Felix had never felt so powerless before. The hope in everyone's eyes was an indescribably heavy mountain weighing on his shoulders.

"You've done your best, Felix. So, don't put the blame on yourself." Jack smiled. He knew Felix better than everyone else. It wasn't that Felix didn't want to save everyone. It was that he couldn't.

The masked man had risked his life to kill them. Felix would never believe that this wasn't related to the Martial Arts Competition.

He had never expected to fall victim to this poison, too, not when he was already extremely powerful. From this, it was clear how valuable this poison was. The masked man must have been sure that this could kill all the young martial artists here.

Suddenly, inspiration flashed in his mind. Felix fished out his phone and called Selmer. "Bring the alchemy furnace here as soon as possible!"

Felix had brought with him to Yartford one of the two furnaces he owned for sudden emergencies. Little did he know it would really come in handy.

He called Yasmin after that. "Ms. Qualls, I need these herbs for an emergency. How long do you need to prepare them? I'll have someone collect them from you. This is a life-and-death situation!"

Yasmin replied immediately, "I'm in Yartford, where Qualls Pharmaceutical's largest medicinal herb warehouses are, so I can have them ready in an hour."

"Thank you so much," Felix said.

One of the pills in the medical book Gerald had given him was an antidote pill. He had no idea if this would work against the poison, but he was out of ideas at this point.

The Windseeker Pill he'd cultivated had miraculous effects. The pill he gave Selmer also enabled him to achieve a breakthrough and reach True Blood Realm. These past experiences made Felix quite hopeful. The loud whirring of helicopters came from afar. Everyone looked up to see dozens of helicopters coming toward them at breakneck speed, which, again, gave them hope.

Xena wasn't the only new arrival. Aside from the Shadowdragon Warlord, all the Warlords had come with. The entourage also consisted of many master healers, all of whom Felix knew, such as Silas, Xander, and Wesley.

"Lemuel will be here in 20 minutes at most," Xena said.

Felix nodded. Perhaps Lemuel would have a solution to this problem.

"The situation is more serious than I thought," Xena remarked, looking at everyone sitting cross-legged in the yard.

There were about 60 of them in total, all of them young martial artists with high potential. It wasn't just that, though. Aiden's and Ocean's identities were enough reason for everyone to take this

situation seriously.

If all these martial artists ended up dying here today, the entirety of Dragonia would be shaken.noveldrama

About 15 minutes later, Silas and the other master healers said gravely "There's nothing we can do. This is our first time witnessing a poison so lethal. If Felix weren't here, they would've been dead."

Xander kept on sighing. "Are you also uncertain that you can heal them, Felix?"

Felix smiled bitterly. "I can only suppress the poison temporarily but not eradicate it. This poison is terrifying."

He couldn't even remove the poison from his own body, much less heal anyone else.

Hector shook his head after he was done with a phone call. "Don't expect that old man to do anything. He said that there's no antidote to this poison, and no one in this world is capable of making one.

"He discovered the poison in a cave by a cliff, and it's a very old poison. It probably has been preserved

until now since ancient times."

Everyone wasn't feeling totally hopeless, but the news dealt a heavy blow nonetheless.

Another helicopter whirred into sight-Lemuel was finally here.
