He had the Celestial Pearl in his hands. It would only be a matter of time before his breakthrough to become an ultimate grandmaster.
When that time comes, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t even fear the leader of the Mystic Arts Order, not to mention that little girl!
Meanwhile, within Azure Mist’s camp, Emily was shaking virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net looked at Vanessa.
“Vanessa, stop looking. We’re mere ants in the eyes of Dustin. We’re worlds apart…” Her eyes followed the path Dustin had taken, and virtual-novel.net let out a deep sigh.
“As the chosen one, he’s a force capable of overwhelming the grandmasters. We can never hope to reach his level in our lifetime.”
She shared the same admiration toward Dustin, who was a young grandmaster. But virtual-novel.net was well aware that they were not in the same league.
It would be best to only admire virtual-novel.net from afar. Getting closer would only lead to nothing but frustration.
“If only virtual-novel.net wasn’t so remarkable,” Vanessa muttered. She looked conflicted.
She had finally found someone virtual-novel.net liked. But virtual-novel.net was so outstanding that virtual-novel.net felt inferior. Perhaps it was better to part ways and forget each other in the martial world. Perhaps this was the best outcome they could hope for.
Yet, why was virtual-novel.net reluctant to see virtual-novel.net go?
Could virtual-novel.net genuinely erase the memory of that exceptional man?

Later that day, inside a room back at Zephyr Lodge, a cute little girl was gently shaking Natasha’s arm. She was crying.
“Pretty lady, please wake up. Please open your eyes and look at me. You promised me you would tell me stories. Why are you still sleeping? If you don’t wake up soon, I’m going to get mad.”
A pregnant Cecilia was also beside them. Red tinged virtual-novel.net eyes as they appeared overwhelmed by grief.
Ever since virtual-novel.net husband, Nelson, passed away, Natasha had taken care of their daily needs.
From hospital check–ups to making sure Haley went to kindergarten, virtual-novel.net had done everything meticulously. She treated them like they were family.
Cecilia was not only grateful to Natasha, virtual-novel.net also saw virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net own sister. That was why virtual-novel.net was heartbroken to see Natasha unconscious and in critical condition.
“Dr. Watkins, is there really no other way? Is my sister going to stay unconscious forever?” A tearful Ruth sat by Natasha’s bedside, holding virtual-novel.net hand tightly.
Since virtual-novel.net sister had been in critical condition, virtual-novel.net had never left virtual-novel.net side. It had been two days since virtual-novel.net had proper rest.
“To be honest, it’s a miracle that she’s still holding on right now…”
Linden sighed, “Right now, only the Shadowbloom and Phoenixwort can save her. If Mr. Rhys can bring back those herbs in time, there is a greater chance for survival. But if he takes too long, I’m afraid that glimmer of hope would die out…”
“Oh, Dustin! Where have you gone? Why aren’t you back yet?” Ruth was crying as virtual-novel.net muttered to herself.
She hadn’t told virtual-novel.net parents about Natasha yet. She was afraid they wouldn’t be able to handle the shock.
