Maxton was still reeling from the shock of suddenly breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm. His mind buzzed with confusion, leaving him unable toprehend the meaning behind Charlie’s earlier words. Before he could gather his thoughts, Hong Changqing turned to him with wide eyes and eximed, “Maxton… you… why


    did you revert to a five-star fighter?!”


    This jolt of realization snapped Maxton back to attention.


    Only then did she recognize that her cultivation had drastically changed in such a brief moment. Just moments ago, she had reached the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm, and now she found herself back at the level of a five-star warrior. A wave of horror washed over her as she struggled to understand how this was possible.


    How could she manipte her own cultivation so effortlessly in the blink of an eye?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In that instant, it dawned on her just how unfathomable Charlie’s strength truly was!


    Suddenly, despair enveloped her heart.


    The source of her disappointmenty in the fact that she had genuinely achieved her lifelong dream of bing a top master in the Ming Realm Dzogchen!


    It was a dream that hade true so easily, almost by ident!


    But s, like a shooting star, that dream was radiant yet fleeting…


    At that moment, Maxton felt as if she were awakening from a beautiful dream, her heart heavy with loss.


    As she nced back at Charlie, the pride and superiority that had once filled her gaze were reced by an overwhelming sense of loneliness and unexinable shame.<fncd33> Discover more novels at Find[?]ovel</fncd33>


    Charlie, having released Maxton’s delicate hands, turned to Hong Changqing and remarked, “Master Hong, you and your apprentice should discuss the session of the throne without my interruption. I’ll leave you to it.”


    “Please, take your time, Master Wade. I will ensure that all matters regarding the sect leader’s session are resolved today!” Hong Changqing said quickly, bowing deeply as he opened the door for Charlie.


    As the door swung open, Maxton instinctively turned to look, only to see Charlie’s back disappearing beyond the threshold, intensifying her sense of disappointment.


    After seeing Charlie out, Hong Changqing hurried back inside, closed the door, and turned to Maxton with regret etched on his face. “Maxton, you’re being foolish! I’ve dedicated my life to martial arts, and I’ve never encountered anyone like Master Wade! To meet someone with such extraordinary abilities is a rare opportunity; why did you offend him?” Maxton, feeling dazed, asked, “Master… who is this Mr. Wade? No matter how talented a martial artist is, it usually takes years or even decades to progress from five-star cultivation to the Great Consummation of the Ming Realm. How could he possibly open my three meridians in an instant?”


    With a heavy sigh, Hong Changqing replied, “Maxton, Master Wade’s powers exceed anything we can fathom. I only wish to follow his lead and serve him devotedly, seeking opportunities along the way…”


    Remorse filled Maxton’s eyes as she couldn’t help but ask Hong Changqing, “Master, do you think Mr. Wade’s strength has already surpassed that of the Dark Realm?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
