The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

The seal was so tough that even Frank could not make it budge easily.

Still, he concluded after probing it that it was a protective seal that did not hurt the body. The only issue was that it prevented a person from charging their vigor—in fact, any form of vigor that showed up in the body would activate the seal, which would in turn be dispelled.

It appeared that Kat's journey as a martial artist had ended before it started, as the seal made it virtually impossible for her to use her vigor.

However, it begged other questions.

For one, it would take a martial artist peaking at Ascendant rank to cast such a seal, and at a great cost to the psyche.

In that case, what made Kat worth the trouble for an Ascendant rank going that far to cast that seal?

And if the seal proved unstable, it would consume the host in a split second, making it a severe risk.

Could Kat's birth involve some major players who were at least peak Ascendant rank?

Even across all of Draconia, Ascendant ranks were a rarity, and peak Ascendant rank even more so.
