If it weren't for the fact that Xu Ke had practiced the Heaven-Defying Fate Change Technique—which depleted his cultivation and subjected him to a seal from the mysterious Oath of the Medical Path—he would have become unstoppable in the country by now, given his talent and incredible rate of progress.
"You're exaggerating, Madame Yu," Xu Ke said, a bit embarrassed as he rubbed his nose. "I'm well aware of my own cultivation level. It's nowhere near invincible."

"A disciple should never surpass their master," Xu Ke said with a chuckle.
Ki Qinyin's expression then turned serious. "That's why, Dr. Xu, I hope you understand. If there is anything you need the Northern Dragon Guard to do, just tell us! Kang An and I will forever owe you our lives!"
Xu Ke's expression changed slightly at her words. "Madame Yu, that's too much!"
