Aren't you just trying to get attention?"Roberto frowned and said, "The difficulty of this act is not something that medical experience can cover for. Besides, it is a myth, and the truth of it is debatable. Therefore, I advise you to give up." He looked at Eddard and Theon, who both looked even more displeased. If it hadn't been for what they had experienced previously, they would have extinguished their lights already. Sebastian looked impassively at the mentors on stage and said, "I just want to challenge myself."Challenge himself? He was clearly challenging the entire traditional medicine industry!"Hmph! You're so stubborn!"You're so arrogant!""You have no idea what you're talking about!""You are so full of yourself!"The four mentors on stage stood up almost simultaneously. Zayn looked uncomprehendingly at Triston, who was in the special mentor's se
The live broadcast seemed to explode with comments."Wow! That's not real, is it?""Damn, he actually managed to do a silk pulse diagnosis?""He's a real miracle doctor!""Eh? Wait, he wrote one more diagnosis!"Robb's brow was furrowed as he pointed at the last diagnosis written on the paper and said, "Night blindness? That can't be right. It's not written on the patient's profile."He turned and handed the answer sheet to Roberto and the others.Roberto took the answer sheet and glanced over it. He snorted and said, "Well, Ballard, it seems that the accuracy of silk pulse diagnosis is still a matter to be discussed.""Look, this patient's profile is mainly about complications that have arisen due to diabetes. Night blindness isn't one of them."Sebastian smiled impassively and walked over to Doris. He asked, "Madam, do you start getting blurry vision after sundown? Is it difficult for you to see things clearly?"Doris was startled. Then she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes,
"What…" Robb, Roberto, and the others were completely aghast. Triston was one of the most outstanding figures in Dramon's traditional medicine industry. Was he really a student of Sebastian?If Sebastian could teach Triston, then his medical skills clearly left the others far in the dust.Mabel and Fergus looked very grim. No matter how many people they bought to flood the comment section, it would be of no use after Triston's actions. "Damn it!" Fergus clenched his fist and looked defiantly at Sebastian, who stood proudly on the stage.Whitney stared at Sebastian in shock. She could not believe her eyes.How much had he hidden from her? However, Whitney was realizing more and more that she had wrongly accused Sebastian in the past. Perhaps he really wasn't as useless as she had thought.He also wasn't the complacent loser that Mabel and Fergus said he was.However, Triston's admiration of Sebastian made Whitney feel a deep helplessness that rose from the depths of her hear
"Who are you? What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in?" Dean said, eyeing Sebastian angrily.The entire building belonged to the Grandase Group. This was his territory, and he thought nothing of Sebastian at all."It doesn't matter who I am. Let me give you some advice. You can be unreasonable, but don't let your hands wander. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Sebastian said coldly.Dean's gaze swept coldly over him before he looked at Rosalie and Whitney again. They should have found a more suitable bodyguard for themselves! Sebastian was dressed plainly and looked poor. He seemed the studious type. What else could he do except say a few tough-sounding words?"Guards!" Dean called out through his office door.In less than two minutes, six or seven burly guards arrived at Dean's office door, holding tasers."Toss this brat out!" he said, pointing at Sebastian.After he got rid of Sebastian, he could do as he liked, couldn't he?He had been lusting after Rosalie and Whitney
Sebastian's opponent had acted very fast."By the way, Whitney asked me to go and see them with her to negotiate. Do you have time? Will you come with me?" Rosalie asked, biting her lip.With Sebastian beside her, she would feel confident no matter what kind of unexpected situation popped up."Alright. I'll go with you and have a look," Sebastian said. He stood up and left the office with Rosalie.When they reached the foyer of Avis Building, the headquarters of Grandase Group, Sebastian immediately saw Whitney sitting beside a round table, looking very anxious. "Sebastian, Rosalie! You're finally here! Our products will be taken off the shelves this afternoon! What should we do?"Just last month, Whitney and Rosalie had invested the money that they had worked so hard to earn into the business. In order to expand production volumes, they had even specially bought a shipment of cutting edge production equipment from abroad.Once the factory and equipment was prepared and they we
The problem was that the strength of the Griffins' foundation in Steinberg would decide the fate of the Northmans as well. "What properties do I even own? I only have a convenience store. They can oppress it as much as they want," Sebastian said, smiling.The convenience store was just something Sebastian ran for fun when he had nothing to do. His fortune wasn't based on these properties at all. For instance, there were the pills he refined. Any of them could be sold at the high price of hundreds of millions or even billions. Even if his convenience store closed down, what did it matter? Bankrupt him? That was ridiculous. "It's not just a convenience store. There's Rosalie's entertainment club, the pharmaceutical factory in Northside, and Arctic Snow Group too. Aren't they all your properties? As far as I know, some people have already started taking action," Zane said nervously. "What?" Sebastian asked coldly, his eyes narrowing.No matter what those people did to him, he
