The teorite slamd into the seawater around two kiloters away from the peninsula. The wave it stirred up soon arrived with a strong heat surge. The strong wave was high enough to roll over the trees on the surface of the sea, but to Mu Ningxue’s surprise, the beautiful trees were surprisingly firm. They did not bend after being struck by the strong wave.
“That thing looks like our Golden Sun Combat Officer, Norman’s skill. I saw him using it when I was young... I have admired Combat Officer Norman since then,” Kris exclaid.
“Norman, why is he here? Is he pulling off a stunt? What is he doing, diving into the ocean like that? Is he going to soar into the sky next? That’s pretty cool!” Mo Fan said.
“I...I don’t know,” Kris admitted.
Mo Fan’s words convinced the rest of the group that Norman might be practicing so extre ability. Not many people had the ability to sweep across the sky like a teorite. His speed was just too crazy. It easily outmatched the distance covered by a Blink spell. After all, Blink needed a certain ti to Channel!
“By the way, why hasn’t he co out of the water yet? It’s been quite a while,” Mo Fan noted.
“Did sothing go wrong?” Heidi wondered.
“I knew sothing did not seem right.”
“Let’s go check him out!”

They went further out to sea and discovered the place where the teorite had landed. There were so reefs nearby broken into pieces, indicating that the man had dove deeper into the sea.
“Old Zhao, go take a look,” Mo Fan prodded his friend.
Zhao Manyan was not too willing, but he had no choice but to dive into the water. The others waited for him on the boat.
A while later, Zhao Manyan’s head poked out from the surface of the sea. He said indifferently, “I see nothing. He might have left. Why are we wasting our ti here?”
“Search carefully, in case sothing bad happened,” Mo Fan said.
“Why don’t you do it?” Zhao Manyan snapped.
“I’m not a good swimr,” Mo Fan answered serenely.
Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes and dove into the water again.
“Strange, why do I feel like I had the sa conversation before? I’m not a good swimr...I’m not a good swimr...” Mo Fan mumbled to himself.
Zhao Manyan was gone for a longer ti. They finally noticed so movents under the water ten minutes later. A head with disheveled hair soon poked out from the water. Mo Fan thought it was Zhao Manyan and leaned forward to ask if he had found anything, but was greeted by a strange pale face with cracks on it. He almost threw a Fiery Fist at it on impulse!
“It’s so tiring!” Zhao Manyan dragged the man onto the boat and panted heavily to take in the fresh air.
“Old Zhao, why did you bring a water ghost back? Are you having another new fetish?” Mo Fan inquired blankly.
“Water ghost my ass, this a human! A strange fish with jagged teeth was eating him when I was down there. If I hadn’t saved him, he was most likely going to end up as the creature’s supper. I’m seriously speechless; it’s my first ti seeing soone almost killing themselves after pulling an acrobatic stunt in the sky,” Zhao Manyan said.
Kris went closer and moved the person’s hair aside. He took a closer look at the man’s face and blurted out, “It’s Master Norman. Goodness gracious , it really is Master Norman!”
“How did you even recognize him?” Mo Fan looked at the face that was damaged beyond recognition. He was actually impressed by Kris’ ability to recognize the guy.
“He’s suffering from serious injuries. Most of them are inflicted by Elental Spells. He must have fought an intense battle!” Mu Ningxue said.
“An intense fight? This guy killed a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan in an instant! How many people in the world can even defeat him, let alone hurt him like this!” Mo Fan exclaid.
Mo Fan had witnessed Norman’s strength in person. This man could take him on even if he was using the Demon Elent! He was easily one of the strongest Super Mages, with the ability to roam across demon hordes freely, so how did soone like him end up in such a state? Did the guy enjoy courting death, just like him?
“He’s still breathing,” Heidi said.
“How did this happen? Master Norman is easily ranked in the top five in the Parthenon Temple! This isn’t possible, it’s unbelievable!” Kris was lost in his thoughts. He acted like he had suffered a humiliating defeat himself.
“Speaking of which, didn’t he co from the direction of Mount Tyrant? Was he fighting the Black Dragon?” Zhao Manyan said.
“Most of his injuries are from Elental Spells. If he escaped from the mountain, he was most likely fighting the people there instead of the Black Dragon... Could it be?...” Mu Ningxue’s eyes glittered.
“Does that an he really injured himself when he was pulling off a stunt?” Kris was still considering Mo Fan’s speculation.
Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Heidi, and Mu Ningxue fixed their eyes on Kris. Kris imdiately realized how stupid he sounded, and quickly shut his mouth.
“I bet Su Lu and his n did this. Now that I think of it, they are the only ones that could injure him so badly,” Mo Fan had a stern face.
He did not expect Norman to be related to the Black Dragon. However, he was struggling to understand why Norman was trying to stop Su Lu and his n.
Su Lu’s plan to capture the Black Dragon should be none of the Parthenon Temple’s concern!
“Either way, let’s bring him back to the Parthenon Temple to treat his wounds. His injuries are too serious, he might not live until morning if he doesn’t get treated soon,” Mu Ningxue said.
“The creature tore off quite a lot of his flesh. If Mo Fan hadn’t convinced us that he was pulling off a stunt, he would be a lot better than he is now if we had found him earlier,” Zhao Manyan muttered, but nobody paid attention to him.

