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
Soon, Chimera joined the rest of the Nine Nether squad members.Bluebird's expression turned even more grim when she saw the anxious Chimera standing before her. "What on earth is going on?!"Chimera was supposed to be at the firing range, watching the targets. He was only allowed to return after receiving a notification, so why did he dare to come back on his own?Chimera, panting heavily, did not bother to explain much and answered quickly."Captain... Something went wrong during the target practice."Bluebird's face flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction. "What went wrong?" Chimera hurriedly handed the target paper in his hand to Bluebird. "Grandmaster Burrey's results... There's a problem!""A problem?"Bluebird's brows furrowed even more as she opened the crumpled target paper. Apart from the mark in the center left by Liam's lucky shot, the rest of the paper was clean!Bluebird looked up, her voice cold as she addressed Chimera. "One hit, ten points. What's wrong with t
The Nine Nether squad was in a state of utter bewilderment!They knew how difficult the shooting task was. Even the best Special Forces teams from other military districts scored only 97 points in the shooting competition!As for a perfect score of 100 points, the members of the Nine Nether Squad had never seen or even heard of such a feat. However, Liam achieved it in just 36 seconds using a method they had never seen!What was even more shocking was that just a few minutes ago, Liam was a complete novice who did not even know how to use a gun.Thinking back to everything that had just happened, the squad members could not help but tremble. They finally understood the meaning behind Liam's words!However, they also realized that even after Liam had learned to shoot, they might not be able to master it themselves.In the military, there is always admiration for the strong.If Liam's first jump from a high altitude shocked the Nine Nether squad members, then the latest situation
Upon hearing Yeti's words, the other members of the Nine Nether squad quickly turned to look at Liam.Despite Liam's incredible power, which had repeatedly impressed them, the most important thing at the moment was their own improvement. They could only achieve better results in the Special Forces squad competition by enhancing their skills.Having gone through everything earlier, the members of the Nine Nether squad suddenly had more confidence in Liam's words. After all, in their eyes, everything Liam had done seemed almost godlike. It was no wonder Commander Warren had such respect for Liam!Liam glanced at Yeti and said calmly, "I initially thought there might be different techniques for shooting, but after my earlier attempts, I realized that, like the other tasks you mentioned, the core of shooting lies in one's control over one's body."Only by mastering your body, stabilizing your muscles, and controlling your breathing can you handle firearms better and achieve better re
Chimera stood in the back, his face full of resentment. "Rumor has it that there's a special instructor in their team, someone known as a martial arts Master. Their physical prowess must be related to this Master."Hearing Chimera's words, Liam was momentarily stunned. "Martial arts Master?"Chimera turned to Liam. "Even you know about the martial arts Master, Grandmaster Burrey?"The next moment, Chimera seemed to recall Liam's previous performance, and his eyes widened. "Grandmaster Burrey, don't tell me you're our martial arts Master?""Sort of," Liam replied with a faint smile.He was not well-versed in martial arts matters, so he did not elaborate much.Chimera was in shock. "So, the martial arts Master is this powerful! No wonder we're no match for the Special Forces teams from other regions!"He cursed angrily, "They have such an incredible instructor training them, while we've never even seen a martial arts Master!"Yeti, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "We have Gra
Liam calmly looked at Bluebird. "That's enough."Bluebird was momentarily stunned. "What did you say, Grandmaster Burrey?"I said three months is enough time," Liam said, shaking his head.From the beginning, Liam had said that it was more than enough to transform the Nine Nether squad even with less than three months left. However, judging by their reactions, it was clear they had not listened to his words.Bluebird's eyes widened. "Is three months enough? Do you have a plan, Grandmaster Burrey?"Bluebird's voice suddenly rose a few octaves. "If you truly have a way to improve our strength quickly, then whatever you need, you can just ask. Even if it means going through fire and water, we won't hesitate! The Nine Nether squad is not afraid of hardship!"Bluebird's eyes were filled with unwavering determination. It was evident that they had a burning desire to improve their strength. For a long time, they had endured the shame from other Special Forces teams in different war zo
The chilling aura emanating from Liam was so intense that it left the Nine Nether squad members breathless."For the Bird Dance, stand on two hands, lift one foot, stretch two arms, raise your eyebrows, and exert strength. Repeat each fourteen times, sit and stretch legs, hands holding feet each seven times, retract and extend arms each seven times..."As Liam finished the final set of the Bird Dance, he exhaled lightly and stood still.However, despite Liam completing the technique, the members of the Nine Nether squad remained silent. They were still immersed in the power of Liam's martial arts display.A moment later, Bluebird was the first to regain her composure. She trembled as she looked at Liam and asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, how did you manage that? It felt like I truly saw a fierce tiger..."Bluebird had previously learned some martial arts, but to her, they seemed more like flashy moves—not nearly as practical as the free combat techniques she learned in the military. H
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
