"Uncle Lincon, thank you for worrying about me. I'm indeed still alive." Dustin nodded.

Dustin didn't know about Lincon's past. Thus, he felt a bit taken aback by how emotional Lincon got.

"It's a good thing that you're still alive!" Lincon was both surprised and happy. "Ten years have passed so quickly. You've gotten so tall. I almost didn't manage to recognize you."

"That's right. It's been ten years. A lot of things are different now," Dustin replied with a sigh.

Ten years ago, his mother passed away, and his father was also assassinated ten years later.

Over the course of ten years, both of his parents were no longer around. It was a tragic fact.

"Uncle Lincon, you said you would fully support the monarchy if you met Logan. Now that you've seen my eldest brother, you won't go back on your word, right?" Austin tried asking.

"If His Highness is willing to inherit the throne, I'll support him to ascend the throne even if I have to sacrifice myself!" Lincon replied earnestly.

    "Well …" Dustin furrowed his brow, seemingly hesitating."Your Highness!" Lincon suddenly clasped his hands and claimed, "I'm willing to help you with anything you face. "If you trust me, let me handle this for you. I will secretly contact those loyal ministers and gather them. When the timing is right, we'll surely assist you. You only need to give us a call!""You're indeed a righteous person. I respect you for that!" Austin couldn't help but praise."If that's the case, thank you." Dustin clasped his hands back at him."It's my pleasure to be able to do something for you," Lincon replied."Sir Blaze, something bad has happened!" a guard ran inside and shouted. "We got the news that soldiers have surrounded West Lucozian castle. The monarchy is in a dire situation!""What? It's being surrounded?" Austin and Dustin's expressions went grim when they heard that.They were only out of the castle for two days. However, they didn't expect a change to happen so quickly."What happ

    It was late at night, and a large number of armed soldiers formed a human wall outside the castle, surrounding it.A dense crowd stood outside the castle, easily numbering tens of thousands!These were only the vanguard forces. There was still a team of armed military forces outside of the castle.They were the soldiers of the Northern Four Sovereigns. Among them were also Julius' guards.However, they had disguised themselves to blend in. Meanwhile, Eloise was wearing mourning clothes and a hat inside the castle. She had an indifferent expression as she stood outside the gate.She was also holding a sharp sword. This caused her to look formidable and full of killing intent.As the princess consort, she stepped forward unhesitatingly at the most critical moment. She stood alone at the forefront.Jaxon stood behind her, along with Draken Guardians dressed in combat gear.Although there were not many of them, they were the most powerful force in the monarchy.Behind the Draken

    The heavy castle door was banged on relentlessly, and the noise echoed with a resounding impact.Each strike resembled the blow of a giant hammer, resonating deeply in the hearts of everyone within."Open the door!" Eloise shouted, ordering the servants to open the door.The unexpected move caused the soldiers attempting to break in to be completely baffled. They had no idea why Eloise would do such a thing.At this time, it made more sense for Eloise to close the door and defend till the end. Thus, they wondered why Eloise took the initiative to open the door.Perhaps there was a trap inside."Draven, Atticus, Mortimer, Ignatius, come out!" Eloise called out while holding her sword.The soldiers outside were reluctant to approach because of her formidable presence. The four names she called out were the Northern Four Sovereigns, the main forces behind the rebellion."What's the matter? Do you guys not dare to admit what you've done? Are you guys just a bunch of cowards?" See

    "The only way into the castle is over my dead body!" With a huge sword in her hand, Eloise stood alone with great courage at the main entrance to defend the castle. She wasn't actually a strong fighter. At most, she could pass as a divine-level martial artist. However, her current presence was stronger than that of a grandmaster.The common soldiers and even Draven were stunned. His brow was locked in a deep frown, and he didn't dare to move. The only thing he could do was to look at the three other sovereigns.Threats and the palace revolution aside, they needed a valid reason to attack Eloise. If they didn't, the people would protest and turn against them. They surrounded the castle in the name of staking out the killer. They'd be able to get off the hook if they acted a little brashly. They could use overwhelming sadness and being overly emotional as their excuse for their rude behavior.However, they'd never be able to explain themselves if the princess died in the revolt.