"Let's go, you silly goose." Sebastian swiped Rosalie's nose lightly and strode in the direction of the parking lot.After standing in a daze for a while, Rosalie hurried to catch up.Once they were in the car, Sebastian projected his voice and told Kody and Branson to seal off the news. Anyone who breathed a word about what had happened that day would be killed without exception! After all, they had created a huge fuss that day. Sebastian wasn't worried about Yutaria or Sword Towers getting revenge because what would come would come in the end, and it couldn't be avoided.Still, he didn't want to attract too much attention, and he wanted to prevent all the martial arts practitioners from flocking to him to try and curry favor. It would be much too troublesome.Over at the venue, a decision was soon reached. Blake ended up being the new chairman of the Martial Arts Association. As soon as the news spread, it shocked everyone. However, those who had come to see the martial arts
Sebastian huffed coldly as his energy exploded around him. A terrifying, imperious energy began spreading out with Sebastian at its center.The air seemed to congeal around them. The vast force of energy seemed to be as deep as the ocean!Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they saw what was happening.Up in the stands, Trafford was aghast. He was very familiar with the energy that Sebastian was emitting—the Eldoria realm.The young man standing there was an expert at the formation phase of the Eldoria realm."You… you… you're a Cultivator?" No matter how dumb Ethan was, even he had realized what was happening. He and Sebastian weren't playing on the same field at all. Sebastian was starting out from a level that Ethan would never be able to attain in this lifetime."No! That's impossible! I'm the best out of the younger generation among the mystic martial arts! Even though I've tried to join the mystic sects a few times, I was ruthlessly rejected every time I tried
Sebastian glanced briefly at Derek, who was half-dead. Then, he looked up at Grant, Frederick, and the others in the stands, who had all turned pale with fright. "You should have gone the same way as they did," he said coldly. "However, since you're Warrior League apprentices, Madam Dragon can decide on your fate."Belinda looked gratefully at Sebastian. He had shown the Warrior League great respect in not executing Derek and the others on the spot. He had preserved the last vestiges of the Warrior League's dignity.Sebastian pointed at the podium, where Ethan looked very nervous. He asked coldly, "Didn't you say that you wanted to battle to the death with me? Get down here and get ready to die!"Ethan swallowed and trembled as he swallowed the Solpill. His energy suddenly multiplied tenfold, and in the blink of an eye, he had a terrifying energy that was equal to that of someone at the most advanced stage of the Celestial realm.When Ethan felt the limitless power inside him, he
"You were given the name because you look like beasts!" Sebastian jabbed his finger again and cut off Emil's arms.Emil could barely breathe from the pain. He was no longer arrogant at all."Oh right. What did you say you were?"Emil shuddered at the sound of Sebastian's icy voice. Before he could recover, Sebastian pointed at his abdomen.A hole appeared in Emil's stomach from the force of Sebastian's finger. The bloody hole the size of his finger began spurting blood. "As you wished, your blood will soon form a river." Sebastian laughed coldly as he pulled out a silver needle and stuck it into one of Emil's major acupuncture points. As the silver needle pierced him, Emil's nerves were stimulated, and the blood began gushing at twice the speed.When Emil felt himself rapidly losing blood, he turned white with fright. Sebastian was going to let him bleed to death."Sebastian, you— I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost! I… I want to go to the embassy—"Sebastian slappe
Everyone there was shocked at what they had just seen.What was going on? Had the Yutarian beast gotten kicked in the head by a mule? Why would he have summoned a bolt of lightning to strike himself?"What the heck? The Yutarians have weird fetishes.""That's not surprising. It fits them."The audience began to murmur, their speculation running wild.However, Emil was in no mood to listen to them. He had even begun to suspect that Sebastian wasn't human.He, Devin, and Magnus were all experts renowned for their ferocity. However, they had all been thoroughly beaten by a young man in his 20s. They hadn't even gotten a chance to retaliate.That didn't make sense at all!All three of them were covered in blood, but Sebastian was spotless. There wasn't even a speck of dust on him!If Sebastian had defeated them in martial arts alone, they would have accepted it. However, Emil had just used a Shendo technique!So many of Dramon's martial arts experts had been killed by his Shendo
This wasn't just the difference between them in training. It was also about battle experience.After all, Magnus, Devin, and Emil weren't inexperienced nobodies. All three of them had been through hundreds of battles and were very experienced.However, they were as defenseless as a baby when faced with Sebastian.But… Sebastian was so young. How could a young man in his 20s have such extensive battle experience? Not only that, his calm and assured demeanor wasn't something that could be faked."How is this possible?" Trafford's pupils constricted as he murmured to himself in disbelief.Kody laughed wryly and said, "That day in Pill Valley, we reacted the same way you did. We didn't want to believe all of this was true, but look!"Branson sighed softly and said, "Mr. Callahan wasn't just utterly destroyed in pill refining. He couldn't retaliate at all in mystic arts or martial arts either."Trafford's shock and alarm reached its peak. Sebastian walked out of the dust and smoke
