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
An almost untraceable and very fine needle grazed Sebastian's cheek.How dare someone act so brazenly in a crowded hall?As Sebastian glanced toward the entrance, a shadow flickered past the door."Trying to escape?" He sneered in his mind. Without waiting for the congratulations from the crowd, Sebastian quickly approached Rosalie and said, "You head back first. I have something urgent to take care of."Under everyone's astonished gaze, Sebastian hurried off the stage and swiftly went toward the door, chasing after the shadow.He pursued the figure all the way to the largest man-made lake in Steinberg. A paved walkway wound its way to the center of the lake, where Sebastian noticed an old man fishing. He was dressed in a raincoat.The old man sat there motionless and blended perfectly with his surroundings. However, the presence emanating from the old man was anything but ordinary.A Supreme Grandmaster?Sebastian squinted slightly. He walked up to the old man and smiled. "C
"Just a few of you and you think you can kill me? You're not quite there yet." Sebastian looked at the old man calmly.The old man flicked the sword with his finger while his eyes flashed coldly. "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Do you know who I am? I'm Rivia!"Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly. The old man before him ranked seventy-sixth on the Dramon Assassins List! Ordinary people couldn't even dream of hiring someone of his caliber, let alone know about the existence of such a list."The top hundred experts on the Assassins List aren't a big deal. Tell me, who sent you to kill me? Maybe I'll spare your life."Sebastian slid his foot on the ground and left a series of afterimages as he shot toward Rivia with lightning speed."How dare you!" A nearby man in black flicked his wrist, and a dozen fine needles shot out!Sebastian paused slightly and raised his hand to release a burst of spiritual energy. Several sparks burst out three feet behind him, and the needl
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even
Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s
"Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
In less than a minute, the Devora was sent flying over ten times. The strange thing was that no matter how many times he was sent flying or how hard the impact was, he didn't bleed at all. Sebastian was secretly shocked. "Do you know why you were defeated so badly?" Hugo tapped his finger again as he spoke.Sebastian shook his head. Before that day, he hadn't even known what a Devora was. How could he possibly know why he had failed so badly? It must just be a question of skill!"How bold of you. You didn't even know the history of a Devora, and yet you dared to enter the mountain?" Hugo laughed wryly."Aren't Devoras one of the nine sons of the dragon?" Sebastian asked, looking up. Hugo spat disdainfully and asked, "Who told you that? Roveras are one of the dragon's sons, but Devoras aren't!"As he spoke, Hugo tossed a blood-red pill out and said, "Let her eat it. Use your blood essence and this pill to save her."Sebastian was startled. How could he obtain his blood esse
"A Devora? Oh no!" Samson suddenly returned to his senses. He almost rushed out through the gates, but then flames roared up around him. A wall of fire that was several hundred feet high blocked his path! Samson was Sebastian's father. After being imprisoned in the house over ten years ago, Samson had become cut off from the world. He had thought that he would never be able to see his wife and son again. Getting news of Sebastian once more was very unexpected!However, Sebastian had come across the Devoras. He was almost certainly going to die!In Samson's anxiety, he had even forgotten the Fyre Spell that had been set up around the house, which was why he had run right into the spell center and triggered the Fyre!Samson felt extremely anxious as he looked at the Fyre Spell, but he was unable to take even half a step out. "Hugo!" Samson roared at the Fyre Spell.As he shouted, an old man in long, white robes slowly materialized out of nowhere. "Well? Have you thought thi
"Indigo Thunder Shield!" Sebastian chanted under his breath as he used all his strength. A purple flash of lightning appeared around Sebastian. There was a blast as the punch landed heavily on his body. It felt like a falling meteor as it clashed with the indigo lightning! A loud sound boomed in the area, like a mountain exploding, and Sebastian flew backward.The burly man felt equally uncomfortable. The indigo lightning had shocked him so much that his legs had gone numb. "How many other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" The Devora stood up straight and advanced on Sebastian, who was lying on the ground!…In the mountains, in the backyard of the Ballard Estate, Andreas was holding a tablet and pointing at Sebastian and Nina on the screen. They were both throwing up blood and lying on the ground. He said to Whitney, "Whitney, I am not against you fasting, but—"Andreas grinned and asked, "Can you really bear watching Sebastian and that thousand-year-old snake deity ju