    Eloise was delighted to see her son's safe return. However, her happiness was soon replaced with gloominess. She quickly realized that Austin came back with the same number of people and didn't bring extra military support."Did he fail?" Eloise frowned slightly, and her heart was getting heavier by the minute. Their only hope was to get military support from the Southern Four Sovereigns. Only then could they fight the Northern Four Sovereigns. From the looks of it, things were not looking up."How dare you! Who gave you permission to enter and search the castle? Are you courting death?" Austin shouted. His voice was as loud as thunder, and everyone present could hear him. It was almost deafening. The soldiers under the leadership of the four sovereigns were suddenly afraid to move."Oh, it's Prince Austin. You have returned." Draven let out a short laugh. He added, "We, the Four Sovereigns, have discovered that the killer is in the castle. To avenge Prince Rufus, we need to

    "Fuck!" Austin was suddenly filled with anger when he saw the fully armed soldiers rushing in. He no longer had any mercy for them as he charged forward with his sword in hand. He had already achieved the grandmaster status, and with his experience in the battlefields, he was ready for action. He stormed ahead with determination and courage."Protect the Crown Prince! Charge!" Eloise pointed her sword toward the sky. The Draken Guardians behind her quickly withdrew their weapons."Charge!" Waving his longsword, Jaxon led the Draken Guardians into the battlefield. The Draken Guardians might be a small team, but each member was a trained elite fighter. They were an invincible force under the guidance of a grandmaster, Jaxon. The team of around a hundred was like a sharp and long knife. It didn't matter if their opponent's numbers were in the tens of thousands as they'd be able to besiege the core of the army.The Four Sovereigns retreated under the protection of the royal guards

    Just when Ignatius got ready to speak, he pointed to a direction while narrowing his eyes and shouted in surprise, "Look! What is that?"The others looked in the direction he was pointing. They saw a dark object in the sky heading straight down, and it crashed in the middle of their troops.The explosion was deafening, and everything quaked as dust rose. There was a gigantic wave of energy spreading outward from the point of explosion like tsunami waves. The energy wave left a trail of destruction and painful moans wherever it passed. This attack killed and wounded at least a few hundred soldiers."The fuck! What the hell was that?" Draven squinted his eyes. He couldn't see what attacked them due to the thick clouds of dust."Could it be a meteorite?" Atticus sounded a little confused."A shooting star? How could there be such a coincidence?" Mortimer refused to believe it."I can see it clearly now! It's a person!" Ignatius had good vision and pointed at where the object fell.

    Ignatius was very alert. He quickly retreated with the royal guards when he saw the assassin advancing closer. Keeping himself alive was a priority now. He just needed to avoid the assassination attempt. When the assassin grew tired, he'd order the soldiers to kill him. This was the safest option."Draven, I think Ignatius is right. Safety first. I'll retreat for now." Atticus didn't dare to stay any longer as he slowly retreated with the royal guards when he saw Ignatius leaving."Hmm! All of you are just scared!" Draven frowned slightly with a disgruntled look. He then turned to look at Mortimer and expressively said, "Mortimer, you've always been a brave fighter. You're certainly not retreating like those two, right?""Of course not!" Mortimer stretched a little bit and smirked, "It's just an assassin. There's nothing to be afraid of!" He became a sovereign after a bloody and hellish experience. There was nothing he had not seen. A worthless assassin was not enough to scare

    "H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

    With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

    Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

    Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

    The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a

    "Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int

    Compared to the second green sword, Glenn's third sword was even more powerful. As it descended, accompanied by the fury of a fire dragon, it carried the destructive force of a world-shattering storm.Fenley, whose energy flow was disrupted earlier, watched the fiery red long sword streak toward like a falling meteor. His heart raced and was gripped by a sudden sense of impending doom.With a roar, he risked the backlash effect and unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy. The ethereal divine spirit behind him instantly transformed into a figure with three heads and six arms. This was the complete form of the Four Elements of God's Technique.At that instant, he threw everything he had into the fight. He controlled the spirit to slam its giant arms into the flaming sword. With a loud explosion, the sword tore through the spirit's palms and continued its unyielding path toward Fenley. But its speed had slowed slightly.Without hesitation, he controlled the spirit to strike ag

    When the spectators heard the match was about to begin, the excitement reached a fever pitch. Half of them cheered for Fenley while the other half chanted Glenn's name. Both were the Chosen Ones, and their popularity was undeniable. Everyone had been waiting for their face-off in the battle ring.Though Fenley ranked slightly below Glenn on the Legendary List, his fame and influence as the successor to the Celestial Alliance's guildmaster outshined Glenn's. Ultimately, the question of who was stronger could only be answered in the ring."I've been waiting for this day, Glenn." Fenley stared at him intently. His voice was powerful and commanding. He continued, "Others say I'm not your equal, but I refuse to believe it. Today, we'll find out whether your sword is faster or if my Four Elements of God's Technique is superior.""The moment you said that, you've already lost. Your doubt shows you lack the confidence to defeat me," Glenn replied calmly. If this were a fight-to-the-deat
