The Blair family already had connections with the Martial Arts Association, so getting Dexter Blair in wasn’t particularly difficult.
However, this move was enough to reveal one thing.
That is, the Ethan Smith they had always looked down upon, is now making them worry and even fear.
In a secluded mountain area.
There was no one around, but a small bungalow stood out here.
“Master, here’s the tea you wanted.” A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy carrying a teacup walked up to an elderly man with white hair.
The old man took the tea and said, “How long have we been here?”
“Master, fourteen years.” The boy answered.
“Fourteen years… ti flies indeed.” The old man sighed.
The boy was silent for a while, seeming to have sothing to say.
“If you have sothing to say, just say it.” The old man could see what was on the boy’s mind.
A few monts later, the boy hesitated, then said, “Master, recently soone… has successfully stepped onto the stairway to heaven.”
“Successfully stepped onto the stairway to heaven?” The old man raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, “A heavenly-selected talent?”
“No… Like you, he forcibly broke through the stairway to heaven, but… he succeeded.” The boy’s voice grew smaller and smaller, as if afraid of hurting the old man’s feelings.
“Pa”
Hearing this, the old man’s teacup fell to the ground.
This old man was none other than the famous Jackson Harris, known as a genius.
He was not truly old, only forty-eight years old.
His head full of white hair was all because of his past attempt to forcefully enter the stairway to heaven.
“There are always new talents erging,” Jackson Harris murmured after a while.
Ethan Smith did not leave the Elder’s residence for a full three days.
Almost every day, people would co to visit Ethan Smith. In their eyes, he was now a genuine miracle.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
It was now early sumr in May, and only four months remained until September 9th.
On this day, Ethan Smith, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes!
His breath was violently surging, as if it was about to burst open at any mont!
“I’ve reached the peak of the fasting period.” Ethan murmured softly.
From the fasting period to the enlightennt stage would be the most challenging part.
And now Ethan Smith could clearly feel that he had reached a bottleneck.
Simply relying on seclusion would no longer help him progress further.
At the peak of the fasting period, he should be in the realm of the Peak Grandmaster,” Ethan thought to himself.
But for Ethan, being a Grandmaster at the peak was enough to deal with most grandmasters! Even those at the peak form of Grandmaster!
“I have four months left; I wonder if I’ll have a chance to enter the Grandmasters realm.” Ethan murmured softly.
As soone with a chaotic body, Ethan does not fear anyone within his rank!
Even if they are scions of aristocratic families or contemporary geniuses!
“Mr. Smith, you have co out of seclusion.” Seeing Ethan Smith, Edward Green hurriedly ca running up.
Ethan nodded and said, “I should also leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.”
“Leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion?” Edward couldn’t help but be taken aback.
He quickly said, “Isn’t it too dangerous for you to leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion now? A lot of people want to kill you…”
Ethan sighed, “The Divine Alchemist Pavilion has protected too well. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll beco a useless person.”
Practice isn’t only about seclusion; one has to embrace and be a part of the secular life when living in the world.
Moreover, Ethan had more important things to do.
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Ethan, Edward asked, “Mr. Smith, when do you plan to leave?”
After thinking for a mont, Ethan said, “In three days.”
“Then I’ll go with you.” Edward hurriedly said.
Ethan looked at Edward up and down, noticing that he had already entered the Grandmaster Realm.
Although he was only in the early stages, both he and Ethan practiced using qi.
So compared to ordinary grandmasters, Edward might be even stronger.
“Alright.” Ethan agreed.
Ethan had a plan in mind, and Edward might be able to help.
In the blink of an eye, Ethan had been at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion for three months.
In these three months, everything seed to have changed.
Ethan Smith went from the beginning of the Monastic Stage to the peak realm in the blink of an eye!
This speed could only be described as beyond imagination!
His body had beco virtually indestructible! Even without using the Saintly Body Skill, Ethan Smith’s body was enough to withstand bullets!
In the evening, Ethan Smith arrived at the Pavilion Master Building.
Sitting here, the Pavilion Master personally made a cup of tea for Ethan Smith.
“Grandmaster Peak, not bad.” the Pavilion Master said lightly.
Ethan Smith sighed, “Yeah, now when I encounter a Grandmaster at the peak, even if I can’t kill them, I can at least protect myself.”
The Pavilion Master did not say much about it.
She suddenly changed the subject and said, “I have so bad news for you. Dexter Blair has beco Erson Hols’ disciple.”
“Erson Hols?” Ethan Smith frowned slightly.
This na seed sowhat unfamiliar to him.
The Pavilion Master nodded slightly, “Yes, he is the Vice President of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”
Hearing this, Ethan Smith recalled the “Mr. Hols” he had t at the banquet with Emily Taylor; that should be Erson Hols.
“No matter.” Ethan Smith laughed.
“No matter who he worships, I will kill him myself.”
Ethan Smith’s tone was full of confidence and calmness, as if he didn’t take Dexter Blair seriously at all.
The Pavilion Master nodded but did not say anything more.
She had always trusted Ethan Smith, and his performance only further strengthened her belief.
“Leaving in three days?” the Pavilion Master asked.
Ethan Smith nodded, “Yes, I plan to prepare for a few more days in case of unexpected situations.”
“Alright.” The Pavilion Master stood up.
She turned back to her room and ca out a mont later with a pill furnace in her hand.
This pill furnace was the one the Pavilion Master had personally used before! The carved divine dragon on it was even more lifelike!
“I’m giving you this pill furnace.” The Pavilion Master said lightly.
This ti, Ethan Smith didn’t refuse.
He accepted the pill furnace and said, “I will never forget the Pavilion Master’s great kindness.”
The Divine Alchemist Pavilion’s kindness to Ethan Smith was beyond words.
Even the current Ethan Smith didn’t know how to repay them.
Over the next few days, Ethan Smith bid farewell to the many alchemists of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion one by one.
Apart from that, he spent all his ti locked in his room, with no one knowing what he was doing.
On the last night before leaving.
Ethan Smith, Mike Taylor, and Fifth Elder gathered together.
However, the Pavilion Master did not show up, as she had always been a loner and did not like to participate in such gatherings.
“Once I leave this ti, I don’t know when we will et again.” At the dinner table, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sigh.
The Fifth Elder nodded and said, “Yes, I hope you succeed.”
“I will succeed.” Ethan Smith’s tone was incredibly firm.
“Even if I can’t shake the two great families, I can at least take Emily away.”
That night, the atmosphere was rather lancholic, and everyone drank heavily and got drunk.
Early the next morning, Ethan Smith made simple preparations and was ready to leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
All the alchemists stood at the doorway, seeing Ethan Smith off.
Other than the Pavilion Master, this was the first ti soone in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion had received such treatnt.
In just three months, Ethan Smith had beco their idol.
“Ethan Smith!”
At this mont, Sofia Carrillo suddenly ran over, panting.
“Can… Can I go with you?” Sofia whispered.
“Go with ?” Ethan Smith shook his head with a bitter smile.
“I’m not going out to play. If you go with , you may die at any ti,” Ethan Smith said.
Sofia hurriedly said, “I’m not afraid! I might even be able to help you!”
Ethan Smith frowned and thought for a mont before saying, “Are you sure you want to co with ?”
“Really!” Sofia nodded vigorously.
“Alright.” Ethan Smith agreed.
Sofia was an exceptionally talented alchemist; having her by his side might indeed be helpful to him.
“Ethan Smith, the Taylor family is still nearby,” reminded the Fifth Elder.
Hearing this, Ethan Smith’s eyes turned cold, and he sneered, “That’s even better. I can just use them to test my current strength…”
