Chapter 285: Chapter 285 - Enlightenment Tea
Sure enough! Dimitri Brynlee was connected to my father!
My emotions suddenly surged with excitement.
My breathing even quickened with the realization.
Dimitri Brynlee seemed to pick up on my emotional state, settling onto a stone before speaking slowly, "It appears you know very little about your father."
I moved closer impatiently, "Master Brynlee, what’s your connection to my father, and who exactly is he?"
Dimitri Brynlee looked up at the sky and said slowly, "I don’t really know your father personally, but I do know he’s a man of extraordinary abilities."
"Back then, I was just an ordinary Inner Strength Master, the weakest among my peers."
"Later, I happened to meet your father. He offered me a chance."
I felt puzzled.
A chance my father provided?
Transforming someone from the bottom to a renowned Master in the River North Region?
What kind of method was that?
I waited with both anticipation and nervousness for Dimitri Brynlee’ next words.
Dimitri Brynlee continued, "Back then, he lowered his strength to the Master Realm and sparred with me once."
I suddenly understood.
No wonder Dimitri Brynlee had also forcibly suppressed his strength to the Master Realm! It turned out my father had once taught Dimitri Brynlee this way!
"What happened?" I asked.
Dimitri Brynlee smiled bitterly, "He simply lifted his hand, and I lost consciousness."
I couldn’t help but gasp.
My father actually achieved such overwhelming dominance within the same realm!
Even I with my chaotic body couldn’t accomplish this!
"Of course, I knew no techniques back then, so I can’t compare myself to you," Dimitri Brynlee sighed.
"If you and I were truly at the same level, perhaps you could have done the same," Dimitri Brynlee chuckled.
I remained silent, but inwardly I somewhat agreed.
I didn’t even take Grandmasters seriously, let alone those in the same realm.
"Master Brynlee, can you tell me what kind of person my father really is? Is he still alive? Who is my mother? Why have they never come to see me?" I fired off several questions at once.
Dimitri Brynlee seemed uncertain how to respond.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "My encounter with your father lasted only three days, and I don’t know him well."
"But I know his capabilities may be beyond our understanding."
"As for where he went, nobody knows, but I believe I’m not the only one who has received his help."
My shock deepened.
My desire to learn everything about my father grew even stronger.
"Oh right," Dimitri Brynlee suddenly remembered something.
"Your father left me ten leaves of Enlightenment Tea. He said seven leaves are for me and three for you," Dimitri Brynlee said.
"Enlightenment Tea?" I felt somewhat unfamiliar with this term.
Dimitri Brynlee nodded and said, "After I consumed the Enlightenment Tea, my strength shot up instantly, advancing from the Master Realm into the Grandmaster Realm."
I gasped in amazement!
Skipping two major levels, the Enlightenment Tea was truly a divine treasure!
With the Enlightenment Tea, I could directly advance to the Monastic Stage or even higher, right?
In that case, I would have the foundation to go to Capital City!
"Master Brynlee, where is the Enlightenment Tea?" I asked anxiously.
Dimitri Brynlee shook his head and said, "Before I met you, I wasn’t certain whether you were his descendant, so I didn’t bring the Enlightenment Tea with me."
"So... the Enlightenment Tea is in River North?" I asked hurriedly.
Dimitri Brynlee slowly stood up and smiled, "Exactly. If you’re willing, you can come with me to retrieve it."
"Of course, I’m willing!" I nodded eagerly.
So my father had even left behind such a sacred relic!
Dimitri Brynlee rose from the stone, placing his hands behind his back before speaking slowly, "Alright, get ready and we’ll depart tomorrow."
After saying this, Dimitri turned and left.
His speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from my sight.
I sat in the courtyard, my mind unable to calm down for a long time.
I became increasingly curious about my father.
What kind of person was he, really? How did he compare to War God Ignacio Richard? Why wasn’t there any legend about him in the world?
And who, exactly, was my mother?
Countless thoughts flooded my mind and disturbed my heart momentarily.
I sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating my qi through my meridians.
After circulating my qi three times, my emotions finally began to settle slightly.
I stood up, gazing at the sky and reflecting on my confrontation with Dimitri Brynlee.
After the battle, I clearly recognized my own weaknesses.
Although I possessed overwhelmingly powerful physical strength, it seemed insignificant against opponents as fast as Dimitri and could even make me a sitting duck.
"I need to figure out a solution," I thought.
I returned to my room and began searching for techniques in my inheritance.
——
Outside, the unconscious reporters finally regained consciousness.
Looking at the scene in the courtyard, they were naturally confused.
"Where are they? Where did they go?"
"What happened to us? Why did we suddenly black out?"
"Judging from the state of the courtyard, it looks like the two of them already fought."
After much discussion, they decided to interview Mason.
Taking the lead was a young female reporter who had just graduated from college. Dressed in business attire, her outfit highlighted her figure alluringly.
The female journalist, followed by several others, pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened, my eyes snapped open suddenly.
"Who gave you permission to enter?" I asked coldly.
The female journalist approached quickly and spoke politely, "I’m sorry, Mr. Raymond. We are reporters from the River North Martial Arts Association and we have a question for you."
I glanced at her and replied, "Sorry, I don’t have time."
The female reporter looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Mr. Raymond, we mean no harm; it’s just..."
"I said, I don’t have time," I interrupted her.
The female reporter could only retreat and leave disappointedly.
I waved my hand and shut the door.
At night, Victor Green returned from outside.
He sat down next to me and said, "Mr. Raymond, I went out and walked around today, and it was quite rewarding."
"Following the breathing method you taught me, my progress has been incredibly fast!"
I glanced at Victor, and indeed, he had already reached the peak of the Inner Strength Masters.
His progress was very rapid.
"Mr. Raymond, let me take you somewhere tomorrow. The qi there is extremely abundant!" Victor said excitedly.
I was somewhat surprised, but just as I was about to speak, a knock on the door interrupted me.
Victor opened the door to see a professionally dressed girl.
It was none other than the female journalist.
"Is Mason Raymond home?" she asked in a soft voice.
Victor quickly shouted towards the room, "Mr. Raymond, there’s a busty girl looking for you!"
