"People learn the most when teaching others" Michael quickly said calmly despite the shock he just got from Olivia.

"Until I say so, continue to teach, I'm very sure the Sect Leader won't like losing a teacher like you"

"How hard would it be to build a one-man portal connecting Aragoth and the Sunrise sect?" Gaya asked a rhetorical question as Nathen threw an 'it's doable' look. In this world, a portal was used to travel from one place to another in an instant by temporarily creating a gateway between two places. This method of traveling was not without its downfalls, one of those downfalls was, the longer the distance and the bigger the portal, the more unstable the gateway. Also, building a portal between two places required an immense amount of rare resources and at least a 3-star Alchemist, depending on the portal's distance and size.

As the name suggests, the mini-portal could only let one person travel through one or two times a day. These were the reasons why Michael didn't bother to build a portal between the Sunrise sect and the Dark forest. Moreover, there was already a teleportation array in the Abyssal, only if he could repair the array, he would be able to travel to any corner of the world in an instant as the array in Abyssal was a powerful intricate array. According to the system, he needed either a 5-star runemaster or system-level 5.0 to completely repair the array. For now, Michael had no urgent need for this teleportation array or a portal, instead, he wanted to buy a teleportation skill and upgrade it to the level where he could travel anywhere before one could snap. Although Lightning Dash was fast, teleporting was faster and more badass.

"They are right, Teacher, Sect Master would definitely build a mini-portal for you to travel between. Besides, who would teach and prepare us for the Kethen competition if you resigned" Nathen did not even need to ask whether Ghost would teach them or not as he already knew the answer, 'No he won't'.

Nathen was right because Michael would rather eat, sleep and train rather than prepare a bunch of youngsters for a competition.

"How much time do you spend here teaching?" Michael asked,

"Three hours a day, I'll spend the rest of my day cultivating and studying," Olivia said with a faint smile on her face. Just by looking at her face, Michael could tell that the higher-ups would definitely build her a portal, after all, resources and gold coins were not something Aragoth lacked.

"Alright, take a few days to settle everything here, I'll come pick you after I visited Nathen's home" Nathen didn't forget that his uncle asked Ghost to visit him as soon as he finishes cultivating. However, Nathen creased his brows after he heard him,

"Didn't you say you were going to break through?" 

"I did" the very next moment, Nathen looked closer at the flow of Ghost's Arch Energy.

"Whoa" Nathen's eyes widened, looking at Nathen, Olivia looked closer at Ghost to be startled by his cultivation level.

"Teacher I thought you were...teacher you...how" Olivia was speechless, she heard from NAthen that Ghost was at level 10 Body refining stage while they were in Nether Realm, it was only a few days after they came out yet, he jumped from Body Refining stage level 10 to Body Strengthening stage level 5.

This was too much!

This was a heaven-defying cultivation speed!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 700 badass points]

Nathen's world was spinning around him, making him hard to stand still. Olivia on the other hand was overwhelmed by shock and joy because she could not only learn Alchemy but also cultivation tricks from him.

"I hit a jackpot, I'm really lucky," Olivia said to herself. She was not the only one who felt lucky, Nathen's inner voice reminded him about the competition for the next head of House Bradley. If he could utilize Ghost's friendship correctly, he might get an edge over all his rivals for the head seat. He began to plot his own plans keeping Ghost in his mind while Michael plotted to use both Olivia and Nathen to expand his influence.

Everyone in the room had their own plans, using each other, they wanted to move forward in their life. Michael would have definitely supported in any way he can to make Nathen the next head of Bradley because he would rather deal with the devil he knows than an unknown devil.

"When can we leave, Nathen?" Michael asked, bringing Nathen back from his trance.

"Tomorrow morning-"

"Huuuu" Nathen was intercepted by a sudden cry that came from Michael's chest.

"Teacher!" Olivia jumped back when she saw something inside Michael's chest trembling violently.

Michael's face turned dark, feeling the baby dragon in his pocket twitching frantically. When he put his hand inside to take out the baby dragon, a warm yet cold liquid touched his skin. He gently took out the Baby Dragon to see it was bleeding, the baby dragon's scales had become grey and he was bleeding through all of his pores on the body.

"Teacher is that...a dragon?"

"Holy shit it is," Nathen exclaimed.

"Baby Dragon, what's happening to him?" Michael's felt dread in his core staring at the baby dragon who laid on his hand eyes closed, body twitching.

In a couple of seconds, the remaining crimson scales also turned grey,

"System!" Michael screamed in his head calling the system for help.

[The system is in safe mode!]

[Unable to answer Host's question while in safe mode!]

Michael felt his training to keep himself calm despite the situation being tested by the system at this exact moment. He took a few deep breaths after exiting the system.

"Let me see" Gaya creased her brows reaching out to feel the baby dragon's body.

Olivia and Nathen stood there speaking no words because they knew something bad happening to the baby dragon. Since they did not know a way to help, they kept their mouth shut.

"I'll give him a healing potion," Michael said, readying himself to use the healing potion on the baby dragon, "no, stop it" Gaya stopped him and continued to run her fingers through the blood-covered body of the baby dragon.

After a few minutes under the gazes of the three, Gaya sighed,

"Ghost, he's a death kissed Dragon"

"What do you mean?"

"He's dying" Michael's heart jumped a beat hearing her. Although he only spent a short amount of time with the baby dragon, he felt deeply connected to the dragon. He could not simply forget the dragon's face or the times he played with him. The baby dragon made him happy, light-hearted, Michael knew the Dragon loved him more than he loved himself. Maybe it was because both of them were abandoned as a child, never knowing their parents made their bonds stronger.

"Tell me there's a way to cure him" 

"There's no cure for Death kiss, Ghost. I thought it was weird that he could not fly or absorb Arch Energy like us " Gaya said, ever since she met this baby dragon, he couldn't fly like any baby dragons of his age, he would always hop like a bunny to move around. She also noticed that the baby dragon would often fall asleep, spending most of the day sleeping.

However she never thought he was death kissed, it made sense why Ghost never met the mother dragon near the baby dragon, the reason for that was the mother dragon sensed the death kiss on him and threw him away. It was really unfortunate as only one dragon in a million would get death kissed.

"Teacher" Olivia called, her tone was suppressed, fearing any wrong word would make him mad.

Michael turned his gaze away from the baby dragon to Olivia while still cradling the unconscious baby dragon in his hand,

"There might be someone who could help him"

"Who?" Michael asked, finally a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes

"In Royal land, there's someone called the Doctor, I heard he could perform miracles, cure many incurable diseases yet many would say he's a myth but if he's not, maybe he could cure him" 

"I heard about him," Nathen nodded after he heard Olivia.

"I heard about him too but even if he could cure him, how do we find the Doctor? As you just said, he might be a myth"

"I have to look for him, I will look for him and if he exists, I will find him" Michael wasn't in the mood for second-guessing, he wanted to save the baby dragon, any means necessary.

But until he could find a way to save the baby dragon permanently, he needed to keep him alive.

"How much time does he have?" Michael asked looking at Gaya who clearly knew more about dragons than the three of them combined,

"In his condition, we can keep him barely alive for another three weeks tops," Gaya said as she took out a healing potion from her space ring and poured it over the baby dragon. The greyish scales barely showed a glimpse of the crimson red underneath

"We need to do this at least ten times a day" Nathen raised his brows slightly, a single healing potion cost 9000 gold coins, this meant Ghost would spend 90,000 gold coins on the baby dragon to keep him alive. This amount was for a single day, if Ghost did this for three weeks, he would spend almost 2million, just to keep the baby dragon alive until he could find the Doctor if he exists that is.
