Chapter 351: Chapter 333: Loved to the Marrow

For Martial Artists who reached the Martial King Realm, specific techniques were no longer important. What mattered more was their mastery over their Power Domain.

With each level they advanced, their understanding of their Power Domain would change, and so too would the effects of their attacks.

A Great Martial King Level Power Domain could draw upon the Power of Nature, maximizing the user’s abilities.

Dawn Miles’s Power Domain was formidable. After shielding Beta Morgan, it could still extend outward to attack.

The Power Domains of the several Guardians were suppressed simultaneously.

A battle was about to erupt.

Suddenly, the old man burst into laughter, the sound shattering their Power Domains.

"HAHAHA... Since you did not enter our territory intentionally, we will let the matter drop. You must leave as soon as possible."

The Guardians exchanged glances, their expressions filled with reluctance.

"Sir..."

"All of you, disperse!" The old man’s voice was calm, but it carried a hint of warning.

’This girl’s strength is comparable to my own,’ he thought. ’If we really fight to the death, the others and I might not escape unscathed.’

’As a Regulator, I would also bear an undeniable responsibility.’

The Guardians had no choice but to leave. After everyone was gone, Beta Morgan collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

The dress shirt under his suit was soaked through with sweat, and his chest heaved faintly.

"Aurora, once the Master wakes up, we’ll return to Veridia."

Dawn Miles glanced at the token in her hand, then tried to give it back to him.

Beta Morgan was exasperated. "This is yours."

"It’s not..."

Beta Morgan felt a throb in his temples. "Your master gave it to you."

Dawn Miles looked at him for a moment before taking the token back. Staring at the ancient script on its surface, she asked in a low voice, "What kind of person was my master?"

Beta Morgan froze for a second, then his eyes filled with reverence. He said solemnly, "He was a true Guardian!"

***

Because Dawn Miles now had the status of a Guardian, she had to leave the country immediately.

So, a private jet dispatched from Veridia secretly landed in Luvia.

Alvin Morgan was carried onto the plane, where he was placed under 24-hour specialized care.

Dawn Miles sat not far away, finally getting a clear look at his face.

He wasn’t handsome in the roguishly charming way Elias Lennox was. His face was clean and pure, especially his closed eyes. The curve of his eyelids was like a line from an ink wash painting, shaped like peach blossoms with upturned corners—a beauty that made it hard to look directly at him.

Dawn Miles felt a rabbit fluttering in her chest, and she guiltily averted her gaze.

"My master’s Dantian is completely destroyed," Beta Morgan said suddenly.

His eyes held a complex mix of emotions as he looked at the man on the bed.

Dawn Miles followed his gaze, and deep guilt surfaced in her eyes. "I’m sorry... I’ll find a way to heal him..."

But Beta Morgan shook his head. "It’s useless. A damaged Dantian means he can never practice Martial Arts again in this lifetime."

His master had never cared about his own talent for Martial Cultivation, but after meeting Aurora Sinclair, he had suddenly taken an interest. He even once asked Apothecary Warner about repairing meridians, but he never brought it up again after that.

It wasn’t until Master Aerion’s cultivation dropped a whole realm to save Indie Lowell that he realized his master didn’t want Aurora Sinclair to suffer any harm to her own body for his sake.

His master truly loved Aurora Sinclair. He loved her to the very marrow of his bones.

"Aurora, don’t leave him. He’ll really die."

Dawn Miles’s heart trembled. For a long time, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from Alvin Morgan.

***

The flight to Kingsford took over ten hours.

The Warners, who were already waiting at the airport, swiftly transported Alvin Morgan to Warner Hospital.

Emil Warner’s face was grim as he looked over Alvin Morgan’s medical report.

He was especially furious when he learned Alvin had been so severely injured while searching for Aurora Sinclair, and he shot several glares at Beta Morgan.

"What time is it to be letting him act so recklessly? The Trent Family has already established themselves in Kingsford!"

Beta Morgan replied with a calm expression, "The Master said not to worry about them."

"Not worry about them? Look at what they’re doing now!" Emil Warner grabbed a nearby remote and turned on the TV on the wall.

