    Horey''s shout caused an uproar among the onlookers. Finally, they understood why Frank, who should have been knocked down by Kairo''s punch, stood there as if nothing had happened, while Kairo was the one in shambles.


    It turned out Frank was a martial artist too-and stronger than Kairo!


    "Oh my God!"


    Ira was dumbstruck, staring at Frank in disbelief and muttering to himself, "How can he have such amazing medical skills and still be a stronger fighter than Kairo? Is this guy even human? Am I dreaming?"


    "This is crazy! This is just too crazy!"


    While everyone was in shock over Frank being a martial artist, Mole had a peculiar look on his face. He knew that Frank''s feat was not just because Frank was a martial artist and stronger than Kairo.


    No, it was because Frank''s strength was on apletely different level at least a whole rank higher!


    Kairo was Birthright. To stand still and take Kairo''s full-powered punch without budging meant Frank had to be at least at the Ascendant rank. Only then could he withstand the attack and have Kairo be hurt by the rebound force of his own punch.


    ording to this spection, Frank... was actually Ascendant?!


    Realizing this, Mole was stunned. He nced at Yosil beside him, whose face mirrored his shock. Yosil had also figured it out.


    Frank was at least an Ascendant-ranked!


    He was an Ascendant whose medical skills surpassed Yosil''s.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Was there any justice left in this world?


    Yosil felt his head spinning. This shock was even greater than when he first discovered Frank''s refining skills.


    Kairo''s talent was already exceptional, but in front of Frank, it was nothing.


    What he prided himself on-his dual expertise in medicine and martial arts-was just a joke. It was a mere act of self-amusement in Frank''s eyes!


    No wonder Frank had such confidence and skills. He was an Ascendant!


    Forget about how many people in Draconia understood the kingdom''s ancient medicine for now. There were not even that many Ascendant-ranked individuals in Draconia!


    To be an Ascendant while also surpassing the medical skills of an old-timer like Yosil who was over two hundred years old...


    Did such a young person truly exist?


    Yosil could not help but question this. He even felt that today''s events were somewhat unreal, like a dream.


    But soon, he thought of someone.


    "Frank? His surname is Lawrence?!"


    Yosil''s eyes widened as he suddenly connected the dots. A young man with the surname Lawrence with such astounding medical skills and martial prowess could only be...


    Mystic Sky Sect and the Lawrence family...


    "I''ve got it! That young man must be Donn Lawerence, the famous Lord of the Southern Woods'' only son!"


    The realization made Yosil tremble uncontrobly.


    What was fate? This was fate!


    Tears welled up in his eyes. Years ago, after being forced to leave Mystic Sky Sect due to his limited talent, he had been entrusted with a rare treasure by none other than the great Lord of the Southern Woods.

    That treasure was the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.


    Seeing Frank now, Yosil recalled the lord''s words from over twenty years ago.
