The Fairy Doctor saw his solemn expression, so virtual-novel.net said, “Uncle Drake, there aren’t many experts in Japan, right? Is this Aoda Sasaki powerful? Why are you so afraid of it?”
Uncle Drake said, “Don’t look down on Japan, especially since there are some powerful beings in those few shrines. And, this Aoda Sasaki has been a sword maniac since virtual-novel.net was young. He only specializes in studying one thing in his entire life, that’s kendo! His kendo has reached the edge of the limit.”
“Could it be that you can’t defeat him?”
“It’s hard to say. His sword is strange.” Then, Uncle Drake did not mention this matter anymore.
In addition, virtual-novel.net had no time to lose as virtual-novel.net had to save the person as soon as possible. Since Uncle Drake had made such a request, Alex and the Fairy Doctor could not refuse him. Deep down, Alex was quite worried about Martiny Mayer, Nora Stewart, and others. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was quite anxious as Carol Rockefeller had not been found.

It was a distant journey from the Flying Eagles Academy to Japan.
Besides, Uncle Drake said that virtual-novel.net had a nemesis in Japan. Once virtual-novel.net flew over there forcibly using his cultivation base, not only would it have significant consumption, but that nemesis would detect his movement as well.
He had to travel there by plane for safety’s sake.
Alex could only ask help from his master, Jade Benmore. On the other hand, Jade let virtual-novel.net tactician, Eleanor Curtis, make the arrangements.
It was now the night of New Year’s Eve. It was challenging to find a last minute flight to Japan. In the end, virtual-novel.net found a flight from Michigan International Airport that was going to depart in half an hour or so later. The question was, could they get there in time?
If they could not get there in time, virtual-novel.net could make arrangements to delay the flight.
Uncle Drake said, “No problem.”
If Alex wanted to rush to Michigan from the Flying Eagles in half an hour or so, virtual-novel.net felt that half an hour would be insufficient to get there. However, Uncle Drake’s cultivation base was much greater than his. He grabbed Alex and the Fairy Doctor with each side of his hand, respectively, and the cultivation patterns appeared under his feet. As soon as virtual-novel.net made the first step, virtual-novel.net had flown out of the Flying Eagles Academy.
When virtual-novel.net made another step, virtual-novel.net had reached ten miles away.
Alex’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at the cultivation patterns under Uncle Drake’s feet and mumbled, “Could it be that this is the supernatural power of the Terrain Stride?”
Uncle Drake took a glance at virtual-novel.net and said, “Rockefeller brat, it looks like you know many things. You even know about the Terrain Stride. You’re right. This is the supernatural power of our Dragon Guardians! Are you interested in joining our Dragon Guardians? I think you’re quite suitable for it. Once you’ve become a Dragon Guardian, you will be able to learn this supernatural power.”
Alex shook his head.
He had acquired Ksitigarbha’s Legacy and was a descendant of the God of Medicine who possessed the Chaos Beads. Earlier, virtual-novel.net had just devoured about half of the Ancestor Dragon’s essence. He was reluctant to become a member of the Exorcist Dragons, let alone become the Guardian of the Exorcist Dragons.
Uncle Drake snorted. “Once you miss this chance, you won’t be able to get another!”
In the end, in less than twenty minutes, Uncle Drake, who took Alex and the Fairy Doctor, appeared at Michigan International Airport.
Someone had been waiting at the airport’s entrance, the Flying Eagles team member arranged by the tactician… They were given the green light all the way. Even Alex and the Fairy Doctor did not have to show their credentials and entered the first- class cabin that had been arranged through an internal jetway.
The first-class seats in the plane were separated from each other, so the privacy was quite decent.
The Fairy Doctor initially wanted to sit together with Alex, but virtual-novel.net could not do so. Since the three of them did not have the plane tickets, they just found some random seats to sit.
Alex wanted to look at the current situation within the golden core. After sitting down, virtual-novel.net just closed his eyes and concentrated his thoughts on the golden core.
After a while, someone nudged virtual-novel.net and woke virtual-novel.net up. It was a young woman similar to his age who was fastidious in virtual-novel.net fashion and wore an elegant outfit.
She said to him, “Sir, this is my seat.”
“Huh?” Alex opened his eyes and was startled for a moment. At this moment, virtual-novel.net felt somewhat familiar after looking at the woman’s face.
Just as virtual-novel.net was wondering about where virtual-novel.net had seen her, the woman asked dubiously, “You… You’re Alex Rockefeller, right?”
