Master Aerion gripped Ethan Lowell's wrist and found a familiar Power flowing through his meridians. He instinctively glanced over at Aurora Sinclair.
'What did this kid do to deserve my silly disciple opening up all his meridians for him?'
He then glanced at a certain figure in the crowd. 'Could those two have had a fight?'
At that moment, the Lowell Family was watching him nervously. Owen Lowell even asked, "Master, did he take a forbidden drug?"
Master Aerion shook his head, released Ethan Lowell's wrist, and once again picked up the teacup beside him. He carefully shielded his face with his sleeve as he took a sip.
At the same time, Aurora Sinclair on the opposite side also released Edmund Lowell.
The two returned to the center, ready to continue the match.
Ethan Lowell was now a Third Rank martial master, the same as Edmund Lowell. One had just had a breakthrough, while the other had previously sustained some internal injuries; they were evenly matched.
