With the Branch Master standing in front of him and seemingly stopping him from going any further, Adam who was carrying Su Lan's unconscious body was getting slightly annoyed.

But not with the Branch Master, whose actions were understandable, but with the fact that there were people who would take advantage in a situation like Su Lan and that was the first thing people assumed when he carried her unconscious body away.

"Listen, I am not some weirdo. I will just be healing her and helping her breakthrough, so prepare us a private room and I will be finished in about 2 hours, which will give the other participants left some time to recover and the audience some time to get some food," he said to the Branch Master sternly.

Despite Adam seemingly being a mere early Advanced Cultivator, for some reason, the Branch Master felt obliged to obey his instruction and act respectfully towards him.

But despite that urge, he still maintained his dignity as the Branch Master and announced, "Liao Wei after winning his bout is even kind enough to heal his opponent and will be back to take part in the semi-finals."

Then after making what Adam was planning on doing clear, he said to him, "Follow me. I will take you to a private room, but only if you allow me to oversee the process."

It was somewhat agitating that the Branch Master still believed that Adam would do something filthy while Su Lan was unconscious, but he wasn't against it and didn't bother using the Charm Skill on him.

He didn't need to hide how he was going to repay Su Lan, while using the Charm Skill would be detrimental to his mind and body after how much he had already used his Mind Ring and the Ethereal Combat Trance Skill.

They moved relatively quickly through the Martial Arts Union Branch, and the Branch Master unusually somewhat trusted Adam, so instructed the medics to not worry about Su Lan and that he would take responsibility if anything bad happened.

Su Lan's condition wasn't fatal and dealing with over-exhaustion of energy was quite easy, with the patient merely requiring rest and maybe some sort of pill or energy transfusion to speed up their recovery.

Which made him curious as to what Adam's intentions were and how he was planning on helping Su Lan not only recover, but also break through.

From what the Branch Master could see, Su Lan was only a mid-level Advanced Cultivator despite the power and skill that she was able to display, so breaking through to the Master Cultivation Level was almost impossible and would harm her body.

So he hadn't even thought about that as a possibility, while even improving slightly would be very difficult for Adam to help her do, since he was at an even lower cultivation level than her.

Which meant that he should have less energy than her within his body, and after their battle, definitely should be fatigued. And one also needed to be very skilled to aid one in their cultivation and help them improve.

Helping others in cultivating wasn't something that was widely used, or at least not regularly, with seniors usually helping their juniors in key junctures during their cultivation, such as when they reach breakthroughs.

All of those things just made the Branch Master believe Adam's claim less and less, but for some reason, he still felt as though maybe he truly could help her. 

Following his instincts despite how unfeasible it seemed, the Branch Master didn't have much to lose as watched Adam closely with an interested expression. 

Even as a skilled Grandmaster Cultivator he wouldn't be completely confident in helping an Advanced Cultivator improve much with his energy, and even if he could, it wouldn't be very beneficial for the one he was helping.

Forcefully breaking through and improving would usually be detrimental to a cultivator's foundations and hinder their future potential greatly, which was why usually only those that were desperate or had low talent would resort to such things.

So, even though he had a gut feeling about Adam, he still needed to be careful and make sure that he didn't do anything that harmed Su Lan.

"I will be watching closely, so don't try anything or do anything that might cause her any harm. If I see that you do, I will have to stop you and won't be able to stop you from the wrath of her family," the Branch Master warned.

Adam just nodded his head and didn't care about his warning, confident in his own skills, and not afraid of him or anybody else.

Placing Su Lan on the ground and helping her sit in a cross-legged position, Adam then sat behind her in the same position and placed her hands on her back.

Before doing anything, he released a burst of energy into her body, that would slowly circulate around her body and help her regain consciousness.

And in that time, he activated the Ethereal Recovery Skill to recover his HP and Internal Energy, and also to relax his mind that had been quite heavily strained over the course of the day.

An hour passed, and the Branch Master couldn't help but start to get bored, but as a cultivator, he obviously was very patient and continued to watch in amazement as all the wounds around Adam's body closed.

Such rapid recovery speeds were unheard of, but he still hadn't done much to help Su Lan other than supplying her with some energy.

However, once she regained consciousness, Adam opened his eyes and seemed to finally be planning on starting whatever he had in mind.

As soon as she woke up, Su Lan jumped up despite how strained her body was, and despite barely being conscious, she sensed two individuals around her and formed a small blade in her right hand.

Unlike Adam's energy blades, it was made out of Sword Energy, something that Adam was still unable to use, as she took a moment to understand what was going on.

Adam was impressed by her instincts and how quickly and expertly she could use her energy, despite recovering only a small amount of it, but he was more focused on helping her breakthrough.