They rowed the boat back to the beach. Mu Bai happened to be walking out of the woods. He promptly teased Zhao Manyan when he saw him carrying a body with cracks and covered in seaweed, “Old Zhao, why did you catch a sea ghost? Is it male or female?”
“Sea ghost my ass, hurry up and treat his wounds. This guy is a Super Mage. His life is precious!” Zhao Manyan grunted in dissatisfaction.
Mu Bai was just about to discuss the fruits with Mu Ningxue, but he quickly took out so dicine he had brought along for ergency purposes after seeing how badly injured the man was.
“His injuries are all from Super Spells!” Mu Bai deduced with a frown.
There were two burn marks on Norman’s back that were obviously inflicted by the Light spell Holy Extermination. The Holy Extermination was the deadliest single-target spell at the Super Level. Mu Bai could not imagine anyone was still alive after being hit by the Holy Extermination twice!
Most importantly, apart from the wounds on the back, there were wounds inflicted by Super Spells all over his body. Mu Bai roughly estimated the person had been hit by more than twenty Super Spells, judging from his wounds!
Twenty Super Spells were enough to raze an average city to the ground. This person was most likely the Diamond Sacred Warrior of the Parthenon Temple if he was still alive now!
“I can only stop his wounds from worsening. He needs to go to the Parthenon Temple if he wants to live, and you’ll need at least a Muse to heal him,” Mu Bai said.
“Leave it to , I’ve always admired Master Norman! I’ll bring him to the Parthenon Temple as soon as possible!” Kris swore.
While he was talking, a strong gust of wind swept across the night sky. The Blue Ocean Trees swayed wildly while huge waves rolled across the sea.

A bird with blue scales was beating its wings and hovering under the clouds in the night sky. Its sharp eyes were scanning the pitch-black sea below as if searching for sothing.
“He should be around here, how fast was he? He might have escaped if we hadn’t happened to be on standby nearby and saw the trail he left behind,” Zu Kuangli said.
“By the way, are we even strong enough to handle that guy? He seems pretty strong,” Zhao Liwan said worriedly.
“What are you being afraid of? He’s seriously injured. He might be weaker than an Advanced Mage now...”
“Damn it, there’s nothing but sea here. There’s no point of reference either. We have no clue where he is,” Zu Kuangli said.
Zu Kuangli glanced below him. He could see nothing but water. Even if he knew the target was in this area, it was still difficult to search the sea!
“Look, it looks like a peninsula over there, let’s take a look,” Zhao Liwan said.
The group of three rode the Blue-Scaled Hawk over to the peninsula. They went past the Blue Ocean Trees and noticed several figures on the beach.
Zu Kuangli glanced down at the people aloofly and called out, “Hey, you guys, did any of you see a man engulfed in flas around here?”
Zu Kuangli was an expert, and did not treat the villagers and tourists of a remote place like this seriously.
“Strange, why did that gigolo-like voice sound so familiar?” soone spoke up.
“Are you asking for your death!?” Zu Kuangli was enraged. He ordered the Blue-Scaled Hawk to dive at the beach. The strong wind stirred up the sand as the creature landed, broadcasting an overwhelming presence!
“I’m currently in a bad mood. Bring it on if you’re looking for a fight. I’ve co here to enjoy a peaceful evening with my wife, so why did I have to stumble into an eyesore like you!?” The person on the beach was hot-tempered, looking ready to fight Zu Kuangli right away.
Zu Kuangli was startled too. Where did such a hot-tempered guy co from? He was both surprised and disgusted when he took a closer look at the man.
“It’s you!” Zu Kuangli finally recognized Mo Fan, and found himself brimming with anger.
