He was stuck only because he overused a way of progressing that he couldn't 'learn' anything new to progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, when he was at the peak of any level, advancing also took time since he wasn't sure how to 'advance'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, to go from level 3 to level 4 in the space path, he needed to do the reverse of 'space binding', the Unbinding—weakening or loosening the space as opposed to freezing it. He achieved it only through a lot of trial and error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the one-stop solution to everything was a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would help him with bottlenecks and also in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he needed a Water Awakener of at least level 5 or level 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that awakener must be someone he could absolutely trust. Because not only would he show that he was going to awaken in a new path, but most importantly, his mind-boggling progress speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that someone happened to be—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian helplessly smiled as Sarah softly punched him in the chest. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her waist and breathed in her scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's punches slowed down and finally, she rested her head on his chest while hugging him a bit too tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still remember me?\" She raised her head and asked with a grudging face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahaha.\" Varian laughed awkwardly and tried to think of a response. He hadn't contacted her since Valos began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master did miss you a couple of times.\" Boo came to the rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gave the little ghost a silent thumbs up and nodded with a serious face. \"I missed you a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah narrowed her eyes in doubt as her gaze altered between Varian and Boo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the ghost ship lightly shook as it soared into the clouds from the defense academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at the shrinking academy while his brain continued to think of an explanation that could satisfy her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Sarah asked after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really!\" Varian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really!\" Boo added. \"While we were at Valos, Master even thought of buying you a gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was about to nod when he suddenly flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thought of?\" Sarah raised a brow and smiled cutely. \"So, he didn't he buy…why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—That gift wa—\" Varian felt like a broken radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master said shopping would take too long, so he went back to training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's heart nearly stopped as he felt the warm body in his embrace cool down like an ice cube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gulp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his gaze lightly to see Sarah gazing at him with an indifferent face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn it! Boo, during that time, I was anxious every day about the war! How do you expect me to shop, eh?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo simply went back to driving while it kept an eye on them. Presumably, it was waiting to throw Varian under the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah left his embrace and took a few steps back. Folding her arms, she said. \"I have a question, please answer me honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a deep look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Sarah was in a black top and blue shorts. With the ponytail adding to her liveliness, when he first picked her up at the academy, she looked like an energetic beautiful young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with spread-out hair that flowed down her shoulders and sharp eyes, she looked more mature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was distracted for a moment but managed to nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you come to meet me because you missed me or….\" Sarah's words trailed off, but her gaze was fixed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck!' Varian cursed inwardly and was about to answer when a cute voice destroyed the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master hopes you can help him train in water path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah stomped and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo guided her to a room that they had recently built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Varian silently scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait, why did it come to this…?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw Boo cheerfully humming a tune as it operated the ghost ship to a nearby water dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins popped up in Varian's forehead and he decided he'd let Boo sit through horror movies until it begged him to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bo—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's exclamation cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian heard the surprise in her voice and quickly teleported to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah was inspecting a white bed. It looked perfectly fine, but Sarah's nose was wrinkled and she seemed to be smelling…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is Enigma's room.' Varian facepalmed inwardly and glanced at Boo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo looked back at him with a cute and innocent expression that said. 'It's not intentional, I swear!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Swear your ass! This is definitely intentional!' Varian clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enigma?\" Sarah asked, with her face facing the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious. The fact that Dreamer was helping Enigma was all over the news after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah clenched her fist and asked in a low voice. \"…How is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Varian raised a brow in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…I don't think what was done is correct. A lot of cadets in our military faction and in the academy, in general, witnessed Shadow Guardians helping others.\" Sarah said with a frustrated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's safe. Don't worry.\" Varian said lightly and seeing Sarah breathe a sigh of relief, he added. \"Her problem would be solved…soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were slightly red. \"And for her, you're going to risk your life, am I right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","5645446a6bbaf85ee8907de9d84325df6a1b3ad7cebb983bfda87d1cabdcf876","divine-path-system-chapter-482","divine-path-system-chapter-480",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
