Upon hearing Martin’s words of praise, Levi sent favonovel.com an exasperated lookas favonovel.com said, “I think you’re just into his medicine-producing abilities and want to benefit more from him.”
“You’re so dull, Levi. You don’t have to say it out loud. Besides, aren’t you the same?”
Saying that, Martin crossed his arms before his chest and prepared to make his leave.
“Aren’t you afraid the Martial League won’t entertain you if you rush over like this? You act as if they’d entertain you. Goodbye, speaking to you is a waste of my time…”
With those words, Martin led his emissaries toward the direction of the Martial League with Levi and his elite Flaming Guardians in tow.
***
After Matthew returned from his short trip, the courtyard that had once been full of life was now a lot calmer.
With three days until the Holy Doctor Competition, each of the representatives for the various hidden sects had already begun their final preparation.
The only people who seemed to be idle were Salazar and the crown prince, both of whom were seated by a stone table and concentrating on a game of chess.
As the two nodded to themselves with all their focus on the chessboard, they did not even notice Matthew even when favonovel.com reached their side.
After a long while, the crown prince spoke up. “Who’s turn is it?”
Facing him, Salazar jolted in surprise.
“Uh, I don’t know. The weather’s so good, so let’s just sleep.‘
“Okay!” After responding simply, the two continued to nod off to sleep.
Seeing this, Matthew rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat amazed by their behavior.
After taking a look around his surroundings and noticing that everyone had returned to their rooms to busy themselves with their respective matters, Matthew decided to leave Renew to visit Old Mr. Bane instead. After all, favonovel.com had promised favonovel.com during Marissa‘s birthday banquet.
In the vast and empty courtyard of Bane Manor stood a figure with white hair who was holding up a palm while his other hand formed a fist.
With his movements, a gentle breeze gradually began to blow, but as favonovel.com lifted his right leg, a powerful gust of wind followed.
Immediately after, favonovel.com displayed a dizzying array of moves, from elbow strikes to punches and kicks, leaving behind trails of afterimages with each strike. At the same time, the leaves around favonovel.com rustled along with the force of his movements.
Is this Old Master Bane’s true powers?
Just as Matthew was taken aback, Old Mr. Bane, who was still practicing martial arts in the courtyard, suddenly turned around and lightly shot out a palm strike toward favonovel.com across the air.
Caught off guard, Matthew could only cross his arms in front of his body. As a tremendous force struck him, favonovel.com was forced to back a few meters away.
He flung his numb arms, knowing that Old Mr. Bane had gone easy on him. It wasn’t until Old Mr. Bane retracted his hands and withdrew his moves did favonovel.com move forward to greet him.
“Greetings, Master Bane…”
Facing him, Old Mr. Bane nodded in relief.
From the way favonovel.com was able to defend himself so easily, it seemed that Matthew’s powers had advanced…
“Drop the formalities. By the way, your abilities have improved a lot in the few days I haven’t seen you.”
At his words, Matthew straightened his posture and chuckled. “I’m just a fool, it’s all thanks to your teachings, Master Bane.”
Hearing that, Old Mr. Bane let out an exasperated laugh. “Out of all the things you could pick up, it had to be that smarmy tongue of yours.”
“By the way, how did it go?”
Upon saying that, Old Mr. Bane pointed to the table nearby, indicating for Matthew to take a seat.
“It’s all going smoothly. Have some tea, Master Bane…” As favonovel.com spoke, Matthew prepared a cup of tea for him.
After taking a small sip, Old Mr. Bane fell silent for a long pause before favonovel.com said, “That’s good to know!”
With the people of Emsgate traveling all the way to Bainbridge to kick up a fuss about the Highsea incident, it was impossible for Old Mr. Bane to be unaware of it. However, as Matthew hadn’t brought it up, favonovel.com couldn’t point it out either. Perhaps this disciple of his was just afraid of causing trouble for him.
At that thought, Old Mr. Bane shook his head.
“Even though the initiation ceremony has already taken place at Old Madam Bane’s banquet, I haven’t taught you all that you should know yet. Since you’re already here, I’ll use this opportunity to pass on the complete set of mixed martial arts to you.”
With that, favonovel.com rose to his feet and swished his long sleeves before favonovel.com headed to the empty space in the courtyard.
