Gabriel's eyes widened like saucers. He stared intently at Liam, his face full of shock. "Grandmaster Burrey, are you alright?"Liam looked up at Gabriel upon hearing his words. "What could possibly be wrong?"Gabriel swallowed hard and pointed upwards with his finger. "You just jumped from such a height..."Liam glanced at the sky and shook his head. "That height is nothing.""I..."Gabriel was left speechless. When Liam had jumped, the plane was still nearly 200 meters above the ground!Leaping from such a height and remaining unscathed… Gabriel was in disbelief.However, Liam did not pay attention to Gabriel. After contemplating, he calmly said, "If the plane hadn't descended, the height from the first position might've been somewhat dangerous for me."Hearing Liam's words, Gabriel was even more stunned. The first time Liam requested a lower altitude, Gabriel had specifically checked the instrument panel. The height was over 530 meters!Jumping from a height comparable to t
As Gabriel stood in the center of the base, the entire area remained deathly silent. Everyone was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened, unable to snap out of it.Despite his own daze, Gabriel forced himself to speak with energy. "Alright. Everyone, listen to me. I told you I would bring in a coach with extraordinary skills. Grandmaster Burrey is the coach I painstakingly invited!"As he spoke, he stepped aside to reveal Liam standing behind him, "Everyone must've seen what happened earlier. There shouldn't be any doubt about Grandmaster Burrey's abilities, but I must say, his skills are even more remarkable than what you've seen!"With a serious expression, Gabriel continued, "I believe that under Grandmaster Burrey's guidance, our Special Forces team in the Central Military Region will achieve new breakthroughs in the upcoming competition!"Hearing Gabriel's words, the Special Forces team members below finally snapped out of their stupor.Bluebird frowned with he
Bluebird did not deny Liam's abilities. However, she could not accept that just because Liam was exceptional, he could act so arrogant and say such conceited things.The competition for the Special Forces was not about the instructors' abilities. It was about the strength of each Special Forces team in their respective war zones!Bluebird was genuinely puzzled. How could the so-called 'Grandmaster Burrey' transform their Central Military Region's Special Forces team in just three short months? After all, whether it was physical fitness or military skills, both required time to accumulate."First place?"Even Gabriel was stunned when he heard Liam's words. Like Bluebird, he also found Liam's words somewhat unrealistic. Despite knowing that Liam's abilities were profound and unfathomable, he thought Liam would still not understand the complexity of the Special Forces competition. Competing among all the Special Forces teams in Hestia was truly not that simple!Initially, Gabri
After confirming the relevant situation, Gabriel prepared to return. Although the Special Forces squad competition was important, other matters in the Central Military District required his attention.Bluebird nodded slightly after hearing Gabriel's words.After arranging a few more things, Gabriel left the Special Forces squad’s base without giving the team members another chance to speak. The faces of the other squad members grew increasingly grim after his departure."Introduce your Special Forces squad and the competition," Liam said calmly, looking at Bluebird."Central Military District's Special Forces squad is named Nine Nether. There are currently twelve active members, and I am the captain, Bluebird..." Despite her dissatisfaction, Bluebird began to introduce the team. As the captain, she was efficient and straightforward, using no unnecessary words. In a few short sentences, she provided a clear introduction."The Special Forces squad competition involves Special Forc
Chimera looked up, his face livid as he spoke. "You don't even know how to use a gun, and you want to be our instructor?"He could not fathom what Gabriel was thinking.How could someone unfamiliar with Special Forces teams, unaware of the competition projects, and unable to use a basic firearm be chosen as their instructor? Was it solely because of Liam's reputed personal strength?However, what good was individual prowess in that situation? What could Liam accomplish in just three short months?Chimera was not the only one. The other members of the Special Forces team also displayed expressions of anger and disbelief.Liam's response to Chimera's accusation was calm and composed. He shook his head slightly and said, "I admit I don't know how to use a gun, but I can learn. Once I've learned, I can teach you.""What are you thinking? How can you even say such a thing?"Yeti, the sniper of the Nine Nether squad, widened his eyes in astonishment. Firearms proficiency required time
However, Liam did not respond to Yeti's words. He had already positioned himself behind the shooting platform and began fiddling with the firearms. The variety of guns on the platform was extensive. Liam picked up an assembled assault rifle and examined it."This is ridiculous!"Yeti's face was full of ridicule as he watched Liam's clumsy movements, clearly indicating it was his first time handling a gun. Barehanded, Yeti might not be a match for Liam, but Yeti had supreme confidence when it came to firearms. Not to mention, Liam's reaction made it obvious he was a complete novice with guns."Watch closely and see how the gun is assembled!"Yeti stepped behind the shooting platform and cast a cold glance at Liam. In the next moment, he grabbed the firearm components from the platform, and his hands moved swiftly. With a few crisp clicks, the gun parts flew together. In just 20 seconds, the assault rifle was assembled.Yeti could not help but sneer when he saw Liam still stan
Yeti stared at Liam with wide eyes in disbelief. Do you think you have what it takes to compete with me?"Yeti could not comprehend who had given Liam the courage to utter such bold words. Gabriel respectfully addressed Liam as 'Grandmaster Burrey', but did Liam truly believe himself to be a master?Liam spoke calmly, his expression unchanging. "Let's begin. Do you want to go first, or should I?"Yeti sneered at Liam's display of confidence. Shaking his head, he stepped up to the shooting platform. "Watch closely and learn," he said, glancing at Liam.On the shooting platform were various firearm components. Like last time, Yeti chose to assemble the most challenging assault rifle. He reached for the bare gun body, and his hands began to move swiftly.Yeti's speed was remarkable. Many parts were assembled without him even looking at them. His confidence stemmed from over a decade of intimate familiarity with firearms.Quickly, he loaded ten bullets into the magazine, and the
The gun parts suddenly trembled, seemingly pulled by an invisible force. Then, with a crisp 'click', the parts floated and landed on the bare rifle frame almost simultaneously.In less than a second, the assault rifle was fully assembled."Impossible!" Bluebird stood up abruptly in astonishment. The scene before her was beyond her imagination. How did the so-called 'Grandmaster Burrey' achieve that?Liam paid no attention to the reactions of the Nine Nether squad members beside him.Liam picked up the assault rifle after assembling it. However, his posture with the gun was strange, clearly untrained. He held the assault rifle with one hand, yet his grip was exceptionally steady, as if he were holding a delicate instrument, not moving a millimeter.As soon as Liam raised the gun, he pulled the trigger without hesitating.Bang! Bang! Bang!Gunfire rang out.Unlike Yeti's rhythmic and paused shooting, Liam fired ten shots in one go.The rifle's massive recoil seemed non-existen
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