The latest commercial from Seawell Pharmaceuticals was playing:

A young boy, frail and sickly since childhood, was unable to practice martial arts. He was endlessly bullied and ridiculed by his classmates. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape the curse of having poor martial aptitude.

He dreamed countless times of a world with a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill that could reshape his talent and turn him into a superhero, but it was always just a dream...

"Seawell Pharma has dedicated decades to research and has finally unlocked the secret behind poor martial aptitude. We have developed a medicine that will change the destiny of any Martial Artist. With just one small pill, you can be completely reborn..."

Beta Morgan’s face paled in shock. "How dare they?"

Emil Warner snorted coldly. "Keep watching..."

At the end of the commercial, footage that looked like it was secretly recorded suddenly appeared. It showed the slender back of a figure suspended above the ocean waves, splitting a "Sea Wall" of water.

"That final special effect is very realistic. A lot of people in the Martial World are already tempted."

Beta Morgan was so stunned he couldn’t say a word.

Because the person with flowing silver hair, walking on the waves, was none other than Aurora Sinclair.

"Has this commercial been aired?"

Beta Morgan’s heart leaped into his throat. He had been in Luvia looking for clues these past few days and hadn’t kept up with the intelligence from Kingsford.

Emil Warner replied irritably, "Your family’s old master suppressed the ad in time."

"That’s good..." Beta Morgan let out a sudden sigh of relief. That final footage absolutely could not be released.

"Hmph... The general public may not have seen it, but a sample copy was leaked to the Martial Alliance. Now the Whitlock, Quincy, and Vance Families are wavering. Yesterday, at a high-level meeting of the Martial Alliance, they deliberately brought up the Trent Family’s medicine..."

Emil Warner hadn’t slept well for a single day since the Trent Family returned.

Not only were the Warner Family’s businesses under attack, but the Trent Family’s strength was unnervingly high, faintly suppressing both the Warner and Lockwood Families.

In the recent freestyle fighting tournament, the Trent Family was a dark horse, pulling far ahead of all the other families.

If they also steal the show at the Arcadian Championship, then no one will be able to contain the Trent Family’s momentum.

Thinking of this, Emil Warner asked bluntly, "When is the girl from the Sinclair Family competing? The Lockwood Family is already at its breaking point."

Beta Morgan’s head throbbed even more at the question. He glanced around, then lowered his voice. "There’s... a problem with her..."

"What kind of problem?" Emil Warner’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Beta Morgan leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"What—"

The usually composed Emil Warner nearly jumped out of his skin. "Where is she now?"

Beta Morgan turned and pointed to the unfamiliar boy standing outside the transparent door.

Emil Warner glanced at the doorway, so angry he almost punched him. "Well, what are you waiting for? Bring them in!"

***

Dawn Miles looked curiously at the man before her. He was currently gripping her wrist, his brows deeply furrowed.

Suddenly, he took a silver needle from the side and pricked her finger. "What are you doing?"

"Don’t move!"

Emil Warner squeezed her finger, drawing her blood into a small, clear tube. He then squeezed it onto a transparent glass slide and placed it under a testing device to observe.

After a few minutes, the color drained from Emil Warner’s face. "Beta Morgan, have you run any tests on her?"

Beta Morgan glanced at her and shook his head.

"Come see for yourself."

The blood cells in Aurora Sinclair’s body had undergone a mutation. It wasn’t just the number of various cells, but their very shape—it was an unprecedented transformation.

Beta Morgan had seen the structure of Aurora Sinclair’s blood cells before, and they had changed dramatically compared to now. In other words, her body had undergone another mutation of some kind.

"Aurora, would you let Mr. Beta draw a vial of blood?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Beta Morgan turned back, looking at her with a completely serious expression. "I promise you, this is just to check your body’s metrics. We absolutely will not use it for any other research."

Dawn Miles watched them for a moment, then asked warily, "How much do you need?"

Beta Morgan picked up a small vial from the side. "Just this much."

She thought for a moment and finally agreed.

Just as Beta Morgan was about to draw her blood, Aiden Morgan suddenly shouted from outside:

"The Master is awake! Someone, quick—"
